Really enjoyed this game. Loads of content and hot situations to get into, and you can do more or less everything in a single play. Took me about 24 hours of playtime to get every item in the recollection gallery but you could get through faster doing just the main quest.
The main drawback is the render quality, which isn't all that great to be honest. It's mostly why I'm not giving five stars. You mostly get one or two static images per scene, and these images are very basic compared to most other games on this site. The writing, gameplay and context makes up for it somewhat though.
Being an RPGM game, it also has the usual annoyances, like inventory issues. Fortunately the game is *very* light on combat and inventory management is mostly limited to picking the right outfits. There's also no text or scene skip as usual, and the game doesn't have a quest journal. There's a recollection room that sort of works like one but getting to it requires finding a warp spot (special books) around the game world. And with my gold fish memory, this involved more trips than I would have liked to re-read the hints as I kept losing track of what I should be doing next.
All in all though, enjoyable game.
Also a tip for prospective players: You don't actually need to work at the school every day. You can skip time by going to your bed again in the morning/evening. I discovered this later in the game than I want to admit
