    Good art. That's kind of it really. I downloaded this game a while back but never finished it, then decided to play it again recently and realized exactly why I didn't finish it the first time around.

    While this game is fully focused on the harem aspect, to the point where there's no art for each of the individual girls' endings, it's really not worth it to go for all of them. If you play this game, just pick whichever one or two girls you whose route you wanna see the most, do their route, then you can stop playing.

    The main problem with this game is how little it respects your time. Holy shit. The grind. A playthrough of this game will take like 4 hours to fully complete, but if you took out all the pointless money and stat grinds, this game would last like half an hour. Yes, it's that bad. Here's an example, if you talk with one of the girls, you get 5-7 affections points. To fully complete any of their routes, you need 300, so assuming you get an average of 6 affection per talk, it'll take 50 talks total. Each interaction costs 25 of your 100 daily energy, meaning you'll probably take until day 13 to max out a single girl's affection. EXCEPT YOU WON'T!!! Because on top of that, each girl has a secondary stat that you'll need to reach at least 40 of to unlock every scene in their route, so considering how you have to grind for them too, it's basically impossible to to fully complete even a single girl's route on a first playthrough... unless, of course, you grind even more!

    So, the main thing you wanna do first is get all 15 trash on the beach and give it to the trash collector, and find and return the sunscreen for the woman on the area to the right. This will give you 600 yen, which you can use to buy 2 waters, which recover 30 energy. Then, you work part time at the restaurant, which costs 50 energy and gives 800 yen, and puts you in a 10 second unskippable cutscene. Keep working part time and using water to recover energy, then buy more water bottles for working more. Keep doing that until you have 15k or so yen, so you can the amulet of goodwill for 3000 yen, which increases affection gained by talking from 5-7 to 8-10, then buy as many waters as you can. Gifts for the girls are pointless. The most expensive gift is also 3000 yen, and increases affection from 16-19. You could instead buy 10 waters, which give you 300 energy, for 12 talks, which, assuming you already got the amulet and get the minimum amount of affection every time, will give you 96 affection.

    So anyway, after grinding for like 20-30 minutes, feel free to start the route of whatever girl you wanna go for, talk to them to increase affection, use water to recover energy, keep going until you reach the next scene, which will require 10 of any given attribute. You can grind more money for the books that increase these attributes, though it's not necessary for charm and playfulness, since those you can just get from the kids or the chads, it's 25 energy for a 2-3 increase, which, if you have enough waters you can get 40 by day 1. You get kindness from working at the restaurant, so if you grinded for money you already have it well above the threshold. Sex appeal is obtained from finding hentai manga around the beach, there's 5, they respawn every day, their locations are fixed, and they give 2-3 sex appeal per one you get, so you probably won't take many days to max it out without the books. Integrity sucks ass to grind. If you get all 15 trash on the beach each day, you gain a whopping 3, meaning it will take you until the literal last day of the game to get 40 of it. Just grind more money for the books in the shop, it's faster that way, but not more fun in the slightest.

    What else... there's like 5 songs in the game, they're serviceable, but I have grown to resent all of them because they're played in an endless loop for 4 fucking hours. The story is you go to beach to get coochie and then you get coochie. Each of the girls have like 5 lines in the talk action, which you're gonna see a billion times. Sexy talk is talk but worse, you get less affection from it than regular talk for all of the girls, even the more openly promiscuous ones who would make sense to give more affection from it but nope.

    So in conclusion : This is a fine, if basic 20-40 minute game with good art and varied love interests, stretched into a 3-5 hour slog of a game thanks to a ton of pointless grinding and time-wasting bullshit. You can have a decent enough time if you only play the route of whichever girl interests you the most, but going for the harem ending just isn't worth it whatsoever.

    THIS GOTTA BE ONE OF THE WORST GAME I SEEN!

    yes game does have cheat menu and easy mode, but you just got me started

    "gameplay loop and design"
    • you collect 5 trash on the beanch
    • you give it to guy on the beach
    • you get 100 gold
    • you go home to respawn trash
    • you need 3000 to buy book of charm/playful/kindness
    • once you get 40 of the same book you can play 1 event with 1 girl
    i m so furious!
    i hate this f game
    what the heck is that
    Naturally game have patreon and discord link where i would be ashamed to sign it with a proxy

    It's a reasonable game, made with RPG Maker and with all the basic features of a game made with this engine. The art is the game's strong point, as the gameplay and the time to see all the scenes are loooong, which, unfortunately, makes it a bit boring.

    Love a pick-up game at the beach. Your classic grind up girls slowly and unlock scenes for them game.

    *Download the translation fixes too!

    Pros:
    • 5 girls to get scenes 4
    • 20 scenes total. 4 per girl
    • Gallery included
    • Girls are well-done and each have unique personalities.
    • Cheats are in the game. Go find sunscreen, give it to the lady and she tells you there's a way to sneak into the women's room. Cheats are in there.

    Cons:
    • Extremely grindy and repetitive
    • Translations/grammar errors. Most fixed with the patch.
    • Scenes are not animated, all stills
    • No VAs, just basic SFX
    • Around 1-2 hours to complete. Could be faster if it wasn't so grindy.

    Conclusion:
    Overall, I do recommend the game. If the game gets too grindy, use the cheats to max out stats, affection or just unlock the gallery.

    This isn't worth playing through.
    • Repetitive tasks to gain money, stats and affection.
    • Interactions with girls are really shallow.
    • H-scenes are short and don't deliver much in the way of emotion.
    • Girls have something of a character arc but it has to happen within 4 events (and in the span of a few days, maybe even a single one if you optimize), leaving you to feel like the pacing is all wrong.
    • The random talk with girls is especially bad, because there's like 3-4 possible choices so everyone sounds like a broken record.
    • No individual endings.
    Only play this if you're absolutely starved for cunny, because Riryumu is pretty cute. That's all.

    This was a waste of time. Game play was ok I did enjoy it, but the rewards were so bad. Still pictures with some variations, each character has 4 scenes and they are garbage. There is only one anal with a character I would not touch with gloves on.
    The best part of this game is the cover art, there is not much else. These is cheat menu that will jump you to the last scene for each character skipping all scenes in between... Garbage.

    Too much for not enough.

    Altough the visuals look nice the gameplay is very barebones and grindy for not enough payoff.

    The day counter doesnt matter when the only limit is your stamina and you turn a profit from working, buying stamina recovery supplies and then working again so you are never at a real risk for losinga all of your stamina. And the work itself is an unskippable 8 second cutscene, you have no other reliable money source either, you will be doing this work for approximately 40 minutes.

    The stats are... lackluster. There are no quests or minigames or any meangingful requirments to raise them, you just talk to npc A and spend stamina and your stats go up, the stats themselves do nothing either, only stat checks for scenes, zero impact on gameplay other than gatekeeping, forcing you to spam work even more instead of creating more fun gameplay.

    The sexual harrasement mechanic is stupid, not only becaue it achieves nothing but it actively hinders you. Oh you wanted to see a single picture of grabbing her tits? Roll a dice and give up 25% of your stamina, and your reward is nothing but that picture, zero affect of gameplay other than draining your stamina.

    Raising affection is not engaging either, just spam talk and consume water to replenish your stamina(gifts are worthless, spending the money on stamina and using it to talk gives more affection) and when you pass the threshold of affection it asks for a random stat check before giving you your scene.

    The scenes are decent.

    But overall the game isn't engaging at all, its just mindless and numbing grinding for payoff that doesnt feel like it is worth it.
