    Damn You, guys!)) You creation made me crying several times (when i'm not such type of sensitive person) :ROFLMAO:. I tried Your game long time ago. And this time played again from beginning (saves weren't working). What can i say - You're extremely leveled UP in writing and artistic skills. I've got so much pleasure,rainbow of emotions and feelings. I'm so happy to see, how the genre of visual novels progress, when masters are joining to the project. Thank You very much for pleasure! Wish You to finish all of Your projects and ideas. This one is GREAT!Keep the bar of quality! (y)

    Very nice renders and very interesting story. Shaped the characters really well and alive and I enjoy it very much. Chapter 3 is a really good update after a long year of waiting. Keep up the good work!

    The models are attractive and not just super generic Daz 3d models like most games on here. The Story is actually entertaining to the point where I play to know what happens next, and not just for fap material. The characters are all pretty well written as well, they feel real and developed. Definitely one of the better avn's on this site.

    Very nice renders. I like the short cutscene videos. The setup may seem average but I love the well-educated story that unfolds... I like the characters...

    I hope the dev(s) will keep this rolling <3

    This game has just taken the top spot for me, all the girls are impossibly beautiful, and they actually seem to have realistic personalities that make you care for them. This presents you with the problem of actually choosing one to focus on but that’s an awesome problem to have. Congrats on the developers really!

    The protagonist is interesting, and the story is not cookie cutter which have managed to keep my attention easily.

    Things I would change, the long animated transitions that happen at some points don’t really add much to the experience for me and could maybe just be replaced by the music kicking in at those points. Especially if that would mean less time between releases. Maybe save that animation time for when there are actually sex scenes in the game. Don’t get me wrong never expected to like this game so much at a point it doesn’t even have any action in it yet.

    The cons for me are the really long wait between releases and I also worry that the devs might just keep adding more incredible beautiful girls to the story which might lead to the protagonist not really developing his relationship with the existing ones or worse, even longer waiting time between releases.

    All in all this thing is a work of art and should be experienced.

    Truly blown away!

    I've tried the chapter 2 some months ago, but wasn't expecting nearly as much quality as in this new version of the game.

    I'll be probably echoing what others have already said but, the storytelling coupled with some unique characters personalities, the fact that this is not your typical harem game and that every girl has her own wishes and decisions to go through, are all traits that keep this game apart from most.

    Arguably one of the very few games that is making me genuinely care about actual fictional characters that, thanks to meticulous attention and love, can truly feel alive.

    One of the few games i played where melodrama doesn't make me roll my eyes to the back of my skull. Graphically its also up there. It has a lot of potential to be really good, but can go either way. Maybe it will be shit, or maybe it will be the best game.
    There are some criticisms:
    1) Its embarrassing to put so much effort into renders, animations and character models and not proofread your own punctuation. Undermines the quality and makes entire work seem amateurish and low IQ.
    2) The game is approaching 2 year mark and what content is there could be considered a prologue. Another 2 years and all those cool animations and models, which is the strongest side of this game - will all look like shit. 0.3 beta is a pathetic rate of work at 2 year mark. Its entirely possible to make an entire game in 2 years, of similar quality.
    3) Author keeps introducing new girls, there's such thing as too much sugar. MC is becoming spread too thin, like a slim layer of butter across all the girls, and nobody is progressing anywhere with him. Maybe its all part of the developers plan, but at this rate ill have my own son and he will bang all chicks in college faster than MC will.

    Having played a lot of adult games, I can without a doubt say this is the absolute best imo.
    This story so far really stands tall and bold amount the numerous other VN's. It grabs you in and I found myself becoming invested in certain characters more than I'd ever think for a VN. There are lots of unique characters to learn about and I for the love of god can't say how much I love that the MC isn't a pussy like most VNs.
    The renders are top tier, I played the beta version so the music wasn't 100% completed but I enjoyed the ones that were there.

    Overall I would go as far as to call this game a true masterpiece and recommend it to anyone who's interested in a VN with a excellent story and not just interested in sex.

    It was definitely worth the wait and I wish Ocean all the best with both his games.

    6 star rating all the way! This one has it all, graphics, story, music! The plot pulls you in and wraps you up. I can't wait to see where this story is going. Definitely give this one a try and support the dev if you can. Eagerly awaiting more from this dev. Outstanding work, please keep it up.

    This is a really good game. The tone is unique the protag and most of the characters saw bad side of life so narrative is melancholical sometimes. Renders and girls are beutiful especially the work with lights is amazing. Game is mostly teasing yet but its ok I don't like fan service sex just when the story requires it.

    I just can't imagine how anyone could not like this story. Tastes differ, that's for sure, but this VN is several times better than the vast majority in direct comparison. The story is emotional, everyone is warned from the start that it's not a quick number and it's more about the story than personal "pleasure". Even though it took a year to the new update (EP3), it was worth the wait! The story touches me, I am curious how it continues. The characters look great, stories interwoven or told on their own, giving each main character a deeper meaning. For me one of the best VN and I really hope that this VN can be told to the end. So please stop giving this VN bad ratings just because there is no sex yet and because the grammar is not right. Not every developer is a good writer or a native speaker. So I find it a bit inappropriate to criticize someone for that. Keep up the good work! Please we all want to get to the bottom of this story!

    This game is terrible. The whole story is all about dialogue that doesn't keep you in suspense. We have a few nice moments, but it is definitely not enough.
    Renders are by far the worst part of the whole story. They only have a few side shots, but no depth. They lack adequate lighting. Some of Chapter 1 is really like a different game.
    It is not worth waiting for such updates. I don't mention sex, but the whole MC relationship -> The woman they prefer to keep their distance.
    GRAMMAR IS TERRIBLE. The spelling does not exist in this game. And sentences can be interpreted as pure evil.
    Animations .... Nothing interesting background and imposed characters, everyone can do it, I really advise against playing such games.
    Final Score 1/5 Pity wasted potential.

    Explored this story/game from the initial release, seems interesting although updates take extremely long time to come out, Which is off putting. Although in some regard's to RL issues can be understandable.

    * Good story line, not new but it is handled well so far.
    * Renders and graphics are well done, not cheap like so many others.
    * Animations are pretty smooth, and hopefully if there is sexual interaction the animations will not be short and cheap like so many others.
    * The story is immersive, Story is usually better when it can evoke emotions, this story does. Will get confusing if there are too many characters though.

    / Updates take an extremely long time, really testing the patience of anyone interested in the story/game.
    / Spelling and grammar need a lot of work. Many lines are out of context, makes it seem like a cheap novel.
    / Already becoming a bit confusing with so many characters.

    I do give credit to Oceanlabs for the work done so far, it is a higher grade of graphic story than so many others. Very interesting as well.

    So many dev's need to realize that patrons are not going to wait for year's, to go through a story. Way too many take ridiculous amount's of time to put out updates in content ( some do it on purpose ).

    The game become better and better. I really enjoyed the latest version. The graphic is awesome. The plot is pretty cool. I am looking forward to see soon more updates. I would appreciate if not so many women might be introduced and the main character might get a deeper connection. Great work anyway!

    I thought that this was going to be abandoned. Luckily for all of us it didn't and we just need to be very, very patient. After a year wait the update I played today was by far the best I have played since starting to play AVN's.

    Story -- Definitely interesting and not too original with college being the main background. However the diversity of the characters blows most AVN's out of the water. 5/5

    Renders -- Absolutely Amazing 5/5

    Animations -- I am a sucker for blinking animations. All the animations so far are as amazing as the renders. 5/5

    Other -- Please for the love of g.o.d. do not make us wait another year for another update... please!!

    • This visual novel has a lot of potential according to me scenarilly and visually it is one of the best there is just a lack of musical atmosphere that is regulated via custom playlists but the thing that makes this game unique is not only is narration but especially these characters who are all unique in their kind it changes a lot from what we are used to see I'm happy to have discovered this nugget and I hope really that the developer will continue his work he really does a huge job it's this kind of game that we need with a rich story just like Being à Dik who was able to innovate the genre and make known to many fans the adult games that are not only there for a good session to relax the handle but really there to tell a story behind or have life concretely the story of the character in question.
    • Thank you a thousand times Oceanlab for your work, and I wish you to continue your story until its achievement.

    • Thank you for its characters that will remain engraved in my mind, despite two meager chapters, I will not soon forget Bella and our sister Nami without forgetting all the others who are just waiting to be explored further.

    Honestly this is a forgettable VN. I just can't give it any fewer than 3 stars. I realize that lots of time has gone into creating it.
    PROS
    Models are sexy
    No grind
    CONS
    Story is so-so
    MC is either weak or nuts. No development beyond that
    Choices have little impact
    Overall
    As of this version, you only get a hint of what the back story is, but it holds a strong meaning in the present. Maybe that's where I lose interest in this VN. It's been almost a year since I first played this VN, and just happened on it again. So in my opinion, it's completely forgettable. It is a super slow burn. If this one ever gets an update, I'll give it another try. Unless I forget about it again.
