This game takes itself way to seriously for being so unrealistic when it tries to be realistic. Renders are obviously 5/5 but with some mistakes here and there, one I saw many times were hairworks, but also backgrounds shifting and clothes clipping etc...
Also, Sasha's scar... It doesn't look like a scar imo, more like a plastered on wound 'sticker'. I've no idea how long she's had it but it wouldn't look like that no matter how long.
MC is awkwardly written I'd say,the dialogue in the first chapter were weird and when the renders and animations took a jump in quality, so did the MCs dialogue and personality. It doesn't cut it to say he's getting out of his comfort zone and saying he's confused all the time.
The thing about MC's mental health and all the rest of his issues, that instead of it all happening naturally and instead of him already knowing some of the cast, we as well as him, are introduced to everyone at the same time. What I'm trying to say is that things happen in this VN simply out of plot convenience and not because it's what could've happened in real life.
The fact that he gets a psychologist now (an expensive too I might add) when him and his sister goes to college and not when he apparantly were much worse in high school seems unlikely. If his adoptive mother hadn't done anything, which she didn't, then someone else would've i.e. his teacher, counselor oror maybe even social services (i've no idea where this is set, but I assume it is basically the same wherever in the world you are that adopted children are regularily check in on.
Some of the characters are written good, but shallow, or even too deep. We find out one or two things about them and it stops there but then they also get a hobby or two, they work out, they do projects, homework and have a social life filled with shopping, games, partying, even street racing and whatever else. It's sometimes too little or too much.
But I do like that many of them are written as being in similar situations but act and live completely different from eachother.
The fact that there are many potental conflicts being set up througout is also nice to see so we won't get bored with whatever is going on with Summer and whatever else that seems to be the main point in each episode.
It's a good thing that there are no "instant" solutions like some other college VNs would do... *cough *cough
I've no idea where the plot is going but am sure that with all the cast, dev will find a way to tie them all/most of them together before the end.
P.S. No sex scenes at this point is a strange decision waht with it being about college, but I get that the dev is saving if for something special instead of the "cheap" instant gratification where we see the usual cliché porn scenes play out 5 minutes in.
Bottom line: It takes itself way to seriously.
