    To me, this game seems to have huge potential. And the level of polish is impressive as well. Whether you enjoy it will come down to some preference. I can see the time management being overwhelming for people who don't like that play style--balancing hunger, tiredness, etc.

    I recommend the creator make an easy mode. Also, for me personally, I would much prefer to have an easy one-click travel system that immediately takes me to where I need to be next in the story or with the daily tasks like school. Similarly, getting dressed, bathing, eating, etc, every morning with extra clicks quickly becomes tedious. So having the character automatically do some part of the routine, which you can later adjust, would help a ton.

    On the other hand, maybe the creator is just making this for the type of audience who enjoys micromanaging. Which is fine, if they are just going for a narrow niche audience. Either way, I will be keeping an eye on this game and retrying it every few updates to see how it develops. Again, huge potential. I recommend other reviewers show creators love for putting this kind of effort into anything.

    There seems to be a decent core of a game in there, but not for now.

    Many spelling mistakes and weird sentences, particularly at the start of the game when it should impress. I've managed to push through, and tried to do the for now seemingly quite empty gameplay loop (I might be missing some things).

    Interchangeable outfits and freedom in looks seemed very attractive to me, however I gave up due the many, many bugs in the code. I dug into the code and fixed some stuff, but gave up after I kept encountering more.
    • References to add_confidence while the function is called add_conf
    • Various other mistakes with adding or removing lust/money
    • You get sent back to the entrance of the house even when you're in the house after 23:00 or so, saying it's too late.
    • Eating is sometimes not possible.
    • And too many others I couldn't be bothered to write down.
    This should've been caught in any basic playtest. Although, given the cheat code that was commented out, maybe even the developer doesn't like the core game play loop.
