I just tried playing this game for the first time and wow I'm impressed. This is one of the few rare games that actually have likeable characters with fun banter. Character like Donnie in other game would've been relegated to 100% comic relief that offers absolutely nothing else other than playing the idiot loser guy friend role. But here, Donnie is a
fun idiot guy friend role (and not a loser!) that everyone actually likes and gets along with because he's a good character. Victoria said it best.
The scene in the bus station and the bus where everyone talks is one of my favorite scene in any AVN. The dialogue just flows so naturally. We get the funny bits, we get the serious bits, and we get the sad bits too. I have only seen these characters for a short while, but I feel like I already know these characters for years. This is really impressive.
I also really appreciate the detail in the participation of the characters. When Ariana asked the story of how MC and Donnie became friends, she made a joke about not much talking when they hung out together, then Tiny pointed to Lexa who gave Ariana a death stare. So Ariana backpedaled into talking about "studying" instead. Then Lizzie jumped in to the conversation again before MC finally started telling the story. The fact that multiple characters got involved is really attention to detail that we don't get to see much in most other AVNs. Yet in this game, this happens all the time when multiple characters are together. The writing is top-notch.
Not only the detail in writing, but also the detail in physical character interaction too. Ariana sitting on Tiny's lap at the gas station. MC sitting with Yoona when he noticed she was left out again, and then Yoona sit on MC at the gas station too. Brenda moving from the back to the middle of the bus. The pinching game with Victoria. All of these are small things but they helped set the scene so much.
Lastly, of course the girls are all very beautiful too! I am definitely looking forward to see how all the characters will develop from here onwards.
P.S.: I just want to say once again that I am honestly very very very impressed with this game.
