I don't think the story is that bad or awesome, it's alright, but one big thing that puts me off is the lack of controllability especially early on, to me, if the story or the characters are not captivating enough, I need some gameplay or it loses me, you see a lot of cutscenes playing out, but you just watch them [and for a big portion of it], for example, I love me some troll, if the boyfriend says I love you and I do not say it back, I giggle, or trolling him hard when he speaks about "our future" that is another plus for me.
I think this game needs a couple of tweaks, but definitely not a bad one, I love the artwork.
I see a lot of people wanting this to be another GGGB, I say to the writer/developer, do your own vision, I selfishly want more female opportunities, but that's my kink, I don't know what story the writer is trying to tell, and I don't wanna impose, the game has a lot of males, and that's clearly the focus, and that's fine, do what you feel what's right story and direction-wise.
