This game bounces between #2 and #3 on my top college life games. It isn't a perfect game, but damn it I just can't get enough.
The story starts out like any other college life game, the MC goes to college. Crazy. But unlike others, this one has a plot thicker than just college life. There is almost a GTA V heists feel as of the latest update (0.4). Like any good AVN, the story goes deeper than just sex.
The models are nice, but I have a bone to pick. Why do almost all of them have the same nose? Look at the banner photo for this game and tell me those noses aren't almost all identical. There is little variation in the female models. Skin color and hair are the biggest difference and even then I get confused as to who is being talked about. I'd like to see more differentiation in the female models, even the MILF looks like the students.
The art style is that reality adjacent porcelain smooth look that I think works quite nice. The only things that are really lovingly rendered are the feet strangely enough. The rest of the bodies are smooth and almost featureless but the feet you can see the veins and metatarsals very clearly. I'm not much of a foot guy myself, but these are really nice looking feet...but their out of place. They look way too detailed for the rest of the art style.
The MC looks like a college aged man, unlike some other games that seem to confuses high school freshman with college freshmen. He is a good looking dude and has a good sense of style. I can't tell you how many games are hurt by a generic donkey-faced MC. He has a. blank slate personality that is mostly molded by the choices you make as a player.
Choices: you make em! They actually matter too. There is a decent point system that works two-fold. On one, there is your relationships with the girls that is determined by your social choices with them. On the second is your character attributes; intellect, strength, charisma, ect. Your stats in a certain area will lock some social interactions and open others. The game is designed to be played multiple times. Also, don't worry, the stats aren't hidden away leaving you to wonder what the hell is going on, you can see them on your phone.
Speaking of phones: you can't have an AVN anymore without a phone! The one in this game is pretty limited. You can text other girls when prompted and look at stats/ tips. There is a social media app but I as of 0.4 it is unusable. There are also some light free roam sections, some of which have limitations, so look out and save often.
The game is done really well and it seems to be written by a native english speaker. If I had to guess it would be someone from the UK or Australia because of some of the vernacular/phrases that are used. I enjoy the pacing, although some of the relationships start seemingly out of nowhere with little work being put into them, so that's odd but I can live with it.
This one is certainly worth a look. It's polished, the visuals are nice, the story is thought out so far, and the characters are more than just sex dolls with vocal cords. There are light animations that improve the games quality as well. In the future it might be my bonafide #2 behind BAD and a true 5 star worthy game, but I'd like to see it really set itself apart in future updates.
