Review:
• Art-style: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
From the landscapes to the flora, from the outdoors to the interiors, from the close-up of the characters to their varying default interactive poses, from the dynamic day-night shifting to the effects surrounding some characters, it's very hard to point out flaws amidst so many variables that could have gone wrong - and that's saying something!
• Gameplay: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
The current available content is very little - even though it probably had countless hours of work into it - which makes it hard to assess gameplay. While the story is linear (choices don't appear to matter at all) and I fail to understand the concept of the "Think about" mechanic other than a time filler, the humorous story and sensuous characters make interacting with the game fun.
• Storyline: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Clearly not supposed to be melodramatic or to be taken seriously, the story has comedic value to it from the very beginning. The plot is intentionally bland, but there is mystery and intrigue that hooks the player about several other characters and that leaves you wondering.
• Grammar: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Even colloquial mannerisms are well inserted in an elaborate set of dialogues with advanced grammar, interesting juxtapositions and intricate spellchecking.
