Written after playing the v0.9.3 update
This is my first review for a game here, mainly because I just prefer writting my opinion on the thread than actually giving games a more thought out rating, but this game IMO deserves a more developed opinion from my part.
First I wanna start with the good:
- The renders
The game has some amazing renders, most of the characters are pretty good looking except some that aren't really my cup of tea, this alone makes the game worth it in my opinion, and sadly, it's the only real positive I can think off.
The neutral aspects, you can make an argument for these to be either good or bad
- The sex aspect of the game
This game gets to it pretty quickly and you can basically fuck who you want and the scenes are pretty hot, bear in mind, I'm not playing all of the possible routes as my first playthrough with games with so many characters always is with the ones I like the most only, but the ones I've seen are good.
- The ammount of characters
The game has a lot, and I mean
A LOT of female characters, too much to develop some of them so you just a get to know well a some of them, the positive is most of the characters get scenes pretty quickly.

- The story and the writting
Oh boy, the story as a whole gets pretty interesting but sadly the game is not that good at telling it, which wouldn't bother me that much given how this is the devs first game and the writting is something that can be improved as the game progresses but it just is too over the place with a lot of cuts to meet other characters to fuck lol.
The bad
- The main character
It's basically a Gary Stu, he has no real personality rather than being a good person, he gets some back story to make him seem not that perfect but it really doesn't serve to the development of his character but rather to introduce new people. He serves as emotional support to allmost all of the female characters while never been really affected by it, he is the top prospect basketball recruit even if he barely trains and a lot of other things that really make the MC unbelivable, and that's in part helped by the next point.
-The pacing
This is by far the thing that annoys me the most because it simply breaks my suspension of disbelief, and trust me, as a fan of college basketball there's some BIG things this game gets wrong but it wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for this. TOO MUCH SHIT HAPPENS IN A SINGLE DAY, it feels like the days are 32 hours or even longer, not even a guy who has nothing to do could do as much things as the MC does in the game, let alone the best college athlete in the country, IMHO the 9 days this game currently have should be something around 13 days or even more, given how a top recruit in basketball lasts two semesters in college and so much has happened that it feels imposible to this game to have a story that lasts 10 months; some days are fine but others, like the day where
are just so full of events it feels incredibly unnatural.
This game has a lot going for it, the story is somewhat intersting and the renders are great, but sadly, the game aims at being at the equilibrium of the Nukige games and the Story driven games, but instead ends up jumping back and forth between both sides and hasn't found that sweet spot. Overall I give it a
6/10 so far, honestly, I think the main flaw just can't be fixed in this game unless there's some big change, but I'm looking forward to see how this game continues developing as the positives and knowing the writting can get better make the game interesting enough to follow.
