So far as of Days 1-7.
Gameplay: Visual Novel Game with a mostly linear story. No sandbox, free-roaming, stats grinding, crazy story branching and no route-exclusive characters (one girl at a time type games).
Story so far is having fun with itself, not restricted by total realism, social-norms or over-dramatic scenarios.
Good amount of content given per release.
A great variety of characters and personalities to eventually explore. Plenty of sugary sweet moments between the Protagonist and Love Interests.
If you wanna spice up the story, before the game beings you have the option to select one main heroine as female or trans.
Has a confirmed actual True Harem (polygamous/polyamorous romance) route and/or Harem subplot story. Harem as in the Male MC with multiple lovers and the girls agreed upon sharing MC. (I may be showing my bias here.) Not enough visual novel games (and stories in general) here with an actual Harem story route & ending.
A Good and Interesting MC and a change of pace to the typical MC.
At the moment no real criticism, if anything it's more of a preference thing. Like makeup on some of the girls are a little too heavy. Or how cute sweet Natalie'shairstyle is used so commonly by other game developers, that i somewhat wish it was different (assuming such assets are available). (I like Natalie's new hairstyle with her long hair in a ponytail, better than the overused "Voss Hair" model).
Maybe ease up a bit little on some of the wide big smiles on some characters, so they don't look like they got hit by the Joker's laughing gas (from Batman: The Animated Series).
The only possible concern for the story that comes to mind at the moment is making sure every girl/love-interest is given an fair even amount of screen-time and character development. Making sure nobody is forgotten, not solely focused on girls like Jamie and Shauna.
A fun new story to follow and can't wait to see more of it.

- It's not the so-called harem where the MC just has sex with multiple girls and they never find out, unless the plot calls for it lead to a bad ending or players are forced to choose mid-way into the story.
- As too often seen in other games multiple heroines, you’re forced a pick one girl per playthrough if you want a good ending and not get a game-over, players stuck save-scumming.
- Or a harem is saved for the very end as a ending or epilogue.
A Good and Interesting MC and a change of pace to the typical MC.
- Is presented as successful based on his own merits and has something good going for him, and smart, competent, assertive. MC has a goal in sight over than getting laid. Which is rare for MCs. Being the number 1 hottest high school basketball recruit gives him celebrity status and makes him popular among those around him. Already making a name for himself at the start of the story.
- Tall, Mostly-POV (meaning MC doesn’t look like a 12-year-old-boy or frat boy douchebag, so use your imagination on how he looks). (Minor personal opinion: would’ve more unique if the MC’s model was brown-skinned as they’re a rare breed for games here on F95zone).
- Along with being a star athlete, he's portrayed as a well-mannered and level-headed person. Has an good reputation and is popular all-around from his inner circle to everybody else.
- Has his own mystery to explore and tackle with his backstory and personal life of his family upbringing.
- Bonus: Can become a Stud Stallion.
- The overused MC's mundane life suddenly changes due certain events that usually kick-starts the story. (Examples: Supernatural encounters (magical item, mind control, drugs, intervention by a sex god or demon) or suddenly given large earnings or a higher power.)
- No real goal in sight in the story, no type of success to his name, overly flawed to the point of annoyance.
- New guy in town and nobody knows him, except for his family and people at a housing complex of his new job or at college.
- 18-year-old high school/college student and/or plain average guy who's down on his luck with nothing really good going for him / Exaggerated socially-awkward and/or nervous person / Horny virgin / Creeper peeping in bathrooms & fondling sleeping women / Overly-cocky always Joking or is the Butt-monkey.
- Always Looks like either a 12-year-old-boy or a frat boy douchebag who seems to always have a shit-eating grin.
- Scrawny and shorter than all the women (or all the mature women & older women).
- If Older MC, constantly questioning his moral actions after the point of no return. Like a father with an overly-naive & gullible daughter and/or hotheaded daughter.
