“There is basically no story (text based sim btw) Stats, skills, etc does not affect the girls you raise, their personality stays the same. On top of that there is censorship (download the jast patch, the moe eros of the artist must be seen)”

“Save yourself the money and the time and buy yourself Chinese Parents, Growing up, or Volcano Princess instead. This one is very boring.”
