“Note: I have not completed the game, i just needed a break from the mediocrity. tl;dr Thought i was in a very long tutorial and as it turns out, its the actual game. Pros Tits supposedly Actual dating sim. Good writing Cons In the trailer…”
“It was...meh. I tend to keep games on, so I actually only played about 10-15 hours of this which is how long it took me to read it. The story was okay but the characters were one-dimensional, romance seemed forced, and the story was brief…”
