  • Additional endings add depth and provide a more satisfying conclusion to the couple's story.
  • Gameplay is overly simplistic and linear, often requiring players to talk to a rock for direction.

  • story
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is a compelling blend of personal growth and moral conflict, featuring a linear narrative with critical choices that lead to multiple endings. Players experience intense drama and unexpected twists, making it a unique exploration of themes like decadence and self-discovery. The addition of a patch enhances the experience, while the alternative storyline offers a humorous take on censorship.

    • “This RPG blends exploration with a deeply personal story, unfolding intense drama and unexpected twists that challenge Minako's morals and ethics.”
    • “But, the more the story unfolds, the more we see that it's far from it!”
    • “The story is largely linear, but players face a critical choice at the end, which dictates one of three possible endings.”

  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is primarily linear and revolves around exploration and dialogue, often involving simple mechanics and a user interface that can be lacking.

Despite some minor technical issues, the game offers distinct endings that add a layer of complexity to its straightforward gameplay.

    • “The gameplay is straightforward, focusing on exploration and engaging with the villagers through various quests.”
    • “[td] a narrative-driven RPG Maker game with NTR themes, offering a primarily linear gameplay experience but featuring three distinct endings—two of which are secret and conditionally unlocked.”
    • “[td] overall stable, with minor issues such as occasional collision glitches; no major problems detracting from the gameplay experience.”
    • “The gameplay is literally you walking around, talking to a rock to know where to go next, and then you see some scenes, which are only still images with a lot of text.”
    • “Poor mechanics and UI.”
    • “While its gameplay mechanics may seem straightforward, its narrative complexity will leave players grappling with profound questions about love, loyalty, and the nature of desire.”
  • graphics
