    • “Fun game with interesting characters, a branching storyline depending on your decisions, and many romance options.”
    • “I found the gameplay and storytelling extremely interesting, and it helps that although there are 7 main love interests, you can have scenes with and feasibly have an ending with all of the other characters in the game - and though I didn't count them, that's more than 30 characters with interesting and well-developed stories.”
