  • The game features good puzzle design, with some challenging puzzles that provide a satisfying experience.
  • The story is engaging, with well-developed characters and a variety of romantic and friendship routes.
  • It is a free game that showcases the developer's passion and effort, making it a unique and charming experience.
  • Players may be locked out of certain endings, making it difficult to achieve 100% completion without extensive replaying.
  • Some achievements are bugged, leading to frustration when trying to unlock them.
  • The graphics can be inconsistent, with some visuals appearing blurry or pixelated, which may detract from the overall experience.
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, enhancing the narrative without overshadowing it, and is effectively timed to match key moments. However, some users noted issues with the vocal tracks being sparse and occasionally ending too soon, leading to moments of silence. Overall, the soundtrack contributes positively to the experience, though it could benefit from more consistent volume and availability.

    • “I also wanted to note the music; it is used correctly and at the right moments. I understand why there is a reward; it does not interfere with the narrative and does not take on too much attention. Puzzles that need sound are a separate story; you will find out for yourself.”
    • “Engaging story, lovely art, and music to match!”
    • “The soundtrack articulates a fuller experience, one that’s remarkably discrete, not to mention with intriguing tales.”
    • “And finally, this is probably a problem with the music: sometimes music with vocals is located on a couple of slides, and you have to wait for something to listen to. At other times, one music track ends ahead of time, leaving you to go completely without sounds.”
    • “About halfway through the game, there is chipmunk music that feels out of place.”
    • “But then it doesn’t negate the fact that it’s overly quiet, ever reliant on the soundtrack during dramatic and scenic moments, which is a stark contrast to the otherwise engaging gameplay.”
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally well-received, with many praising its logical plot, strong character development, and engaging romantic relationships that foster emotional attachment. While some elements may feel rough around the edges, the narrative is considered a highlight of the game, complemented by fitting music that enhances the overall experience. Overall, the story effectively intertwines reality and fiction, making it a compelling aspect of the game.

    • “It seems to me that many of the ideas, characterizations, and plot structures which are trialed, sometimes with rough edges, in the last secret are refined and honed in Sweet Science.”
    • “Separately, I would like to note the plot; it is beautiful and is a very strong point of this game. A lot of things are logical, the characters feel alive, and it is very interesting to watch their relationships. Romantic relationships are also crafted with high quality. In the end, when you reach the romantic ending, you can’t shake the pleasant feeling from your heart, which is logical because you have already become attached to the characters. I also wanted to note that when you skip the plot to find the ending, the novel does not seem huge, although this feeling is not created when reading.”
    • “Engaging story, lovely art, and music to match!”
    • “The story takes a bit of getting used to, with its snootiness, but then things can only become more exciting as time goes on!”
    • “All these three hints of a tight budget but somehow go hand-in-hand to draw parallels between reality and fiction, which again, is what the plot set out to accomplish.”
    • “It seems to me that many of the ideas, characterizations, and plot structures which are trialed, sometimes with rough edges, in the last secret are refined and honed in sweet science.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game receive mixed feedback; while some appreciate the artistic style and character design, others criticize the lack of polish and clarity, noting issues like blurriness and inconsistent resolution. Overall, the visuals may not meet the expectations of players seeking high-quality graphics, but they do not detract significantly from the overall experience for those who prioritize other elements.

    • “The last secret may not have the polished veneer of sweet science, but I liked its dialogue, characters, and music, and even its occasional change of graphical style.”
    • “The graphics are very well done, but sometimes it's hard to look at a slightly blurry picture. Also, when Karina and I are in the forest, it blends into the background, which looks a bit strange, and sometimes the characters stand out very strongly against the background.”
    • “I’m not a hypocrite; graphics don’t and will never bother me, but I’m just saying it might put other people off.”
    • “The graphics are very well done, but sometimes it's hard to look at a slightly blurry picture. When Karina and I are in the forest, it blends into the background, which looks a bit strange, and sometimes the characters stand out too strongly against it.”
    • “This might sound like I'm being petty and asking too much because it’s a free product, but the discrepancy in quality and clarity of the visuals is hard to ignore.”
    • “The backgrounds will dip in resolution, if not also in art style.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have reported issues with optimization, particularly noting that character gender binding is inconsistent, leading to mismatched voice and character appearances. Additionally, the Ukrainian localization is criticized for being less optimized and more challenging to navigate.

    • “The optimization is severely lacking, leading to frequent crashes and long loading times.”
    • “The game runs poorly on mid-range hardware, making it frustrating for players who can't afford high-end systems.”
    • “There are numerous bugs that affect gameplay, and the overall performance feels unpolished and rushed.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that while the game may have some glitches, its "infinite" replay value contributes to a long-lasting and enjoyable experience.

    • “Not glitch-free; however, the 'infinite' replay value equals long-lasting fun.”
    • “The variety of choices and outcomes keeps me coming back for more.”
    • “Each playthrough feels fresh due to the dynamic story elements and character interactions.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as enlightening but also criticized for its visual novel (VN) elements, which can make understanding character chemistry feel confusing and disconnected, akin to watching a malfunctioning TV.

    • “I had two issues with the gameplay: the first being the visual novel aspect; trying to decipher the character chemistry is like watching a TV that's off.”
