  • The character designs and art style are charming, showcasing a variety of personalities and backstories.
  • The mini-game adds a fun element to the gameplay, allowing players to engage in a different way, with an option to skip if desired.
  • The game offers a refreshing approach to character presentation, including pronouns and backstory before making romantic choices.
  • The game feels unfinished, with numerous bugs, missing voice lines, and a lack of character interaction that detracts from immersion.
  • The core gameplay loop is repetitive and lacks meaningful choices, making it feel more like a spectator experience rather than an engaging dating sim.
  • The writing and dialogue often feel detached and lack the heart and humor found in the developers' previous work, leading to a less enjoyable experience.
  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story features enjoyable characters with engaging backstories, though some players feel the pacing drags in the middle and lacks sufficient depth to justify the game's price. While the overarching plot about the merger adds intrigue, it may not captivate all players from the start, leading to mixed feelings about the narrative's ability to draw them in. Overall, the character interactions and potential for development are highlighted as strong points, but the initial story engagement appears to be a concern for some.

    • “More importantly, though, I was delighted by the overarching plot payoff regarding the merger.”
    • “The way the characters are presented to you with not only pronouns, but also some backstory before you make your choices on who to potentially romance is refreshing.”
    • “So far I've both cried tears of joy and sadness, squealed at plot developments, and had my fair share of laughs from the first three characters I'm following.”
    • “I feel that there is just not enough character development, or story to justify the price of this game as it stands.”
    • “You're merely spectating and these storylines will go how they go; it only matters if you choose to be romantic or platonic with each character at the start.”
    • “It's there, but it's not a story that will draw you in from the beginning; in fact, I've struggled to get into it.”
  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay primarily revolves around a match-3 minigame that serves as a break from the visual novel elements, but it is criticized for its repetitiveness and lack of engaging replay value. Players feel disconnected from the narrative, as they are only given vague summaries of events rather than experiencing them directly. Overall, while there is potential for improvement with updates, the core gameplay mechanics are seen as fundamentally flawed.

    • “It's a match 3+ game with an extra mechanic, and it's nice to break up the visual novel portion.”
    • “The 'dates' mechanic is simply a match-3 minigame, and you're told vaguely what you and the character did together after every date without actually getting to experience it yourself.”
    • “The core gameplay feels repetitive, but not in a way that provides much replay value.”
    • “I will never know if this game is worth playing, so right up front my review is not about the gameplay.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics received mixed feedback, with some praising the lovely artwork and humor reminiscent of the Dream Daddy team, while others criticized the dated art style and questioned the originality of the visuals. Overall, the aesthetic appeals to some but may not resonate with all players.

    • “The artwork from the Dream Daddy team is lovely, with some jokes and references that made me chuckle, albeit being a bit dated by this point.”
    • “Especially in the art style they've been drawn in.”
    • “Did they just use the same art style?”
    • “The art style is particularly disappointing.”
    • “The graphics feel outdated and lack originality.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that character development in the game is lacking, with some players feeling that the narrative does not justify the game's price. However, there is appreciation for the variety and creativity in character designs, particularly the concept of gijinka for object supplies.

    • “Positively speaking, the concept of making object supply gijinka and the variety of character designs are absolutely lovely.”
    • “I feel that there is just not enough character development or story to justify the price of this game as it stands.”
    • “Also, the character design for Madelyn from HR being a sports bra and track shorts to work felt wrong.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that the humor in the game lacks the charm and wit found in "Dream Daddy," with some players feeling that the dialogue falls flat. While there is hope that the humor may improve as the story progresses, initial impressions suggest it struggles to engage.

    • “The dialogue is filled with clever wit and playful banter that keeps the mood light and entertaining.”
    • “The humor is charming and adds a delightful layer to the storytelling, making the experience enjoyable.”
    • “I appreciate the quirky jokes and funny situations that arise, which really enhance the overall gameplay.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers express disappointment in the game's replayability, noting the absence of essential features like auto and skip options, which are crucial for visual novels. Additionally, the core gameplay is described as repetitive, failing to offer meaningful incentives for replaying the game.

    • “There is no auto or skip option, two very basic features that any visual novel should have, especially one that claims to offer so much replayability.”
    • “The core gameplay feels repetitive, but not in a way that provides much replay value.”
    • “The lack of meaningful choices makes it hard to justify multiple playthroughs.”
