It's being greenlight for a steam release in a safe for work kind of version. The non steam version however is a full blown hentai:


This guy knows his eroge.

Voices are in english obviously



lol

I'm keeping close tabs on this one.

Kickstarted this game. I am very interested in the Candy Crush-like gameplay that this VN and how it will be implemented within the characters progression.

Really looking forward for my hard-copy and steam version of this game. Very promising and looking forward to it being released and other people's opinino .

Also, Audry best grul. Also looking into Ann-Marie.

Release date somewhat soon! Kyanna and Audrey are the best girls.

Was a little upset about the release push-back but still really anticipating a pretty decent VN. Audrey bes girl.

*EDIT*

The new character, Momo, looks really nice. That and all these new pics for the game makes me want it more~

Decent amount of dark skinned girls. This could be interesting.

It's out now for purchase on Steam and on their website to play. Audrey here I come~

Meh. I prefer Sunrider's gameplay much more.

It's kind of a hard comparison though, the gameplay is distinctly different.

I'm pretty addicted to this game. Anybody else notice the significance of the last names for the girls yet.

How are the English voices?

Actually quite good IMO.

The debate in VNDB though....lol....

Twintails and teacher get. Fairy next. There are 9 girls in total right?

3 secret characters. I know one's a cat-girl, but not the other ones as of right now.

More dating sim than VN in my opinion. Honestly the definition doesn't really matter.



It's nigh impossible to get two of the secret girls without reading about it.

To unlock the secret girl you are missing:




I've done all 12 girls, other than collecting cosmetics the game is pretty much done after that. Well worth the price in my opinion.

Okay I gave this game a shot. It was overall enjoyable experience.

Gameplay is fun. The dates are similar to other match-3s but it plays a little differently and I'm glad it does. Nothing amazingly innovative. The getting-to-know-her part is all right, but I feel it could have had some more depth. I found that picking the "right answer" to some of their questions was difficult to figure out.

The artwork was pretty good for an indie game. However it seems like there are some discrepancies here and there with the style.

The voice acting was overall not spectacular to me but I'd say much better than expected. I was also pleased to see that there was an option to "boopify" voices if you didn't like them.

Writing and dialogue were pretty amusing. Not much else to say about it.

As for character design, well I'm poor judge of that. I'll just say "acceptable". They were fun but I wouldn't go as far as "interesting".

Replayability... it's replayable... but because all the matches are more or less the same it's not amazingly compelling. More game modes and challenges are desired.

Not sure what else to say about this one. It's got a decent amount of playtime, mildly challenging, and seems to be well polished. I've clocked 6 hours so far and I'm at ~33% (curse my impulsive matching).

Minor gripes:
It's kinda awkward if you decide to revisit a girl you've already had. You hear her finish but the corresponding pic doesn't follow up.
I think the UI could use a little bit more clarity and it could also use a quick reference guide in the menu.

Overall, worth $10. Fair price, fun game.

It's the gameplay that I dislike. Just... I've had a bad experience with this type and don't really want to play another one the same.

I think the gameplay side of things was actually fairly sound but I was a bit dissapointed by the lack of character interaction beyond question > answer after the initial character introduction scenes. I think the game would've benefited if it took the time to make some brief relationship building cutscenes at each character's level up, instead of just giving a mechanical date success line! Even the hscenes are executed in the same way with literally two lines of dialogue, one before and one after. Then it just leaves the characters and your relationship with them floating. You can sleep with them again if you want to go through the puzzles more but they just do the exact same thing. The relationships are kind of just concluded with oh, you had sex, time for another girl now. It felt like alot of wasted potential because the character introductions themselves were actually quite entertaining. I would've liked to see more done with them.

There's no routes or anything. Just charming girls with puzzle skills to have sex using puzzle skills and then you just ignore them the rest of the game. Even the question answers interactions with the girls don't actually relate to your relationship with them, but to your character's own "upgrades".

After the initial character intros it just becomes a mechanical game and all the interactions that should happen in the relationship are reduced to success lines and short question answers that have no actual mechanical relation to the relationship itself.

Despite the long tyrade above though, I didn't mind playing it overall. The gameplay was fun and something I haven't dealt with much in the past. I did like the characters even if I felt like they should have had more to offer and it had nice production values. For 10 dollars, it's certainly worth it.

I think the CG images are fantastic for an indie. They definitely have that japanese flair to them.



Which girl in particular, tried giving it to the geek girl but she didn't want it.

edit:
oh okay I get it

ufufu.

How do I get the two other girls?

I haz all cg pics. Also still stuck on kyanna date. Hare to get 200points on that damn game.

It's pretty good for it's price in fact the quality of the CGs makes me think this deal is unfair. I'm almost certain this game wants to be released on mobile from the way it's designed(browsing your phone in game inside a phone) so it might even be cheaper when that happens.
