Trouble Comes Twice

Look, I actually do like this game. The love interests are interesting, cute and sweet; the stories are a bit on the shorter side, but they're cute; and the art is pretty. HOWEVER, the main female character, Hazel, whom you play as, is absolutely insufferable and unlikeable. She's mean, rude, immature, has the emotional range of a teaspoon and flies off the handle All. Of. The. Freaking. Time. For absolutely nothing at all. Her personality, despite annoying, could be accepted as okay once you start seeing that a lot of it is due to her insecurities, but her attitude is just so completely poop that her "redemption" (her insecurities) is useless. The fact you don't have many choices to make as the player, and, therefore, can't actually stir the conversations or the story in accordance to how you'd prefer the character to be or act makes Hazel's attitude unbearable which, to me, at least, made it hard to get through the game, despite how much I liked Adrian and Cameron and their story...

This game is super cute however playing so many otome games gives me strong opinions and comparisons. The overall game art is beautiful, but I think the CGs are not as pretty as the regular dialogue art. Often the characters don't even look like how they're supposed to, it made special moments less special (to me). I wish Hazel was prettier/had customized character PCs like other games, she's not as STUNNING as ALL the other characters, and I didn't understand why everyone liked her so much. She's also so unlikable/annoying and super immature. Love Zoe and all the boys, but it's frustrating to play as her. Still loved the game and will check out the DLC, good and pretty otome games are shockingly hard to find :)

I've only completed the story for Hazel/Stephanie so I might be posting my review too early, but they are the main couple I got the game for. They're so cute together!! I found all the characters interesting so far and I'm excited to read the rest of the stories. :3
