Way too short for a release. Also the girls are very forward in their flirting, but very little happens. Sluggish story which is very hard to follow and get invested in. Girls are good looking and good variety on types and sizes, but they all seem to want to sleep with you right there on the spot, yet nothing happens. Doesnt seem like choises matter much and sometimes you get a handjob with out consent.
Has potential, but dont buy until episode 5+

The Good:
1. Jaw Dropping graphics (no AI note at the bottom either)
2. Beautiful animations
3. Hot Lewd scenes
4. Basketball and Music
The Bad:
1. Extremely short, although on sale the game is well worth it
2. Super EMO moment and an effeminate looking main character
Overall it's a buy and a developer I will follow

The visuals are nice. Just remember that this is Season 1 Episode 1. This whole episode is set-up for what's to come later. So many dramatic situations are set up, but you won't be investigating any of them in this episode. There are some choices to be made that do matter to how the story unfolds, but there are also times when you're forced into certain situations that you might rather have avoided. Don't know about all the other translations, but the English translation is harsh and offputting and the dialogue feels unnatural. And there's so much filler text, it drove me to sleep a couple of times, which is why I racked up as many "hours played " as I did. The game is short for the price, and this isn't Early Access. You'll be paying for subsequent DLCs for later episodes. The premise sounds good, but you hardly get into any of it in this episode. I can't in good faith to my fellow gamers recommend the game. But if you decide to try the game anyway, at least get it on sale, and I hope...
