Cliché - Critical Change

The author mentions that this game is the last in the series of the parody dating sims they created. So, If you have a spare time, try the other ones too! The first in the series, is Other Age which is free to play, the second one is Other Age Second Encounter which is available also available in steam and in their main store. The only relation of the game on the previous series, is that they are all parody dating sims, nothing more, nothing less. So you don't need to play the other games to in order to catch up in the story. Relationship-wise, this game has actually a little connection in the "Present" in Area-X. Hint: School Uniforms! As of now, I complete the whole game and I enjoy the experience Ratings: from highest to lowest. Characters (9/10) There is not a single character that I hate in this game, I love them all! But to be honest, I prefer the some characters over Manly, the protagonist. However, Manly's character traits blends well with everyone. To put it simply, Manly...

Very funny and cute. A great way to pass the time if you enjoy games where you have to manage your stats.

Interesting and silly so far, a nice goofy twist on Otome games character-wise. Play style it reminds me of Dandelion slightly because you can stat your character up in different ways and reduce stress, though with Cliche I'm not sure what the stats do yet as I'm only 20 out of 100 Days in. Not too much has happened yet but I"m entertained. So far I'd give it a 7/10 for creativity.

Barely a few minutes in and its already hilarious. 420/69 God is best girl lol.

Fun but stressful, there were times were I met stat requirements but didn't trigger an event due to not having done something on another characters' route, or times were I fulfilled requirements for an emblem and god didn't give it to me when I talked to him. Also despite there being a button to see previous lines, there were certain scenes were the up button stopped working completely/didn't work at all, and this wasn't a case of scrolling up too far, just like wanted to see one or two lines back and it happened repeatedly. Also it's really fucking long but there are so many endings to get and the replay value is minimal outside of specific character scenes.

Dev didn't reply my questions for clarification for type of gameplay, achievements, endings and estimated playtime on tumblr(I asked only yesterday evening(it's noon now), but considering the fact that the dev was online for a while after that, I admit to being a bit disappointed that the dev hasn't replied), so beware if you get technical issues or want a more thorough explanation/involved developer. Update: Dev replied me. They are working on a demo and a website now. Direct quote: There are 9 endings(with variation 15). Estimated time one playthrough is about 3-4 hours. I didn't experience any technical issues.....the gameplay just felt a bit, monotonous to me. I bought this because the other review mentioned finding this game funny after just a few minutes into the game....but I was a bit irked by the personality of Manly to be honest, another reason why it wasn't as fun as I expected it to be. It's just not my cup of tea. Try it out if you wish.

This game takes me back to my school days~ Where I would waste my free time playing flash dating sims on Newgrounds that play just like this. Raising stats, having to do it in one hundred days, and of course having different endings depending on the level of success or failure. Yes, I like this game~

It's a short, fun game. Stat raising wasn't too annoying, characters are fun and the story premise is my kind of absurd and chaotic. Art is good too. It's also pretty easy and relatively short - it took me under 20 hours to 100% it. In short, pretty good game to play if you're bored.
