What players say
Played it once. Answered every question honestly. Got the nice girl I wanted (Saffron). No complaints. Won't play again. Acting is very good/realistic. Would love to have that dude as my guy friend.
A very enjoyable game with an easy-going atmosphere. Very likable characters. A realistic storyline. An interesting concept. Each of the girls is attractive in her own way; she has her own charm and unique personality. The conversations are natural, often very funny, and spontaneous. The dialogue flows smoothly, and the interactions feel honest, authentic, and believable. If you're observant, you'll either...
If you're a dude who struggles to talk to girls, I think there's actual real good advice in there because the scenarios are really realistic. The five girls have different personalities. Only reason I would recommend it really. As a video game, it's nothing much, it's a series of youtube videos shot in the pandemic, extremely dated, you have short interaction with a few girls and it ends in less than 20 minutes...
