Cute game. I don´t see a point to the store and the leveling up system since the game goes by so quickly and once you start a new one the ways you leveled up don´t stick with you...I have never been able to go through many of them. Maybe I´m just playing the game too quickly but it´s just the one thing I don´t like. Otherwise cute game with cute characters.

I've enjoyed playing this game. I think it's very cute and wholesome. If you don't force yourself to play it until you've 100% completed it, you might also enjoy it. I'm sorry if that sounds rude; I think sometimes people boycott their own fun because they want to be done with something as quick as possible. I don't think this game is meant to be rushed through. There is also the RNG factor for dates - you might...

This game is incredibly cute and heartfelt. Your job is to match the residents in your house and watch their relationships grow. I've played through it twice now and matched people differently each time. I didn't expect it to have as much replay value as it does, but every relationship really is a bit different and the storylines are fun to explore.
