What players say

If you want to read a bog standard moege that isn't very long and is very cheap you should definitely try Kamiyaba To sum it up: - This game has essentially no story (like none at all), boiling down to just fluff and romance that aren't very long (4 main routes and 2 side routes that should take you ~30 hours to read). So don't let that "destiny count" gimmick make you think there'd be some kind of substantial plot...

It's pretty good. Requires a patch for 18+ content, but that's nothing new for Shiravune as well as many Japanese Dev's. People just need to stop complaining about this, as I"m pretty sure it's Valve's end that forces them to do this. Anyways, Its a recommend, perhaps more so on sale, as it's a fairly generic premise of "A wish makes Protag-kun's life compeletly opposite of the virgin existence he was living in...

DNF. I'm sure the game is perfectly fine if you're looking for a short visual novel with cute girls and don't care too much about the story itself. However the localization is butchered beyond belief, it's one thing to take creative liberties, it's another to replace Ojou-sama with the characters first name, it creates a completely different hierarchy between them. And then we have the whole Onii-chan being replaced...
