What players say
Got this game on sale. Enjoyed it, but i do wish that it continued beyond freshman year. Hope that more years will be added in the future.
As someone who likes romance in my video games, but not in a way that is painfully overindulgent, this game was a somewhat nice surprise. Don't get me wrong- the romance is a big focus but I really liked how dark it could get and the school/gameplay mechanics. Like other dating sims, you're given a class schedule and get to choose what classes to attend which impacts your stats and abilities. These can be used...
first played this when I was 13 and I can still remember how much I liked Damien- replaying this so much older and I still think the dialogue for his route is SO GOOD. the angst... olivia wilde nod. overall, I think this dating sim holds up fairly well! it's fun and the mechanics of choosing classes for the week/exams aren't too hard.
