Reviews
One of the better English visual novels that avoids [i]some[/i] of the weirdness that might make standard translated visual novels unpalatable for some people. The characters initially reflect common tropes, but have a personal flair and reveal emotional depth. They're expressive and reactive to player choices. The dialogue isn't unwieldy, but relatively natural, humorous, and a little creative at times. It's a sci-fi slice of life mecha with humor and good characters. One of the few games where I've done multiple routes. As a friend said, "it made me laugh."
Last time I played this game was 3 years ago and since then it's still my favorite out of all VNs I came across. The story itself is entertaining, the soundtrack quite enjoyable and the mouse controls are really convenient. Although their other games are recommendable too, IMO Ace Academy is the best VN Pixel Fade created.

not very good but not terrible
From what I've seen in trying to pursue Mayu's route Kaori is not a tsundere, she's a toxic ♥♥♥♥♥. Story revolving around her completely ruined the experience for me
Para mim o jogo destaca pela maneira como consegue dar vida à história. O desenvolvimento é bem feito e acaba por te deixar ansioso por saber mais e mais. Existem algumas escolhas não impactam diretamente na história, elas mais dinamismo e imersão ao jogo. O toque de humor sutil e sem ofuscar a história foi a cereja do bolo. (eu amei todos os trocadilhos feitos) A dublagem é um dos grandes pontos altos do jogo. As vozes dos personagens trazem um nível extra de imersão. É difícil não se envolver com os diálogos e as interações! (As falas em francês da Valerie mexeram com meu coração haha) Falando em personagens, tem alguns excelente, outros bons, mas acima todo e qualquer outro, temos a Valerie, uma personagem que comecei odiando e terminei amando, pessoalmente, eu adoraria ver mais conteúdo sobre ela.
It's ok
Yes.

(Already finished this game before, ignore my time played) ✅ Surprisingly high production value for an indie VN ✅ Fully voiced main cast adds a lot of personality ✅ Characters are likable and the comedy actually lands ✅ Relationship routes feel natural and well‑paced ✅ UI, art, and CGs look polished and modern ✅ Easy to get into even if you’re not a big VN player ❌ Story is fun but not very deep ❌ Choices don’t drastically change the overall plot ❌ Mecha combat was awful ❌ Some scenes drag a bit depending on the route ❌ A few jokes miss, especially if you’re not into anime humor Sadly, the publisher has permanently pulled the plug for this game so you can't legally buy/play it anymore. I still would highly recommend it (assuming you enjoy VN) if you can play it some other way
+Fun, decently well written story. It's nothing special, but competent enough for a good play through or two. +Characters are typical archetypes but are written well enough to feel some level of attachment +I love how the love interests actually get into their own separate relationships if the MC doesn't pursue them. ~Ending definitely sets up the game for sequels that never came. -Some major disconnects in later chapters if you haven't gone on certain character's routes before. Like Mayu and MC suddenly forming a band or random Miguel person popping up with no introduction when helping Kaori out.
