High Times

I love this game. Its colorful and has my beloved Johnny so already 10/10. It filled the date everything sized hole in my soul!!

I'm a big fan of dating sims and cooking sims. This has both! The gameplay is simple but fun. The characters are all interesting and your character has some depth. Each non MC character has a VA, which is really enjoyable. You can tell a lot of love has been put into the game.

I'm really enjoying it so far and I'm surprised at how long it seems like it will be!

I have so many thoughts about this game. I started off feeling kind of meh about it. I didn't like the humour style. It was a bit too random and silly, like it was just meant to shock me rather than have any depth. For example, a cute girl coming out of the counter and talking about her 18+ furry drawings. That was another thing, I never played the demo, but I was not expecting the game to have so many adult jokes. Especially with such a cute art style (I also thought they were all teenagers at first LMAO). Other cons: I didn't like that out of the six love interests 2 of them were men and the other 4 were women, it makes it so someone who was interested in men only get two options in the game. All of the love interests (except a best friend) is an ex. I'm not a huge fan of the "second chance romance" trope, but you're forced into it because they're ALL exes. In almost all of the past relationships, you screwed up somehow. I didn't like being the one to have screwed up (without actually being there and making choices) and I personally believe ghosting people and not communicating is extremely rude, and this is what your character did to every single ex. Its brutal and kind of makes me feel like a horrible person. The game is EXTREMELY long. I normally wouldn't do this as a con, but having to serve three customers everyday and only one of them is a cut scene in a sea of a million cut scenes makes you have to do the same thing endlessly to get to the actual plot. I don't know how many more donuts I can possibly make. Then, I kept playing and playing, and I got to meet the characters and kind of formed an attachment to them. Like I said, the game is really long, so the more you play the more you get to know these people, and the more you want to know what happens to them. Pros: There is SO much plot and stuff to the game. There are 30 characters, they all have stories to them, with the romance-ables with much more plot. You get attached because these people feel real. Not only is there a lot of plot, there's also a fake facebook with lots of posts all the time. They aren't just generic posts, either. They're filled with references to real life shows, anime, news, and the devs actually had to draw a TON of more art for this facebook feed. It feels so real, and clearly shows a lot of love put into the game. Making the donuts is really fun, and I like that you get to choose (most of the time) how to influence the person's mood. It's like being a bartender, they tell you what they need, and you provide them something that they actually need to feel better. The fact that they have VOICE DIALOGUE for almost every single thing you make is so impressive. I keep imagining how many endless pages these voice actors had to do lines for because it really feels like endless amounts of dialogue. I also really like that at the end of the game its easy for you to go back and see all the options and replay the story. There are also easy skipping and fast forward features which is probably essential for such a long game. I'm really inclined to finish it, but there are SO many games out right now I'm not sure if I'll finish it now. I do definitely want to see what happens with all the love interests though! I cannot believe I still haven't met all 30 people. I've played SO many hours already. TL;DR: If you want to play a romance game that's like 100 hours of content and you don't mind that its only two men to choose from this could be one of your fav games! Finished? No Steam Achievements? There's 200 and some that don't even have a single person completing it yet. Steam Deck? The text is REALLY small. Rating? 8.5/10 My curator page: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45865425-CozyAriGames/ Full videos on Youtube

In a word: peak. Great cast, enjoyable gameplay, and a stellar story. Yet another banger in the YYM catalogue.

五位前任都解锁以后再更新一下~ 虽然这个价格过贵，但是所有角色包括不可攻略NPC都有配音也能看出来是大工程，加上一些动态漫画做得很可爱，还是原谅了。并且我看了一下几乎每个NPC的故事线都还挺丰富的，剧情里涵盖了各种当前流行的梗还有对AI的嘲讽，我好喜欢www 目前玩到第二十天，还没遇到其余两位可攻略女角色，但是第一轮估计先攻略Lucy了，实在是太可爱了，如同真人版Pinkie Pie......MC看起来有自己万正的个人故事背景所以完全是以第三视角心态玩的，怎么说呢我觉得每个前任都挺有自己特点的，包括一些NPC也是！目前非常喜欢Lily呀，那个口音真是每次都会忍不住停下来听完再点击下一句，社交媒体的页面做得非常精细，角色的每一条Post都非常符合角色的性格，社交媒体下的各种评论都很有梗，特别可爱呀。做甜甜圈其实也蛮有趣的，玩着玩着就稍微有些饿了...... 总体我觉得还是不错的，Harry这条线目前展开的是最多的，其实我还蛮吃傲娇前任这款的，尤其是他的配音和文本完美结合在一起，和MC之间那种纠葛感其实很有趣吧，但是我还是更好奇我的天降幼驯染Lucy的剧情啊！Lucy你太可爱了！等我推完Lucy再来补充评论。纵火犯前女友其实也是很有趣的一个角色，高中前任的配音实在是太可爱了，看了一下她的故事线貌似都是和自己的姐姐有关，导致我兴趣爆棚了。目前就是女前任没一个我不感兴趣的......232个成就我到底需要做多久啊！不过也能证明游戏的丰厚程度就是了

I've been following this games progress for years, even before the demo/game released, I was instantly taken with it and always kept up with the latest news. I enjoy how cozy the atmosphere is and all all the songs we get to choose from on the jukebox, I especially love the flavors and the amount of donut recipes there are and how we can experiment with flavors on our own when given the opportunity from customers! A few cons about this game though: some of the characters are overly obnoxious, loud (with fake high pitched voices that scratch the ears), and are second hand embarrassing (like Stacy, Paris, MJ, Lucy, Zoey, Kyle, Jojo, Tiffany, Harry (yes, especially harry, with some of his embarrassing remarks) and Emmette). Another thing I will mention is how the MC is incredibly irritating with constant indecisiveness, immaturity, and lack of seriousness/empathy, especially in moments where it was extremely inappropriate to crack jokes as if the MC just completely ignored what the other person said. Another thing that's upsetting is the fact our partner won't call us any pet name, not "babe" or anything while dating - it feels so awkward and almost like you aren't dating at all - that's also another issue, after you finish their cutscenes there are no more cute interactions whatsoever. One last thing I will mention, is the lack of male romanceable options - I would've loved to have an even ratio of female to male options, it upset me to see that isn't the case, BUT, the devs have implied that male romanceables will be added in the future if the game succeeds. So, would I recommend this game? Absolutely, it's a cozy and inviting game nonetheless, the devs were considerate to add the option to turn voices off and add a skip button if you weren't up to reading or just wanted to enjoy the music. The last thing that I'll add is; I AM excited for the future of this game, I absolutely love it despite the cons, and I'm 100% looking forward to more male romanceables (cough, cough, Cody) soon!
