Es una pena que no me haya enganchado, si bien la temática me interesa y el diseño de los personajes es bonito, el fondo de lo que es el propio escenario está muy difuminado, lo cual le resta mucho a mi juicio, además las interacciones me han parecido bastante genéricas. Es la primera VN que dropeo, una auténtica lástima. Lo único bueno que se le puede sacar es que es gratuita.
As someone who doesn't play many visual novels, this game was a pleasant surprise. The fact that it's free makes it even more impressive. It's truly a hidden gem among the sea of free-to-play anime games on Steam. It’s better if you play this completely blind, no looking at guides or reviews. It's not just a visual novel, either. It's also a 3D exploration game with visual novel elements. In the latter half, [spoiler]you'll even have to solve a mystery.[/spoiler] It encourages you to pay attention to every detail and every line of dialogue. Even after finishing it, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface because there are so many dialogue options and interactions to discover. The world itself is reminiscent of older-era video games. It gives me a sense of nostalgia while constantly pushing me to explore further. I also want to talk about the music, which fits the setting perfectly. There are plenty of tracks for different situations, mini-games, and events, and they all help bring the world to life. You can buy the OST on Steam if you really like it. The characters are, dare I say, somewhat predictable and generic. Yet somehow, you grow attached to all of them. Yes, even the old man. And yes, even the [spoiler]"big bad" at the end of the story.[/spoiler] That said, the game isn't without flaws. When you start, it loads very slowly. When you play, it uses a surprising amount of CPU power and makes my device run quite hot. The game is also missing one feature that feels essential for a visual novel: a load button. Having to close and restart the game just to revisit a choice is inconvenient when a simple load option would solve the problem. I also encountered a minor bug on the save screen where [spoiler]Chloe's[/spoiler] icon appears in a save file [spoiler]when she is supposed to be gone.[/spoiler] Another one is when I finished Akari’s side story on Act 2. When she greeted me in the maid cafe, her expression was always looking sad, [spoiler]which I cannot change for the rest of the investigation phase in weeks 8 and 9.[/spoiler] There are still more things I want to say about the game, but this review is already getting too long. Overall, as I said at the beginning, this game is a hidden gem.

I found this game in the free section of Steam one day and all I say is that I'm glad that I have played it. I really enjoyed my time the base game and the DLC, with the base game being full of fun and heart-warming moments with the game development club whilst the DLC leans into a more personal and serious tone. The side stories are filled with many enjoyable elements too while providing some lore of the game. Technical questions relating to programming, art and music are asked in the game during the morning classroom segments, which are very game dev-related questions. I'm excited to see and play the sequel to this game from the developers one day and that I think more people should consider giving it a go. P.S I find Amelia adorable and my favourite ♥ - design-wise and personality-wise.
прикольный визуал арты девушек тож зачет но даниэль соло, тут и думать не нужно кого выбирать
Bu oyundaki bütün karakterler kafayı sıyırmış.Zaman önemli ve bu oyunun hakettiğini düşünmüyorum.
Визуальная новелла с элементами симулятора жизни и тайм‑менеджмента. Игрок берёт на себя роль старшеклассника, мечтающего стать разработчиком игр. Нужно балансировать между учёбой, общением с друзьями, хобби и первыми шагами в геймдеве. Сюжет развивается в зависимости от выборов: можно углубиться в программирование, сосредоточиться на дизайне, завести романтические отношения или просто наслаждаться последним годом школы. Плюсы: вариативность сюжета — решения влияют на карьеру, отношения и финал истории; живые персонажи — у каждого своя предыстория и характер, развитие отношений ощущается естественно; сочетание жанров — микс визуальной новеллы, симулятора жизни и мини‑игр про разработку даёт разнообразие в геймплее. Минусы: медленный старт — первые часы посвящены знакомству с окружением, динамика нарастает не сразу; ограниченная интерактивность — большая часть геймплея сводится к чтению диалогов и выбору вариантов; технические недочёты — редкие баги и нестабильность интерфейса могут прерывать погружение. Итог: игра понравится поклонникам визуальных новелл и историй про взросление — она позволяет прожить последний школьный год с возможностью попробовать себя в геймдеве и построить отношения. Подойдёт тем, кто ценит личные истории, выбор с последствиями и атмосферу юности. Может не устроить ищущих экшен, хардкорный симулятор разработки или мгновенный геймплейный драйв без фокуса на диалогах и нарративе.

i like it
Beautiful game, hidden gem and everything. I thought that the true ending was rather unexpected, but that's my only "complaint" if it can even be called that. It's really a wonderful experience playing this game: the soundtrack, the charming visuals, the mechanics, the characters, are all amazing. The game story was so immerse, fun, and put together; like there are times it can be funny then shockingly unsettling in the span of a second. Like, the game itself has this simplistic feel to it in its everything: text, sprites, and images; yet, the depth surrounding the simplicity is astounding. This game is a refined piece of work and that fact is shown throughout the whole experience. I would say to buy this game as well as the DLC; but it's free, so there is no reason not to play it.
