Nicole

I just finished it and I feel disappointed to end the game. I liked the story of each guy, even if in my opinion the culprit was a little too obvious, but it was pleasant to play it anyway, . I can't say I have a definite crush on one guy in particular, they were all well made (good points, bad points, all different but so cute and appealing in their own ways (´♡‿♡`) ) or maybe a little more for Darren, like Nicole point it out, he can be sooo cute and witty (⁄ ⁄ ⁄>⁄ _ ⁄<⁄ ⁄ ⁄) . If I had one thing I find that was sad it will be about the CGs. They're only on the endings (so two CGs per character for their two endings - Normal/Special) and we can't see them without play the endings again. The Achievements was pretty easy, the jobs unlock on their own, and you just have to play wisely to unlock the two endings on each path with the guy in one party.

This game disappointed me. For starters, the dialogue was TERRIBLE. The main character strikes me as a teenager girl's idea of what a college-aged California girl trope would sound like without having knowledge of college, or California, and quite possibly women. It's super cringe. The men aren't any better. The titular character is also super dumb. She walks into situations that are obviously unsafe, deletes evidence, and doesn't even really say anything to her friends. I get that some people really do keep creepy online messages to themselves but I draw the line at going to investigate a creepy abandoned building for the person you think is abducting women your age, at your university, alone, after nightfall. Terrible writing aside, the gameplay is monotonous and lengthy. It's also not clear from the beginning that you really should only bank points in the stat of the character you want to romance and the mystery. The rest of the stats don't matter on any given playthrough. The mystery itself is also weak. The villain can be identified easily very early on the the reveal is underwhelming. I was cursorily interested in the other endings but I ended up only having the fortitude to do a couple of them before wondering why I was wasting my time. I wasn't even reading the dialogue. TL;DR - The writing is weak and the gameplay uninteresting. All the characters were tropey but it might be fun if you're into unrealistic one-dimensional caricatures.

DONT BUY IT!!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU DO CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! Absolutely not worth it at all. You wanna play? Wait till its on sale for $5 or something cuz thats all its worth. I wasted 8 hours playing this game got my maxed out clues at 999, and my wit at 734 as I went after jeff. I found out I got the bad ending after 111 days and I was like ARE YOU SERIOUS??? All that dedication zip nothing. The ending doesn't even reveal who it is like fr I had to look it up. Only after looking it up did I realize ah crap I went after the actual person that was abducting people, the signs were there and I kind of knew it was him. Still though I'm salty not even 700 wit equals a normal ending, like how are you supposed to receive a good ending then? Sh@t it out of your booty hole? Honestly thats what this game is, the place where I sh@t in the park.

I really enjoyed this game, it is a thriller/mystery otome/visual novel. I found it very intriguing and interesting trying to piece together what was happening and enjoying the variety of characters. it's been a little while since I played it but I realised I never reviewed it. It was the first otome or visual novel that I played that had some kind of system where you need to level stats by doing certain activities so that took some getting used to but it was a lot of fun! PROS: - Thriller / mystery otome visual novel - Multiple love interests and multiple endings - Nice CGs, sprites and BGs - MC has personality - Interesting and unique Love Interests CONS: - Stat raising - it can be a bit hard if you aren't used to it.

Un de mes premiers otome game ! J'ai joué à Nicole il y a quelques années et je viens d'y rejoué avec plaisir ! Un de mes otome game préféré ! Niveau langue : l'anglais me faisait peur surtout la première fois que j'y ai joué, j'ai du chercher plusieurs mots de vocabulaire et il y a quelques petits passages avec Jeff et Ted que j'ai encore du mal à comprendre.. Mais en y rejouant je n'avais plus autant de mal (merci les cours d'anglais à l'école !) et j'ai beaucoup appris. Niveau histoire : du mystère mais surtout de l'amour avec des personnages intéressants et pas du tout cliché ! Mon favorie : Kurt...parce que KURT quoi ! Mais même si ce n'est pas ma préféré je trouve l'histoire avec Jeff plus intéressante car plus complexe ;) Niveau difficulté : j'ai pas mal galéré pour avoir les specials ending (surtout celui de Kurt) donc n'hésitez pas à regarder le guide walkthrought steam si vous avez beaucoup de mal. En bref un très bon otome game et si vous hésitez à l'acheter (surtout pas peur de l'anglais), il y a une démo disponible sur le site des développeurs (Winter Wolves).

I really enjoyed this game. I've only finished Ted's route so far and gotten 3 endings, (very bad, ted normal and ted special) but I have to say its very hard to fault! The story was gripping; both the dating side and the mystery side were well balenced and intriguing. I found myself finishing it in one sitting I just couldn't quit Ted's southern charm! SAVE ALL THE TIME! especially in december, it makes it easier to go back and finish things before the 20th when stuff gets serious! Overall an awesome game that I can't wait to play more of!

Nicole is a mixed bag that ultimately wins you over despite its flaws — the romance routes are genuinely charming, with well-written characters whose relationships with Nicole develop naturally and feel earned, even if they lean hard into familiar tropes like the jock, the shy guy, and the bookworm. The artwork is lovely and the writing quality is surprisingly strong for an OELVN, with minimal typos and distinct character voices. That said, the stat-raising gameplay is brutally tedious: you'll spend long stretches clicking through the same activities day after day with no flavor text to break the monotony, and the mystery is so transparent you'll likely identify the culprit the moment you meet all four guys. If you can stomach the grind and go in expecting a romance game first and a mystery game never, there's genuine warmth here — just wait for a sale before picking it up.
