Whimel Academy

An enjoyable, visually pleasing, cozy game. It starts off a little slow/tough, you aren't making much money and will find your character often tired, but stick with it. Develop your skills, meet interesting characters, and plan for many replays!

Pretty, gentle, cosy, but ultimately unfullfiling. This game is so chill, as far as I can tell you can't really 'lose'. Nothing dreadful happens if you slack off. You can make friends, indulge in hobbies, do a parttime job, or even attend class. You can decorate your room, your cat, and yourself. (And decorative items stay unlocked for future playthroughs, so you only need to earn/buy them once). This is the perfect game if you just want to chill out for a bit, and get hooked into a fun little gameplay loop. It's just... it needed MORE. Some kind of story. Or events. Or SOMETHING. The closest it gets is the NPCs you can befriend/romance. They all have stories, some of which are mildly compelling. But I played through once for the 'hermit' ending, not speaking to anyone, and there wasn't really much difference. If you become friends, they'll send you a letter after graduation. If you dated them, the letter will probably address you as 'my love' or similar. While you can achieve 30 endings, there's no graphic or cut-scene, you just click a crystal ball, it tells you all the endings you qualified for, and you can read the text that tells you what it was. It's not bad just... felt rather anti-climactic. A reasonably thorough playthrough can be done in around 6.5 hours (so a little over an hour per ingame year). If you want to rush through and not really speak to people, you're looking at 4-5 hours. It's an interesting little time waster if you enjoy the aesthetic and like time-management school sims. Just don't expect an epic story or moving relationships.

It's so fun and cute! The characters are so fun and I love the dialogue. However, it takes forever to level up any stats, so I wish that there were more parts of the day or that it didn't take as long to level up.

This is such a wholesome, relaxing game! There are a lot of customization options and academic paths to explore. I highly recommend it!

i absolutely adore this game. i love a cozy time management sim & the artwork is beautiful! i really enjoyed all the characters stories over the years.

还行，就是玩的太累了，后期基本每天都是几点一线，感情戏也比较慢，要有耐心

Very cute graphics, cozy and enjoyable game. However, it does become repetitive quite quickly. I wish there were more random events or extra things to do outside of socialize/study/class circle.

I absolutely love this game. I search for games just like this one, and they are hard to find. The art style is beautiful. Most people would find this game unexciting. It is a cozy game for me. You attend classes from year one to year six for four weeks. You don't have to attend all the classes. You steadily raise your stats each day. By raising your stats, you can approach five of the other students on campus, which are all romanceable. Each student has their own criteria on how to befriend and romance them. At the end of year six, you graduate. You receive letters from any of the students you befriended. I played this game so much and earned all the achievements. It's such a darling game. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone searching for a cozy game where you can play and relax.
