Story is on good side, considered very good for this type of game. The combat feel like an actual gameplay with some option for skill and equipment. The 3 main characters is very well-designed. Viewing Skit often make me smile. For the H-content the art is goods and contains a lot of variety and fetishes. This game is a very solid game even without the H-content. I would recommend you to play it just for the story and gameplay are worth the price, H-scenes are just freebie.

Nice Story, lacking H. Game can have an actual difficulty that can be mitigated by crafting every chapter if you play at hard mode or harder so that's a plus. 6/10, don't regret it.

Time travel story, good even without the H. SFW mode an be toggled in options. 28h to finish, cleared most of the bosses. There's NG+. H scenes are poor – it's the usual visual novel, but without auto mode. Virgin clear gives a bonus late-game. 100% gallery unlock is available as an option late-game.

pretty good games. but focused storyline too much. it's an RPG games.
