High Times - Dating/Cooking Sim

why are they all exes? why can't i romance the much more likable npcs? theyre exes for a reason! i like harry and the best friend and that's about it. also the donut making mechanic is really boring it should've been fleshed out a lot more. just not really what i expected. neither aspect of simulation is all that good. i refunded especially after seeing how long each route is. the characters are not likeable enough for me to sit through all that. even the player character gets on my nerves.

I LOVE HARRY YEN SO MUCH 😞😞😞😞😞

Dunno why people are complaining about the whole ex thing since the whole IDEA of the story is that we are learning to move past our character's emotional baggage/unhealthy coping mechanisms. I like this game, though it is a bit rough around the edges. Good things: - super stylized, fun art with rewarding comic book style cut scenes in place of your typical visual novel cgs - fully voice acted by a pretty good cast (though they can get grating because lots of them are SO intense and cartoonish 110% of them) - some genuinely interesting storylines and a decent mix of funny/silly with serious - the donut making system is not bad and decently fun, even if just a touch buggy sometimes (looking at you, powdered sugar...) Bad things: - repeat customers that don't move their stories forward are insanely common, cannot be skipped and are tedious at best and STUPIDLY annoying at worst. We NEED the ability to skip these customers, after 25 hours, I have no desire to deal with them. Especially if their story needs to wait on another character, just prevent them from appearing until the condition is met. I am not joking when Dexie came in asking for a Creampie around 50 times while I was w…

If you're a fan of similar games like the Coffee Talk series and VA11-HALLA then this game definitely fulfills a similar hole left by those two games in terms of having characters you get to know and see their stories unfold. One big difference (good and bad) is that there's a lot more characters with a lot more individual stories you get to see, which is fun, especially for any characters you like the most (though certainly some characters can be more grating than others) and it has VA which is cool too. However, one warning, I fully thought this game would take at most 20-30 hours, but in trying to at least see every character's full story arcs once, its taking a lot longer than I thought it would, and has dragged a little bit with the repetitive nature of the gameplay that is making donuts. To be fair there is a good amount of variety in the donuts and the various flavours and combinations that it extends the amount of days this game stays interesting. But be warned it may get stale (pun intended) after a while. Overall I would recommend giving it a try if you like these sorts of games. Also forgot to mention, not sure if this is just with my system and using a laptop suscepti…

after 36 hours of playtime in just three days, i can say this: it DEFINITELY has its' quirks, and i'll talk about them below, but for a $20 game (especially in today's market) it has given me TONS of enjoyable hours. i LOVE the deeply complex narratives that each character has, even the non-romanceable folks, even if their initial personalities are loud or "stereotypical". for someone who is always worried about being too much, this game really does make you feel at home. and from a gameplay standpoint, i just thoroughly enjoy the game mechanics. it runs perfectly on my bottlenecked system, the donut assembly isn't so easy that you get bored right off the bat, but not so hard that it's punishing if you rush a bit. i'll be honest, i use a drawing tablet to expedite the process, but that's mostly skill issue... HOWEVER, i do have a complaint... pacing. i really like games that take a longer time to arrive at their narratives so i don't mind slower games. but this one tries to make each night feel short while also trying to achieve some really good slow-burn at the same time... for SIX ROMANCEABLE CHARACTERS... at the SAME TIME. and about 30 more people. it's a bit much. for …

Walked into this without any expectations. BUT MAN was I blown away. I had an amazing time. The characters are great. The dialogue is funny, and quippy. The voice actors, *chefs kiss*. I only wish there were more romanceables, though Connor already took my heart on Day 1. I appreciate that it's a slowburn too, I only got to Day 14, and the romances didn't feel rushed. (even though I wanted to speedrun my Connor romance). Highly recommend. Dating sim. Great art. VOICED?! Where do you find a high quality dating sim that is voiced at this price? Not many places, but this is definitely one of them.
