While it was unusual with the way the characters interacted with each other like they are in kindergarten despite being in university. Once you get used to it getting unlocking all the achievements (including the secret true ending), it all goes full circle in the end with the premise of 0.5% of the entire population having seemingly useless power they can only use safely once a day, for example, being able to hold your breath underwater for an extra 5 seconds or being able to create a spark. Surprisingly, the powers made a prevalent impact on the story, and I'm glad it did because I didn't know what the point was in introducing the concept. Obviously, the way the character speaks and potentially the simplistic artstyle aren't for everyone. I, for one, don't normally play a visual novel like this, but somehow the game managed to hook me in til the end. I didn't expect to like it as much as a romance story, but here we are. The a few other things I like about 0.5% are the way it plays around with the size of the text, the funny dialogue of being obsessed with something specific and the character development. If you like a slow burn, as in you'll need to find multiple endings and a…

Lovely little visual novel, especially for free. The characters are great and the dialogue and interaction between them is so sweet. I highly recommend looking at the guide before playing through as there are 3 endings to get and getting the 3rd plus the other achievements will be a struggle unless you know what you're looking for. Its like a mini hidden object game to get to it. By the end of my 3rd, and final, go I really started to wonder if time travel had been used more than twice by Tai

While I may have sped through it using an auto clicker, the artwork and the parts of the story I read is really enticing. Where one of them can go back in time, and their is different choices and hidden objectives that add a little more to the story. I will be coming back to read through the interesting story behind it.

Amazing game. Every aspect of it has some sort of meaning. If you genuinely want to enjoy this game, do NOT skim through it. It may take a while to figure out how to actually get all the achievements, but that's just the point. As the developer, Acetate123 even says, "Road to gentleman shouldn't be easy after all." Overall, I had no issues with it at all. Please give it a try. Side note: I tried this game on it's release date on a different account, that's why I speedran it

✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works fine (21/08/2026). 'A' button to advance text and touchscreen for menu and choices. It's a sweet idea but the interactions between the characters feel too forced and awkward at times.

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
