The game wasn't good. Pacing issues and art inconsistencies.10 found this helpful
You can tell effort was put into this game. It is a true otome and having several paths and different endings is nice. Just like many other games in the genre, there are some cringe moments that pop up (for example, some of the dialogue, jokes and even the constant grinder/cheater dialogue in the composer route got old a bit fast). I played the demo months ago and did know what to expect and didn't see too-too much change in the prologue portion but appreciated all the different routes/endings. I wish the routes were a bit longer (greedy) but it is exciting the game is fully out and I will always support solo/small team devs.3 found this helpful

Goodsssss!1 found this helpful
I really enjoyed this game so far. I can easily see my own personality in the lead character and love the ways she interacts with the guys. Having a rivalry with another dev team that has its own cast of interesting characters made me feel well vested in the story. I really want to see how this game will come to an end and am not sure if im more focused on making the game of my dreams or getting to know any of the guys better more. I was brought in by the demo, and loved it so much that I made sure to back it on Kickstarter. I'm pleased with the final project, and cant wait to play it even more.1 found this helpful
