friendship simulator. its fine dont worry. dont worry about it

I want to love it, hell I want to like it. But I'm just conflicted. Overall, it has to be a 'no' from me.

Only one or two characters stand out, and the nonlinear story telling works against this game. By the time you've caught onto the gimmick, it's too late to care. There's virtually no replay value. Worst of all, though, every decision you want to have the ability to make is fixed for you. There's also virtually no portion that would count as a true dating sim, more of an implication.

It's not that there aren't /some/ enjoyable parts. Certain routes are told extremely well, the art is fun, and some dialogue options had me floored...but just because there are nuggets of gold doesn't mean the whole thing is a treasure. Particularly at the full price of $15. If it's ever on sale for $5 or less, shoot your shot, but keep your expectations low.
