Not really a point in playing a game that encourages "working together with others" when the game itself refuses to let me even connect to any of my friends, let alone a random lobby. "Failed to join lobby." "Failed to join lobby." "Failed to join lobby." "Failed to join lobby." "Failed to join lobby."

[WARNING: LIGHT SPOILERS]
The VN is very surprising by how it can escalate from flirting with girls, to tragic stories and horrid bad endings. I was so absorbed by the story that even the raunchy parts did not initially affect me. I will admit that sometimes with how precise the stats were needed, to the point where I used up all of the save slots three times over, to ponder over ever single choice I made.
I will disclaim that I have not discovered every secret yet, nor have I collected every hidden CG, and I somewhat wished there was a NG+ of some sorts after obtaining a true ending, so that I could carry my stats over to make it easier to collect all the missing content that slipped. However, seeing how well written all the characters are, how the dialogue wasn't smothered with smut language, and how relieved the game can make you feel when saving a character, is really powerful.
I've followed Sad Panda Studios ever since I discovered them around 2016 on Kongregate, and I will say reading this VN has made this one of my most beloved VNs. It kept me invested with every choice I made, made me suffer through choosing the right or wrong choices precisely, and bewildered me with how dark and tragic the story behind this lovey-dovey game had initially beheld.

Since there's no way to give it a 50-50, I'd have to just give it a negative, sadly.
The game's okay, but there are still situations where the game will crash for unspecified reasons, mechanics are still choppy, and overall nothing was really fixed after the "major" update.

The game has potential and the system is a good idea, but the game itself has so many bugs and glitches, and Hi-Rez doesn't seem to have any plans in fixing any of them. They just keep adding new characters and tweaking the game so that every character can essentially one-shot other players. It's basically a good idea with terrible execution.
