Pretty cute. Needs more balancing options definitely but it is appealing to those of you who like business management games.

Yes yes yes yes YES~!!!!!

Give us an option to make the SWAT AI shut the ♥♥♥♥ up already. Their shouting keeps giving our position away.

I wish Capcom continued to make cheesy ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dialogue like they did with this game in future installments, no dice so far.

Release the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game already.

"Buy some friends before you buy this game"

This game is the epitome of the perfect dating sim. It functions as a half VN half Match-3, and where in most cases it'd be overwhelmingly boring to even bother with the minigame, in this case it's pretty well thought-out, and gives you enough leeway to succeed. Upgrading your stats doesn't take a whole lot of effort neither, but still further encourages players to go on dates with the other girls, since it'd be easier to 'win', though one could still 'solo' someone exclusively, if that's more your thing.
So the gameplay is never exhausting and even engaging, even for someone who isn't interested in the match-3 style of it.

Moving on to the characters, there's only a few dating sims where the majority of the cast even manages to come across as this unique and or engaging in spite of them being vehement Visual Novel stereotypes (intentionally on the dev's part), but it's done very well. Moreover:
1. The dialogue itself is never dragged on for longer than it should, it's very straight to the point and while that's NOT always a good thing, it works extremely well in the case of this cast. Not to mention the amazing (yet arguably cheesy on occasion) voice acting from the voice actresses.
2. Not to say this needed to be mentioned but the character designs are very appealing. and it accompanies the voices that come with them very well.

On that note I'd like to talk about the game's atmosphere and I'll keep this short, it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing. And for reasons you might not be expecting, it's not like there's any narration done explaining in detail the environment, the music, alongside the simplistic background is all you're getting and it works so well. Not to mention the music is amazing.
Overall, the game's a GREAT time sink (and even then it doesn't take a whole lot of time) even if you aren't really interested in the genre. And moreso for the hardcore audience.

No Vergil trade card? Really Capcom?

A unique brilliantly designed game that doesn't overstay it's welcome??
YES YES YES YES YES!
In all seriousness the game taking 4 hours or less to finish is one of it's best qualities.
(Please release the DLC I'm begging you.)

Honestly, not bad.
