I absolutely adore this game. It's 100% what a visual novel is supposed to be like. The only issue is I wish the options (skip, menu, etc) were further apart to stop accidental taps. This FREE-to-play game is better than most if not all pay-to-play games. I'm so tired of gems, crystals, diamonds or whatever to choose different options. Plus even if you bought diamonds on other games you STILL end up doing whatever they want you to do. Your 'choices' don't matter. YOUR CHOICES MATTER HERE!

A wonderful visual novel dating sim where you choose who to hang out with, where to eat, and when to study that takes place over a whole semester in college. Multiple endings, some are amazing, some average, and some so-so depending on what you do and how you interact with the many characters. Most importantly, no ads or energy mechanic, nothing to get in the way of you playing through the story at your pace. This was a complete joy to play through, I can't praise this story enough.

Pretty good story except for the foreign language stuff. Kind of a pain to have to go to a translate page to follow the story. Also, you get items throughout the game that are pointless. Waste of time to keep getting "you discovered X" when there is no use for them. Choices, when given, don't make a difference in the actual story.

The story can be immersive at times but is mostly just slow and dragging. I found myself constantly skipping until there was something to do. Overall though nothing really happens. I've played through a few times, making drastically different choices and always end up with the same outcome. This really causes it to lose replay value. The story itself is very short as well, it only takes you through one semester. Could've at least finished the first year.

i have been playing this game since i found it in 2020 on multiple different accounts and devices, i absolutely love it and highly recommend it there are many intreasting endings and such amazing visual story telling, i hope at some point there will be another game like this or even a second chapter that uses the same character but during work life, maybe with the addition of following specific endings. well done Bob!

Fantastic game. Like a good book, couldn't put it down. Really well written and executed. Only down side is that it feels disloyal to play through for a different ending and for the collection items now! (Despite having had to try a few times to get the ending I wanted). Would be nice to be able to skip back as well as forward to more easily try out different response options. --- Update: Okay the replay value leaves someone to be desired. Lots of samey sameness...

The app delivers exactly what it is advertising. The story is involving but a little repetitive. It's easy to get caught up in the freshman storyline, I only wish the main character was more developed even though he's purposefully left underdeveloped. Many conversations go by where the main character says next to nothing. I still find myself wanting to find out what's going to happen despite the same same events repeating over and over again. No ads (as far as I can tell) and smooth gameplay.

Me personally I love this game my only problem is that it only has one year in game of actually playing and the fact that your character can have a relationship with some of these characters is great until it gets to Adam in witch u only have 2 scenes of your relationship and that's it this game is great but it could be better if u guys were to add a sophomore, junior, and senior year other than that I wouldn't change it at all it's a complex yet compelling story love the bonus scenes too❤
