Overpriced for what it is, even on sale
Review is for the all-ages version (no patch).
For those uninitiated into this kind of game, it's a visual novel about cute girls, and you get to date one of them.
Pick whichever one you like, and enjoy... maybe.
As for Amairo Chocolate specifically, in spite of the character profiles on the store page introducing 4 characters, there are only 2 dating routes - Chieri and Mikuri.
=> Mikuri
Having been the first route I picked, this one left a rather bad first impression, as the progression from strangers to lovers was rather choppy and disjointed.
Some of this you can clearly tell is owed to how rather awkwardly (and sometimes not fully) the suggestive/explicit scenes were removed from this route without providing an adequate replacement story-wise, though even outside of those cases, the progression was... way off.
As a result, Mikuri's route unfortunately fell flat.
=> Chieri
On the other hand, Chieri's route was a lot more standard, and the progression was perfectly reasonable. A story about a shy girl who learns to show her feelings, how nice.
She did show interest in the protagonist unusually quickly, but that is understandable given the relatively short playtime, and the need to fit the entire story into it.
In the end, Chieri's route was decent, but nothing exceptional by any means.
=> Verdict
With a playtime of ~2 hours for the common route (before choosing a girl), and ~3-4 for each of the routes themselves, you will get ~5 hours of play if you play one route, and ~9 hours if you play both.
Even on a 50% sale, you'd still end up paying more € than you get playtime, and considering one of the routes is quite a mess, I cannot recommend it for much above ~5€.
=> Why don't I go into more detail?
Blame GOG's character limit, I get just a few paragraphs to describe a ~10 hour game for some reason, and often need to remove large chunks to meet those requirements.
