Very thin on mechanics
The presentation is pretty good, and the gameplay loop is a huge improvement over their previous game (My Lovely Daughter). But it's not very fun. It's easy to optimize the game, and if you value your time you will, since all you do between purchases (of one kind or another) is wait for resources to accrue. The conversations are unclear as to what is and isn't an appropriate answer, and they're divorced from the gameplay proper. The daily loop is to gather resources, have a chat, maybe spend resources, then repeat. The chats may affect the end game, but not the resource loop. The resource loop doesn't affect the ending or story. These are simple, disjoint systems put together into an interesting but not terribly fun game. It can take a long time to 100% everything, but pursuing 42 (I think) different endings with barely any change isn't for me. I kinda wish I could give it three and half stars, but it's ultimately forgettable and it brings nothing new to the genre, or overlapping genres. However, it's graphically very nice, and it's a polished game. The developers are obviously developing with passion and are improving, but I would only recommend this if you wanted to support an upcoming dev team rather than expecting a great game.
Is this helpful to you?
