Starts off promising enough, with unexpectedly decent pre-rendered 3D graphic and surprisingly good and healthy relationship between the protagonist and his father, although the initial impression is somewhat dampened by overly loud music that sounds very stock. There are a couple of mini-games, one of which (the "fighter") is very simplistic and pretty easy, and the other (the sliding puzzle) I've always been terrible at. The gameplay is non-existent, it's just a bunch of static images and copious walls of text with sporadic choices that may or may not influence the narrative, I don't know. Overall, the first episode is pretty solid. Until the very end, at which point it turns stupid, and when episode 2 begins, the "game" becomes mean for the sake of being mean. The worst part is that the protagonist is put in an extremely humiliating situation in order to be forced to join the titular student group against his - and mine - will, but no, there is no choice in the matter. Sorry, but I *hate* this. And for reasons beyond human understanding, the protagonist doesn't seem to mind this at all and just stays friends with the characters who treated him so horribly. Additionally, the - needlessly numerous - characters just never stop talking, taking 100 words to say something that could only take 10. After a while I stopped caring and just clicked it through without reading, only checking the log when a choice came up. And speaking of choices, often times they are between two bad options, of which I want neither. I ended up uninstalling this "game" after finishing episode 2 - I just didn't care to waste any more of my time on something this unpleasant and boring.
