Graphics. You can ignore a bad story if the art is good, but it's harder to ignore bad art, even if the story is good. At that point, you might as well be playing a text game.
If it's a light hearted game, I use Ugu~ because it makes it look like everyone is just saying Ugu~
If the MC is a dick though I just use the game's default
This game had so much going for it but it got caught in feature creep. Though it looks like it's going to be years before it finishes, I'll keep tabs on it
Badly thought out sandboxes because you can get stuck or miss scenes due to a random stat or event. Forced puzzles also suck: "Hey I know we're in the middle of a date but you need to do this sliding tile puzzle before we can move on to the next scene"
Haven't played this in a long time so looking forward to catching up.
Part of me doesn't want the grandma to be available cause it would be really funny
