It's not a bad game, I killed with it a couple of nights. The impressions are still positive, the project is completed.
The author is purely self-copying from a previous project. Everything is 1 in 1 - conspiracies, detective, useless guesses, tails, calls, a ton of dialogues about distrust (GRAPHOMANIA!!!), "don't poke your nose into someone else's question", approximately towards the end of the "suspense episode", where the villain reveals his plans, escalation and then ingenious deployment in just 1.5 the episode.
There are choices, but I still haven't figured out what they affect, other than the skip of certain girls. Except that you can catch a game over if you're overdo with it.
The girls are nice, although not everyone liked the endings. With the same Sophie, for example.
There were a couple of hints that you would be caught building a bunch of relationships at once, but it all came down to a joke and "well, we didn't say we were dating" and everything is fine.
I went through the game without seeing that one of the girls could be in a relationship (as in previous games), meaning a sister, not a childhood friend.
18+ scenes seemed to be less than in Shale Hill Secrets, but I wasn't upset. The models are pleasant, they didn't seem familiar. The disclosure of characters is a stretch (because, in fact, without consequences). There are animations, but rather for show.
Still, I love the author's projects. There's something about them. At least completeness. It's a rarity nowadays.
