I liked Now and Then better. But this is not a bad game, it surely is different from the previous game and I am not a big fan of the independent stories. Still good and will continue playing.
I hate that I cannot play all the scenes in the update before "The End" screen comes. I'm worried what happens to girls with whom I'm lagging behind. For example, Saaya, I don't think I played her scene in the previous update and I didn't get chance to play it this time either before end came.
I start by saying that I really liked the developer's last game.
I'm also usually someone who plays slow burn games but here I struggle to go beyond the first 30 mins of reading.
I'm sorry but the start is horrible, boring, not enticing. I suppose the story might get better after a while but man the struggle to go further is real.
I'd suggest a remake of the first minutes of the story and add more rythm to the narration.
Like many of you, I really enjoyed the dev's previous game (Now and Then) and tried this one several times, but unfortunately I just couldn't get into it. I'm looking forward to the next game though.
