This rating is as of 0.1.1. I have completed just about all that it has to offer at this time. I see many issues some of which had softlocked me and it bothers me that no one can comment on the game at this time. Comments go a long ways to helping developers find their audience and better tune their games. That aside, I see many issues. Some of it is related to pacing but a primary one regarding the English script is how disjointed and inconsistent it is. Starting with names. I do not take too much issue with a majority of the cast however, one that did bother me was... "Jizz" at another point named "Jyzz". I am not so sure what the intent was but honestly it would've been better if her name was instead "Jazz" since it is short for Jasmine. I hope it gets sorted as the game develops. Onto the script at large... I do not know where to start. Chocolate... should be instead ice cream or chocolate ice cream as it gets correctly stated later. Then there's the "room" or rather the living room area on the first floor. It confusingly gets 3 different adjectives depending on what event you are interacting with. There are more but what takes me out of the experience are the few serious moments like with Jazz who talks about how her father died. I would wager it is much better said in Spanish by comparison but with how it is executed in English it loses that weight. I hope these get resolved with a good English Script editor to help make things a bit easier to read.
On the note of gameplay... it does get a bit grindy but it isn't the worst out there. What sucks are the events that you can unintentionally link while performing others. Notably when you are visiting the houses of other students and it goes into evening, sometimes you end up interacting with one of the sisters in the living area and are basically stuck. The only time I escaped a softlock was during an event where I could give Chocolate Ice Cream by using the F key, fast traveling between the Room and the College which somehow just worked finishing the night event. Other instances I had to reload an older save. I feel this issue could be resolved by having Tim instead teleport into his room rather than in the living room. Or simply have the events themselves be interacted with rather than automatic as seen in other instances. That way the player isn't trapped and stuck having to reload an older save or start a new game.
Lastly, while I do not know how much of the load times have improved, I feel the way the text loads is a bit too slow between events. Like the pauses feel a bit too sluggish which at times hurts some scenes more than others. It makes sense for a few instances like when the girls are flustered or just processing what's happening. But I do hope you can continue to work on this project. Some of the animations are at times funny a few could be better executed by having them be a bit more... instantaneous. Like when one of the Sisters are sneaking up on you, instead of 3 poses just use 1 to where she just appears suddenly and says "boo". Though in the script she says something else that... kind of communicates something similar.
For now it is very early with quite a decent bit of content to go through compared to a lot of other projects. It has a decently meaty start, it has some promise but I do hope the execution improves. For now it is 2 stars. This will change after a more significant release. Otherwise, I wish you the best of luck in making your game.
