ttepes rated Freshmen: Physical Education

ttepes rated a game 158 days ago
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Hands down my favourite visual novel. There's a clear care for quality in character design & personality, as well as the story itself. Riley, Matt, and Marco are my favourite main characters for sure, with Riley taking the lead by a long shot honestly, but interacting with every character certainly has its perks.

The amount of choice in this VN is ambitious but allows me to replay it plenty of times so it still feels fresh. Even if there's a specific path I want to go down, there are plenty of ways to get to it with different dialogue so it's fun to replay to find new paths that reach the same destination. Although I've replayed the VN and discovered basically every path myself, the usefulness of the relationship guide can't be understated. The attention to detail in its presentation is great and it serves as a reminder for getting to moments that I really enjoy. It's also really interesting to read about the hidden mechanics of the game regarding relationship levels and the impacts my choices have. So yeah, super recommend getting the guide too. 

The CGs are amazing at highlighting hot, key parts of the story, and although choices are currently limited, the Grind'm scenarios are really good for a fun time. In my own experience, I spent a long time getting all the Trevor CGs because of the amount of choices but I'm not complaining because the scenario and visuals are great. It's evident that just as much love and attention has gone into the making of them, despite it being a kinda like an optional, side quest and not necessarily canon to the main story if you don't want it to be.

Overall, a 5/5 VN. Only downside is that I discovered it too soon and it isn't finished yet but I'm more than happy waiting for updates because I know it'll be worth the wait!
