Overall a really nice sandbox renpy game, but unfortunately still full of exception errors, general bugs, and missing translations making a portion of text still left in cyrillic so portions of text are impossible to read unless you somehow understand and know how to read it. Many of the systems employed in the game do give it quite a bit of depth but the tutorial/hint system throws walls of text at the player that say so much, but also so little about how it all interacts with each other. I get confusing systems that can be mastered and allow for a massive variety of playstyle and I would love for more games to have such, but with the effects of actions being rather obscure as well as the relationship levels of the characters being fairly confusing I feel it still needs lots of work. Having a character with 100+ relationship points and 100 romance points sending nudes through the in game phone system but receiving a pic themselves to give a very hostile response is sending very mixed messages. (I have discovered the NPC I was interacting with and getting this issue was "in a relationship" and I do not have NTR enabled which would of allowed these actions but do not want. Relationship status of NPC's isn't the most clear sometimes)
With the depth of the systems there does get to be an issue with the scene change times (like load times) where it can take a second or two when going through the menus which make the game feels laggy, this is especially so when interacting with the computer as exiting the computer interface has a couple second delay for an exit tone that if your sound is quiet/off you don't really hear and feels like the game is frozen during that time.
Overall it may be a bit too ambitious for renpy and could get more value from being redone in another game engine for better stability with the scope of the project. I do understand that doing so would pretty much be a complete project reset and would take a long time to rebuild doing so which makes it not an appealing option but if such an operation is done I would be happy to throw some of my money at it to see it done.
I really wish to give a much better rating to it to help it stand out in the sea of the copy and paste renpy slop people throw out there with the generic 3d character models and extremely linear storylines but with many of its issues stemming from the game engine, confusing depth, and near game breaking issues from the renpy engine I cannot in good conscious to myself rate it any higher than I have. I do really wish to see this game in a state of fluid gameplay with minimal issues and become the best possible adult renpy sandbox game.
