NextLevelPerv rated Growth Academy

NextLevelPerv rated a visual novel 32 days ago
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

The game features characters that serve as the embodiment of a series of growth related fetishes, and takes those fetishes very seriously as it explores how people might feel about their bodies growing so much that (in some cases) they are severely inconvenienced by their growth.

The biggest downside to this VN is the length. The girls' physical growth takes an extremely long time to occur, and with how seriously the writers take the topic, the player has to go through sometimes an insane amount of dialogue and scenarios before growth occurs. 

The girls have 6 stages of growth, and I've attempted to go through two separate routes. In Aida's, I went through nearly 50 events, and she hadn't even advanced to the 4th growth stage. The writing was great, but I started to get annoyed sitting through so many scenes. I gave up and swapped to a different girl, wanting to see if it was just as bad elsewhere in the game.

Alice's route went through nearly 80 events before the girls advanced to the 5th stage of growth, and that was with me skimming the scenes to see how long it took for growth to happen. By the time I got that far, I had nearly 15 hours in the game across the two routes. The VN could benefit from being like 3/4th of the length.

The only people who would play this game are expansion fetishists, and the game takes itself a little too seriously. This is unironically a fetish VN where the fetish isn't the point.

I wanted to rate this 3 stars,  but ultimately I can still acknowledge that it's well thought out with a quality writer, and it still feels like a finished game despite some scenes that are still placeholders. I'm still glad it exists, even if playing for the fetish is frustrating for me.
