I just finished chapter 3, so I'm going to give a description in parts.
1. The story: I liked seeing references to AF. The plot is very good, interesting, and very entertaining.
2. Gameplay: I liked the attention to detail in both the combat and administrative systems. It gave the player a very good immersion experience; it didn't feel like just observing and watching what happens.
3. The IL's system: For me, and I repeat, FOR ME, this is where it falls a little short. In my case, as a player who enjoys following a single path, having the game pair you with two seems like too much. As I've already made clear, I've played the developer's previous game, and at that point, I liked AF's system better. On the other hand, I didn't quite understand Cindy's relevance in the game. Is she the main IL's or a sidegirl?
I see a lot of potential in the game, and considering its previous story, I expect nothing less than something of the same caliber.
My score so far: 4/5
