You really left me wanting more! I've got to admit, I thought the story would continue a bit longer after the sexy times. 10k words is less than I thought.

Nice to see the "arrangement" part of the sugar daddy arrangement. That part felt realistic. Excellent writing.

I must concur with the comment that the art style change between the key art and the sprite was jarring. I came for the man on the box. I got a completely different man. Both art styles are beautiful on their own, but they do not go together in the same product. It might've been better if it was at the very least, another anime artstyle. Ah well. Free game, can't complain too much.

Overall a fun romp!

I've played all the routes. 

Well, what can I say...this game works for its intentions. If you're looking for a game that's low stakes and mostly fluff, this is for you.

Michael and the MC had the most interesting dynamic. He's the hottest character in the game, so...woohoo! At the time of writing this, some of Michael's CGs seem to be placeholder images. But I liked what I saw.

Jade's route is my personal favourite. Her struggle with employment in her field was written very sympathetically and her passion for her old role felt realistic.

I'm not into Jordan, simpy types don't do it for me. 

I skipped the minigames. While I love a bit of gameplay in ADV, there is little point to them if they don't affect the narrative in any way. A small reward for completing them without using auto-complete would've been nice, even just an extra line of dialog. 

Overall a nice snack of a game.

This is a great game, and despite playing it out of season, the Christmas element wasn't super strong so it didn't detract from the experience.

I love in otome ADVs when both protagonists are working adults. Spicy times at the break room? Mmm...very good...

I knew going into this that both protagonists are Asian and I could feel that through the writing and characterisation.

My one complaint is that Harold always, always looks tired even during romantic scenes due to the pose he is in. An extra sprite would've gone a long way.

Overall, very excited for the sequel.

Wow. This was a ride, in a good way. 

I'll start with the pros. This ADV is really good for its price. Styx being a tan boy was what drew me in. I enjoyed his personality and dynamic with Pomme greatly, and seeing them bond. His sprite work and CG were...yum. Would've liked a bit more private parts showing as this was advertised as an 18+ game but personal preference.

Pomme (I don't change MC's name in ADVs) had a personality that worked well for the situation. I like my headstrong MCs but if she was written that way here, the story wouldn't have worked.

This ADV also made use of scene direction beyond the RenPy defaults a lot of western ADVs over rely on. 

And for the cons. The biggest issue was the portrayal of the Knight. What he did to Pomme was more mild than what Styx did. Yet the Knight is overwhelmingly portrayed as the antagonist in the narrative. Ultimately that hurt the impact of the conflict.

The normal ending was harder to get than the best ending. This has apparently been rectified, but my review is based on the build I played.

Please note this is all personal opinion.

I went into this blind, wasn't sure what to expect.

Definitely more of a juvenile title compared to Teachers. The story seems to take place entirely in the same room. I was waiting for them to leave that room but it didn't happen.

The clicking game was more tedious than fun.

As for the pros, the art style is endearing. I was drawn to Blatella but ended up going for Buzz Bee. I enjoyed the twist I encountered.

The textbox and the menu screen is gorgeous.

Wow, this was quite the twist...I really fell for Elijah in the end and felt bad for him. Though I'm not sure if Elijah is that yandere, he just seems quite attached to an unhealthy level. Unless I missed something there wasn't any point he tried to hurt the MC.

For a ADV that is short, it packs a punch.
