Amazing game, I liked a lot the different puzzles.
Maybe doesn't helps that much learning kanji or maybe since those were common kanji since the player is paying more attention to what every character does that what it means.
For example 水 grows flowers and 雨 grows flowers more, so the player stops thinking "water" and "rain", but instead "grow+1" and "grow+3".
But still I liked a lot the concept of the game.
The game is great but I encountered a few problems:
- Fusion cards require 2 cards to be summoned, but you don't know which ones until you already paid for them.
- Most cards say "for each X in your graveyard" but you can't check the graveyard while you're on the store to think if it's worth it.
- You can't check what hand upgrades you have anywhere. Neither know what is the base bonus of each hand.
- The art & scenes are totally secondary at this point since doesn't even appear during the gameplay, and having that uncanny AI generated appeal is just skippable. It feels more like a distraction from the actual game.
Writting a honest review:
Graphics are great! Sometimes light makes skin shine for no reason and sometimes is too dark, but ignoring that great animations and well done game!
A great quality overall that you usually expect from a usual Koikatsu game with multiple characters.
But theres 2 parts that kinda anoyed me:
1.- The game is completely linear.
Doesn't matter that separates multiple quest lines if you can only progress on one of them at once. Seems like there's only one storyline, but have to browse each quest to know what I have to do.
Also what's the point of adding schedules and a map to explore if all the time you have to go to a specific location on a specific time? Feels like giving a lot of room to freely exploring, but not allowed to freely explore.
Those mechanics work well on other games where each character has its own storyline and while exploring the diferent areas you find different events, but for a linear story like this is just distraction.
2.- Story doesn't seem to make much sense.
Didn't wanted to skip the story so I tried reading and understanding the story.. The "AI" girl concept are something like personal robots. Its something like Replika trying to replace a real girlfriend with a fictional character, but this time being a robot to somehow remove the "fictional" now that have real emotions and body?
Also, why spending large ammounts of money on making machines to just let'em free roam.
I understand that is to create that confrontation between SAI and FAI, but the story doesn't really explains the point of FAI where a robot is made and puchased for the price of a big house just to "let it go" and SAI sounds like the sexbots machine concept of Rick&Morty.
There's also some pointless stuff we see on the game like robots doing work with desktop computers... Its a bot, can't just connect itself to the computer?
Going to class to learn the jobs that the story itself says that were replaced by robots... shouldn't then be learning other jobs like "robot mainternance"?
Robots learning on the same class as humans or having to repeat and memorize stuff instead of just plugging the info with a usb... do they made the robots dumb to make them "cute" or something?
Warning, this game contains inside links to piracy sites and ilegal websites that Itch.io admins already menioned on this thread that will result in permament suspension:

Don't know if is going to change this on futher versions, but recomendations for updates on this version:
- Multisnacks (Soul lv 1) is the best option for first upgrade
- Seductor pin (Soul lv 2) might be fine as second upgrade
- The more Soul upgrades you get, the faster police will shoot you
- The more Mind upgrades you get, the faster police will move
- After third upgrade, invest always on body, you can tank the police and collect more eggs than any other upgrade in a single night. Investing on Soul or Mind will only make your game harder!
Suggestion (I know its still on a really early release):
Right now, the animation is always the same girl, but once they start to add more girls, would be great to have a collection of girls captured. Those side objectives of filling a collection are always pretty addictive.
Thanks, in that case I will try to bring all the evidence that I can on future reports!
It's true that on the mentioned reports I only provided link to original source and to their twitter where he admits pirating those games.
So to reduce moderation time, on future reports I'll provide more direct links (for example, link to the tweets where he mentions that games are pirated) and clear evidence (like the fact that says to be the author, but those games are made from unrelated different authors).
In case that helps with the moderation process of those reports 👍🏼
Also, thanks for taking care of this community, you guys are awesome!
That's what I did with the first user a month ago.

Original message:
This game is pirated, this is the original author of the game:
https://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ01041897.html
He didn't even mentioned the original author of the game on his post, actually claims that he's the dev of the game.
Not only that, I checked his profile and he posted several pirated games.
But I see that no action was taken and the user just keep posting pirated games with no problem. On the second report I also linked to his twitter since on his twitter that user mentions that he's pirating those games with no filter.
So I wanted to ask if I'm doing something wrong or those cases should be treated on a different way than the report link on the bottom 😥
WARNING! This post talks about +18 content
Hi, I'm a moderator of a subreddit +18 games community and our biggest problem right now is in fact piracy. Google is being a jerk and when you search for the name of a game it shows 5 piracy sites before showing the actual shop to get the game.
This causes a huge impact to developers, also anoys players that fully pay for their games as mentioned on this post https://itch.io/t/1326030/reporting-piracy.
So as measure, most subreddit communities started to only accept links from legit sites. But recently on Itch.io, a lot of pirated games are starting to pop up.
For example those two users:
They grab an engine to port games to mobile, port a pirated copy of the game and claim to be the author of the pirated games. Even asking for money and it's not even their games!
I already reported the first user a month ago but I see that he just keep posting pirated games and no one stops him. How Itch.io handles those situations? What's the correct way to handle piracy here?
Cuz right now, if I go to https://itch.io/games/newest/tag-adult I don't even started scrolling and PUM! Pirated game! https://centtesjahrhabest.itch.io/deport-this-dick

And I don't like the idea of this place becoming a piracy site, this is a great community and I like the vibes between Devs on every Game Jam.
Is there a way to see the status of your report?
I reported a game from this user that is reposting pirated games from different Devs claiming to be the author and selling them on a lower price that the actual game.
On his Twitter he admitted that those are all pirated, and I also added a link to the original game on the report as proof.
More than a week passed and I see that he just posted more pirated stuff, would be nice to know if the report was ignored for some reason, there's still not enough proof to take action or is just in queue cuz so many reports.
