Positives:
- The game is widely praised as fun, enjoyable, and worth the time and money. Reviewers highlight the excellent production quality, engaging gameplay, and immersive experience. Some reviewers specifically mention smiling or laughing while playing, and express gratitude to the development team.
- The game features a cast of visually appealing female characters with diverse personalities and designs. Reviewers appreciated the character design, the actors' performances, and the variety of archetypes represented. Some reviewers expressed specific preferences for certain characters.
- The game offers a wish-fulfillment narrative where the player, as the male protagonist, can pursue relationships with multiple attractive female characters. The game often includes a 'cheat' system or special abilities to aid in these romantic pursuits. This wish-fulfillment aspect is a key element of the game's appeal.
- The game evokes strong emotional responses in players, allowing them to experience feelings of romance, happiness, and even loss. Some reviewers found the game to be emotionally comforting or cathartic, and appreciated the sense of immersion it provided. The game allowed some reviewers to reconcile with past missed connections.
- The game is structured as an interactive movie or short drama series, providing a cinematic experience with player-driven choices. The game includes features like pausing, rewinding, and skipping scenes, enhancing the viewing and interactive experience. The game is easy to pick up and play.
Negatives:
- The plot is criticized for being disjointed, illogical, and generic, with weak character development and a lack of meaningful choices. Players feel that their decisions have little impact on the story, leading to a passive and unengaging experience.
- The game suffers from severe translation issues across multiple languages, including poor quality, missing text, synchronization problems with audio, and instances of machine translation. This makes the story difficult to understand and significantly detracts from the overall experience.
- The game has inconsistent audio levels, particularly with the male protagonist's voice, which fluctuates in volume and sometimes sounds muffled or distorted. This makes it difficult to hear dialogue and creates an uneven audio experience.
- The game features shaky camera work and awkward camera angles that cause motion sickness and disorientation. The camera movement is often excessive and distracting, making the game uncomfortable to play.
- The game's user interface is poorly designed and lacks essential features such as a skip button and a back button. Reviewers describe the UI as ugly, messy, and in need of improvement.
Gameplay:
- The game's narrative is largely linear with limited branching, despite some choices. Affection levels don't decrease, and high affection is needed for good endings, restricting player agency and replayability. Some choices lead to inconsistencies in the plot.
- The game features a 'cheat' or system mechanic that grants the protagonist abilities like mind-reading and invisibility. However, these abilities are often underutilized, undeveloped, or forgotten as the story progresses, making the system feel pointless.
- The game is structured around multiple female characters, each with their own storyline and ending. The game is divided into chapters, with a small puzzle at the end of each chapter.
- The game includes a Gomoku (five-in-a-row) minigame that some reviewers found enjoyable, noting its surprisingly high AI level. Other mini-games include jigsaw puzzles and connect-the-dots.
- Some mini-games or segments, such as a Werewolf-style segment, feel unnecessary and detract from the overall experience. Some gameplay mechanics are too simple and lack entertainment value.
Performance:
- Multiple reviews mention audio and video synchronization problems. Additionally, some reviewers noted that the video quality appears to be below expectations, with some even claiming it's not running at a full 1080p resolution.
- The ESC menu is reported as being unresponsive, requiring multiple presses to activate. This negatively impacts the user experience, as a core function is not working as intended.
Recommendations:
- Some reviewers suggest specific improvements, such as optimizing the game, improving the script and writing, and reconsidering casting choices. One reviewer specifically calls for changing the font and its size, indicating potential accessibility issues.
- Some reviewers express that the game provides a positive experience, with some reviewers expressing gratitude and others hoping players find love. However, these points lack specific details about gameplay or mechanics.
- The game is considered a decent entry in its genre, particularly for fans of romance FMV games, with the attractiveness of the actresses being a main appeal. However, there are better options available.
- Reviewers are interested in future installments, DLC, and related content, indicating a desire for more content and story development. Some hope for more elaborate and engaging stories with increased funding in the future.
- The game is recommended only for players who understand Chinese, suggesting potential issues with translation or a lack of accessibility for non-Chinese speakers. Hiring a translator is recommended.
Miscellaneous:
- The game explores themes related to human nature, emotions, and the impact of one's background and actions. It delves into the consequences of karma and resonates with deep-seated desires.
- The game's popularity and reception are highly dependent on the individual player and their background. It reflects the mindset of a specific demographic, suggesting a targeted user base.
