This was made by millenials for millenials but heavens forbid a guy get a little quirk chungus..

Extremely polished game! This is the most value I've ever gotten out of a 40$ VN type game. Everyone is voiced (extremely good voice acting) and had their own BGM. Extremely diverse and quirky cast, but nothing is too fleshed out. Some of the designs are a little.. too on the nose.

If you want a dating sim, this is definately not it x(. The game forces you to talk to (almost) everyone in order to continue routes. Everyone has their own gimmicks and quirks so it's still fun to meet them! Feels less like a dating sim and more like a funny vn. Some characters are already in relationships/like other chars.

!! Don't expect to go in and have a long romance with your favourite !! You sort of just meet them, help them with something, and then at the end you get to be in "love" or not. Not much after that.

Small criticism, I was a little disapointed to find out the china was.. japanese? I was excited to see a chinese character as a chinese player. and that characteer was written very stereotypically, which i found to be really weird considering how inclusive and progressive the game seems to be.

Good game for the price, even better on sale! Gameplay is candycrushlike and is sometimes frustrating, but you can get in game cash (from playing, easy to farm) to brute force it so you never really feel locked. I'm not even into furries but the stories are pretty good for how short they are and there's tons of cgs

I tried really really hard to like this game and looked forward for the release but I havnt enjoyed the gameplay one time throughout my couple days playing... The most fun i had was reading the character descriptions and looking at the beautiful splash/sprite art in the character archive section.

Here are some positives:
- Free game, not too laggy and easy to understand UI
- Pulls are easy to farm early and there's pity on gacha
- All main character models and splash arts are incredibly good looking and sprites tweened
- Every playable unit has 3 nsfw scenes
- Lots of different bl pairings (monogomous and no switching but thats ok)

My biggest gripe with this game is the commandseal dispatch section. You don't use stamina to farm mats, you get 3 commandseals (tickets) every day to farm and it's spread across all the materials (coin, level up mats, skill up mats, weapon mats). Even when you unlock higher levels, it still gives the same reward per clear(very very little). It costs 50 gems (1/2 gacha pull) to replenish 1 of your tickets and then 100 for the 2nd, 150 for the third.

Even if you wanted to P2W, the material cost in this game is INSANE. It costs you the same amount to for a gacha pull to buy 1 level up mat for a character in which you need 30 for TIER ONE. I only have a character to tier two which is at 50. It would cost you $60cad to level a character from lvl20-30 (t1). I can't possibly understand why level up/enhancement mats are so expensive. tldr the mats in this game are all severely overvalued making it really hard to advance, even if you spend money. I've never played a game this unbalanced in terms of resources,,, instead of greedy it just feels like an error.

The story is not good at all.. the painter of the night stuff is put into the first chapter of the story instead of an event so there's this random fantasy isekai thing in what's supposed to be guideverse/apocolyspe. Each time you meet new characters, they introduce themselves, fight, then leave.

If you're playing this game, you're here for the gay sex, everything is censored. Not just the genitals, their entire bodies are blacked out. It's a sillouhette (T0T). The tweened models of all the characters are extremely well made and handsome, though most NPCs are weirdly pixelatted?

Here's the rest of gameplay complaints I have since this is getting long:
- No real events going on despite the game just releasing
- Nothing prompts you when you unlock new mechanics or guides you on what they do
- There's an ai chatbot section..? ? ? Who could possibly have wanted this ?
- So many things require unnessessary amounts of clicks, pls QOL update...
- It's very hard to get espers (playable chars) to fill out a team since the banner gives weapons far more often. (I've played for a while and I just have enough to fill one team with no synergy. I've pulled 160 times)
- You can't view status effects, ability descriptions, or enemy health in combat.
- Every wave, the attack order resets so you can't effectively use your turn.
- Character kits arn't creative and some contridict (tank ability, dmg ult?)
- Very unclear what guiding and the guide meter does exactly
- unskippable ult animation with ssr espers
- higher level weapons, when used to level up another weapon, don't give more exp than base lvl weapons
- it just doesn't feel like anyone beta tested the gameplay

A gimmick that I personally find super annoying is that when you get to a new wave, the attack order resets and there's no base stall ability (block for turn, skip for turn).. So if your last character needs to guide(heal), their turn can just be skipped and they insta die if the next wave has first attack. It's clear that they didn't put too much effort into the combat system and expect everything to be played on auto... (but it's almost impossible to get your characters to a high enough level to faceroll)

I don't mind the censorship, but there needs some serious QOL changes with the leveling mats for this game to even be playable. And maybe lower rank espers so you can at least have a couple chars for combat when you start.
It's a free game, so if you like how the men look, try it out! But please don't spend money on gems to speed up gameplay, it's SERIOUSLY not worth it.

TLDR since this is way too long: The guys are hot but only thing you'll see sucking is the gameplay. Game feels rushed to be a cashgrab but there's no gratification for spending money.
