This is a wonderfully made visual novel/otome game! The artwork is immaculate, the romance tugs at your heart strings, the plot takes you for a wild ride of twists and turns where the player may THINK they know where its going - but the player really doesn't know anything at all. Balancing missions and lectures while still making items through alchemy to improve the MC's relations with other factions is a delicate process, especially when playing Normal Mode. I foolishly thought I could hack it, but it's actually pretty difficult to do. You have my respect if you play on Normal Mode and actually get through the entirety of the game. All in all, this game is worth buying at full price.

I always come back to this game at some point. It's such a cute little game, and even if you don't succeed, it isn't the end of the world. You can play through as many loops as you need to accumulate the money needed to pay off your debt, and some stuff you get to keep - like your merchant level, items you already possess, etc. It's nice that the game lets you skip cutscenes too because you're bound to see the same ones over and over depending on how many loops you have to do. Overall, if you want a cute shopkeeping game with some adventure elements, this is the one to go for.

This game has taken my breath away.

Even though I haven't finished it yet (though, I'm almost at that point, I think), I can't believe how amazing it is! Everything is smooth, and despite a few sentences that could have been worded better, the game is just amazing. Every moment has you on the edge of your seat, waiting to find out whether it ends well or not. There's humor, quirky characters, and drastic plot twists at every turn. One moment, you think you might have done something to save everyone and get a happy ending, but as the story progresses, the main character, the other characters, and yourself are always questioning whether what is being done is right.

I also enjoyed how everything was questioned as it was. The characters never once just made assumptions, unless they were ones that they had no choice but to make. You never felt at ease and never felt "safe" unless the creators of this masterpiece wanted you to.

Though, I was surprised by the lack of choices presented. For the most part, you feel like you're reading a story rather than playing a game. However, when you did make big decisions, they reminded me of Mass Effect and how EVERY decision you made affected the outcome, and not in little ways either.

With all of that said, I would definitely recommend playing this game. And why wouldn't you? It's free and compatible with just about everything computer related. There would be nothing to lose, but quite an enjoyable ride to gain.

(On a side note, I'm also looking forward to more games by these people thanks to being introduced to this one.)

I adore this game. When I first bought it, I played it for hours. However, at the beginning it can be really frustrating. It's so easy to fail and go bankrupt even though the game makes it seem like it isn't that easy. Like you could pull through with just a little more effort. Despite this, when you actually figure out what works best to make a successful game and climb the business ladder, you get to see how technology has evolved over the years. Also, the game makes it really fun when they include the brands of consoles we all know and love, but change the names so that they aren't having any copyright infringement and what not (such as Apple being called Grapple).

Personally, I found that once I got the hang of creating fantastic games that got high ratings, it was easy to fly through the game without much difficulty, but when I produced that one game that didn't quite reach where it was supposed to, it was easy to fall into the pattern of creating mediocre games from that point onward. It was just like an actual video game producing business that it completely made me lose track of time. I get so involved in trying to make my business flourish that I even forget to take breaks to eat, let alone use the facilities.

Honestly, if you're a video game nerd, this game is utterly perfect for you to play. You can enjoy all the tid bits of seeing your favourite console be "born" into the video game industry all the way until the present day where no one knows exactly where we're going to go from here.

Though this game is hugely text based, and a little hard to figure out when it came to the override terminal, I really enjoyed this game and enjoyed what the majority of the story was based off of.

This game involves at least 5 different endings, and each one is worth the reward. Each time you complete an ending, more additional special features are unlocked that show how the game was made.

I don't want to spoil too much about the game because you should really figure it out for yourself, but it was definitely worth the buy, and I enjoy playing it.

This is more of a game that is targeted towards females like myself who love the types of games where the only control you have to use to play is the mouse, and where you can decide if you want to date someone. It is also a type of game where girls who like the idea of a well thought out plot and characters (despite how mary-sue and stereotypical they can be) is still fun to play.

The game gives you the impression that you get to play through all 3 years that the Academy offers to the students when really you only play the Freshman year. Also, you only have 3 possible people you can end up with dating wise in the storyline. As this can be a downside to the game, it is still fun to enjoy regardless. Also, you can only be a female in this game. You do not have the option to be a male.

I personally like how depending how you play the game depends on what happens in the story as well as the exams that you do in the school's dungeons. The type of game where your decision affects what happens has always been a favourite of mine. When it comes to the dungeons, I like how I actually had to think about what I was doing and try and figure out what was the best option to pass the exam. Especially when it came to the exam where you had to go neck and neck with a fellow student to pass the exam. With that exam in particular, I would save the game before hand, and keep playing it until I won because it proved to be so challenging.

All in all, I really love the game and would love it if others gave it a try too.
