Best Version: Windows

— This section contains spoilers! —

Good

  • The game is well-polished. The artwork for both the interface and characters is professionally done, the voices are well acted, and the game has a good ambient soundtrack by Jonathan Wandag.
  • I like that Kyu often breaks the fourth wall with jokes about the game.
  • Momo and Celeste have particularly nice trivia questions because you can actually learn from them.
  • Venus's questions do a good job of reminding the player just how much they've objectified them and how little they've paid attention.
  • Finding Celeste is a nice mini puzzle.
  • The idea of receiving sexts from women after a successful date was a good idea and adds a bit of realism to the game.

Bad

  • The full-screen art of the women doesn't match their paper-doll art very well. Seems like different artists worked on each section.
  • Despite billing itself as a "dating simulator," the game has very little to do with the process of dating.
  • While the tile-matching puzzle is fun, the games of information-gathering and gift-giving are so easy they're tedious.
  • There is very little variation in body types of the various women. They're all skinny, with thin legs and hips, and large breasts.
  • Although the game does have four non-white women, they still look like generic anime rather than their individual ethnicities.
  • The visible cameltoe in most outfits for most of the women is rather obnoxious.
  • The Steam release is censored, however, the developer nicely created a simple override.

Ugly

  • The only punishment for failure is winning fewer points. You can forget everything a woman tells you about herself, give her gifts she hates, and talk like an ass, but she'll still accept every offer to go on a date.
  • The women in the game are 2-dimensional. Nearly every answer to their questions is predictable.
  • The game's underlying mechanics are pretty dull. Without the polish and pornographic reward, it wouldn't be worth playing.
  • Though I know it's a game, lying to women for sexual coercion, even fictional women, makes me feel gross.
  • Momo is pretty disturbing. She states her age as 1 (in cat years), acts like a clueless child, calls the player her "master," and has a bondage photo.
  • Finding Momo is completely random and pretty much requires a spoiler.

Ratings

This is the order in which I appreciated the various women in the game.

Rank Name Notes
1 Aiko Funny, sarcastic, intelligent, more realistic dialogue, and she's more sexual than sexualized.
2 Jessie Great dialogue, and more sexual than sexualized.
3 Kyanna Very fun character, interesting responses and dialogue.
4 Kyu Very funny dialogue, more sexual than sexualized.
5 Beli Very kind, but kooky beliefs.
6 Audry Very funny, but highly obnoxious. It's hinted that she has a more interesting past.
7 Venus Very confident, but not much interesting dialogue.
8 Celeste An interesting introduction, but her dialogue is pretty dull.
9 Tiffany A very sweet woman, but not very interesting.
10 Lola Quite dull, talks to you like you're a airline passenger.
11 Nikki Boring, pitiful, unintelligent, low self-esteem.
12 Momo Obnoxious dialogue, annoying voice, childish.
