  Decent plot, good art but VERY short game. You can complete it in under 2 hours, and it doesnt have any variety. Completing the game once to unlock the whole gallery is a bust as you dont get rewarded from playing it a second time, you only get new dialogue. Choices dont make much difference and there are very few endings, 3 to be exact, not even a hidden easter egg ending? Shame... Also the pacing was a bit too Sanic. A lot of new things were just slapped on your face and it was really hard to keep up. Shows that the writer had so much to tell but so little time and space. With slower pacing, would've easily stretched the game to at least 4 hours. Definitely not worth the original price, even at -20% off at 8 dollars it was a bad deal. Not enough bang for you buck, but worth it if you get it cheap. It had potential to be a much better and LONGER story but fell off short. I'll rate it Manlet/5

  After the somehow little disappointing titles from this dev, with 'Highschool Romance' you'll get a very decent and enjoyable VN. The art style is very nice and fresh, just the faces of the girls are a bit odd and you need some time to get used to them. The story isn't anything otherworldly but yet still nice and enjoyable and keeps you entertained through the game. Glad they added the 'maid' route because otherwise the game surely would have been short - took me about 2.5 hours to get the good and bad ending of Hoshi and Selina. In total it took me about 5 hours to see all CGs except one. IMHO it's a fair deal for the discounted price. I did not find any bugs but just a few minor typos and in some cases the written text wasn't matched to the correct girl. Nothing gamebreaking as you clearly can associate it to the right person. The only negative aspect (IMHO) is that the CG gallery is fully viewable right from the start of the game.

  I have never played a game like this in my life, so this is review is coming from someone who bought this game as a joke at first. [b]Warning: contains potential spoilers.[/b] Things I liked: [list] [*]Characters had lots of charm to them [*]Music was catchy [*]Cool environments, solid art [*]I got way more invested than I was expecting LOL [/list] Things I didn't like: [list] [*]I wish there were more drawings (poses? idk what to call it). Each character had only a few different animations and they shared a very similar model so there wasn't much variety. [*]Needs to show more 3rd party characters! Even if just for a couple scenes. I'd like to see more than just the 3 [*]It was a little short for $8. I don't know if I can fault the game for that. I took my time, went back and repeated stuff, and it was just under 3 hours of gameplay. I think if they added another character or two it would have helped. [/list] My advice: [list] [*]For the love of god tell "Miss Rowan" to try the clothes on herself [*]I feel bad for Hoshi cus Selina is a douche to her, but go with Selina. She is a wayy more entertaining girl [/list] Good foray into this kind of "game" for me. I probably give a superficially high rating of 8/10 because I wish Selina existed IRL. Would give +.5 more if I could figure out how to get with the principal

  The drawing style is very good and makes the game attractive to play through. The game is a bit short and can be played through in about an hour (although I spent some time getting different endings and making different choices by making a new save for every choice that I got). The "nudity" in the game is very light which I find appropriate for any game you would buy on steam for all your friends to see. If you want something "else" then there are surely other services for that, or you could always patch the games you buy here if that's what you want *hint hint* ; p If you are used to playing visual novels then this might be a bit light for you (because of the rather light and short story). I found the story to be pretty cute, even though they could have developed it a bit more. I would also have liked more scenes throughout the story as some dialogues would really deserve/need it, and I even found a few dialogues to not really fit with the current scene showing. Either way, for the price of this game I'd say it's worth it. It's a good game :)

  Why am I rating this!?! Oh so lonely I have become. Anyways, I love the subject matter of the game, but it should have been filled with more visuals/content, especially with events where a visual instead of only text would be nice. As well as more areas to make choices instead of it making them for me. Conclusion: - Cute, quirky, and kinky game Idea - But severely lacks content. Although, I don't really regret my purchase so it is hard to rate this with two options.

  So I bought this game out of impulse when I saw Chilled play it. Let me just say this game was my first Visual Novel. It has a great, if slightly generic, storyline and definitely worth picking up if you're new to Visual Novels like I was. "Nudity" is a rather misleading tag because the closest you get is underwear and lingerie. This fact is better, though, as players can focus less on mindless sex appeal and perhaps enjoy the story a bit more. Is it worth $10? Probably not. Is it worth playing, however? Absolutely. Final recommendation: Shave a few dollars off this and it's definitely worth it. Full price, maybe, if you really want a quality Visual Novel.

  There are things you take for granted when you're reading VNs, that you miss when absent. Screen transitions between scenes and days. A distinctive text difference between your actual speech and your inner thoughts besides italics which you can barely distinguish. Backgrounds that change based on time and location. A pacing which lets you take your time and enjoy the experience before it's suddenly over. A readable text background that doesn't make your eyes hurt after a few minutes (seriously, that bright red is enough to blind someone...) This game lacks all of those things. It's a breakneck adventure with sudden jolts between scenes that is difficult to keep up with at times. Whenever I started to feel myself enjoying the experience, I was jolted into another scene and the immersion was broken again. As a first attempt at a game like this, it's not terrible. A $10 price point for this 2 hour romp through a fairly token story is a little steep. You wouldn't regret paying a buck or two for it if you're tired of trips to feels town and just want a light-hearted romp with a few girls. I can't give a full recommendation in this state, but I'm still curious for the sequel. If they smooth out some of the rough edges in the interface, learn about pacing, and make the game a little longer, Highschool Romance 2 could be a solid game. This one just isn't quite there.

  I’m only giving a thumbs up on this VN because I really liked the art style plus the concept. But… It’s not so good as I was expecting. Characters are plain (Lea was the only good in my opinion, and Shoji was just cute) and the story seemed rushed. BG was amazing, BGM was ok (but kinda repetitive). This is an okay VN if you’re bored and have some sparing money. I recommend getting this only on a good sale since the game is too short. 5/10. I would like to see another project with the same artist, that would be nice.
