  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

  As a person who's really, REALLY into cute boys and especially cute boys dressed as girls. I can say without a doubt that this game has an extremely cute boy in it and I am really enjoying the experience.

  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

  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.

  Highschool Romance is a slice-of-life visual novel developed and published by Dharker Studio. After moving to a new city, it's the start of Shoji's final year of high school but because of a crazy mix-up by his parents, he is due to attend an all girls school. Backing out now would be a costly process that would delay him from graduating on time with his class, fortunately, the principal has a solution to this strange crisis...pretend to be a girl in order to attend. You soon discover that what would have been a "dream-come-true" to many a male student is actually a lot more complicated. In this unusual situation, can you survive, make friends, or even find love? Highschool Romance is a light hearted V.N. full of teen angst and hilarious situations. Graphically, this visual novel is a wonderful delight to the eyes and has a top notch presentation just as all of Dharker Studios V.N.'s do. It has a manga-inspired artstyle that is extremely gorgeous and filled with bright colors as well as beautiful effects. Also of note is the fantastic audio quality and a quite memorable soundtrack which is delightful and fits the story perfectly. In summary, the excellent visuals and terrific aurals do a great job of complimenting the outrageous yet intriguing plot of Highschool Romance. This novel was a great read with endearing art and a very well written if not whimsical story. There are many decisions to make and multiple endings so the replayability is fairly high. Also, this V.N. offers a few options such as an image gallery to unlock as the narrative progresses, there are also Steam Achievements and Steam Trading cards to collect. In the end, Highschool Romance is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to fans of the visual novel genre and anyone in general who likes "fish out of water" stories.

  The art is great! The music is all right. The character design is pretty good. But I can't in good conscience give this game a thumbs up because of the sheer lack of content. I installed, played, and completed this game in one afternoon. Less than four hours of reading is not nearly enough, and I saw literally every scene. The people who made this game obviously did so with love and creativity, and I liked what there was, but there simply wasn't enough. It was basically a one-act story, without any of the time necessary to produce a build-up of tension. Not enough time for real conflict to emerge and resolve. There are other details I'm concerned with, like how shoehorned the drinking scene was, but I think a lot of these problems were caused because the writers wanted to cram in a variety of scenes but the game was too small to fit them. I'm interested in the future work of all the creators involved, because I don't think this game showcased their talents properly.

  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 :)
