I will try to be constructive and avoid spoilers.
- Yes: The game has the mechanics of story choices.
But: We make the main plot choices in the first chapter. then we mostly watch the election results. Sometimes there are situations when you are offered to choose 1 option out of 1. - Yes: The game has the mechanics of moving freely through locations
But: This doesn't make sense in most cases, because there is no activity in more than half of the locations outside the storyline. Of course, we can re-watch the H-scenes in some places, but they are open in the gallery. - Yes: The game features a day/night cycle (morning, day, evening, night)
But: Again, there are no special activities in the locations, and there is nothing to do in the "free time" between the story. The game's plot takes place during the summer holidays, but there are no time limits, and we can spend our days aimlessly lying in bed. - Yes: There are interesting ideas as mechanics of "money management"
But: This mechanic is used only once (when you need to have 20,000 money for shopping).
- Yes: I wrote this possibly negative review.
But: I understand that the game is under development. I apologize in advance if this message is demotivating, we look forward to continuing your project.
