ReviewSweet and relatively hot albeit very short VN. Tries to do many things at once despite being one bite sized snack.

- Pros
Above average art
Tackles very rare vanilla oyakodon route
Nozomi as central heroine is probably why you want to play this and shes great
If you're learning Japanese the game is super easy to read

- Cons
Every route except Nozomi's is comically short, you can blast through them in 1, maybe 1 and half hour tops
Even if Nozomi has the longest route, the things it wants to accomplish are simply too ambitious for its runtime
Nozomi's VA is not very good
Shovel-ware tier music

I mean, if you're looking for quick bust with Mama-spoiling themes you'll probably enjoy this if you set your expectations accordingly. Otherwise, I would look elsewhere.

Nozomi's route was okay, but the whole thing felt rushed and underdeveloped as she went from suddenly moving to your house to H extremely fast. You also get the whole works with her route, there's childbirth and marriage, even with an epilogue where you see kid grown up a bit but it feels forced and unrewarding.

Aya and Ichika route was the main thing I came for and damn was I left with blue balls. The route starts off great, the game knows why you chose this route and gets to oyakodon really quickly, at this point it feels like much better Mamakano but soon it dawns on you how much really is there. Spoiler - Not much really.
