ReviewThere's more to it than just a VN. This one contains plenty of things I personally respect within the genre - no day 2 bang-on-the-spot bimbo heroines with mountainous and perfect shapes, more male characters than female ones (that is, until the ep 7), little but notable alterations in the scenes depending on your playthrough.
The graphics has a great level of detail and variability - it's always commendable to pay more attention to the mundane part of visual entertainment, rather than describing things via text, as only more VNs do lately.
Sadly though, game seen no update in almost a year and on the episode 8, not a single one of routes has been unleashed yet. I just hope this game doesn't get abandoned and if it gets updated any time soon, I hope Az feels like there's plenty enough of heroines already. It worries me since in ep 7 alone we were presented with 3 more heroines which are clearly a huge distraction from the main plot. Adding a route for Japanese doctor was already more than redundant and with each new heroine, our chances to ever see the game concluded, vanish. If I were Az, I'd consciously neglect ever adding any new girls aside from the initial three ones in the game, in order to focus on developing main story. This has to be done along with some encouragement for Az's work, because at the moment, the dude clearly lacks the motivation to work on this promising project.
