ReviewLooking at the game cover one is instantly drawn to its nice-looking art like a fool, and rightly so as you'd be a fool to think this game is actually any good. "Hodgepodge" is probably the best way to describe it: you get a dating sim, rpg battles (where Ryou is pitted against the laziest drawn foes ever), spells you learn by reading manga and flashbacks (?) of a regal life I simply couldn't make head or tail of. Oh and let us not forget the virtually useless online contribution to the 3 companies or the "items" like the backpack or that cardio thingy.

The game starts with a nice enough love triangle but lasts very little. You find yourself trying to cope with Rina's indecision and Claire's allegedly violent bf - who he is and whether the rumors about him were true shall remain a mystery to me as I tried different choices but the ludicrous randomness of the game barely let me see 3 endings. By the time you finish the game once though, believe me, you won't wanna try again.

As for the characters, theyre all pretty lame especially that dude friend. Honestly I was hoping for a Sophie route - oh well.

This game tried to be too much but ended up being very little. But then at 117 mb you can't expect that much depth, can you?
