ReviewWriting this review makes me a little happy, because i didn't think i'd ever finish all the pre-gs4 tokimemo games after getting introduced to the series over half a decade ago. I gotta say this is my favorite tokimemo when it comes to sheer gameplay, it already had a lot of cool mechanics from gs2 but the 3p date mechanic made it go a step beyond. One thing of note is that rather than having female best friends that can become love rivals and a side character that gives you info on the boys, this game rolls both into one by having best friends that give you info yet never become love rivals. This worked in the sense of making them likeable (making them arguably the best characters of this kind in the whole series up to this point) but it took a bit of the gameplay intrigue (i can see the gameplay becoming too complicated if they also could become rivals though). My biggest complaint is the same i had with the entire girl's side series about the city not feeling as alive as the original tokimemos from the 90's but all the main characters are still pretty lively. A very close second favorite tokimemo of mine overall and highly recommended for those into dating sims because of the amount of interesting mechanics. Borderline decent as a VN.
