This is an older otome game. I believeit was released roughly July 2011, so I guess it's not that old. Asthe offical summery vaguely covers. You play as a young girl (you getto pick her name) who transfers college in her very last year ofsixth form (Though I was under the impression that sixth form happensin high school not college). This game offers 5 romanceable guys plusa secret character with lots of different personalities. You have thebest friend type who likes to tease you, the quiet type who isactually a really nice guy. The broody, 'don't talk to me' type.
Theplay boy and finally the cutesie younger guy who really hates beingtreated as a kid. There are also 5 girls you can befriend. If youcomplete one of the girls path which involves not romancing any ofthe guys, you will receive a special item from them that will helpincrease your stats during the stat raising part of the game. Theseitems carry over saves and through into a new game. As soon as I found this game I wasreally excited to try it out because it's the first visual novel I'vecome across that's based in the UK – Where I currently live.
It wasgreat to see all the British slang that I know and love and thatmoney was in pounds (£) instead of dollars or euros. For someonelike me, it was just that little extra touch. I actually can'tremember how I came across this novel as when I first got into thesetypes of things I used to google for visual novel games and not oncedid I get directed to this title. It's such a shame too.
As I briefly mentioned, this is a statraising novel which I usually hate but this one was somehowdifferent. I'm not sure if I just ignored it this time because of myexcitement of a British based game or that I'm actually getting useto them. Either way, I generally had a lot of fun. You have 4 basicstats: smarts, charm, social and fitness but there is also stress.With any stat building game, different guys like different stats butyou also have to make sure to balance them out as they will determinewhether you pass your A-Level exams at the end of the game or not.Stress is built up as you preform different activities throughout theweek. If you preform them successfully you receive less stress thanif you were to fail something.
Stress can be decreased by relaxingduring the week which will, in turn, decrease your main stats sightlyas well or going out during the weekend. However, going out on a datewill not have any effect of your stress levels so you have to balancethis out carefully as the higher your stress, the more likely you areto fail an activity. Although this is a stat building game,there is still tones of story to be had here.
Several eventthroughout the year such as, Halloween, Christmas, Valentines day andeven your birthday provide a nice chance to see the guy you'reperusing a little more. In fact, some of the boys will give yougifts that can help with raising your stats if you have it equipped;such as, a journal that will help raise your smarts skill. Theseitems will only stay with you for your current game though. While I'mon the subject of equipping items, it's also possible to go shoppingon the weekend to buy new clothes. There are three shops with tonesof items to choose from with a few different styles – the punkclothes being my favourite. The guys have their preferred likes anddislikes when it comes to how you dress too and they will reactaccordingly when you invite them out on a date. They can alsoremember what you wore on the previous date so make sure you mix andmatch or they might comment about how dirty they think you are.
It's realistic if nothing else! Such as with the job option within thisnovel, there are also four after school clubs you can join. Again, Ibelieve once you join zed clue you can't change but for this, youdon't have to go if you don't feel like it. The clubs are athletics,music, drama, and netball. Each guy again, has their preference.
Andalthough you don't have to attend them if you don't want to, I wouldadvise that you do as most of the best endings require that you'veattended a certain club x amount of times and have seen so and soevents through them. Shuppin is the other guy you're likelyto meet first in this game.
He's quiet and comes across as sociallyawkward when he first meets the MC. You'll hear a lot of things aboutShuppin such as, most of the girls in the lower years have majorcrushes on him and that he tends to sleep through most of hisclasses. That may be because he's an extremely busy person. His dreamis to become a musician and his preferred item is the guitar thoughhe also plays the violin.
Shuppin can potentially become a member ofthe music club if you reply accordingly when asked if you'd prefermore guys or more girls to join the club. Rhett is the jerk of the school. To gethis attention you're going to have to match his sarcastic attitude.Don't try to please him to begin with. I had a lot of fun with hisroute mainly because I got to pick an option that said, “You know,you're kind of a dick!”. I think that's a first I got to use areply like that. Don't let his glare discourage you though, as behindthat angry front Rhett actually has a heart of gold.
You will findout that he's actually a really caring guy to those that stick it outand manage to get close to him. Being the huge playboy Beck is, he'sreally hard to impress.
You have to have a high charm stat for him toeven answer the phone to you and if you want a compliment out of him,you have to follow the fashion articles, which you can find throughyour emails, to the letter. This can make getting his best ending alittle tricky as once a month you will have to check the article andthen go shopping which will mean one less date with him a month.Considering he doesn't show up in the game right away it means youcan end up just wasting time. Ways around this however, are to eitherkeep note of what is in fashion while you're on a different guys pathor look for a walkthrough for his style and then just buy in bulkbefore meeting him – There's nothing like being prepared after all. This guy only has one ending – Bestending, and strangely enough, he turned out to be my favourite guyoverall. Well if you played one or two routes forthe others guys, It's highly likely you already met him. You knowthat rude guy that works at 'Kit locker' that will barely sayanything to you or only gives you a mere 'Hmph'? Yes, that's right –It's him.
To unlock his route you must visit Kit locker every timeyou have a chance on the weekend. Eventually the MC will notice he'seyeing her and get it into her head that he thinks she trying tosteal. The truth is, he's actually just curious why a pretty girlsuch as yourself is returning to a sports shop constantly. And to befair, you have to visit the shop so many times, that if each time youdid go there, you were to buy something, you'd have a years worth ofsports clothes and then some! From this meeting you will find out hisname is Mardi and he's French. He is currently studying at the nearbyuniversity and he had to take a job at Kit locker to pay for hisfinances. Now, you can't get a job here yourself, but what you can dois keep visiting each weekend.
From here on out, he will be happy tosee you and greet you with a small sentence instead of his usualsigh. This will happen for the next few times. After visiting acertain amount of times more, you'll unlock an event with him and thecycle will repeat. Overall this game reminded me ofanother visual novel I've played before called 'Heartstring Bugs'.Both have the unique feature with the clothing system and how theguys will have their preferred style and will remember what you werewearing on the last date. The job system and the after school clubsetc.
Even both of the MC's 'main' friend was an attention whore inboth novels. Either way, I did hugely enjoy this game. Like I said,it was the first stat raising game where I generally enjoyed myselfand because of the British theme going on, it was close to home forme.
Not all of the guys were to my liking (which should be how it isanyway) but I really loved playing as this heroine! She was a nicechange from the other ladies I've played as. This girl actually feltlike a 17 year old with the things she thought about and how sheacted – it was very refreshing.
In stat building games, that seemsto be the main focus but for this one, I'd say it was 50/50 on parwith the story. The art was very unique and to my liking.
I do liketo see some crazy looking chins from time to time haha. Another thingI liked was that you're offered a special item to help with your statraising if you do decide to pursue a girl as a friend instead of justgoing for the guys and leaving it there as at the end of the day thisis advertised as an otome game so it's nice to be offered thatsomething extra just for breaking out of the norm. The quality of thewriting is decent, although in my personal opinion, nothingground-breaking. However, I don't recall ever spotting any spellingor grammar mistakes and I have to say, that is defiantly a first forthat! I'll also point out that there aren't any bad endings in thisgame. Marius, Shuppin, Rhett and Beck all have three endings eachwhich are good end, best end, and dual end (dual end being where youraise either Marius and Shuppin's or Rhett's and Beck's bars to fulland you eventually have to pick between them). Perth has a good andbest ending while Mardi only has his best ending that I mentionedalready.
