“I saw a piece of paper advertising this game at college. I thought "♥♥♥♥ it why not," but now the game's actually making me think college could be enjoyable. Could it be? Probably not but it is a fun and free experience”

“It's cute but when they added the 2nd episode I lost all of my progress from the first episode, so I'm having to replay all the routes so I can get this newest achievement. Frustrating and really hoping that this doesn't happen with the next update as well! Make sure to back up…”
