I got five hours or so of play out of it, completed Dante's route, and realized I'd probably never play again. Good idea, mediocre execution. You're better off paying less for a much more finished product.. I don't normally play these types of games but this one caught my eye. I bought it on a whim and can honestly say I don't regret the purchase. I'm only about 3 hours in so far on my first playthrough but the game has turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Some things worth mentioning:Nice overall aesthetic. The UI, text boxes, menus, etc all have nice clean lines. For a game that requires a lot of text reading, it never becomes an eyesore.Very nice character design. I personally like the more realistic approach they took as opposed to some of the outrageous over the top visual designs of other games.The sim restaurant has some depth to it (more than I expected). Ranging from a variety of ingredients to unlock, to increasing your seating capacity, adding aditional menu options, advertising to attract different kinds of customers, etc all while balancing cost-performance to make a profit at the end of the week. The weekly goals make it somewhat challenging and this is what sets the game apart from other visual novels in that there is more here than simply clicking "next" from start to finish.Nice dialogue. The story is well-written and never comes off as goofy or immature (thus far at least). Nekopara this is NOT. The protagonist is completely relatable to (a credit to the writers).Overall, a solid effort from this developer and one I would recommend.. As a fan of indie\/sim VN's, I purchased this game as soon as I saw it. However, it feels repetitive and not worth the $20 I paid... It's a fun game, but it seems largely unpolished and way overcharged. I got five hours or so of play out of it, completed Dante's route, and realized I'd probably never play again. Good idea, mediocre execution. You're better off paying less for a much more finished product.. I love the concept - I really do. The issue was I personally couldn't immerse myself 100% because the only option is to be a male protagonist. In saying that, it's a good game it really is - worth trying.. This game is not great. It is easy to find simple recipies that will maximise your income and there is little incentive to increase your skills or search for more advanced recipes. After 8 hours, the game ends abruptly with a minimalistic scenario.I would pay $5 for an afternoon of fun, not $20.. I love the concept - I really do. The issue was I personally couldn't immerse myself 100% because the only option is to be a male protagonist. In saying that, it's a good game it really is - worth trying.
