Edit: This game is perfect. The annoying parts of the Dorian advertising has been removed, you can reset your progress, and the game is still itself. As I said before the edit, everything about this game is perfect. The characters are compelling, the storyline is intricate and intriguing, and the art is beyond amazing. 10/10.

I love this game. Unlike a ton of other romance apps, this is entirely possible to play completely free. While I really enjoyed Julian's "upright" character arc, I thought Lucio's upright character route was the best. The characters are memorable and their outfits are great! The music that plays in the main menu is beautiful. My only suggestion is that make the wait for keys to regenerate from 3 hours each to 2 or 1 hour. It's really easy to burn through three keys and then have to wait forever!

Definitely one of my favorite dating games. The story is something I found my self getting really invested in and if a dating sim doesn't have a good story line I won't play it. The only problem I had was that I found it annoying that I had to wait for keys to continue the story, and I that I had to pay coins to unlock certain options of dialogue. but other than that the characters are great and the storyline is great 👍
