Ratings and reviews

The story's plot is interesting (the English isn't so bad) if only some more time was spent on flushing out the details and actions of the characters, and maybe cutting back on some things not needed, also fixing the romance options and their actions...I would have loved this story. I'm giving 3 stars(not 2) only because I'm sure it was alot of hard work just to code this, I'm learning Choice of Script code myself and it's not easy, and it's time consuming.

The writing is so absolutly horrible i couldn't tell what was going on 90% of thr time. The so called "choices" were insignificant and the characters were bland, cliche, and irritating. If it were free I would go easier on it but due to its own awefullness, short length, and price I can confidently say that this is one of the worste hosted games and to not waste your money.

one quarter of a serious choice of game that gave up and decided to be silly. Enjoy all the atrocities you get to witness and no one ever pays for. The ending is sudden and lackluster. The worst choice of game I've encountered. Which is even before putting all the "coding" mistakes that cause sentences to be repeated, or even worse, skipped. The writer should've just shelved this rather than have this attributed to themself.
