An average game which is pretty but suffers from an overreliance on tired tropes.
The game is also a sandbox but really there's no discernible need for it to be so. It's an incredibly linear game. The sandbox is split into locations and there's a 4 stage day cycle but 90% of the time it's empty. There's a park... which is empty... there's a shop... that's closed half the time and closed some days, same for the college and the bar. New areas open up as you go but it seems they open for one scene, after which they're not needed anymore so it just reinforces the emptiness.
In terms of story you will have seen it before. Pretty girl who loves a guy for.... reasons who gets into money trouble and you just kind of go along with it like it's nothing. no communication, no plans to work it out. Just "husband in debt, welp I guess it's up to me now to pay off the sexy loan shark". Porn logic at its finest. It's fine and all but it just plays into the feeling that the MC is a bit ditzy.
What's worse is, despite it being a sandbox, there's no much in the way of choices so for example the Dean catches you doing a thing and you can lie about why or tell the truth. If you tell the truth you become a good little sub, if you lie you get scolded for obviously lying and then told to tell the truth. And what's worse is some story threads are locked behind these type of scenes. Bored with the cliche daddy dom dean? Tough luck cause that's all you get until you run through the scene.
As I said, it's pretty, the MC is lovely to look at but there's not enough there to hide the fact it's an empty sandbox with cliche, tick the box steps on the way to debauchery.
