Meh. This is the same picture/text click through game with zero animation. The storyline could have been a lot better and well, I just didn't find the walls of text interesting enough and missing animation just made this boring. Save your money, find something like Being a DIK which is 1000x better.
It was OK. Wait for the price to drop below $6 then buy. I do hope to see a DLC or season 2 for this. Good story line.
Game Details
From the developer
Element-174 is an adult sci-fi visual novel where everyday choices can have long lasting effects. In this story-rich and erotic adventure, play as a young man new to a university as he uncovers the secrets of Branchfield and the women he meets there.
About This Game
Welcome to Branchfield, a place where the improbable becomes reality.
You will play as a young man who has just enrolled in Branchfield University. There you will discover a large cast of characters amid this seemingly normal town. Who you decide to get to know and how you choose to interact with them will shape the story in an ever-unfolding narrative. Each branch will lead to a new possibility for love - or danger. This visual novel is sexy, funny, exciting and sometimes even deadly. It contains mature themes and situations throughout while never sacrificing story.
In this game, there are 16 women that you can become romantically involved with. They all have their own unique personalities and will respond differently to the choices you make. Are you interested in getting to know the flirtatious Emma or the more shy and reserved Madison? Will you find yourself in the office of the assistant dean Caroline, or butting heads with the college's diva, Jules? Each character's route is shaped by your choices and even influence each other's based on your relationships.

Horniness scale
Each game gets a score from 1 to 5 hearts. Higher means more explicit adult content.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 1 | Raunchy / softcore — suggestive themes, light fanservice, or mature humor; little or no on-screen explicit sexual content. |
| 2 | Spicy but restrained — clear adult intent (nudity, strong innuendo, or brief suggestive scenes) without sustained explicit focus. |
| 3 | Clearly adult — recurring sexual content or nudity as a meaningful part of the experience, but not the sole focus of the game. |
| 4 | Strongly explicit — graphic sexual themes, extended explicit stills or text, or gameplay built heavily around adult situations. |
| 5 | Explicit and often animated — graphic sexual content that is frequently animated or interactive; core to what you see and do in the game. |

Story is solid and the combat feels great, just wish there was more UI customization.
