It's a bit difficult giving this game a fair review, because I'm so split on it.
On the one hand, the quality of the writing and scene planning is first rate. The developer is no doubt taking great care to make the setting and scenes feel as realistic and real as they can given the circumstances. I was happy to see the character creation at the start work so well, ...
... but it also doesn't seem to make much of a difference. There are a handful of kink interludes during the school period, but aside from that I didn't notice any great differences with two vastly different characters and play styles.
Now to the downsides. I can only think of two, but both are on the major side.
First: the game feels very linear. To some degree that's to be expected with a story driven tale like this, but the number of optional "interlewds" is definitely way too little.
Second: the game has been out for more than two years and the developer earns >$6k per month now through his patreon. It's a great accomplishment to be so popular, but the popularity and financing doesn't appear to reflect in the game status. This is a game about a female agent in Bangkok and in the current version we haven't even arrived there yet!
Is the game well done? Absolutely. Does it make you want to play more? No doubt. Is there enough of the game? Not even close. Frankly, this feels like a demo version of a newly released video game, like those I got on discs and later CDs when buying gaming magazines. I would've easily rated this 4 or 5 stars if there had been more of it, but after 2+ years in development, the lack of content and the (too) linear gameplay has to be factored in as well.
