Plus, as a native Walloon, I’m happy to see some representation in an otome game. Only thing that bugged me was the few French errors I could spot, but besides that there’s nothing else I could complain about. I’d advise it to anyone! ### 5/5 — Great Characters, No Inn App Purchases! *2018-04-08, version 1.1* Love it! It’s nice to have a dating sim where you don’t have to pay in-app to advance the story. ### 5/5 — Thumbs up! *2018-03-21, version 1.1* Really enjoyable storyline, great visuals, a very good game :) ### 5/5 — Great quality! *2018-01-21, version 1.1* This game kind of ruined all other otome/dating sim story type games for me. You can tell that the makers put a lot of thought into making this a more realistic experience, with lots and lots of detail, interesting characters, a nuanced and well-researched story, and a likable protagonist. Highly recommend this game! Please make another game along these lines, or make a sequel! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-03-01, version 1.1* Awesome game! Beautiful graphics, cool plot and an awesome yuri route! That's the best route yet! ### 5/5 — One of the best Visual Novels out there *2016-11-08, version 1.1* To be honest I adore this game so much. I love the story it tells, I like the mini games, and I love the characters. The characters in this game are unique and have their own style/flare and amazing storyline. Personally, I been through all the paths, but my favorite is the Joan romance path because she is so adorable and cute when she blushes and also the fact that she is the best friend/ girlfriend anyone could ask for since she is always there for you. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-10-23, version 1.1* Beautiful images, fun to play, amazing ### 5/5 — Unique concept *2016-10-08, version 1.1* I thought the plot was good and interesting and I liked how some guys had some form of disability (like with Kyler being death). I would've liked a tad more romance in it though, like we only got the romancing towards the end. And the mini games were interesting as well, but it got to a point where it was getting too big and a bit more complicated that I just ended up skipping them. Almost wish I could've zoomed in once it got to be 15x15 squares for the cave games. ### 5/5 — Fabulous Game... For a price. *2016-10-07, version 1.1* I rarely write reviews, but I'm making an exception for this game! It is a true pleasure to play, and I felt so smart and exotic learning all of the interesting facts about archeology and reading the French! The art was beautiful, Mel was so sweet (I loved the diabetic twist!) and the boys were all irresistible. My heart was sold out for Kyle... And then the free trial ended. I CANT purchase the rest, unfortunately, but thoroughly enjoyed the taste that I got. Sometime I hope to splurge and continue. Thanks for creating such a lovely and unique twist on the usually so clichéd dating sims. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Boring *2020-03-06, version 1.1* Hated the characters and the story line. Tried to like it and was enjoyable at first but then it got awfully boring and the personalities of all the characters are.....eh. I didn’t like the main character enough to actually want to play as her like no thanks lol. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2019-08-18, version 1.1* I never got to play the game because of “user license” I hate this it might’ve been a decent game if I got to play it I wish I did but could not and one other thing I hate about it is that if you hit disagree on that user license thing it kicks you off the game and I tried it five times and it didn’t work so I officially hate this app and I don’t want it on my phone ever again so yeah ### 3/5 — Can’t purchase? *2024-06-12, version 1.1* The story is nice, I tried purchasing it when my free trial finished, but it kept kicking me out back to my home screen! I deleted it twice but still every time I try to unlock the full game sadly it kicks me out. Developers is there any reason why? ### 3/5 — La langue *2019-08-19, version 1.1* Le seul problème c’est que je comprends rien à l’anglais 😅 ### 4/5 — Free trial but have to buy if you wanna continue *2022-02-21, version 1.1* I really liked the game so far, but I noticed it’s just a free trial. If you wanna keep playing you have to pay. Unfortunately I don’t have the money to spend it on apps so I guess my way ends here. To those who are willing to pay I think it could be worth it, the game seems to be good. ### 4/5 — I love this game! *2019-09-08, version 1.1* I love this game a lot and have done almost every relationship except Hendrik. It’s impossible! I’ve tried multiple different times and I just can’t get it too work! Please fix this bug so I can enjoy this game again. ### 4/5 — Whaaaa *2019-08-11, version 1.1* Can I finally play as a non-pale character 😍 ### 5/5 — Mixed feelings *2021-05-18, version 1.1* Here is my opinion: Definitely worth it, make sure to play the mini-game’s but I’m pretty sure they don’t make a difference in the end (I’m about to do another playthru except w/o the mini games). Atleast for my romantic choice - the story did not have a lot of ‘romance’ involved as expected : ( the ending never gave grades out which I secretly REALLY wanted as I ACED and rocked (pun on words) my stats. I did like the feel of the experience of an expiation. ### 5/5 — Seriously.... *2020-03-19, version 1.1* This game has been one of my best purchases yet. I love the details of the classes and the flexibility to choose what I do each day. I also enjoy that depending on what you choose you get to experience different events. My personal fav has always been shoji. The cuteness to his character is too much and I always have to read his story. Every time I get a new phone I make sure I transfer everything. This game is A++++ ### 5/5 — Music is so good *2019-10-28, version 1.1* I love the music I want it on my IPod ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — More *2019-09-01, version 1.1* Can you make more cuz I love this game so much I would like to see more of it ### 5/5 — I really like it! buuutttt.... *2019-08-30, version 1.1* I wish I didn't have to pay... :( that completely ruins the point of a free game! :( other besides that it's good and I taught me a lot. ### 5/5 — AMAZING!! *2019-06-15, version 1.1* My heart feels so fluttery after that, definitely worth the $10. I absolutely fell for Shoji, and I rarely write reviews, but this game broke my heart at the fact that it didn’t go on forever. Curse this game for making me fall so hard for the adorable little nerd Shoji, but also bless this game. All the characters are so cute, mini games are fun, just hard to pass eventually, so I skip, and good backgrounds. All in all, thank you creators. Thank. You. ### 5/5 — Super génial ! *2019-04-15, version 1.1* J'avoue n'avoir télécharger le jeu qu'après avoir vu que l'histoire se déroulait dans notre bonne vieille Belgique ( patriotisme quand tu nous tient ! ). Malgré cela, je ne m'attendais pas à être aussi agréablement surprise. Les jeux sont amusants, les personnages sympathiques et j'aime beaucoup le fait que l'on peut choisir les activités de la semaine. Malgré quelques erreurs qui m'ont fait rire, ce jeu est vraiment top. Un Visual Novel de qualité pour sûr ! ### 5/5 — I love it! *2019-03-03, version 1.1* As an archaeology/anthropology student I was pleasantly surprised that such a game exists. I LOVE the characters and the story. It seems like every joke that was made in this game, my friends and I have said before in uni or the field. (The moment with licking the bone is extremely relatable) The lab puzzles are a bit tough for me for some reason, but I extremely enjoy the excavation ones. And I love that it doesn’t romanticize the field too much, it can be pretty stressful and tense between people there. Some things that can be fixed a bit: - the music seemed to be the same no matter the situation, which hinders the immersion - if you go to settings or to save the game, the icon that is supposed to return you into the game doesn’t work 90% of the time Otherwise, great job, creators! ### 5/5 — Great story! *2018-10-30, version 1.1* A well done and heart felt story. Worth the money and lack of sleep to read. :) ### 5/5 — Juicy story *2018-09-19, version 1.1* It is so good.I barely write reviews. Most games bore me --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
