His backstory is no great shock, but the way it is handled is a lot of fun, and he is so adorable! This game takes such a progressive approach to gender roles in games, especially otome games, and this makes me so happy. What a positive, fun and rewarding game to play! ### 5/5 — Loved it *2014-03-27* I really had fun with this(love the love stage!) Aki is my fav of the guys ^.^ ### 5/5 — Akio is my favorite <3 *2013-07-04* His story was so great and touching. The other stories are great too :) looking forward for the next one! :D ### 3/5 — Good but... *2013-02-26* The story seems very interesting, and I'm really thrilled to have gotten it, but there's an error. The sound menu won't close. Please fix! ### 5/5 — Super Adorable!! *2013-02-23, version 1.2.1* Aki chan was sooooooo cute. I won't spoil the game, but it's soooooo good! The voice actor for Akio has a super sexy voice!! The game was great fun, hard to guess and not cliche. Totally recommending this app!! ### 3/5 — May seem harsh, but... *2012-12-29* I was really disappointed with this visual novel. In my opinion, the story was somewhat flat and predictable, though it had its funny moments. For example, the carrot incident, which is immediately cut off by the game over. Speaking of which, the game gives you little to no freedom and forces you to take on the role of a character you know nothing about and guess what they're into. Sure, these choices are made fairly obvious by adhering to some humble hero standard, but doesn't that just make it less exciting? And if you make the wrong choice, you are sent to the beginning of the stage (which makes sense since you are in a game, but is still annoying as crap). Also, the art was actually painful to look at. There were few instances where I saw any of the characters as attractive, and it was really only the princess. I had my doubts about this VN to begin with, but seeing all the praise it was receiving as well as it being one of the few visual novels in the app store, I decided to buy it. After playing the VNs "Scar of the Doll" and "Moe Cure Net" for both a dollar each, I may have had high expectations from more expensive novels. "Kira*Kira" and "Tears 9, 10" were able to satisfy, but this just didn't seem well worth the price to me. Sorry. 3/5 Would not recommend. (I tried to format this review for easy reading.) ### 5/5 — Great *2012-12-08* Okay, I'll be honest; after I played through the game once, I set it down and forgot about it for three months. Today, I found it again in the very back of all my iPhone's pages of apps. I remembered how the game had appealed to me the first time, so I clicked it and started playing from the very beginning, the prologue. Oh boy. Sucked into the storyline immediately, I read and read until I was finished. I enjoyed the fairly hard choices to make each stage-- they were much harder than most otome game's choices. Akio was utterly adorable, and may I mention that his voice acting was perfect? His adult version was sexy and his child version was adorable. The voices were great. I will admit I was a bit taken back by the artwork sometimes. There were many occasions where the characters just looked plain weird. Still, the characters and plotline are well worth it. I found myself less bothered by the art by the fifth chapter than I could have imagined. Excellent story. Can't wait for the new ones. ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-10-29, version 1.1* The art work isn't the prettiest but the story was incredibly fun. I've never had a Otome game give me sore cheeks from smiling. Great work ;) ### 5/5 — Amazing game! *2012-10-23* Omg, I loved it! The characters, plot, voice acting, it was all very well done! The storyline is very enjoyable, and has a lot of funny moments. As far as pricing goes, I think this app is reasonably priced when you consider the content (bgm and voice acting). Anyways, can't wait for the latest installment! ## Frequently asked questions about East Tower ### What is East Tower - Akio about?
