Idk about the other routes but for June's I thought the story was pretty good and at the end I really enjoyed the video showing like the collage of them working on the art and play testing and stuff. But I would say there was a few things that threw me off. The two biggest issues I have with this game are the english translation problem and the pay for choices thing. In a multi choice game I find it utterly ridiculous that choices are paywalled. Otome games like these are litterly multi choice so you're litterly paywalling the main feature of the game like that. People complained alot about how greedy this game was but honestly I don't see that big a problem with anything else they're paywalling BESIDES THE MAIN FEATURE. I think it would vastly improve the games quality if they just removed that one thing. Everything else you have to spend batteries on makes sense to me, like the profile picture thing and calls and stuff like that those all make sense. Just the making you spend batteries to choose what message to send it horrendously greedy and stupid in my opinion. I promise people will still purchase batteries for all the other features they can spend it on like goodness. I hate to compare but just for reference sake in this one aspect ; I know very well people were throwing their money at Mystic Messenger for hour glasses back in the day and that game didn't paywall the reply feature. Anyways though another issue I've run into is poor translation. I'm not sure how they translated the game but they should definitely re-review the translations. In the messages I, You and they were mixed up alot, like for example when mc would be talking about June instead of saying "you" or "him" when talking about him, the messages would read "I" and "me" wich confused me multiple times because then it seems like we were talking about ourselves. And if I'm remembering correctly June would do the same thing when talking about MC or other characters and even Piu Piu did it a couple of times. It was a little immersion breaking but besides that I didn't notice any other big translation errors. Besides those two things I thought the game was fun, I adore the art style for June and Henri and thought the art was pretty for those two (Not so much Harry and Teo's art style but I'm not gonna get into that since that can be chalked up to personal preference with finding that style ugly) At the end of June's route they hint that Minha and K downloaded the ssum so my main wish for the future is that they actually add routes for those two (Specifically Minha I really have to praise her character I LOVE her she's one of the best female characters I've come across in an otome game and I really hope they follow through with the hinting and make her romance able!!) MAKE MINHA AN OPTION PLEASE ### 3/5 — Add the Spanish language *2026-07-06, version 2.1.29* Es bueno el juego pero agreguen el español porfa 😭😭😭 ### 3/5 — SPANISH SUBTITULES PLS *2026-03-31, version 2.1.23* cuando van a subir el juego en español??? en serio quiero jugarlo pero solo esta en inglés:( ### 4/5 — Me encantaría que estuviera en español *2026-01-27, version 2.1.23* No le doy las 5 estrellas por que aún no hay versión en español. Espero que con el tiempo la tengan al igual que con Mystic Messenger ### 3/5 — Suggestion for improvement *2026-01-24, version 2.1.23* The game is quite fun and entertaining, but many people in the Spanish-speaking community would like the game to be available in Spanish. This would help more players who are not familiar with English understand the story and fully enjoy the game. ### 2/5 — Bugs *2026-01-08, version 2.1.23* Good game that has constant failures ### 3/5 — Good-ish game with two big problem *2026-01-04, version 2.1.23* Not a bad game at all I was honestly expecting something worse going in given the reviews I've read but it's actually a pretty decent experience I've played June's route and I thought it was pretty good I really like the concept of like a long route in otome game's so I thought that was fun more content is always a good thing in my opinion.

Sin embargo, lo dejé porque me aburría no tenerlo en español. He estado esperando a que lo traduzcan para volver, pero no ha pasado… Yo sí pagaba la mensualidad para disfrutar el juego por completo, y genuinamente me gustaba mucho. ### 4/5 — Game *2025-10-21, version 2.1.23* Very good game, I hope they put it in Spanish soon. ### 2/5 — Dissapointing Cash-Grab Game. *2025-09-14, version 2.1.20* From pictures, messages, rven priv acc, NEEDS to be unlocked with in game currency which you CANT help to use money. Dissapointing. Even the characters private acc you need to subscribe to open it? THE GAP BETWEEN FREE PLAYERS AND SUBSCRIPTION THATS TOO OVERPRICED ARE TOO BIG. Please listen tk the complain of the community Cheritz. ### 3/5 — 비쌈 *2025-09-13, version 2.1.20* 비슷한 류 게임들과 비교해봤을때 가격 매우 비싼편이라고 생각됩니다. 보통 이런 미연시류 게임은 2만원 언저리만 결제해도 영구적으로 꽤나 여유있게 즐길 수 있는데...여긴 그렇게 하려면 월정액으로 3만원 가깝게 내야한다는 게...참...그렇다고 그 게임들에 비해 엄청나게 고퀄리티냐고 하면 그것도 아니구요. 기능이나 컨텐츠는 물론 비슷한 게임들보다 많지만 가격을 내리거나 월정액이 아닌 영구적인 아이템으로서 만들어야 맞다고 생각합니다. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor English localisation and absurdly expensive monthly sub for a mobile app/game at this quality *2026-09-04, version 2.1.29* Back when I started in 2022 at launched, when it’s only Teo, I don’t remember the characters text, MC replies are this awful and cringe. Crazy paywall to bait the FOMO (thankfully I’m not) where some text/photo conveniently ‘failed to download’. Monthly sub is more expensive than FFXIV online which offers so much contents with impeccable English localisation and nicer art. What a joke. Coming back in 2026 makes me disappointed with Cheritz. Hard to believe this is the company that made Mystic Messenger. ### 1/5 — was war hier los *2026-07-22, version 2.1.29* es gab eine zeit wo ein typ einen anderen typ belästigt hat das war echt weird keine ahnung warum die das gemacht haben sehr merkwürdig sehr sehr merkwürdig ### 1/5 — Bad game *2026-04-25, version 2.1.23* It’s not a good game. Really disappointed it doesn’t even make sense the dialogues don’t make sense the gameplay itself doesn’t make any sense and also it’s crazy how much you have to wait for the conversations which are super boring and confusing and also huge money grabbers ### 1/5 — My data was erased!!!! *2026-01-03, version 2.1.23* Why did I get logged out and have to start from the beginning? All my data was erased. What’s going on? ### 1/5 — Spanish *2025-10-23, version 2.1.23* Español pls ### 1/5 — Error *2025-09-30, version 2.1.21* I can't open my notification for this game ### 1/5 — Linear game *2025-07-21, version 2.1.17* Can’t choose dialog options unless using in game currency, the graphics are nothing compared to mystic messenger, too crowded and complicated UI, linear gameplay, uninteresting characters. ### 1/5 — Poor Service, Cant Login *2025-07-11, version 2.1.17* Paid the Rainbow package, and suddenly got logged out of the game, lost the access and keep showing “apple login failed”. Wasting my time and money for something that is not even my fault. Poor experience after paying a lot for a mediocre simulation game. No response after emailing and contact for help. Disappointed with Cheritz when I genuinely tried this game because MM was good. ### 1/5 — Awful Season 2 Update *2024-10-01, version 2.1.9* I wrote and submitted this review before but for some reason it was never published? Weird. Anyway, beware of this game. It makes excuses for SA and completely brushes it under the rug like it’s nothing. It happens on June’s route and his ex-girlfriend tried to SA him and the excuse is that she was going through an identity crisis. Ab*se of any kind is NOT okay no matter what reason whether it be mental health issues/identity issues or whatever else and the fact that this game tries to make excuses for it is sickening. June himself was uncomfortable with her but at the end of the route he's fine with her and even becomes friends with her in one of the epilogues. And everyone else seems to brush it underneath the rug, including some of the choices you can say nice things about her despite knowing what she did. It's disgusting and what's worse is that there are NO consequences to her crime and the other person who helped her. No jail time, nothing, just a sorry excuse for an apology that including blaming June for "letting" her bully him while they dated when they were younger (he was timid and sickly when they dated but it was obvious by his reactions that he didn't like it). I’m beyond disgusted and that whole route (Henri’s too) was a waste of time. The game was fine at first with Teo and Harry but this? No. ### 1/5 — LOWER THE PRICES *2024-09-24, version 2.1.9* THE PRICES ARE ABSURD LOWER IT NOW ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — spanish xfi *2026-07-29, version 2.1.29* JUNEEE I LOVE YOUUU ### 5/5 — Idioma *2026-07-21, version 2.1.29* Por favor, póngalo en español también! ### 5/5 — Spanish *2026-07-19, version 2.1.29* Harry mi one and only ajjahs <3 ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2026-07-11, version 2.1.29* No he podido jugarlo por mucho tiempo debido a que estoy ocupado la mayor parte del tiempo, pero me gustaría que algún día esté en español ### 5/5 — Update *2026-06-17, version 2.1.29* Hi I love the game but I didn’t know this game existed till this year when are you guys going to update your game I finished 2 routes Henri and June I would love to get more routes with Henri and June. Cheritz you both game and great ### 5/5 — 매일 기분좋게 일어날수 있어요 꼭하세요 *2026-02-25, version 2.1.23* 사람연구 가능, 거울치료 가능입니다 ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-02-19, version 2.1.23* Love the characters love the story in all the route. You guys did a great job with the voice actors. This is my second favorite game I played. There is one thing that needs to be improved is the post it needs to have a translator so people can know what they’re asking. Please add that to the update ### 5/5 — Fell in love, with the game ;) *2026-02-13, version 2.1.23* This has honestly been a great game. So engaging and I look forward to playing each day for each little piece. My only wish is they update with a new character to keep the fun going. I know the community would LOVE that. And of, course maybe extend some of the stories 👀 ### 5/5 — More days *2025-10-21, version 2.1.23* I really love the concept that they get to be a part of my routine. I like Henri a lot so if possible, please give him more days. 30 days if not enough TT_TT ### 5/5 — Por favor *2025-06-10, version 2.1.16* Apenas juego este juego, y me interesa mucho, pero el tema es que no sé inglés, y no puedo jugar bien sin salirme del juego y traducir las palabras, te suplico por favor que pongas una opción de idioma en español en el inicio, se que a varias personas de tu comunidad les encantaría, tenlo por seguro, una vez más, te suplico que lo pongas en español, y si alguna vez, revisas esta reseña y lo haces, te lo agradecería demasiado 😢😭🩷🩷 ( amo tus juegos enserio) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
