Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This results in having to go through trial-and-error to figure out all keys, some of which aren't the most obvious (like in party creation renaming your characters from the default name requires a backspace - which is bound to the Insert key of all things).

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It has nothing particularly special about it – it's made with RPG Maker, the story is laughably silly, and the gameplay is pretty much what you'd expect from a typical turn-based RPG.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The two biggest problems I have with the game is that combat grows repeteitive and boring if you play for more than an hour or two, and the fact that regardless of whether you put down your gender as male, female, gay or straight, you are always playing as a male character trying to save a woman, since the main character has no personality beyond wanting to save a the girl (yeah, she's not actually your girlfirend yet, despite the name of the game) I don't understand why your can't play as a female trying to rescue a man, or a homosexual female, or a male trying to rescue a male, all that it would have required was a skin change for the main character and a couple of alternate pieces of still art, if there was any animation or voice acting in the game then I would understand, but there isn't and the game asks you your gender and sexual preference at the beggining so I don't understand this decision.
