So the thing about this academy, right, is that everyone walks around like they just stepped out of a render queue. Big ass, big tits, the whole deal. The brunette with the ink, she's got this way of leaning against the doorway during the party sequence that makes you forget what class you're supposed to be in. I kept clicking through dialogue just to see if she'd shift her weight again. The animation isn't some Pixar level shit but it does this thing where a hip tilts or a shoulder drops and suddenly you're not thinking about the "art" part of art school at all.

My save file is a mess. Like seventeen different points because I kept wondering what happens if you're a total dick during the teasing scenes. Sometimes the male protagonist just stands there with this dumb expression and the girl keeps going, and going, and the loop is almost hypnotic. I wish the tattoo on that one character was more visible during the animated bits, it kind of fades into the skin texture when the lighting changes. Won't be fixed, I know. The 3DCG models have that slightly glossy look, you know the one, like everyone just finished moisturizing. It works for the party scenes where the lighting is warm but in the classroom it's a bit much. Reminds me of those old renders people used to post on Renderotica back in the day.

The teasing mechanic is basically the whole game. You pick a line, she reacts, the camera does this slow pan that's supposed to be artistic but we all know what it's actually doing. There's this one moment where the brunette catches you looking and the expression change is genuinely good, like she knows exactly what's happening and she's not mad about it. That's the loop, that's why I kept reloading. Not for the "hundreds of choices" or whatever the blurb says, but for that split second where the mask slips. The male protagonist could have more personality though, he's just a camera with a dick half the time. Anyway the party scene with the balcony, that's the one. You'll know it when you see it.
