My first post on here...and I thought, why not open it with my feedback on the preview of so [enter as many praises as you can think of here] VN in progress. I first came across this game...I think it was, somewhere in early 2009 (Or somewhere close) and since I've came across the term 'Visual Novel' for the first time in my life, I thought to myself that this game isn't even worth a look. Well was I wrong? Oh yes I was, and I couldn't be more wrong than that. First of all, before I actually found this page through a link on one other forum...I was very very sceptical, why? Because the author of the thread, said the game was nothing but a sadistic sexual humiliation of people with disabilities. And you can guess what kind of look I had on my face at that particular moment, can you? Let me help you...it was a mix of those 'wtf?!', 'seriously' and 'oh my god...that's awful' faces.
But still, even though I didn't want to even check the link, it still haunted me...it was looking me right in my eyes, right into my soul [enter melodramatic scene here]...and since I can be like a cat sometimes...I had to click it and see what's this all about. I never bothered to look at the forum discussion first, I simply downloaded the game and went on to see what's this disgusting VN all about. And I also wanted to see what's a VN xD.
So I downloaded act 1 in couple of days, and it didn't took me much to actually start the game. I was in luck that, at the time, there was spring break going on...so I had time to chill-out at my balcony and play the game on my laptop. The scenery was beautiful, and luckily I still remember it. I mean...the scenery around my house (the summer breeze and fresh air), and for the first few moments of the game, I was still sceptical. Mostly because I didn't even know what VN stood for, but it didn't take me long to realize that this game is like some sort of modern time novel (well...duh xD).
I don't know how long I played the game, but I never looked on any site about this game until I completed the game (or at least the preview of the game). I decided that after my first choice, I will play this game exactly how I would acted in real life, if I was in that kind of situation. Finally, this game led me to end up with no one other than Hanako, and I don't regret any moment that I clicked those choices, which made me end up playing chess with Hanako.
I did play the game two more times after it; and ended up with Shizune and Kenji's (damn...I laughed so hard at that one xD) endings. So...back to my first time playing the game; After I got rid of any bad comments (and that was mostly because I couldn't find any xD) I maybe had stored somewhere in the back of my head, I finally managed to enjoy the game too it's fullest. Right from the start, from the first time 'I' went towards the library, all the way to final moments of chess, I was dragged towards Hanako. She was the first character that got my full attention (except from Dr. House teacher and...somewhat...creppy head nurse xD), and after I made few choices that led me to having lunch with Lilly and Hanako...I was blasted and amazed. I myself couldn't believe how similar Hanako's personality is to mine (and the 'step on only darker spots' game...xD it's awesome
) and I soon realized how this game is deep itself if you want too see it as a deep game.
Why do I even say that? Because at the moment when Hanako 'said' "Thank you for hanging out with me", my heart was melted and I really started liking this upcoming game to it's maximum. In the process of playing the game however, I tried to be objective, but even though I did try to look at all of the characters in the same level, there was just this purple girl who caught my heart (seriously...that does sound weird, but I really like her character). So to finish up this LONG post....
...I will just say that I won't play this game anymore, until the full game releases, because I really want to see what happens in my first full playthrough.
Either way; I give this preview a score of 9,5/10
Why? Because the story so far is perfect 10, the soundtrack is a almost a perfect ten 9,5 (I don't know...it is missing something like Karma from Ever 17, which I played as my second VN), the characters are perfect 10 (because there is a healthy mix of every sort of wanted character in the game...from deep down warm Shizune, hyper-active Misha, shy and cute Hanako, sheppard Lilly and silly guy Kenji xD).
I just want to know...since I've read FAQ, but still...Is it true that H-scenes will be able to be skipped in the full game? Because I myself am not all that for them...but I just don't know is that decision still there
So sorry for this long wall of text, and I hope I won't have any problems on this site xD See you all around here somewhere ^^
I'm really looking forward to the full release 
The only thing that caught my eye, which I can use the word *wrong* on, is Kenji... There's definitely something wrong with him 
He must either be a crazed madman or a brilliant genius. However, his theories of female conspiracies have opened my eyes! His logic is flawless 
What a world, what a world.
