This is easily the best dating simulator I've played, though my knowledge of the genre is not extensive, and really what it boils down to is some great writing. The other elements are there too of course, the art and the music are very good, the interface does its job without getting in your way, and so on. It takes something special, though, to get me to care about the dating lives of a bunch of high schoolers.

Every character in this has some sort of disability - blind / deaf / heart condition / etc. The gimmick is kind of silly, but they deal with it well and it winds up being a big part of what rounds out the characters.

I should note that there's nudity in this. You can turn it off in the options if you're against that sort of thing. On the other hand, if you're not against that sort of thing and are hoping for porn you may be disappointed - there's a lot of game to play through before anyone takes their clothes off.
