Hello homies, Voltage released their latest app earlier this month. I had a chance to sit down and play the prologue. And as always you'll find a detailed review below the cut. Here's my review! Hope you enjoy it!
September 1, 2015
The prologue opens with the MC dreaming of when she confessed her feelings to her first love only to be rejected. The MC runs into him again on her way to work the night day. To her surprise she finds out that he know works at the same company; they'll also be working on the same project! She wonders if the dream the night before was fate's way of telling her to try again. She returns home to the cafe in her apartment building and learns that her five childhood friends have returned for various reasons. They now reside in the same apartment complex again. Seeing them brings back memories of the fun filled moments of your childhood. She decided to confess to her first love again only to receive more heartbreak. Her childhood friends rally around you to cheer up; one of the guys does something unexpected. Maybe there is someone else out there for her after all.

DETAILED REVIEW
Plot: I really loved the prologue of this game! I love the idea of falling in love with a best friend. It really felt well written and was able to build a believable world through its characters. The flow felt realistic even though a lot happened in a short amount of time.
This is one of Voltage's most realistic plot lines in my opinion. Who hasn't thought back to their first major crush or first love especially when things didn't work out. Sometimes you may wonder what they would think of you if they could see you in present day. I know when I was single I would sometimes think back and wonder about stuff like that. The game also has one of my favorite Voltage elements which is seeing the characters grow up!
The MC: She's like your normal MC. I would say she's a little less annoying when it comes to work. Her emotions made since and she seemed a little more mature than some of Voltage's previous MCs. She was a little dense, but that can be a common Voltage MC trait.
Design: This app is beautiful!!! The color scheme is A+. Voltage really knows how to catch your eye with their apps' designs.
They also brought back the whole profile that additional information and images. They also help give you more insight into each character.
The Guys: The designs! *clutches chest* The guys look amazing! They are all well written too. Typically I cannot stand tsunderes, but even Ichiya was interesting to me. This may be one of those games were I have to buy all of the routes.
It's interesting that Hiro is still an option considering what he said to the MC. I wonder what his route will be like.
Ugh can we talk about how cute they all are as kids!!!!
Routes I Want to Purchase: All
That's it for my review! I highly suggest you give the prologue a try. Voltage is really trying to take all my money, but I ain't mad at em. I woulda cracked and bought some routes today, but I'll be getting my first iphone soon and the purchases won't be able to go over. So, I'll just have to wait >_< I'm heading to Houston for a work trip tomorrow and then I'll be spending a day with my friend in Austin. I've never been to Texas before, so I'm excited. Have a goodnight!
