    Gakko No Monogatari - School Story [v0.17]
    Story of a rural students moving in with his hot Aunt in Tokyo for better sex education.

    Gameplay and Mechanics
    Just a mix-up of JAV porn clips with a bad UI and ratios, The buttons expanding every time you want to click is just bad, makes the navigation frustrating.
    I found myself repeating a pattern of buttons just so I can talk to a girl for the same dialogue.
    Too grindy without much content, that feels like a chore.
    What I actually hated is more that half the girls in the school are not even interactable, same for half of the locations.

    Story
    Dev had one job, Just take a bunch of JAV stories and output the most taboo result, but that seems to be messed up and non coherent too. Awkward dialogue and characters shifting the colours too fast, which breaks the sense of slow sexual tension that most JAV incest videos have.
    Too many missed opportunites for being a game of a pervert in a new city, stuck in a house with 3 hot babes.
    Even a copy paste of actuall JAV plots would be better than this.The story could’ve been so much dirtier and darker, but it plays out like someone trying to rush through their first porn script.


    Characters
    The girls seem to shift the nature in a day, like why tf would Kira even think of fucking her cousin, when she was thinking he was a degen pig? Wasn't MC supposed to slowly win her over?
    Ema was supposed to fall in love with you, instead she is just a BJ machine. And Aunt wasn't suppposed to give in so fast.
    MC can spike the drink of a teacher and rape and blackmail her, but cant touch his Aunt in sleep?Why even bother creating such scenarios if you’re going to half-ass them?
    The Mother arc and the schoolgirls is so hopeless I dont even wanna talk about it.

    Graphics and Sound
    This is the only good part of the game, good clips and multiple clips for the same sex action make the scenes less boring.
    Sound design is decent, I loved how when you are near kitchen during meal time you can hear the Aunt cooking, I dont know if that is a bug or feature, but welcomed either way. It adds to immersion.

    Replay Value
    Due to its repetitive nature and lack of engaging content, the game offers limited replay value, there’s no incentive to return without significant updates or new content.

    Personal Opinion
    Wasted potential, with next to nothing apart from the linear story. It could’ve been one that push boundaries and deliver taboo fantasies without holding back as it is a JAV compilation, DO IT LIKE THE JAPANESE. Instead, it feels rushed, incoherent, and frustratingly limited in scope.

    Pros:
    • Good Sex Scenes.
    • Great ingame Guide to navigate through the mess.

    Cons:
    • Weak Storytelling and interactions.
    • Mix of AI is just unnesseary
    • Too many useless locations and characters.
    • NO ANAL?
    • NO THREESOME?
    • What's the point of toilets if there is no gloryhole and I cant rape random girls in there?

    Potential Additions:
    • In-depth Storyline, Each girl is unique so must be approached with different interactions. I want Kira to HATE ME and I want to win her pussy.
    • Different paths to bond with girls, like you can either rape your way in or play it slow and passionate.
    • Expanding the taboos- needs pregnancy, more rape, BDSM, blackmail.
    • Expanding the avenues of interaction- finding a classmate at a whorehouse? you following me?

    Game is just not good. Story is basically you are living with your aunt and cousins. So, you wake up, have breakfast, masturbate, get caught by your aunt, check her taking a bath, smell her bra and now she is sucking your dick.

    Your cousin? Study with her a few times, you catch her having sex in her bedroom and she tells you her mom doesn't know (even though you could hear it through the walls). You go in, tell her to suck your dick.

    Gameplay wise, it's pointless clicking with a lot of missing content that leads to broken code.

    I think it has a lot of potential but it is frustrating to play.

    Why do you have to repeat the same event like "have lunch with _____" 5 times to progress? It's not even like the dialogue or images change with each iteration, you just have to waste a lot of time. And most of the events are like that.

    The stat progression is also really slow.

    I played for a few hours and only got like a handful of softcore porn.

    And the navigation could use some polishing too. The house is unnecessarily split up into different rooms that are layered between floors and stuff. Kitchen and dining room could totally be the same thing. Why do we need two bathrooms? Why do I have to go to the living room before going to the kitchen?

    All events are triggered after doing the same thing x times which is really boring and navigating around is way too many clicks to get around the places. Why is the house locations spread across 3 different screens? Also half the buttons lead to an error and havent actually been implemented yet it seems like.

    A very promising game. Through the trailer, this will really be a big project for Dev, with many promising female characters. I used to feel uninterested when reading the content that Dev intended to create. But after playing through v0.03, I had to think again. With a strong and attractive cast of female characters, I believe we can look forward to this game. This can be considered the Man of the school version, the perfect replacement for Corpo Life. Good luck, Dev.

    Honestly, I don't get how this and the dev's other game are so highly rated. They're both EXTREMELY grindy daily life simulators. They may be more realistic than most games because girls don't fall for the MC in a day, but that means it takes forever for anything to happen. It doesn't help at all that there are tons of fodder locations without content bloating the screen, both the home and the school have two floors, forcing you to click around more than absolutely necessary, and that only Remu seens to have hints on how to progress.

    Even if the dev wants this to be a slow paced, slice of life kind of game, pacing should improve somehow. The bare minimum would be to give more lines and gifs when you chat with girls, so it feels less repetitive. I'd argue for removing stats, add random events and remove multiple floors in locations so you have to click around less.

    Honestly, I want to like this game because I'm a weaboo, but I don't think I can come back to it if pacing doesn't improve by a lot.

    While it is still in early development, this games shows some good potential. It shows a wide cast of characters and flags, has a pretty good UI and some really good quality scenes.

    However as of today, it fails in many points:
    • some sections of the map are not developed yet still available to access, this may cause player that are not familiar with the UI to consider it a softlock
    • As far as I know, many tags displayed on this page, such as sleep sex or pregnancy, are not currently available in-game
    • It contains some pretty awkward text (shy neko) and character interactions
    I wish good luck to the developers and hope to see more feature available in the next few months

    Way to many placeholders that doesn't really work, error on top of errors. The Ai art feels cheap and not very good, jarring with the good AV scenes.

    As of right now, not a lot have happened, so it's pretty bareboned, quite a few generic scenes that act as fillers. I’ll give it 2/5 as it still shows that there is potential in the game, but ehhh I don’t know how much the dev is going to develop beyond that. I suggest waiting a couple of years, after the dev have develop the game a bit more, before playing the game.

    edit: holy shit the dev added ads to the public version, man what a clown.

    A definite game to play for JAV lovers, along with Corpo Life. Just finished the 0.02 build, and, though there aren't too many content inside, I already love the framework of the game and be quite optimistic on the future of the game. Though this is more of a VN rather than a game, but it surely delivers what is promised.

    Had a minor issue with the sidebar size as well as the icon/image size in the sidebar, but it doesn't detract too much from the gameplay. I wish there would be more youthful actresses from the 2015-2020 era, but I'm glad that this game also introduces me to the newer era actresses in a fun, engaging way.

    I am certainly looking forward to more updates on this game.

    As someone who's been riding the Corpo Life wave for a while, I gotta say, hearing about the dev rolling out a new game is super exciting. I'm really digging the new UI – it's slick and user-friendly. (Hey dev, any chance we can get this quick nav feature back in Corpo Life too?)

    It's a bummer we won't see Karen in GnM, but hey, Mei from the trailer? She's definitely got charm. Fingers crossed we see Saeko, Yua, and Yuna join the gang soon.

    Major kudos to the dev for nailing it with Corpo Life. Judging from what we've seen so far, this new game is shaping up to be even cooler, especially with that neat UI. It's clean, easy on the eyes, and that 'Inner Thoughts' thing on the sidebar? Genius. But hey, there's always room to amp things up. Making it more dynamic, changing things up based on different scenes, would be awesome.

    Keep up the great work, dev! Can't wait to see how it all turns out.

    Horrible dialogue and story. This is just a collection of Japanese and Korean porn clip. The entire game plays like a video reel. The dev learned nothing from his previous "game" which was exactly the same as this one.

    I'm a patron playing on 0.03, but for the sake of potential players, let me drop a review based on 0.01.

    So, as a supporter on Patreon, the Dev rolled out 0.01 for us Senior Managers tier about a month ago. The initial Patreon release was solid, but this public release is even better. Back on Patreon, it was just Ririko as an interactable NPC with only 7 scenes. But lo and behold, for the 0.01 public version, the dev threw in part of Ema's scene, which was initially slated for 0.02. Not complaining though, I'm actually digging it.

    This game's a significant step up from Corpo Life (which was already good). The right-side bar info for the NPCs you interact with is a real game-changer! Hoping you'll add that to the Corpo Life game as well.

    Keep doing your thing, dev! I'm all in for the support.
