Unity - Heartstrings [Alpha 2] [Alien Cat Games]

I played this twice for some reason. It is an original approach to a cliché scenario. The strength of the initial focus on the theme of the story seems interesting to me, although it is not fully developed, so the continuation may take a different direction—but that is part of the charm.

The strength of this game lies in its vitality and how its characters are presented, their way of interacting with the player, and their characterization. They are not lacking in substance, so there will always be some that are interesting and consequently some that are not, which makes it quite refreshing.

The protagonist's approach is thoughtful and somewhat deep, which feels unusual for someone his age—something that ties into the game's narrative itself. It is up to each player to judge whether this is good or bad.

It is an early version, so there are elements of the development that are not polished, such as the map or mobility, but the direction is clear, so I assume this is intentional.

The eroticism is well-balanced for what the developer intends to tell (I think), but personally, I wouldn’t leave it aside, even if it is a slow burn.

Nice piece of work, I'll keep an eye on it from time to time.

Math teacher is the best. Period

The game is extremely well polished. Certainly a surprise!

Devs who put so much effort into their work are always an inspiration to me.

It could use a little more H content, but I'm confident it'll be added in the future. The developer seems to be fully committed to their project. So that's a very positive sign.

Worth checking out!

I think this game will eventually blow up.
The art style is different, the girls are cute and interesting, and the UI is good.
The animations are incredible, I wish there were more!

There are flaws, a bit slow at the beginning, but for an early release it is great.

I give 5 stars for the animation style, it's different from the other games I've played.

The animation is good, the game itself is good too, it's only alpha 2 but I think the game will get better with all the updates.

There are also flaws like in most other games, but I haven't seen any yet!

People are going to tell me that I'm exaggerating and that I'm giving it 5 stars just for fun, but it's true, I'm giving it 5 stars and I'm exaggerating, because personally, the game is too good! LONG LIVE THE NEXT UPDATES!!!

The 3D backgrounds, characters, and animations offer a refreshing change from the usual visual novel graphics.
The characters seem to be thoughtfully designed with depth and personality, hinting at the potential for compelling development.
This demo holds a lot of promise, and I’m genuinely excited to watch how the project evolves.
I'm looking forward to the next update

Here's my thoughts about Heartstrings (v1.0 Alpha). I played through the move/house installation and first day at school.

• I actually liked the unique art style. A breath of fresh air. Especially the animated discussion scenes.
• Interesting family background.
• Great soundtrack and ambience.
• I absolutely LOVED the early 00s setting. Old computers, old cellphones, etc. Very nostalgic for someone born in the 1980s.

Other thoughts:

• A school map would make navigation a lot easier.
• It takes a long time before there's even a small hint of lewdness. You need patience. This game is not a quick fap.
• There are some stats but I'd prefer a more detailed skill system. The game's made in Unity so the possibilities should be pretty endless on that front.

All in all a very promising game that I'll keep my eyes on!
