A Quick (Not Really) Review of SSS – SAKURA School Simulator Review

Hello! So, I've been a fan of this game for over a year. It's always been my go-to game to play whenever I have free time, and it's absolutely adorable. I could go on and on about how awesome this game is, but I'm not gonna do that today. I need to make some suggestions for things to add to the game. However, keep in mind (to anyone reading this) that I'm NOT BASHING THIS GAME! As I said before, it's a wonderful game and I love it. So, with the introduction out of the way...here are my suggestions for future updates! #1. More Player/NPC Interactions So, in this game--when you click on the Talk button near an NPC, a few interactions come up. These include Talk, Kiss, Hug, Give, Follow Me, and other options. This is already a good system, but I believe it can be improved. For example, when you get a friend in the game, you just sweet-talk them for like 5 minutes and then they're your best friend for life. This is the same as getting a lover, which is literally just talking to your target NPC for a while until they start constantly saying "I love you." and following you around whenever you enter the same room as them. One way that this could be expanded on is by adding things like NPCs developing crushes on the player and confessing to them (thus prompting them to say something like "I like you too" or "Sorry, I don't feel the same way about you".), and vice-versa (the player confessing to an NPC, whose response would be one of those two I suggested above. Their response would be determined by a love meter, which would increase the more time you spend hanging out with them.) I also believe that--when you are trying to become someone's acquaintance, you should be required to wait until a cooldown has expired to continue speaking to them, and if you continue to bother them your relationship will slightly go down. However, this would not occur when building relationships from Friend to Close Friend. #2. Emotion Improvements Onto my second suggestion. When I've played the game and spoken to NPCs, they've always seemed sort of..robotlike. I guess that makes sense because they're controlled by code, but still. One way to improve this would be to--when you're calling your friends on the phone--add more responses other than "Does not answet the phone" or "I'm coming now." You could, for example, add things like "Sorry, I'm busy right now!" (if the NPC is in a good mood) or "I'm not coming over." (if their mood is low) Conclusion If you're seeing this, that means you took the time to read my dumb and incredibly long review. Good job, here's a sticker! On a more serious note..to the creators of SSS, please don't feel pressured to add my suggestions, and please know I'm not criticizing your awesome game. You can add whatever you want! It's your game, after all. I'll probably never put this kind of effort and thought into an appstore review, but at least I did it once. Anyways, thank you to whoever is reading this, and goodbye for now! -cakeymuffiins
