I've now done all five romances as well as various side plots and I adore this game. There's some moderately in depth non-romantic storylines I totally missed the first time through. The love interests cover a nice range, you don't get to dictate your player's responses that much within each romance but there should be at least one to suit anyone, and even the ones that aren't my thing were enjoyable. All but one of the romances can be played as a friendmance (in some cases simultaneously with another romance, which can useful if you screw up :D) and most of the dialogue is the same, I think you could play as aromantic and still enjoy it. And nobody bats an eyelid at same sex relationships/asexual characters etc, and there's acknowledgement of non binary gendered people though you can't really play as one (I did anyway :))

Once again, ensemble cast with lots of canonically queer women plus speculative elements = my eternal devotion. I tried the demos for some other dating sims but either they were too straight or it was mostly being a secretary doing photocopying in her lunchbreak (FUNTIMES) or it just didn't click.

And now even though NOBODY CARES I am going to do a picspam and squee. No major spoilers but if you don't want ANY info you should go play it first, or at least the free demo.
