I've enjoyed what i played thus far and I have only found 2 bugs (one was fixed already) but the other one I haven't seen yet. It was one of Valarie's line not having sound (IE the voice didn't play). I have it written down at home and will let you know ASAP.

Thanks for the hard work on the episode. I'll be honest. It's fantastic. All the lol's we get from some choices and all the lovey dovey stuff. Kendo Club was great but this is even better. Keep it up, i might donate a few bucks when i get the chance On the sidenote, when i enter combat, (only sometimes, doesn't happen 100%), there's a grey window opening up telling me about some error, i just press ignore a few times and it goes back to the game, any idea of some fix? Need me to screenshot it?

There doesn't seem to be a thread for Episode 2 Bugs yet so I'll just throw these at you now: There doesn't seem to be voice acting with this line of Nikki's And I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that is not how you are supposed to hold swords. Wielded with the Power Of The Mind.

So. First of all i must again apology for my english which is as bad as ever, i'd also like to apology as i couldn't due to personal business play episode one nor was i able to provide feedback on episode two alpha.
As i begin this review i must say that i am incredibly surprised at how good these two episode were, and i'd like to congratulate the team behind what have the possibility to reach katawa shoujo levels.
First of all, the characters,
Mayu : I must start with her as it is simply my favorite character, she is even better in ace academy than she was in Kendo crush, her background, she is probably on Naoto level in term of cuteness, she is adorable, when she call you back after nodding, when she said "Private show" or when she is simply awkward damn she is simply great. Also the music scene honestely surprised me (The music was so fucking awesome by the way !) we could see her father influence, and of course (i hope) the bloom of a romance. In alpha test section someone said that Shou and Mayu should end up together my playthough showed me otherwise. Mayu crush on Shou is because he is what she want to be but shou simply hurt her, and we can see that in the music scene again where she said sadly that shou think music "Dumb" but also in the cafe scene and when valery meet the team. To the contrary the protagonist can really help Mayu, by the way he react on her outburst i honestly felt that they were both a great pairing. Onto another point the band idea was great, i can't wait to see how this will turn out to be. To conclude everything lead me to believe that mayu will be romanceable (Even if it is unconscious, mayu seem to be interested in the protagonist the way she react is enough proof.) the only thing that prevent me from writing in big letter on the Empire topic VICTORY is dishu's habit of trolling people. I'd finish to ask that you sent my congratulation on Alexandra, she was astonishing and on pro seiju level.
Shou : Just like i can't hate Kanji despite his obvious attraction for naoto (Another waifu of mine... I might have a thing for blue haired girl..) i can't hate shou. He was truly good in this episode, and i love how the protagonist can joke around with him, its funny and memorable moments. His bro con backstory is also truly interesting and i honestly wonder where it will lead.
Kaori : She became my second favorite character in the game... Easily. She was great in this part, as i discussed with cap'n its nice to see that you can tease her like in kendo crush, as i read in the alpha section, i was honestely disturbed with what was being said about Enjo-Kosai, damn it ! Enjo-Kosai is not that ! In any rate i found the character extremely well made the voice actress was also very good.
Yuuna : I honestely dont know about Yuuna she seem too perfect to be true and i hope that it will not evolve in a flyable heart situation. i didn't have the time tonight to play her events but the character is interesting and she is truly likable. Voice actress was also good, and wow she have relation everyfuckingwhere !
Valery : My only disappointement in the game, even though i didn't play her event she seem to hide something.. No its obvious that she hide something and flirt with the protagonist to obtain it, still wonder where it will lead. Oh, the french action was good which is a good point for the voice actress (Which was also great.)
Nikki : My little sister can't be this cute ! An adorable character very likable simply love her. The part with her friends was also funny as heck
Kaito : When i heard of Kaito i thought it would be simply a side character with no backstory. I was wrong, completely wrong. Its another thing i love about this visual novel is that every character is develloped.
IforgethisnameheistheopponentintheGearsmatch : I hope to see more of this guy he was just great best side character in the game.
Protagonist : Better than kendo crush, the protagonist is honestely interesting as you can evolve his personality by the event (Like after kaori scene with the kid "Sitting under a tree" where you could say it to kaito) but also that you can evolve his personality in four differents way, "Asshole, Coodere, Nice Guy, Shoulike" the fact that he is behind a truly nice guy (Mayu's music room event you have no choice so it can be said that his kindness to her is canon) but also when dealing with Kaori.
Then the choice, Ahhh oh nice to find some good old KC choice ! The references with the movie titles where great but also the Over nine thousand, the "Are you not entertained" It was simply fun and great.
The graphics, Nothing to say definitely on a pro level.
And finaly the minigame/rpg system.
Remember when i said i didn't like it while playing alpha test ? Forget it. I just love the fighting system, but also the perk system that permit unique dialogue, for a perfectionist like me it will take hour to see every choices a good point ! The timed choice are also nice.
- - - - - I'd also like to add that i love the fact that some no-sprite character are somehow develloped its interesting and refreshing to see, as most vn only focus on the main cast.
So to conclude, i'd say that the most interesting character in term of voice acting, writing graphics, sounds and backstory is definitely Mayu, this even though the rest is great (Especially the voice acting cast) i truly enjoyed mayu's event and i couldn't wait to have one of them. The writing cast also did a great job, it is well written with hints here and here about the futur (Like that Akira guy, he is definitely fishy), i must say that i have a great deal of respect for them as i can't begin to imagine the number of hour they spent for this. The graphist also as i said did a perfect job, the universe is just so beautifull. Of course the sound cast was also astonishing, and as i said mayu event was just great.
As for what i wait for episode 3, more events with Mayu and the girl, more awesome choice and references, overall it will be good as long as you keep up the good job ! (And that mayu is romanceable of course !)
You guys reminded me why i spent 50 euro in this game. Expect an upgrade of my pledge by tomorrow.
Overall note : 9/10

That was just the only one I could remember between Fever Dreams and Alcoholism.

I already played and will update my steam review tomorrow or sunday, but there's something that kinda bugged me. (spoiler alert) I played Kaori events including in the party (where she gets drunk). Then in the next day, if we play her event, the way how she interacts with the MC is so... Out of place? They don't talk about what happened nor does the MC even wonder if Kaori remembers last night. Basically, it kinda bugs me how they literally don't acknowledge what happened. Especially if we consider Kaori personality. Then there's also voices missing, swords floating, and then I also got a weird bug when I first fight with Shou, Kaori robot appeared out of nowhere and attacked Shou. But other than that, good work guys, can't wait for the next episodes
