I paid for this game earlier today and I've just finally completed it. I thought the beginning of the game was a bit slow-paced, but once the story started to pick up, I found myself really enjoying it!
The art style did take a bit of getting used to, but I did used to play those old PS1 games, so I found myself appreciating the art style more and more as the game went on.
And without giving away any spoilers, I really liked how the romantic subplot ended up "tying in" to how Zakumi fought in the Keizudo fights.
And I didn't know in advance whether the love triangle would be resolved in favor of Akemi or Yayoi, but once the love triangle was resolved (without giving away any spoilers as to what the resolution is), I did enjoy how both Akemi and Yayoi's stories ended.
So in summary, this was a good game; thank you very much for making it!
