About this game
The achievement for getting Midnight to actually laugh at one of your jokes is bugged. I spent twenty minutes clicking through dialogue trees, trying different combinations, and the counter never moved. Typical. The whole thing feels like someone's first Ren'Py project they abandoned halfway through, which honestly adds to the charm. You're some guy who got into UA, and suddenly you're surrounded by hero course students who all seem weirdly available. The point and click stuff is basic, find the item, click the girl, watch the scene. No puzzles, no challenge. Just vibes.
The animation quality is all over the place. One scene with Kyoka Jiro has this surprisingly smooth loop where she's adjusting her earphone jacks, and I caught myself watching it for way too long. Then the very next scene with Toru Hagakure, you know, the invisible girl, is just a floating school uniform with some awkward clipping issues. I guess animating nothing is harder than it looks. The sound design is nonexistent except for this one stock moan that plays on repeat during every single encounter. By the third girl, I was losing my mind. I started muting the tab and just playing my own music, which actually made the whole experience better. Lo-fi beats to objectify hero students to.
I wish there was more Itsuka Kendo content. She's barely in it, just a couple of quick scenes in the school setting, and then she's gone. The parody elements are there if you squint, but don't expect any clever writing. Ochako Uraraka's route is basically just her being flustered for ten minutes before anything happens. The whole thing is a mess, but I kept clicking. Not because it's good, but because sometimes you just want to see what poorly animated nonsense comes next. The Midnight scenes are the highlight, if you can get past the janky physics on her costume. Don't bother trying to 100% the gallery, half the unlock conditions make no sense and the game doesn't track half of what it says it does. Just click around until something happens. That's the real hero academia.
