Did I really play a Christmas themed game during summer? Yes.
Did I enjoy it? Well, Yes. To some degree.
Academy Carols is a "dating sim" visual novel game where the main character is a first year student at a Magical Academy. I say "dating sim" because more generally speaking, dating sims usually have multiple choices for the preferred partner, but in this game there is only one, although quite handsome, prince charming. Quite literally as well, as he is a prince.
Even though the game lacks in choices of the preferred partner, the game delivers three different endings that depend on your choices. The Perfect, The Good and The Bad endings. Although the game is free, the developer has put some thought and effort into the whole game. The artstyle is pleasant to look at and the CGs are all very nice. The soundtrack, although slightly repetitive, is still very good considering the price tag of nothing. The story is a little lacking, but did manage to make me a little bit emotional, which is always a plus!
I do think this game is a lovely experience of Christmas themed romance that blossoms between a senior student and a first year student, a prince and a commoner. The ending leaves you hanging a little bit, so hopefully there will be continuation eventually! Until then, I would highly recommend checking this game out.
