Cute slice-of-life adventure game. You play six different characters in their romantic encounters/interests.
HPF has a beautifully bright color palette. The cheery vibe really plays on the rom-com story. The art style is a wonderful pixel blend of 2D characters in a 3D world. The room transitions, moving through doors or stairs, are smooth and the music adjusts. Basically, the game is eye candy.
The story is pretty cheesy; I don't see that as a negative since I had an idea what to expect. The game does describe itself as a rom-com. I felt it had enough sad, happy, and funny moments in balance. It's good to watch/play/read cheesy stories at times. Feel good, ya know?
Two negatives: odd solutions to progress or gain achievements and the story was told skipping between the past and the present. Telling a story non-linear isn't bad. But it can be confusing. Thankfully the game does tell you which "timeline" you're in but totally not my style when I have to remember "where" I am in the storytelling.
It's a feel good, cheesy game that I needed at the right time.
