Successfully makes the dating sim genre accessible for a modern audience by exposing parameters and requirements to the player and implementing a robust save system/progress tracker. You can argue that it compromises the fundamentals of a genre built on trial and error, but I applaud it for streamlining the actual process of trial and error; exploring alternate branches is easy, but there's enough friction to keep the player engaged.
The only problem is that it makes older dating/raising sims feel like even more of a chore to play.
