A great game from my teen-years.

The Dept. Heaven series have never got the love it deserves, unfortunately. This first installation in the series is a light turn based RPG with dating sim and Visual Novel elements. Sting/Atlus have always tried different things, mixing up diverse and interesting game styles and game design elements to their games (as we see in one of my favorites, Baroque), and this one sets the tone for the rest of the series, which is even more experimental. This game reminds me of my high-school years, playing it in between classes, having a blast with an amazing portable gaming device, the most advanced back then.

Will be playing the other ones as well so I can revive the great experiences I had years ago on my soft-modded PSP when these games first came out.

If you like quirky Japanese games, give this a shot
