I wonder why so many people did not like School Days. I personally found it a nice, interesting visual novel. I think the biggest problem are the characters - they can act differently depending on the moment and the route. I did like Makoto, I found him cute, intelligent, and sensible at times. Even though he goes out with everyone, he's a nice guy. (I prefer being monogamous, both in games and real life, and I tried to be like that in SD too... hehe.) The game made me feel like I *was* the main character. I found myself to be in the same feet as Makoto; he's very confused and indecisive about his true feelings, just like I was in my playthrough. I tend to lose interest halfway through, and School Days kept me going until the end. The same cannot be said for other visual novels (or maybe it's just because I don't like reading very much). The animation was very well done, music was catchy and the art style pretty. This is my opinion though - yours may differ. But SD is on my list of best games ever. P.S. It's unfortunate that Overflow will close
