Pros:
+High quality renders. They look good and are more vibrant than the average VN.
+Smooth animations. I have seen better, but not often. Lust Academy does better than average in this department.
+A few mini-games. Nothing on the level of Being a ♥♥♥, but they're inventive and fit within the story and setting.

Cons:
-The dialog is atrocious! Seriously, some of the worst that I've read. I don't mind the occasional spelling or grammatical error; this is not my first VN after all. But there's just so many of those mistakes in this! You can't go 20 seconds without reading something that just sounds ridiculous and it really pulls you out of the story.
-"25 potentially romanceable characters." Yeah, that's a bold-faced lie! Most characters are done after one or two conversations.
-Characters are non-sensical and things in the story just happen....because reasons.

My advice for Bear in the Night is this: Hire a professional editor.

Overall, despite all of the bad I mentioned, I can see why many people really like this game. It's creative, it's beautiful, everything is easily accessible and understandable, and the characters are all decently likable; it's also just a game with many flaws that include poor English and writing and lack of content. It's like getting a massive, beautifully wrapped Christmas present shaped like a car, but when you open it up, you realize it was just a very sexily wrapped motor scooter. Motor scooters are still dope, but when you trained me to expect so much more than what I got, I'm going to walk away disappointed.

Overall I would rank it as an above-average game with a couple of major flaws, so assuming a 5/10 is average, probably a 6/10, maybe 6.5.

its alright

Lust Academy season 1, or as I like to call it. H0rny Potter. This is a really good game but it takes, perhaps as bit too much, inspiration from the Harry Potter franchise. You're an orphan living with a family that doesn't like you, you have a non magical cousin/step-sibling, There are four houses started by four founders that are red, green, blue, and yellow. There's a points system because we compete and 100000 POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR!

I never mind a good parody, and there is obviously nothing wrong with taking inspiration, but at times this borders on not feeling like making your own story to just make an adult version of Harry.

That being said this game has fantastic art and animation, with good dialogue and a mediocre story. This is probably the best open world AVN I have ever played. So many have such a hard time balancing where you need to go, at what time, and how much time actions t ake. This game is extremely straight forward with it, it is very well thought out, and it never feels like a burden.

The love interests are good, but there is an obvious preference for Haley and Samantha. Not bad by any means, but it would have been nice for a few other characters to feel a bit more equal.

All in all a good first game, and good starting point. Let's see how they keep it up.
