High Times

I recommend this game if you liked other slice of life games about meeting strangers and helping them solve their problems, such as: Vampire Therapist, Coffe Talk, and VA-11 Hall-A. I don't recommend it if that's not a genre that appeals to you, of course. This game is similar to those games; the main draw is getting to know a bunch of different people of different walks of life and growing closer to them. I will say, though, as a plus, this game has more gameplay than those previously mentioned games. You will probably manually make at least ~700 donuts on your way to ending every visitor's arc. Additionally, this game offers romance for the player, so if you're into that like me that is another bonus. You can also be polygamous and romance multiple people in one playthrough, and they won't mind at all. There is also character customization since you create your character instead of playing as a 100% predefined character. The game is fully voice-acted and the voice acting is really good. I enjoyed my time with this game a lot. The donut making got a little grindy near the end if you're trying to complete every single visitor's story, since as I mentioned before, you make about 700+ donuts for it, so I wished around ~Day 200 some donut-making shortcuts were unlocked or something like that, but other than that I don't have any complaints, and it's something only completionists will notice. Good game, worth the price even if it's not on sale.

แม้เนื้อเรื่องและบทสนทนาจะไม่ได้หวือหวามาก เกมเพลย์เล่นไปนาน ๆ ก็อาจเบื่อได้ แต่เราก็เอ็นจอยกับเกมไปจนถึง true ending เลย โดยรวมคือชอบค่ะ

fun game i really liked all the characters and their storys the donut are a fun way to influence the characters overal a definite reccomend from me

I was really surprised by how enjoyable the characters were and how good the story is. The gameplay can get repetitive so don't try to play it all in a day. Make sure to save in other slots to keeps from having an issue with your save file. If you don't like the romance options then just be friends with them, it's just as satisfying.

five stars for the "fire emblem: awakening" reference as "water crest: revival" the game is also great too, I love all the characters! their dialogue is really well-crafted and each character feels unique. I'm having a fantastic time digging into all of their stories. I literally gasped when meeting the catboi and the breadditor, I love those little freaks sm

Super fun, unique, fully voiced visual novel! I thank every God that may or may not exist for the 'mute specific character voice' function in the settings. Most of the voice actors are awesome, but a few (Riri & Lucy) are nails on a chalkboard. 😬 I love the ridiculous adult humor and modern/futuristic vibes and setting. Definitely worth the price!

High Times is a solid game that scratches that itch for a dating and cooking sim all at once. The concept of working as a “Mood Meister” and curating donut flavors based on my customer’s needs was fresh and fun, and it was interesting to see their reactions when I served them exactly what they wanted…or fumbled their order completely. Who doesn’t love bright colors, a whacky concept, and memorable characters? High Times brings cooking and dating sim elements that feels like a blend of Coffee Talk and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. I appreciate the pacing of the game. At first, I thought I was hitting most of the character interactions within the first two weeks’ worth of shifts, and yet, when I least expected it, High Times threw a brand-new customer at me. This extended my desire to play the game, as I enjoy the branching arcs with my exes and wanted to see what scene I’ll unlock next. There was some mild repetition; however, it was minimal on the grand scale of things, and it’s easy to click through the interaction and make money off the customer. I wish the music was continuous even if I stopped playing for a few minutes. Despite these small observations, I do feel that High Times is greater than the sum of all its parts. I love the games’ strong personality and seemingly limitless unlockable scenes that has me coming back for seconds!

Un visual novel où on fait des donuts pouvant faire ressentir différentes émotions, où on essaie de gérer d'anciennes relations qui débarquent à nouveau dans notre vie et où l'on rencontre de nouvelles personnes...pour le moins excentriques ! J'ai été agréablement surprise par les différents personnages (y compris notre personnage principal): leurs personnalités et leurs histoires. J'étais vraiment investie et voulais vraiment les aider à surmonter leurs problèmes. On peut vraiment voir que les décisions que l'on prends ont un impact sur leurs vies et leurs relations. Le jeu est entièrement doublée et surtout je ne m'attendais pas à ce que le jeu soit aussi long ! (à l'heure où j'écris cette review je n'ai toujours pas finis le jeu) Mon seul problème avec le jeu, c'est que certains dialogues (où les clients commandent leurs donuts) ce répètent. A part ça, je ne regrette pas d'avoir acheter ce jeu et j'ai hâte de continuer d'en apprendre plus sur les différents personnages et sur notre personnage principal !
