  So, there's a romance path where you basically get to romance Severus Snape. If that weren't enough: gender sensitivity, gender neutral pronouns, LGBTQ relationships, lots of racial diversity (as much as any game with anime/cartoon sprites can have, anyway), and a genuinely cute story on most of the paths. Or a genuinely disturbing one, depending on your options. If you liked Long Live the Queen, or games like it, you'll definitely enjoy this one. (And now to cut this review off so I can go back to exploring as many paths as possible!)

  Ok I'm not going to lie, if I saw this 2 months back I would think, "Nope boring, don't like dating sims," Then I bought Dandelion Wishes Brought to You, and it opened my eyes to how funny and sweet these games are, they're not just so silly girls fantasy, most of them have a really good story and good/funny charters that you can't help but fall in love with. And this is another, I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did but I love it, I have laughed so much from this game it hurts and yes tears have fallen from my eyes. The art style might not be the best but it's simple and that's nice. I now love dating simes because most of the time they have a better story then some shooters or other games, and the best part is that their is more then one story, since there are different charters everyone will have thier favourites and their least favourite which is the best part. (My favourite is Damien, what can I say deamon boys capture my heart hahah :3 ) So if you want to have a laugh and not rage quit buy this game I will guarantee that at least a part of this game will make you laugh, if it doesn't well done to you, because I'm in stiches. :3

  I love the replay value to this game. I'm on my third play through and am finding new things each time. It's very simple, enjoyable game, especially if you love dating sims. The "exams" are a fun twist, and I kind of wish there were more of them (you learn all kinds of spells but never get to use most of them). My only real note is that there are parts that do feel a little too passive-- info dump parts, or places I have no control over my character or the storyline-- that are a little annoying in the next couple of play throughs and make you very happy for the fast forward button. I just wish the game was just a little more interactive, especially with the creation of your character (you can choose appearance, but no other characteristics). It would be great if there were sequels with the remaining school years, because the end feels a little sudden to me. I'd definitely recommend this game, but I'd also recommend waiting to get it on sale. Even considering the replay value, it's a very short game.

  If you want a cute, fun otome dating sim, this is certainly one. I played this back in the day and reran through a few romances recently to remind myself of the adventures and honestly? I'm still pleased. It's one of those very early era Original English Otome VNs, back when none were getting officially translated and brought over on consoles or PC, and at its heart is the same kind of vibe that early Harry Potter novels had for many HP fans. ...And honestly, being able to romance the grumbly teacher was a plus for me. LOL. If you don't like stat-raising sims, you probably won't like this. But this is a very well done one with many enjoyable plotlines to follow.

  I liked parts of this game and disliked other parts. Pros: - Different & unique romance options! I loved that I could go for one of my female roommates. :) - You get to customize your characters hair, eyes, and body type. This makes the protagonist feel more "yours." - The characters get put in absolutely hilarious situations. - Your choices in the plot certainly have a big impact and can lead you to many different routes, so replay value is deifnitely there. - The "magical school" setting is unique compared to some other dating sims. Cons: - I felt like the personality traits were worthless. I saw no point in getting points in the "cute/weird/smart" categories because they don't seem to affect anything. - The magical tests never seem to get interesting/complex. - Art was subpar. The characters all look similar in the face and their appearance doesn't change a whole lot. It starts to feel monotonous. - There are huuuuge chunks of dialogue/description with no pictures sometimes, which gets annoying. With such a cool, magical setting, I would expect to actually see some of the magic going on. Unfortunately, you never do. This is what makes this dating sim way less enjoyable than ones like Dandelion, which go above and beyond with scenery and drawing out pivotal scenes. The only time Magical Diary shows you a picture to go with a scene is if you kiss somebody, which for me, was only twice. Overall: If you tend to like visual novels or dating sims, this one is worth a try, especially if you value the choice to either date men or women. However, don't expect this game to knock your socks off. It's entertaining, but somewhat underwhelming at times.

  I own every game by this company that is avaliable on Steam and I think this one is my favourite. I love how while it's a visual novel, it has an RPG "feel" to it with the dungeons. It's a lot of fun and there are many different endings. You can be straight or not, or even go for the teacher! (Kinky).

  A cute, quirky game to play through, especially if you like dating sims or visual novels. An added bonus was the freedom to pursue a romantic interest of any gender. Some graphics got buggy on my mac version, but overall worth a try!

  How did I spend 5 hours of my life on this game? It was one of those things where I just could look away. I was obsessed with getting that professor to love my character. I later had to sit in the corner of my room, think about what I had done, and hang my head in shame. No Regrets.

  Accidentally married Snape in a dark dungeon below the school, then continued to wallow in self-pity for the rest of the playthrough until reloading, fixing my mistake, getting sacrificed to the bloodgod, reloading again and spending the rest of my days as a socially awkward lesbian witch. Not that I mind. 10/10, got my bra stolen by the Illuminati at some point.

  OK, so even if you aren't into Harry Potter Fanfics, and even if you're a guy, there's something to enjoy in this game. (You know, so long as you're a guy who is fine with playing a female character trying to get a date in a very LGBT-friendly setting.) The character creator is fun, if a bit limited. The sheer fact that it has a character creator at all is a big advantage this game has, and I have no idea why it's not a more popular idea. Most accessories, however, have to be purchased in-game, and have stats associated with them, so if you wanted to wear glasses, you can, but they cost money, and if you wore some stupid-looking giant star glasses, you might get more of the stats you want... Cat paws look dumb, but they give massive boosts to (nature-related) Green magic, so it's sometimes that old World of Warcraft "killer clownsuit" choice between aesthetics and effectiveness. Choices are very diverse, although some aspects of your past aren't up for your choosing. Most of the time, however, your choices amount to which classes you go to, and which stats you therefore train, with the occasional tests that demand specific skills. The dungeons are perhaps the best part of the game, and are presented in a Wizardry-style, but where your spells are tested as a puzzle. Each school of magic gives different methods of solving a given puzzle, so practically any choice of magic schools will be correct if you just have enough of it to get a diverse enough set of spells. That said, there are some dissapointments. It feels like the dungeon sections could have been expanded so much more, and the game would have been better for it. The spells you collect are like puzzle pieces begging for some clever puzzle they can unlock, and the first few dungeons you go through feel like a warm-up for some truly challenging puzzle to come... and then the game says that you completed them all, and yay for your happy ending. I felt a bit robbed of a chance to have some big climactic moments where that huge book full of spells could save the day, and instead just got a final exam where they checked the size of my book and said, yeah, you passed.
