Band Camp Boyfriend

If you want to go back to high school and remember the thrill of having adventures with your friends, while building friendships and trying to survive band camp... then this game is for you! (Attention to the word "survival" because the game becomes dark, friends. Be careful!) The dialogues are fun and the protagonist is certainly one of the best characters in the game! WHAT A BADASS! So let's get to the routes...
And the first route played was Peter's. Peter is a controversial guy that you want to kiss and punch at the same time, he may be a little shit but there's no denying he's charming. Even though I didn't like the way he and the protagonist got together (you have to respect girl code, as Susie said) and how he broke up with Felicity (I mean, that was a big no no), he managed to redeem himself in the final chapters. <3 In the end, the route was very sweet and we found out that he is a romantic and protective guy. I like characters that evolve over the course of the story and I think Peter has great character development. In short, he managed to make me completely fall in love.
Garth's route was the second one I did and … wow, I definitely DIDN'T EXPECT this one!I was curious to know how he had just disappeared in Peter's route and here we find out what happened Poor Garth! In fact, I particularly recommend leaving this route for the finale, as it can give you anxiety about playing the final route. It's also pretty short as it ends in Chapter 6 (for reasons I can't reveal).
The next one was… Tom. If in Peter's route the romance already starts in the first chapters, in this route things only unfold towards the end. Tom's route is like a "common route" with several characters appearing and helping you. It really represents "friendship"! As for the romance... well, those who like friends to lovers will like it, it's a cute route and has several flashbacks to how they met and became friends. I haven't played all the routes yet, but it's almost like this is the "true route" (as much as I don't like that term). It was a cute and heart warming route!
And next is Clark! Oh god, that route went from heaven to hell real quick. I mean, in the beginning it was incredibly funny and the dynamic between Clark and Cadence was amazing! Bullying Clark has become one of my favorite activities (sorry not sorry Clark). But then... BOOM! Everything started to fall apart. And once again the protagonist shows why she is the most BADASS character in this game! (Did I ever say she's the best character? No? SHE IS! Forget the boys, Cadence is the best!). And Clark, well, I'd say one minute you want to protect him from the world's hate and the next you want to drown him in a lake while the leeches take care of him.. Don't expect too much romance in this route either, actually there's less than Tom's (but at least he has the best epilogue so far). And Tom... oh Tom, I'm starting to see why they say you're the best boy <3 I'll never forget your loyalty. I really don't know what to say about this route, there were so many different emotions, but it has several of my favorite moments.
And then comes Poptart… … … I heard there is a Poptart Protection Association? Is that true? Where do I sign up to become a member? My heart ached here, I won't deny it. It's a pretty heavy route. I have a bit of a problem with yanderes, but I think his troubled past justified it well. The ending was pretty emotional too, the whole second home story got me. And Bandit helping find Melvin at the end was perfect. <3 THESE ROUTES ARE BREAKING ME DOWN AND STILL 3 LEFT! (Will I be able to survive Band Camp?)
And next is Samuel. And I thought that Peter's route was the charming and romantic one in the game, but Sam is not far behind! Samuel is chill and his and Cadence's dynamic is super cute! If on Clark's route everything that can go wrong does go wrong, I'd say that on this one everything goes smoothly (Or is it just because it's my sixth route? I don't know). Sam is a calm person and his route is just like him, sweet and calm (I mean, if even Mr. Wiley's heart was touched, then how can we poor mortals resist?) <3
And the last one (before the big finale) is Doug! Sorry to leave you last, Doug, but you're not my type lol. Overall, it was a pretty fun route, mostly because of the drummers dynamic. Also, we can also get to know Marian better, I didn't think I would like her so much! And it's one of the routes with the best epilogue! (super sweet) The fact that Alex falls in love with a different girl on each route kills me lol XD This kid has the potential to be even worse than Petter!
And then the final route… BEST ROUTE! It's it. As much as I love romance, the best thing about this game isn't the romance, it's seeing the marching band family dynamic and we get a lot of that on this route. A reward for suffering. <3 Garth is also very cute in this route, love him <3 And Mr. Savage's case finally revealed, I didn't expect that from Felicity <3 And obviously… AARONNN <3 I loved the moments with him (Fandisk with his route when? XD)
It's hard to pick a favorite guy, everyone managed to charm me in some way, but in the end... my favorite was Peter <3 and then Tom and Clark <3
This game is amazing! As someone who has been following the development for the past 2 years at least, I have to say that it DIDN'T DISAPPOINT! The game was made with a lot of care! If you like otome games, play the game! If you like marching band, play the game! If you don't like either one, PLAY THE GAME ANYWAY!

Was highly looking forward to picking this one up after genuinely enjoying the demo and so far i'm having a wonderful time and really enjoy some of the jokes throughout. as for pros and cons:
Pros: -Great selection of guys to pick from each character feels fun and fleshed out
-Few innuendos and great little pieces of melodrama for that lovely pg 13 feel which I love
-Despite partial voice acting it still helps give a feel for the characters so I would add this as a pro
-Each branching narrative (only on Peter so far) feels great and there are so many moments to switch up story pieces
-Good humor
Cons: -For now my biggest issue would be dialogue can be a bit tricky to read even with my glasses on mayhaps the colors just clash a little too much for reading legibility
For now no other cons as ive only played about 1 hour outside the demo may update pros/cons as I go.
I definitely am going with a thumbs up and recommend for certain to English Otome lovers or even anyone who enjoys a little romantic romp and some good old melodrama at band camp with a dash of hijinks and humor. Great game!

Okay. I've played only but one route so far, but I have to say that I've waited a long time for this game and when I say that it was well worth the wait.
The writing is wonderful; you can really feel the emotions of the characters, each one has their own unique personality, issues, flaws, and strengths. They feel so lifelike and are just so damn lovable. I also genuinely had some moments of squealing like Susie did and the same shock, dread, anguish, and happiness that the cast would feel in some moments.
When I say I recommend this game, I can't say that enough.
Now, the music. It's a band camp game, of course there will be music. The soundtrack is so wonderful and fits the occasions. I usually play games with other videos or music going, but for this I decided not to so I could experience the soundtrack in full while playing and boy. If it sounds this wonderful with one route... then I can't wait to hear the other tracks.
I can't say much else because words can't fully articulate the happiness I experienced from this game so far, even with just the one route. I'm so excited to play the rest and, once again, I can't recommend playing this game enough.
If you even think you would have the slightest inkling towards playing this game, then try out the demo and join band camp with the rest of us. You'll enjoy the ride.

10000/10 - This game is really something special. The devs really put all their heart and soul into this game and it shows. <33

Fun stories, great characters! Just let me date Aaron pls

I will not give away the story, but I will say that it was not what I expected. I thought it would be just goofy and, while it is in some parts, it also has depth and a great story to it. I loved all of the characters and saw some of my band friends in the faces of these characters. It also made me VERY nostalgic. I miss band and wish I could go back to relive it sometimes. The camaraderie in band is something I only felt there. Marching Band is a feeling I never thought I'd get to feel again, but this made me remember all of those feelings. You can tell that the creators really loved this project and you can tell they are some fellow band geeks. This visual novel is now in my favorites and I can't wait to do another play through. Just for funsies, I marched with my trombone a few years but I was also in guard one of those years! ❤

The long wait for the game was well worth it when it feels like each and every route was given the exact amount of time it needed, and causing none of them to fall short. Amazing!
