Honestly, for such a simple story, I kind of like it. It has a solid "be careful what you wish for" narrative that comes across pretty well. The characters have depth, with a mix of positive and negative traits, and the sound/music is quite endearing. The background images also give off a pretty cozy vibe. The novel really captures the feeling of what early visual novels looked like in the beginning/past. I also really enjoyed the small, close-knit atmosphere of the game, the small cast, and the lack of drama—it gives off the charming, cozy vibe of a secluded lagoon.
That said, I wouldn’t really call this a "dating sim" or a “choices matter” game. The only decisions you make are whether to view the adult scenes or skip them—there’s no real dating or branching storylines to explore.
While the game is flagged as 18+, it’s worth noting that to actually see the adult content, you need to install it separately for some reason. However, the adult scenes are well-written and offer a variety of scenarios with each cast member.
I’d recommend this game if you’re looking for a nostalgic and cozy visual novel experience with a simple story—or if you’re horny for furry bara dudes.

I enjoy revisiting this game occasionally. I recently played it again because its sequel, Lagoon Lounge 2 - The Secret Roommate, was released. I needed a story refresh since I had completed this game years ago when it first came out.
The story is simple but charming. While the characters' views on LGBT topics are outdated, it feels authentic when you encounter people who aren't knowledgeable about the subject.
Overall, I find the story to be an enjoyable experience to play through. It's definitely worth replaying when I'm in the mood for it.

Main character is a goofy fella.
Funny dialogue, good character designs/ interactions and a simple yet immersive story.

If only I could throw 100 yen into the fountain to be in Harusu. What a wonderful time it would be eating at the lounge with everyone :))
