Every character you meet, absolutely every one, is obsessed with the opposite sex. It's cute at first, and then it becomes repetitive. Each chapter in the game seems to introduce another potential girlfriend for the main character. It's mildly disturbing.
The biggest problem with the game, however, is saving your progress. It employs the tried and true method of Save points, places that you need to return to in order to save your progress. In town, you are supposed to be able to save your game at the local Inn.
So, after playing for about an hour the other night, and getting a few things accomplished, I decided it was time to go to the Inn and stop playing for the night. When I arrived there, the innkeeper refused to let me save! Instead, he said something vague like "You should see the princess while she's in town." So, I went around to everyone in town and talked to them again. I spent 45 minutes reading the same dialogue I had already read until I managed to trigger the right event. An hour later, I was allowed to save my game.
Now, if I had needed to leave the house for some reason (e.g. to go to work), I would have had to choose between being an hour late, discarding my previous hour's progress, or leaving the playstation on all day!
I'm vaguely curious about how the game ends. I might even read a walkthrough just to see what happens, but I've got to stop playing Okage.
