I've never played a game like this, but I'm tempted with this one. Hmm.

I'm considering buying it, but I've heard some people complain about issues with the download. Did anyone here have any problems?
He still kinda is a twink. Just buffed up more than his high-school boxing days.
That scar, though...
My guess is its not rated. AFAIK, you only need a rating if you're planning to sell it in retail stores (Walmart and several other stores wont carry unrated games iirc) or on consoles. It looks like you can only buy this from their site though so it's a bit pointless for them to bother getting it rated.
I loved that little touch.
You can actually see it in all of Mark's interactions with the other love interests.
Thank you for making me aware of this game.

That's why he's my canon guy. Makes the most sense.
Finished the demo. It's pretty cute and also pretty hot at the same time. I think I might buy it. That way I can support something worthwhile, broaden my gaming horizons and check out porn all at the same time.
Would my progress carry through to the full game or do I have to start again?

You have to start over again but the demo really doesn't get that far.

As someone actually named Mark getting called Matt instead is a big pet peeve
But yeah, I agree.
On the topic my name being used for the protagonist tripped me out a couple of times.
Yeah this was legit my biggest disappointment with the game.

Yep! This one especially because it's pretty much the first of its kind. (North American commercially developed gay dating sim.) With the added bonus that it is extremely well done.

Honestly, with that route
I found I didn't really care for the plot of the route itself or the whole band thing, but I think Jed's actual character was really refreshing

...by just the right amount to irrationally increase my attraction to the character while avoiding being a complete imbecile. He needs help, but he's not hopeless.

Very early in what I think is Alex's route, so spoilers below:
Haha he's a professor. Fuck that's hot. Does the game just play it like any Dating Sim would or is there actually some conflict because student/professor relations are a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge no in the US?

'Jock' personalities are the best. That he's a little dumb adds to the charm.

So can you guys recommend any other VNs to someone who really enjoyed this?
The worst.
I cannot respect someone who isn't at least somewhat motivated to bettering their minds.

If Brad didn't, he wouldn't let you tutor him.
Honestly, knowing people a bit like him, the charm is often that they're unpretentious or uncomplicated. If you're a shitty person you're a shitty person, but people I've known like that have, after growing up, tended to have deceptively strong moral principles seemingly coming out of nowhere.

So I'm assuming this being released for PS4 ain't happening, but could this be released for iPad?
I don't have a PC....

It's only available for PC, Mac, and Linux at the moment.
Finished product. I think I actually like the rough one more! Haha
Dear god...
...I think I'm too thirsty for Brad.

There's actually one more version with a bit more embellishment. That pic is too cute.

Porn games are definitely not allowed on iOS, and there isn't really a way to sideload.
Android is a possibility.

This won't be on iPad. They don't allow anything with porn on the App Store.

Oops. Mixed it up with his last name.
On the topic of the routes, I haven't done Phil's yet but so far my ranking goes:
Brad>Ian>>>>Jed>>>Alex
I think all the guys are hot but Jed's story is really boring and Alex's is far too difficult to enjoy (even if it does have some of the more steamy scenes). Brad and Ian are just right with Brad winning only because of the jock appeal.

I was just kidding, my supervisor at my first job always called me 'Matt', drove me nuts after a while.

Another full route is being added next year, as well as seven stand alone mini-dates. All for free.

Finally played through all of them now including Ian. And holy shit the heat turned up considerably with him. I know Ian is set up to be "THE One" with the longest journey, the longest steamy scenes, that perfect ending, and a pent-up jealously that will literally kill him years later to see you with another guy...
But Brad>Ian>>>>Alex>Phil>>>>>>>>>>Jed
I feel like years later when Brad's making that NFL dough, Ian confesses his love to you, you have a long tryst, Brad has a NFL tryst, you get back together with Brad and call it off with Ian, Penny sets up Ian with Phil and they fall in love, and Mark, Brad, Ian, and Phil transform into a pile of sweaty bodies and they all live happily ever after in some sort of hot potato love square.

Oh god you just made it real for me. I love this.
My review: It's awesome, buy it.
But seriously, COOT is one of my favorite games of the year, and this is the year of Bayonetta 2 and Super Smash Bros. It's basically the Portal of gay dating sims. (Horrible comparison lol, but stay with me here.) Hilarious, engaging, really replayable but way too short. So yeah, I can't recommend it enough.
