Even School Mate, which is a game that is set on a high-school like Artificial Academy, has at least a story and characters besides the eroge gameplay. There is no plot or challenges to do, you just have to interact with other students to befriend and that's it, making the game even more boring to play.Speaking of which, the game doesn't tell where the students are nor what they are doing, so if you find and interact with the student you want to chat, there is a chance of you interruping a conversation between that student, or worse, encountering him/her in the restroom (if it is a opposite gender student).

Other example is if you want to go to another place, you have to click on a green button with school building and compass, and choose which location you want to go.

If he/she is not, then you have to click on a green button with a book to find the specific student you want to chat.

For example, if you want to interact with a student, you have to click on the character, but only if he/she is the same place as you are.

The gameplay is very tedious, since you have to control your character by clicking on some area of the game, and some of the mechanics of this game are very frustrating:.

To put more salt in the wound, Real Kanojo a game also released by Illusion has better and far more realistic graphics than Artificial Academy, and it came 1 year earlier before this game, and most of the assets used in Real Kanojo are original.

Speaking of the background graphics, the locations in this game like the classroom, consists of a static image of the location without emotion or interactivity, this wouldn't be a big problem, but this makes it look like the game had a very lazy development.

The background graphics of the students are the worst offender in this case, mostly because of how bland the character models are, especially their faces that barely has details in them, only having eyes and nothing more.

This is because Illusion reused several assets from their previous games like RapeLay, School Mate and Battle Raper, which are already completely terrible games.

The graphics are very ugly and outdated, that it looks more like an earlier PlayStation 2 game, despite being made in 2011.
