    review is for v0.2.5
    A pretty good game that just needs more things to do.
    As open as the game appears, the game play ends up being very railroaded due to the inconsistence of events. Most activities have a chance of an event happening, that will increase corruption, but reading on the computer gives you guaranteed corruption, so doing other events feels not as optimal. Once you have enough corruption to do the family events, you can then just migrate over to the events that happen in their room so any other events can be completely ignored. Lastly, there isn't enough to do outside of the home and school right now. There's a lot of areas that can be explored, but other than the couple Zara does something bad and has to suck a cops dick and the couple of park scenes, there isn't anything else going on. At least let us get a part time job somewhere and have some sort of event there. Make it a weekend only job or something since there's a lot of free time on the weekends and nothing really to do besides sit on the bench to get your energy back and read books on your computer. I almost think that the books on the computer should just be removed, or at least the one that increases corruption, because it feels like a crutch the more I think about it.
    I dunno, maybe I'm missing something because I see things about quests and events, but my quest log is always empty so maybe I'm just missing something and don't know it.
    I digress, the game as a corruption game, is actually still really good. I love the events during class and how they break up the monotony of school. The interface update took some getting used to, but I'm really starting to like it.
    Overall, a pretty good experience with a pretty satisfying game play look a decent fappability.

    Very grindy, so it will take a long time to unlock the little content available.

    The game mechanics are inconsistent: for example, you, and adult, are unable to masturbate, because apparently that requires corruption. "Okay, I'll play along" - you say to yourself.
    Two screens later your character flashes her tits to the bus driver, which I guess doesn't require any corruption?

    This game gives you "corruption" by sleeping, by the way. I don't know what the game thinks corruption means, but it's clearly got its definition wrong.

    As many other HTML real porn games, you'll meet arbitrary restrictions -such as being unable to sleep during the day, and instead having to spam-click "nap" until it's night time.

    It lacks basic functionalities such as auto equipping the appropriate clothes, or being able to carry them in a backpack, so you'll need to return home to wear your school clothes, then your gym clothes, and so on.

    There is no map, so travelling requires clicking multiple links that don't offer any content to justify their existence.

    As an example, if you're jogging at the park and want to go to school, that will take 9 clicks with absolutely no content whatsoever, and all of that just for yet another day of nothing happening at school.

    Overall, about the same as every other stolen porn HTML game in early access: grindy mechanics to attempt to hide the lack of content, and a very poorly designed user interface.

    Not worth playing in its current state.

    Since the save issue has been fixed, I'll say that the game is a bit of a grind, but overall okay and worth playing for the pics and gifs. Story line is pretty simple, but that's fine if that's what you're expecting.

    Zara's School Life is an HTML game in which you follow the slutty escapades of a girl going to school.

    The game has a solid HTML framework. It's your typical time management style game where moving around and taking actions burn time and certain actions are only available at given times. Information is communicated clearly and is easy to find if you need it.

    Unfortunately, that's close to the only good thing I have to say. I just don't know what the point of this game is. It's technically a corruption game, but there's no milestones to mark Zara's journey into sluttery. There's no story. Zara and her family have no personality to speak of. Relationships don't grow or develop as you play the game. There's no quests or objectives to achieve.

    It's just... empty. Zara's School Life provides a good scaffold for a story and events that just don't exist yet. It's a twinkie without the cream filling, potato chips without the salt, an ecchi anime without fanservice, a porno without the nudity.

    It's unacceptable. If the dev is coming back to add stories, personalities, quests and relationships later, he's doing it backwards. If he's not adding them, he's wasting all of our times. Maybe this game can become something worthwhile someday, but right now it's worthless.

    The game has potential and isnt too bad for a 0.2 version. But there isnt not a lot of content or stuff to do so far. Can only have sexy times with brother, mum and dad randomly when corruption gets high enough and this takes a lot of grind.

    Will look out for future updates

    An HTML game with decent potential, but as of version 0.1.9, it's regressed since the first release version imo...

    Pros:
    Consistent, sexy GIFs
    Decent UI
    <- -> Buttons present
    Content present satisfies most common "fetishes"
    Consistent update schedule (hallelujah)

    Cons
    Suuuper grindy since v0.1.8.... more than twice as grindy as the first release version. You'll probably get 1-2 H scenes every 10 refreshes.

    This game is quick, easy, fun, enjoyable, has great gif selection, and isn't written terribly. You can't ask for much more from IRL porn games and the updates are frequent and have decent content to them. I hope the creator keeps this game going because I am enjoying it a lot and it's worth trying if you like IRL HTML type games.

    The game is all grind no payoff! This is my first review on here it's that bad. You work hard to get corruption high enough for there to be scenes that are worth a damn, and then it's just the same 3 scenes over and over again. It has potential, but is unplayable in its current state.
