I had played an insanely slow and boring 2.5 hours of this at first, then cast it aside for weeks with no intentions of ever picking it up again. As soon as I did though the story *finally* had something interesting happen and I was able to start making advances to date someone.
The story moves through about the time frame of a year, broken up in 8 chapters, so each chapter is like months after the last one. This isn't like you meet someone and right away start dating- the game wants you to build friendships first. Which is fine, just be prepared to be in the friendzone with light flirting til maybe 5 hrs in when I finally got to go on my first date with Teo. The story had some twists, your choices do truly matter! And it was awesome I was allowed the option to choose to physically punch the bad guy when he deserved it.
Didn't expect to finish this, definitely will not be going back and playing again a bunch just to get the rest of the romancing achievements. it's a 7/10 and I'm *mildly* glad I did come back to it and finish the story line.
FYI there's no nudity, but there are bathing suits on a beach for one chapter. In my play through of successfully romancing someone, you experience nothing more than kissing, hand holding, "i love yous" and nice flirting and emotional support.
Small complaint about your character design: I'm all for androgyny, but my character was so gender-neutral it was a little immersion breaking for me. There should have been 3 body types/looks to choose from, not 3 hair styles. The baggy hoodie ensemble your character wears the whole time kinda sucks too. It always makes you look out of place compared to the rest of the characters. It makes you look sloppy despite being at an interview, at work, or going to an important business meeting about the future of the arcade. These are silly cosmetic things, yes, I know, but they can make the difference between me really feeling like I was part of the game or just going through it.
If you're a fan of slow burn VN's where your choices matter and you can PG level date someone while trying to become a better person- this might be worth your while.

beach episode had me giggling and kicking my feet frfr
I adore visual novels/dating sims, so I was really looking forward to trying this one as it looked quite cute, but I have to say that it turned out to be a bit of a disappointment.
The story itself is okay — it's nothing special and rather cliché, though its cosy feel-good vibes can still be enjoyed if you don't expect high quality storytelling. I did like the addition of Iris, which gave the whole story a gamified feeling that fit the theme nicely. Then there's the rest of the cast, which is quite diverse and fun to get to know, except once you do they all turn out to be a bit shallow and one-dimensional.
Finally, the romance options feel a bit abrupt in that you're telling each other "I love you" a single scene later. It feels like the game is missing a lot of fluff, with too much focus on the main narrative (which, as I said before, isn't the greatest either) and expecting the player to fill in all the rest. But I'm a romantic! I want to see all that unncesseray fluffy goodness, even if it's with a cheap cutout version of my avatar that doesn't seem to fit the rest of the game's aesthetic! That's what I'm here for! But alas. (To be fair I've only finished the Percy romance at this point, so maybe other routes get more of that stuff?)
As for technical details, the game worked fine-ish on my Steamdeck. Every now and again it froze and occasionally I even had to restart the game. Plus you kinda have to figure out for yourself how to work around the text insert parts of the game. Other than that, the game's performance was fine.
TLDR: It's definitely worth the buck I got it for during a sale, but I don't recommend paying full price for this.
The game aesthetic is cute, the art is beautiful and the story is fun. I enjoyed the IRIS and the way it tracks your personality and your relationships with all the characters. The music was cool and the voice acting excellent. I had fun playing it but I felt like the romance aspect was too small. You barely get a chance to flirt with the characters, most interactions are purely platonic until you make a choice and focus on one person only. It's a good visual novel but it lacks in the dating sim aspect. I would probably get it on sale.
Eh. Not for me. Characters are pretty one-dimensional and the tone is all together kind of corny. The only LI that isn't syrupy-sweet is kind of a boring square.
Arcade Spirits is super charming visual novel with lots of heart, letting you guide your character's personality and build up a bunch of friendships while wading through the unending chaos of arcade management.
