I played Heart of the House many, many times, and absolutely loved it. The ability to name your character, choose your sexuality, and mold your talents was something I'd never really experienced before, but fell in love with regardless. Psy High has these features, but not to the extent I was expecting; that, however, was not my main quarrel with the game. My main issue was the lack of character depth and development. Psy High, like Heart of the House, has romancable characters that your character can enter into a relationship with. However, Psy High's characters don't even feel like they exist. They're just descriptions of a person, as opposed to an actual character. Taylor\/Tyler is a perfect example. Early on, it's revealed that your character has a major crush on Taylor\/Tyler, however, the only reason I could find for this crush existing was the fact that your character found them beautiful\/gorgeous\/handsome. That's all well and good, I've no qualms with attractive fictional characters, but there is more to a person than their looks. They have a personality. They have flaws. They have interests. They have goals. They have paradigms and philosophies. Almost none of these are present in the romance options in Psy High, at least for the straight male route that I played, that is. Sure, Alison is well described, and your character has known them for a long time, but you still know next to nothing about her personality. Carla, is somewhat different though. Her character and personality was decently described, but rather unlikeable, if you ask me. Come on, Choice of Games, I know you're better than that. Heart of the House was absolutely enthralling. I spent way too much time on that game. But that's how good it was. Psy High doesn't even come remotely close to Heart of the House's level of quality. TL;DR: Characters feel one-dimensional and lifeless. Romance almost feels impossible. Not worth the $3.89. If you want a good Choice of Games game, get Heart of the House.
