I would love to play it if there was an English translation... In the same way I watch anime in original dubbing and English subtitles.

Some faces are better and some are worse than in original game.

Changing skin tone is understandable. USA is multiracial country. Chinese is uniracial country, and their canon of beauty is very pale skin, white like milk (not yellow like lemon, it's stupid stereotype). Asians have more fat tissue under their skin than other races, that's why they are white when avoiding sun, and orange/yellow when they are tanned. As in Europe until XX century, white and pale skin is a symbol of high ranked class who don't have to work outdoors, while dark/tanned skin was typical for people working in the field. That's why anime characters (and young Japanese, Korean and Chinese) have white or pale skin.

Also, about homosexual romances. Well... let's just say that Chinese don't practice political correctness. Of course, there are homosexual people in China, like everywhere, but they hide. That's why the game cannot promote something that's opposite to their conception of decency.

I don't like discrimination, but I don't like political correctness either, and Choices are overloaded with it, especially HSS. Mia and Sydney are homosexual and nobody teases them. Cameron is genderless and nobody teases them. Sorry, in real world kids are very cruel and hate the ones who date to be different. Not only in China or Asia in general, it's also present in Europe and USA. "It Lives" is far more realistic than HSS.

That's why I don't hate this app for "propagating white skin and heterosexuality". 1001 is a game for Chinese young boys and girls, who want to romance Chinese-like love interests, in Confucian way (man&woman or boy&girl).

And the last thing: HSS was transplanted into college, because those kids are underage! It would be immoral to propagate romances between children (according to law they are children!), that's why Chinese censorship demanded the characters to be adult.
