I've played man of the house before and enjoyed it, even though a lot of its mechanics are dated at this point. So when I saw a new game by the same dev but newer and with modern graphics I had high expectations.
And in a way those expectations delivered, the renders are great, the story is interesting and the characters look fun. If that's all you care about it could be a 5/5 but the gameplay unfortunately ruins this for me.
Many of the mechanics of this game are just as anti fun as it can be, from the clock that moves minute per minute with broken timing, to the grind, to the excruciating "real time" traveling from location to location that should have never been done again in a modern game, it all really detracts from the experience.
But by far the worst offender is the fact that you can't save whenever you want or even rewind your choices. I don't understand why people want porn games to be some kind of nuzlocke run. Are you in the middle of a cutscene and you have to stop playing? Well too bad, you can't save so you're gonna have to start over.
With all these gameplay problems I can't give it more than a 3/5 no matter how much I wanted to like this.
