Not a bad game overall. Animations, renders and the girls are all fantastic. The build up of sexual relationship between MC and his family is also coming along nicely instead of jumping right into sex. But where This is Not Heaven falls short is the story telling and character development. The pacing of the writing feels too forced and cheesy for my taste. For example, on the first day of MC taking up a role as an errand boy in a modelling agency, after discovering the hardship of the business, he abruptly becomes the knight in shining armor and steps up to essentially become partners with the boss/director (Megan) in an attempt to turn the company around. This is a guy who not only knows nothing about the ins and outs of the fashion/modelling industry, but is also someone who for the last few years practically lived as a monk, cut off from the rest of the world located in some sort of spiritual fantasy la la land. It could have worked if say the character development, or back story for the MC was more fleshed out, but unfortunately at current state we know close to nothing about him. So for the girls, who are industry veterans with years of experience, to follow the lead of this random errand boy first day on his job is quite frankly, ridiculous.

At its current state I'd probably rate the game a 4/5. It has potential so I'll write up a proper review once more of the game is updated.

Hi.
First of all I wanted to thank you for taking your time to write a review of this game, in fact, it helps me a lot to read all this, be it the positive or the negative of the game, this way I learn faster and I can correct many mistakes .
As for the MC and his work, he hasn't made any major decisions yet, he just helps Megan as much as he can, mainly with the photo shoots.
I also understand the confusion you have when you don't know much about MC, so I always try to leave you a bit of information in every update about it.
Once again, thanks for taking the time to write me about what you think of the game, greetings.

Hi. I wanted to warn you that I suspended my patreon page, because the university final exams are on the way, so I will not be able to meet specific dates to release the next versions, although I will continue creating the game, but without the need for you to support me monetarily .

Best of luck. I hope all goes better for you and this quirky vn also gets completed.

Why not modify your patreon like luxee? Charge only when you release a major update?

Sorry that this will be a sandbox. Please tag properly so as I know not too waste my time on it. I enjoyed it up to now although the story is very confusing at times.
