well that helped. (wasn't sure how well rollback would work so replayed this update).
A Few Days - review
This game suffers from trying to fit a detective story into a porn game, and neither component is handled all that well.
The models for the characters - while all freakishly similar in appearance [is this an alternate universe where all women have gothwing eye makeup?] - are well done and attractive. It is abundantly clear as to what sort of woman the dev finds attractive, and he doubles down on that preference at every single opportunity. All of the women resemble each other. To be honest, I can barely tell the difference between the cop and the MC's Girl Friday. They all just....blend together.
That was the good part of the review.
The story is dreadfully forced and meanders all over a tiny little nondescript ocean-front town with a past that is explained - as is pretty much everything else - through exhaustive exposition. While sometimes useful in a regular novel, this VN has none of the visual cues that would make connecting the dots of the mystery so much more rewarding [the bit about the refrigerator is especially obtuse]. There are literally dozens of literary devices that could have been employed to move the detective story along, and yet precisely none of them were used.
The sex scenes are mostly unpleasant-looking, with either bad camera angles or utilizing characters that are pretty much two-bag choices. There is one character that the MC is supposed to be drooling over [as per the novel] that is, at best, a '6' on a cloudy day. The far more alluring auto-repair store owner's daughter as well as the Girl Friday emit zero heat, relationship-wise, and one is left with the fondest with that A FEW DAYS would finally end, and the dev could learn some valuable lessons from this rather garbage entry.
[UPDATE - LEARNED HOW TO POST A REVIEW..not sure what to do with this post now, as peeps have repied to it.]

Not everyone will like everything. Even the highest rated games out there have haters. For those who don't like.... Move on and the rest of us will love them for what they are. Great game keep up the great work and timely update releases.

Normally a review should reflect the good/bad of the game being reviewed, FYI.
This appears to be describing another game, one that is unlike A Few Days' differentiated character looks+personalities, puzzle-piece mystery, well-done adults-only scenes, nice visual tools for tracking progress+acquired observations, non-churning sandbox style and generally fun relationships.

Well, that's your opinion, so I'm not going to criticise but neither share it.
This "game" may have its flaws, but as I played it (and enjoyed it so far nevertheless), my impressions and opinion of it differ a lot from yours.
Btw, there's an extra review tab which is intended make use of instead of the discussion thread, except you like to get "facepalmed" even more
...i wanted to put in the reviews tab, but there didn't seem to be a button or option to add anything. So, it went here instead.Well, that's your opinion, so I'm not going to criticise but neither share it.

And that my view of the game differed from yours is okay. i loved the artwork, and some of the models are indeed gorgeous. That said, I maintain that they all resemble each other and that the sex scenes are well, not fantastic. IMO, you really want that last bit in a porn game. Even if it is just a game about who hid the sausage in someone's wife.
Fried, I did try to reflect the good/bad of the game -
MODELS = good design, even though they all tend to represent each other and have raccoon eye makeup
STORY = bad, piecemeal detective story that Encyclopedia Brown would have solved in an afternoon.
FLOW = the story seems to skip all over the place, making huge assumptions which no detective story ever, ever would.
THE SEXY = ugh, the MC seems to sleep with only the desperate, marginally-attractive loser characters of the game, when the Girl Friday is easily one of the better rendered characters and better developed.

1st you need to click amount of stars this game deserves from you and then post ranting review (might get deleted by mods if is too ranting).

Well, as I said, it feels like you reviewed another game (or through a very different set of lenses than I would expect.) That's fair, I just can't relate what you wrote to what I experienced, unfortunately.
For example, I recognize the different female characters immediately, even with these old eyes.
The detective is learning clues as he goes along and making connections as possible - as evidenced by the acquired artifacts summary screen (as I call it). I don't expect Raymond Chandler here, but this is fun to follow along with the events and try to determine what's next: the journey of the game matters more than stepping outside the fantasy box and solving it - that's how most fiction/fantasy can be best enjoyed.
I haven't seen an unsexy coupling yet. One of his partners even resembles someone I know IRL and looked somewhat like FaceGen was used, which was intriguing.
It's how you look at the piece for what it is offering as entertainment that matters in these games, I feel. The last thing I am looking for is perfect reality, but something that helps smooth the path of acceptance for the story told and characters supporting.

What I hate is you keep dangling Charlie tantalizingly close in front of us then snatching her away before we get our greasy mitts on her!! GRRRRRRRR!!
ME WANT CHARLIE!
(BTW, Thank you for the Casey content!! both last time and this time
)
There are two reasons why Charlie is slow burn (well three but I wont tell you the third)ME WANT CHARLIE!
Reason one is obvious - Keep the best for last
Second reason, every animation I make is an improvement on the last one, whether you can see it or not as some are only things that I notice. Even halfway through this ep and of course after I made all the animations, I found a texture fix for the penis AND I was asked by someone in discord did I know how to move the foreskin. Thing is I did, never occurred to me to actually do it.
I am trying to make Charlie the best animation I have ever done, trust me I practice a lot, funnily enough not with her, I actually use Sue a lot for practice.

yeah, with the storyline this time kind of confirming the Charlie is waaaaaay more important to the plot than just "hot girl sidekick" I kind of figured I'd have to wait.........but it doesn't make it any easierThere are two reasons why Charlie is slow burn (well three but I wont tell you the third)

I won't ask if a Charlie/Casey/MC threeway is in the works - but I will put in my humble request!
UncleVT
Episode 8
280 images
2 H-scenes with too many animations to remember (9 or something stupid)
Rewrote part of the chapter 7 after some feedback, you can pick which girl to take on the boat, so if you want to skip through the last ep to do so you can.
There is a very important scene at the beginning with the MC, Charlie, and Casey. What they discuss is not something I made up, on the notes screen after that scene there is a link to a youtube video of where I got the idea from.
I was asked to provide more than one H-scene, I have put two in this one, both are in evening and you can say no to them if you want, it won’t affect the game.
Because of the above, there a few locations you go to just to be told “Hey come and fuck one night”
It's not as long (well not as big anyway) because of a few factors. One being rewriting some of chapter 7, the sex scenes and I am on those stop smoking pills which sometimes space me out (in a good way).
If you don’t get reference of a bloke with a can of paint (you need your sound on) google the opening of Saturday Night Fever.
I think that is all.
I played through the whole game and found an old bug, I don’t know why, so if anyone is playing from the start and it should all go smoothly, if not I fucked it, which is possible.
A few old typo bugs was reported to me in discord which I have fixed.
Anyone new to this game, don't take it seriously.
Remember I'm in Aussie land, I'll be in bed in 10 minutes, try not to break it
