I actually have not finished 3.7 at the point I'm writing this review. Mostly because I die a little inside every time I see the "You have reached the end of this content of this current version".
Storytelling and premises: 4.5/5
First of all, the story for the game is, for better or worst, ambitious. The author has amazing ideas and concepts he wants to put in the story, which he does a pretty good job of, though at times, quite forcefully.
Let's face it, there's a good portion of players who is just here for the sex scenes, the hot dialogue that makes everyone hot and bothered. And sometimes players like that can't be bothered to focus on the many concepts and unfamiliar terms that the story tries to introduce. Me included of course. But over time I found myself more and more drawn into the story, and slowly but surely beginning to really understand what was going on.
In a way, that's a pretty amazing method to tell this story in particular. We start as a human who have no solid idea of magic, rifts, dreamwalking and stuff like that, thrown into a completely unfamilar situation. So the psyche of us as players and that of the main character are exactly the same. If the author meant it, he's probably a genius.
Though things that I maybe would change is that, too much information and words are thrown right at the start of the game, and not really properly explained to a layman, who has no prior grasp of such concepts. So it ends up pretty overwhelming at first. Maybe add a few examples or analogy to make it easier to understand.
TLDR: Slightly hard to understand everything the story throws at you at first, but definitely rewarding and I think many people will eventually like it, even people who just wants a quick fap.
Graphics: 5/5
IMPRESSIVE, is the word that comes to mind. It's not perfect, but CG and renders rarely are tbh. The characters looks amazing, the renders looks almost HD, if that's a thing. The sex scenes are absolutely stunning, and sexy af.
Gameplay: 5/5
Clear and user friendly interface, somewhat linear storyline so you don't miss things, easy to understand hints and paths. I'm personally a walkthrough nerd, where I sometimes decide to play or not to play a game based on whether there's a walkthrough and how comeplete it is. Because I'm a bit of a perfectionist and always want to see all scenes and get the best route. To my current knowledge, there's no "major fork in the roads" that I hate and players can eventually do everything given enough time.
Characters: 4.5/5
Very well designed characters. They have pretty much distinct personalities, speech patterns, body shapes. Speaking of which, are believable, they all look natural and are hot in their own way.
Rae beats the overused stereotype of succubus being giant tittied milfs or flat lolis. Pretty much one of the sexiest characters amongst the games I've played, being slender as well as thicc at the same time. (sounds weird, but you'll see)
I don't have a fetish for muscular and tall ladies, but even so, I still like the character design of Naomi. It's not overexaggerated and she looks good overall. So if being dominated by muscular girls are your thing, you're in for a treat.
Caitlyn is pretty new to me as well, but she has a clear identity and personality, to fit her niche in the story. She's your girl if you like impressionable young thing that's curious and apprehensive about sex.
Main complaint at this stage would only be that there's only 3 characters, or maybe 4, based on the twitter page.
Conclusion:
That's pretty much my review of the game. All in all, I really enjoyed this game. Many people over alot of different platforms recommend HH and MM as some of the best games out there, but personally, I feel that this takes the cake. Of course, in terms of content and the amount of content. MM and HH will still be up there. But I think this 1 certainly has the potential to overtake them eventually.
This is still my 1st version played, so I have no idea how fast the updates are the how much content each update gives. But this is a highly recommended game for me.
To author(if he or she even reads this):
I'm going through a tough patch financially, so sadly, I'm unable to support you, even though I know how important it is to this community. But I promise, when things get better, I'll definitely become a patreon.
Also, I think you should review the 1st 3 days of the story. We players, like the MC, was thrown into the story with pretty much no idea of the situation so maybe our decision making wasn't the best. The fact that Rae was desperate to get out of the house and willing to do everything was... sad. It really brings out what she probably goes through in her everyday life and how she has been living
After the whole situation becomes clearer, I felt like a jerk for taking advantage of her during the 1st 3 days, especially since she was willing to do everything before, and she suddenly reject your advances after the story really begins.
Maybe I'm just thinking too much, because she is a succubus after all, but it just kind of bothers me.
