This used to be one of my favourite games, due to Nicole mainly. She's the only reason I come back even though the longer this game goes on, the worse it gets as a whole.
- The game's been going on for a few years now, but the quality of renders remain just "ok". Lighting is an issue but the biggest disappointment is that the dev still opts for pre-rendered backgrounds for many scenes. It's lazy and it ruins immersion.
- The game never had good grammar, and it gets worse when you have so much meaningless dialogue. If Abi, Marilyn, and any other person is not directly relevant to the current plot, their conversations should be as limited as possible.
- Pointless decisions. There are many of them. I played the recent update and did not get a single sex scene with Nicole. Then I realized from reading the comments that it depended on whether you asked your mom "is something wrong" or "or what are your plans for today?". She looked concerned in that breakfast scene so the natural thing to ask is to see if she's okay. But to restrict players from Nicole content based on that decision is perplexing. This is not the first time the dev has done this. And if you look through the variables, you'll see a lot of other unnecessary things like "SnoopPoints" or "Sexypoints", which is 0 at this point for me.
The last few updates have dragged its feet. I get that the dev wants to build a universe with each character having their own story, but in reality we don't care (at least I don't care) about anyone as much as Nicole. The game should stick to what it does best, which is Nicole content, and condense everything else. The dev said years ago that this was supposed to be a short game. And at this stage, you can tell that the story is watered down and lost a lot of its meaning. I'll keep playing to get the Nicole ending, but I'm no longer excited by every update like I used to be.
