I'd rate it 2,5 stars out of 5 at this point after Chapter 3). I suck at writing reviews, but somehow this game got me that frustrated that I need sort my thoughts a bit. A couple notes:
- The MC is very shy and lacks confidence. He keeps questioning himself about the smallest things. That in itself would not be a problem per se. However, imo, it's in stark contrast to how every girl/woman is immediately drawn to him, including some common porn tropes like the domme policewoman, horny prof, the aunt. Reading how he keeps questioning himself about what to say with girls while it's awfully clear he will say the right things anyway is quite frustrating, imo.
It makes a possible character development pretty much redundant, when he has been scoring right from the start. Later on, we learn he isn't a virgin, which means he should have some experience to build confidence from, which in turn makes his excessive self-doubt hard to believe.
- The porny aspects and the dark story clash. You would think something potentially horrible like this happening would weigh heavily on the overall game. Instead, the officer investigating the case thinks it's appropriate to ask a potential suspect if he's into femdom.
No matter who turns out to be the culprit, the currently obvious choice or someone else, I just wish it'd be over soon. At the same time, you wonder if that would be some kind of 'game over' moment and would be left of the game once the mystery is solved.
So yeah, I can't really get into a potentially interesting story involving past trauma. Finally, a hint at the darker aspects of the game in the tags would have been nice.
- The renders are nice and the lewd scenes are good, also regarding dialogue. During the lewd scenes, the renders are very 'hard cut', though (idk how to properly describe it), which can be annoying.
