Overall, this is an interesting game with a lot of potential, but isn't perfect and still needs a lot of work to get close.
Pros - things that made the game fun to play:
- The core game loop is decent and generally feels rewarding, especially towards the beginning and end of a girl's story.
- The writing feels like actual dialogue/like how a person might actually speak.
- Model images are hot, and the video clips are usually fairly long compared to other games like this, making it more enjoyable to view with less looping.
- Videos have sound, which is great (but they are muted by default)
- I didn't run into a single bug while playing, which is rare for Twine games in development
Neutral points - don't make the game worse, but are noticeable areas for improvement:
- The flirt minigame required to advance a girl's level has you matching emojis under a generous time limit. It's not hard, but it does get repetitive after a while.
- The pornstars chosen for video clips are some of the most popular and well-known actresses in the industry, and appear in a lot of games like this, which makes the experience of playing less unique.
Cons - these made the game less fun to play:
- The grind at certain points is a little slow, especially when you start needing to buy gifts or clothes to progress with certain girls. You can make $180 a day currently if all you do during the day is work, then you have two actions left at night to train your skills or flirt.
- Girls' stat requirements got a bit annoying towards the end. Angela needing so many hearts was a bit annoying at times, as was Riley requiring the dancing skill that can only be leveled up at the nightclub two times a week. And the clothes stat requirement gets extremely expensive and grindy.
Suggestions for improvement:
- The money grind could be fixed by increasing the amount of money the player makes from working. Maybe the player could get a raise after working at the cafe/bar a certain number of times.
- I think the stat system is a unique and interesting idea, but I think the requirements for advancing a girl's relationship should be lower so that there is less grind.
- More interesting models would be great! Right now the variety is a bit lacking.
I look forward to checking this game out in the future to see how it develops.
