Usual I shy away from early version games due to lack of content but AOH been on my radar for a long while so I finally played it.
Pros:
Interactivity 7/10
Game - I like how there are 3 different modes based on previous choices. While some of the stats are rather useless , it is after all a 0.1 version. It is also smart to include small plot details on different paths if the clicker chooses to read which helps to give more information and understanding of Natasha's situation and the world she lives in.
From their page you can also tell the developers do try to make an effort with their patreons - wall papers, battle contests, frequent update news etc
Writing - 8/10
At the first run, I find the words to be rather lengthy (There is a lot of read, hello is this a porn game?). Even the porn scene narrative were unusually long but it was then I realised hey this seems like erotic novel writing. After that, I stopped left clicking and started reading the narrative like I was reading a actual book which is actually pretty decent. Its funny how perspective changes when you have a different mindset. Getting Spook involved is indeed the right choice.
Originality - 9/10
Comic view mode is interesting especially the choice differentiation scenes. Superhero parody is also something that hasn't been overused or even used at all when compared to the general porn meta u find these days. Even the writing is very different from what we are so used to.
Artwork - 9/10
Seriously you guys have outdone yourself on parody reference to SJ. Agent Romanov is every bit of what every fan / comic boys imagined of black widow gone wild. She is unbelievable smoking hot. Take the cake, you guys earned it.
Now it would have been more fun if Selina bear some resemblance to AH since the costume was adapted from BM rises but I am more than contended with SJ plus your version of CW is cute. Poison Ivy seems weird to me however , probably with the pink hair which I guess you cant use red coz of BW but why pink lol - Anyhow just a personal preference. Her body suit however is on point. Good pick! While on the body suit topic, yea it didn't spell sexy to me when BW wore it but on the second walk through when I saw poison ivy again, i was like ohhhhhh , now it make sense. Kind of like Batman and robin lol
Cons:
Save slots 6/10
For the love of god, give us more save slots. Becoz your artwork is that good, I wan to save every scene / plot but there is only 7 slots. Not to mention being a interactive game with 3 different routes, it is really hard to manage and play through. Not sure if 10 is the max for unity engine but if so, damn we are stuffed. I know you mentioned of a collection room before (pardon me for only being able to read first 20 pages which i gave up after) back in Feb this year. That may solve it if it can be implemented eventually.
User friendly 6/10
Don't get me wrong , game is straightforward - just choose and left click , duh lol. But the stats can be rather confusing, what is the difference between strength vs power, independence vs Will power, huh what?? Also what is with the alien icon when u flick over the stats, is it a bad stats? I think a explanation is required in the walk-through at the very least if its not in game.
Next is becoz there are different paths, players are encouraged to replay the game but scenes that we have watched before cant seem to be fast forward? That can be rather irritating. Or am I an idiot here as there is one but I didn't locate it?
Future of AOH ?/?
It is overall a very well though out game. Your dedication and quality have all been reflected in the game. But I have to ask (which I may be overstepping hence apologies here first), in two more months , AOH will have another update making it 0.12 and it will be officially 2 years old. Generally speaking, most games should be at least 80% completed by the 2nd year. To be fair, I know there was a cooling period + probably some modification since Spook joined as a partner. There are the other projects you have and obviously real life issues.
At the current rate of 1 update every 2 months, AOH may truly only be completed by 2021 or longer lol unless u plan to cut the story and end it early. By no means am I judging your commitment nor the awesome quality game work but i do wonder if it is feasible on how things are going at the moment. Please do not hate me for saying Perhaps it is better to focus on just one game given the constraint resources you two may be facing is what I am getting at. I just feel beWilder deserves better attention + support and I do hope your patreons feel the same way (support wise) and am willing to ride out the long wave if and when AOH does take that many years to complete etc.
* Edit - I just noticed the comments of BeWilder saying this is a full time professional job of working these games + if expenses allow, hiring more resoucres/help so updates may be more frequent than every 2 months?*
Lastly, I do feel like a hypocrite piracy typing these wall of text. I cant be a patreon as i share a joint account with my misses so i cant justify the monthly payments. That said, I came across the commission page and it is something I can provide my support in. So let me get my creative juices pumping and I will contact via deviant art.
