The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs... The version this review is based on is v0.21...
Warning, there might be a few spoilers ahead...
Visuals are mostly decent, outside of a few exceptions... One of the characters, I'm guessing, is supposed to have had a bunch of plastic surgery, but how the models face looks in comparison to all other characters, looks like a plastic blow up dolls face... I think it could have been done far better then it was... Beyond that, most characters as well as backgrounds looked decent... There were a few backgrounds that I recognized from lots of other AVN's, so you can tell they were basic public assets... Same with a few of the character models... There are no actual animations, but instead the developer opted to use a series of still images played in sequence to give the illusion of animation... But for me animations do not necessarily make or break a AVN/Adult Game...
The developer/s include some actual puzzles (shapes and all) for certain grind type situations with the option to skip them if desired... Honestly the puzzles seemed more like useless busy work, and since the option to skip them was present, I don't see why they needed to exist... Perhaps the developer is just experimenting with RenPy based mini-games?
The script and story are where I ran into the most trouble... While not entirely unreadable, the script is a mix match of occasional broken English, grammar errors, and a messy writing style... Some of this could be due to poor translation and interpretation into English... But there were moments where the writer would throw poem style prose into the mix, for no good reason, and while it might be creative, it made no literary sense during the few moments it occurs, and it made a hard read... Even simple things like drinking various beverages are over dramatic in their presentation...
The way the characters are presented along with the sometimes, odd writing style, and descriptions of situations/thoughts/etc, most of the characters are rather hollow... The female protagonist is presented in one of two ways; either she can completely play along with a given situation/s, liking/promoting a given situation with no shame (only seeming clueless a tiny handful of times or perhaps she wasn't?), or you get the option to avoid/alter the situation she's presented with... Her personality is a bit all over the place... She's sometimes knowingly slutty, right off the bat, or sometimes she's presented as slightly naive... The way this AVN/Game flows, is like your typical corruption story where the female protagonist is constantly presented with ludicrous sexual situations, and yet it felt like she's already corrupted with few inhibitions...
When it comes to overall story, it jumps around a bit too much... And the plot is super simple, a female protagonist who's just trying to get a letter of recommendation from a company internship, in order to get into college in two-weeks time... Beyond that, it is typical porn style fare of being presented with varying sexual situations, none of which feel realistic... Throw in a slight amount of, sometimes, meaningless and/or strange filler dialogue/monologue here and there, followed by a new situation... Rinse and repeat...
As to the gameplay, it is your typical choice based AVN, accumulating various points, that most likely will gate content... The scores you gain are a mix of character focused scores, and stats for the protagonist... The stats are labeled as Intrigue, which seems like it was intended to represent the protagonists Corruption level, even though it sounds like a wrong word choice... And the second stat being labeled Temper, which I'm guessing is supposed to represent the opposite of corruption, but again it might be a wrong word choice... In either case, even though they threw me off, I'm sure the developer/s have something particular in mind with selected those labels...
Overall, it does seem as though the developer/s are slightly new at story telling, but mostly decent with visuals... It's early in this AVN/Games development, but you can definitely tell it is way more Porn focused over good story telling... While not completely riddled with broken English, it is hard to read sometimes, due to the bizarre writing style... Again, that could be due to poor translation/interpretation, but I think it's also a mix of amateur writing experience... Will this AVN/Game get better over time? It's possible, but I would highly recommend the developer/s re-visit the text, if anything...
