High visual production quality and competent writing with room for improvement in gameplay. The retro graphics are very well done, perhaps the game's unique selling point, and the plot is a fun romp if cliched. The same goes for the erotic content: the art is tasteful, but the situations are quite vanilla.
Anal sex, an FFM threesome and light BDSM are about as racy as things get (the writer has some fun with the slime girl and demon lady at least). Different fantasy races are used to substitute for different body types, which may of course be a bonus. The sex scenes have no meaningful player choice, but I did like the characters responding appropriately on repeats (different dialogue) and even developing the scenes into new ones over time. Really wish there were more than two variants, though (first time, repeat), as the writing is quite good, especially combined with the animations. I completely forgot that I was playing a VN and not an RPG.
The game offers a fine experience as-is, but the gameplay could be much smoother, quicker and more varied. Things may become very grindy and samey, and the mandatory minigames progress excruciatingly slowly at times. The interface is a little rough to navigate in places and too often includes unnecessary wait times. Retro graphics doesn't have to mean an outdated player experience.
The rough gameplay experience along with limited scenes and variety makes the game seem like a one-and-done deal, unless further development really hits it out of the park. The game definitely has the potential for it!
PS A second playthrough opened my eyes to how many bugs and unfinished scenes/mechanics there really are. Still playable in spite of them, just can't trust the game to behave like it says it will.
