Saw it, played it, and was impressed for longer than 2 hours, so certainly something must be done right here. The game is still unfinished but at present state its complex enough and I doubt the general gameplay is going to change, so here's my review.
Basic premise is this. You play as a some kind of canine anthro who is 19 yrs of age, lives alone with a younger sister, with no parental supervision. Yes, youre probably gonna bang your sister at some point, but hold back that erection because the game is not centered around this. One day you find a *female automaton (because obviously why not), and from there the main plot is introduced but as yet there isnt any definite ending.
Gameplay is VN style, with a lot, and I do want to emphasize on this, ALOT of point and clicking. The main plot may be somewhat linear, but because theres just so many characters in this game with their own separate plotlines, you may well just call this a sandbox with non-linear gameplay.
H gameplay is also VN, in other words, there's zero complexity. You dont really get to decide anything beyond where your cumming and even then only if that option is present. There is animations, which is quite smooth, but no VA far as I can tell. I say this because there is an option for sound volume (not music) but Ive heard nary a squeak from this game from 4 hours of gameplay.
Not a fan of the artstyle, though thumbs up for effort. Every now and then the body proportions can go whack, and even when it isnt its simply not drawn to any appealing standard. Many of the body types quite frankly look way too similar, and Id just like to point out that there's a lot of placeholder sketches - perhaps a tad too much.
To conclude...
I have to say, this game is impressive for the size and scope of its gameplay despite its unfinished state. Perhaps unsurprising given that its been 5 years, but its impossible to not at least admire the dedication. The only real point of contention is that I cannot really see where and when this game would ever end. If 5 years is not enough, then how much longer?
Still, its easy to recommend this because it fulfills a niche that isnt common - its furries that isnt about brokeback mountain. Not to mention that this game is properly complex enough to be both interesting and admirable. Only book of lust comes closest as a comparison, while pig princess is still struggling to offer even an inch of branching plotlines, let alone the sprawling tree that is this game.
Few bugbears to mention:
- Sex scenes can be longer. Like seriously, its a H game, and some of its scenes are so short you barely get your hardon started let alone sustain it.
- Game needs polishing, a lot of polishing.
- For fuck sake, this game needs a wait function because those trips to bed just to progress time is about as annoying as an unreacheable back itch
- For all the extremely long winded teasing, you dont actually get to penetrate your sister, which should be included into the list of H game design deadly sins. Either let us, or dont. Leaving it hanging like this is just -____-
