Finally finished what little of this game there is and here are my impressions.
For something that was originally started 4.5 years ago there is disappointingly little to it, unless the story is just about NTR and Miranda/John arc. In terms of number of renders it feels like 3/4 of Babysitter, but in terms of story progression only about 15%. It's so far from finished I'm not sure I will ever see it, can't imagine waiting that long for it.
Looking at the meat of the story, the distribution is extremely unbalanced:
- Miranda/John has waaaaaaay too much to it compared to other arcs and is still only like half-way done
- Tony has more, but can't imagine it being finished in next update
- Angelica at this point should be much farther advanced than it is but its not as bad as
- Erica's story, which is like a race hound that barely left the starting gate and still has the entire race ahead of him. Which is extremely disappointing since she is the best LI of them all
Out of all characters I prefer Erica the most. Of all the female characters she's the kindest and warmest, least selfish/egomanic/narcissistic, plus is genuine and not a whore. She's the type of girl you marry and stay with for the rest of your life happy. I don't want her sullied with the lesbian-virus that is rampant in this game lol.
I can't help but wonder what will happen if Tony knocks up Lara as is strongly hinted (btw., how fucking stupid is she not to be on the pill while in a sexual relationship that resulted in a baby just not long ago). Will she go with him? or will she commit paternity fraud and claim the kid as Mike's, to force him to raise and pay a child that is not his?
IF this game is ever finished. Probably like 15 years from now.
This may sound fucked up, but I want Lara to leave Mike to go to Tony and leave Mike to raise his kid with Erica, with whom he'd eventually have more kids. Basically want her gone from his life lol. I realize that won't happen, but it's a nice wish.
It's nice to see Jessica again, even if she's throwing a huge spanner in my Erica romance wishes (she was my fav LI in previous game).
Final relationship comment: why is every female in this game a lesbian? Seriously! If you look at RL statistics it should be like every 1 in 10. I know there are lesbian tags and I expected 1 or 2 and wouldn't have minded, but every single one? Dude! If you can give us the option to disable NTR, at least give us the option to disable lesbians too! I don't want Erica drooling over Angelica, ffs, just like I didn't want Chris over Jessica.
As for technical aspect: renders are obviously better than it's prequel, BUT the issues from previous game are still here.
With that I mean the women. Their weird faces. Expressions that look distorted and unnatural and like Skyrim bodies when the physics engine and skeleton had a meltdown.
Especially bad are their lips/mouths and eyes. Dafuq is going on with them? Mouth look like outward sphincters, like someone threaded a fishing line through them and then pulled together to be forced into a circle. Like the rim of those old leather money purses/baggies.
And the eyes... oh god. Weird shapes, completely unfitting for the faces. Not just that, but the position of eyeballs and irises themselves are really unnatural in several scenes. Not always, but there are times that really ruin it.
The previous game had a problem with beautiful female models, except Jessica (I wonder if there will be any arc with just her), but this game is even worse in that aspect.
So, basically, great potential, some really nice looking women that get spoiled by their faces being twisted into horrific masks and a story arc (Miranda) that feels like the author took on more than he could cope with and ran away from him to the point he neglected all others instead of being capable of balancing the work.
