Game version: [v0.03a]
The game has a solid core but it's full of too many little things that annoy the shit out of me.
The renders are good and the writing is decent. I like the general setup and story, the MC isn't too shy or too creepy (depending on your choices) and it has some interesting love interests, including some mature women that actually look mature and don't have supermodel bodies, which is something you see way too rarely.
I think the implementation of the Dark/Charm point system is a terrible idea and just makes me download a cheat mod. Spending points to get scenes and then potentially having to miss out on other scenes is a bad system. I do like the choices in the game so far though, it's nice that there's a big range in your behavior, to the point that you can either end up on your knees saying "yes, mistress" or spanking bitches and being Chad Thundercock. There's rarely a middle path, but who cares, extremes are more fun.
The music choices in this game are an atrocity and basically the leading example for why many people choose to play these games muted. From the loud, obnoxious song with clapping samples that loops throughout the entire introduction to the completely uninspired selection of tracks you already got sick off ten games back. There are thousands of royalty-free songs on the internet, but devs choose to use the same like 20 tracks they heard in other games, it's just lazy and boring.
The story recaps the MC does when he goes to bed and when he wakes up are extraneous and incredibly annoying. I get what the dev tried to do, like give people a quick refresher on the story when they play a new update but it just sucks ass when you play multiple updates worth in a row. Cut these out except for the newest update. Or at least cut out the recap at the end of the day. Or just give an option to skip those sections entirely. Also, stop with the masturbation segments, they are boring rehashes of old scenes with nothing added, nobody cares.
The weirdest thing this game does is inventing made-up words and variations for things. I don't know if the dev is just super paranoid about copyright infringement or something, but Chris Hanson, Yahoo, or Uber aren't going to sue you for mentioning them in your porn game, that's not how copyright works. And even if it did, they don't care about you.
He even does this for races and ethnicities for some reason. Like, people will say "Mayacana" instead of Mexican, even though it's absolutely clear that they mean Mexican. Then there's like Polinski instead of Polish and Davorian for Russian I guess?
Oh, he also replaces every instance of God with "Gawd," not just once or twice, but literally dozens of times, even in phrases like "good Gawd fearing family." It's just fucking weird and takes you out of the game. Instead of being invested in the plot you just scratch your head and go "but why though?"
This game has the potential to become something great, but it needs work. I'll keep my eye on it.
