TLDR: Interesting narrative, great renders, memorable characters, and a fresh look into harem/polycule dynamics, hindered by a few pacing issues in the later chapters.
I primarily play harem games and I really wish more games venture into the relationship dynamics portrayed in this game.
Most harems have the MC juggle solo scenes between his love interests and the occasional FFM+ scenes, but most LIs in other games don't do much more than take turns with the MC.
The MASH ending, while not for everyone, is honestly enough for me to give it 5 stars.
All these women are part of the relationship with the MC AND each other. They don't stop existing when the MC is not around, and will fool around with the other LIs in the relationship. It's refreshing and makes the characters feel more alive, and I hope more harem games do this.
Maybe some might not like that dynamic because they don't like sharing, but how is four women making out with each other in front of you not a massive turn on? Now if there was another dude in the relationship, i'd understand not wanting to share.
Obviously, it depends on the LIs and how they're written and their narrative sexuality, but I definitely think more games should venture into this space.
The solo endings are good as well, but any of the endings that aren't exclusively solo are a treat because of the points said above.
My main criticism of this game would be the pacing. It definitely doesn't drag on like other games that just have lots of monologues, but there are times things move too fast. Hopefully the dev's future game improves on this front, keeping scenes memorable, preserving the passage of time for realism, but not cutting interesting plot points short.
Also, Heidi as a character is amazing. Both in looks and personality, she's practically the glue that keeps any of the relationships involving her stuck together, beyond just the MC's massive dong.
