Just found out this game a few weeks ago through recommendations and decided to give it a go. Did 2 playthroughs. For some background info, i prefer solo LI games, but when i play a harem game, i go for all of them even if they dont interest me because its usually the way to play them and not miss content.
First game, tag said harem, so i was clicking yes to everyone, since those game usually give you full content when you engage all the girls. To my surprise, it started quite early to have me pick between girls for events locking me from other girls. (to find out later on its only 1 real harem-ish path in a basically mainly solo LI game, kinda felt way misled by the tags)
So i proceeded to eliminate girls to keep it as harem-like as possible. Zenda got dumped pretty fast. Can't stand her, she was insufferable to me. You barely know her and then she plays hard to get and then fuck with you to make you jealous by dancing with other people on your date ?!?! Fuck that girl. I reloaded at the point where i got the choice and just canceled the date. Only save scum i did. Never gonna try a route with her.
Was collecting girls and then the cousin appears. I probably would have kept her, but she kept fucking around, calling you your real name all the time and got you in trouble screwing your identity with all the girls, so i was like, no girl, no place for you in my harem, go fuck yourself. I liked Val a lot, then she decides to blurt she did a check on you. I would have liked the option to just leave her right there, but my MC was like, everything is fine. Continue on with her, then she get not happy i fucked Nicole and i ended up having to leave her as shes apparently not a harem girl. At this point, i felt scammed by the game. I wouldn't have played this way if i had known it wasn't really a harem game. The part where the girls do a diversion to save the principal was pretty ordinary to me. There were only 2 guys. Nothing the cops couldn't have handled.
Ended up with the ending with the 2 lesbians and the redhead, with 2 of them knocked up living in bumfuck nowhere and a bunch of orgies scenes. Wasn't really my thing and found it meh.
Second try, i decided to go for a Val solo route, since she was the girl that mainly interested me and i saw she was a strictly solo girl last time. (i didnt like the look of the redhead, the goth chick was ok, her friend was too much of a slut for me always wanting to get banged all the time, the cousin was ok also, Zenda, fuck her. Don't know if im gonna play again. I'd maybe try Athena solo, but i don't want to feel like a home wrecker wrecking ball separating them, must be awful, and i dont want to be judged by the cops for banging the cousin.
I found the path actually really satisfying. Shut all the other girls down pretty fast to just friends. Lot of things were explained on her route and i found it well developped instead of just college coeds fuckfests. She got all your background because as a lawyer, she most likely have access to many law enforcement databases, she has a gun cache and is trained after her kid got killed after an armed home invasion, etc.
Also had great moments which were well written, like when she say she won't follow you in protection because she has a life, but she'll wait for you, or when you get a photo of your kid and you get told you've been hidden for YEARS. Her helping you in the end was actually believeable and fit with the story. Gal gonna risk everything and pop a cap in the gangster after her man, she got's my 100% loyalty badge.
What i didn't like was at the end epilogue, we cheat on her many times with a girl with 0 choices, and it is implied we also cheat with more girls. Really left a bad taste in my mouth after all that happened between the 2. They keep showing the MC sad looking at the photos, next scenes he's plowing a hoe. Also, that protection thingie made no sense at all. We get released after 3 years cause the guy's dead in jail. If that guy got a jail sentence of 20 years for exemple, would that mean we would have stayed hiddem in protection for all 20 years? And what after his release? Your basically jailed from seeing anyone you knew for all your life because ONE guy that want to kill you is in jail ?! They said multiple time the organisation doesn't care abiout you. What about just letting you live your life and contacting you before the guy get out of jail instead?
Really really loved the ending. Plenty of touching moments and surprisingly lengthy. Many very hot sex scenes. I wonder why we never seen any of Val's family, or even the cousin's which are also your family. Loved her with that MILF's gray hair in the end. Would have liked the MC to age also instead of still looking 18. Also just seemed that the kid was always 2 feet tall for all those years, barely reasching your knee lol.
