Good game, when taken from a standpoint of corrupting the FMC, and from the graphics. Are the graphics outstanding? No, but they are good and enhance the enjoyment of the game. Is the story gripping? No. Is it passable? Yes. Is it good? That depends on what you're looking for.
It's a kinetic novel, at least up to and including episode 2. Those looking for choices and building the relationships you desire will not be happy. Those looking for a corruption NTR story with Non-consent/blackmail elements will be happier. I'm trying not to give away the plot or spoilers, so I'll end the description there.
I'm looking forward to the next episode to see if the developer will continue down the path he set at the end of episode 2, or go in another direction.
Too many VNs go up to that door, crack it open, but close it quickly. It must be from fear of critics who don't like the subject and only want vanilla games where everyone is happy and everyone gives consent. The games that have NTR and blackmail either go to the extreme of destroying the FMC beyond redemption, or having the FMC fall in love with the blackmailer and abandon everything that came before. I can live with either, but love neither.
My vote is to continue the path and dig deeper into FMC's obedience while she continues to resist and hate it, but has no other choice. I'm waiting for a game where the FMC is corrupted, never truly gives in, but is in too deep to pull out on her own, and needs her husband/boyfriend to pull her out with great difficulty. It's working together that breaks them free, and it's the shared trauma that gives the couple a foundation to rebuild upon. Will this be the game? I don't know, but I hope so.
I'm not giving 5 stars because of the plot being too thin. I'm guessing the developer wanted to hasten the action to avoid the critics complaining of not enough sex and not fast enough. A little more time on character development for the FMC and her husband would be nice. Showing a slower corruption for the FMC instead of just letting the blackmailer do what he wants would make the story stand out more.
I'll end it by saying it's a good start, and while it could be better, I believe the developer has a solid foundation to build upon to make a great game. I'll be watching and pulling for the developer to make that great game and get the accolades from it!
