The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs... The version this review is based on is v0.2...
The plot concept is very creative and unique, but it does have a couple issues...
The visuals for the characters are not bad, even though some scenes were slightly too dark or had some slight grainy skin on a few characters... I've seen better, but they are still fairly decent... The backdrops all appear to be unique and are decent quality...
The script has good, even though there were a few spelling/grammar errors... The plot is a bit odd to describe... You have a female narrator talking to an unknown character (i think it's a he, but can't fully tell) about being a judge... Then it switches to what I assume is what the narrator wants the judge to know, and here is where the actual story begins to take shape... I couldn't tell which character was the actual protagonist, because you have no choices to make at all... It appears as though the protagonist may be a male who works for a government agency that investigates and polices vampires... And these are no typical vampires, as they can do some really weird things, such as body transmogrification, both externally and internally... The plot seems to revolve around some sort of infighting amongst different vampire groups, with the male sort of at the center, trying to do his investigating...
Although the story is interesting and creative, it doesn't move in a completely discernable and/or smooth fashion... It also feels rushed in some scenes, as though the authors are just trying to throw information at you with some small amount of story in one scene, then switch to another to throw some more real quick, then do it again and again... You can figure out what is going on, but it moves too quick and flows oddly... Plus there is a lot of over the top stuff happening in some of the scenes, which makes it hard sometimes to feel immersed in the story...
As an example, when the male investigator has sex with what you think is a prostitute, but ends up being a vampire, he has this odd look of insanity and pleasure when she basically holds him down forcibly as they have a normal conversation during a sex scene.... You would think he's be up in arms, or struggling, or getting his inner cop on, but no... Btw, she does something that would be technically almost impossible when she gives him a BJ, as balancing like that, on fleshy legs, on an bed mattress that probably moves a bit, just threw off the whole sex scene for me... The odd sex position may sound creative, but come on, it's a bit of a reach to believe that is possible... Add to all this, no where in this scene does it mention he is drained of any blood by the vampire, yet later on the woman mentions having drained him a bit... That throws the continuity off...
Or how about the AI that has a mechanical looking body in virtual space... Wouldn't a super smart and almost sentient being in virtual space, who apparently has an erotic temperament, want to look less like a android? And earlier in the content there was a moment when a newly turned vampire starting spouting off religious banter for a bit before being shot by the one who turned him... It just felt so random and out of place... Left you wondering what led him to begin spouting his non-sense? Why is any attention being placed on this character at all if he's just gonna die two seconds later? And I know, that scene was a setup for a scene further into the story, but it still felt not needed, out of place, and short...
It's just all these little things, plus the feeling of an occasional rushed story with rushed scenes, that hints at a more B-Rated feel to the whole thing... The story just seemed to be thrown at the reader over too short a period of time... I started to wonder if this is just a B-Rated porn game that is trying to feel like a visual novel with substance and deep story, but not quite making it... Yet just on the cusp... Not sure how else to explain it...
Overall, it is a very creative concept and does have an interesting story, but just not sure the whole package is working smoothly... I'm willing to have some suspension of disbelief, but it still feels like the story is moving a bit fast sometimes and the scenes come and go a bit too quickly... This VN/game is still really early in it's production, and it sounds like choices will eventually be offered to readers/players... Will I revisit this one? Maybe sometime down the line to see if it improves, as I do think it has some potential...
