Whatever you do, don't give dev money until their release track record improves. The game is quite possibly abandoned.
I appreciate the game over scenes that add the ability to have dark, forced scenes during the early, slow build up phase that many of these corruption games have. Basically you push things too far, and instead of an immediate game over there is a forced scene. A game over flash appears, and the game automatically brings you back to the point of no return where you can pick the more subdued choice this time. These forced, "non-canon" scenes help remedy some of the fatigue often found in the early stages of corruption games where all the women are still reserved. The images are a little pixelated, but the animations are pretty smooth and so the overall graphics are pretty good. The scenarios themselves are all wonderful. A decent bit of grind, but not an egregious amount.
It would be an easy 5 stars, if not for the lies from the dev teasing along the Patrons. To give a timeline since last update:
- 08 Dec 2022: Version 0.15.47 releases
- 20 Dec: Dev promises Christmas special to release in the next couple days (spoilers, doesn't happen)
- 01 Jan 2023: Dev says the Christmas update will come out in a couple days, and that they plan to do two smaller releases before the next main update in February. So three releases by the end of February (spoilers, there won't be one update in this period)
- 17 Jan: Dev reports they were down with the flu, and the Christmas update will be out in two days (spoilers, doesn't happen)
- 20 Jan: Dev says that the next release will be 24Jan (spoilers, doesn't happen)
- 24 Jan: Does not release Christmas update due to "bugs"
- 29 Jan: Dev pauses Patreon billing due to delays. However billing will resume on 24 Mar, before any update is released
- February: Two posts about swatting "bugs" and all the new content to be included in the next release
- 16 Mar: Dev acknowledges they've been quiet lately, and that they will post weekly updates going forward. We get a full one of these weekly updates on 24 Mar before they come to a stop.
- 24 Mar: Dev claims that they only have one scene to complete before releasing next update. Resumes Patron billing
- 27 Mar: Dev claims that next version will release on 31 Mar (spoilers, doesn't happen)
- 31 Mar and 01 Apr: Dev claims that due to slow internet speed he is unable to upload, and therefore he brought his rapey incest porn game to work to upload it there. Only to have brought the wrong version, and then be out of town, so he needs to wait until 03 Apr to upload. The dev has been absolutely silent since then, even though it is visible that he logs into F95.
- 16 Apr: This review, with the game still at version 0.15.47 and still waiting on the Christmas Update, and three weeks after billing was resumed.
I get that most people on this site are getting the game for free, and don't have a reason to get ferociously upset about long time between updates. But when the dev keeps teasing along the people who are giving money then that is why this otherwise 5 star game only gets 2. I'll reevaluate this rating if a couple of updates are released on or near schedule, but at this point the game may be abandoned
