I think I first played this game when there was basically no content in it, I feel like it's been years. I finally decided to give it a go again, and despite finding the entire story, premise, mechanics and everything relating to the fetishes extremely hot and sexy, I have some fundamental problems with the way the game delivers the content to us.
It's not about the gameplay loop itself, I think it's fine. It's supposed to be a bit grindy, but if it serves the plot (and it does) then it's completely ok. I understand 100% why this game plays the way it does and it makes perfect sense on the game design perspective.
The actual problem comes with what content is actually release and when. There are a lot of "dead ends" (links that do basically 0 actions) which shows a lot of what I assume are upcoming paths that up until this point are literally just snippets. Even the map shows a bunch of places that are literally unused. This makes the player question everything they see and click. Knowing there are a lot of unfinished and unused paths/places, the experience turns into a somewhat stress-inducing hunt for the most developed path, and if it takes too long to trigger, we start imagining that it's the end of it, and we might need to focus on other paths in the game.
This makes the experience a bit less fluid and relaxing. There are many loose threads between the beautifully crafted storylines and I'm kept wishing I had waited for longer to replay this game. And to add to the problem, it's really unfortunate that the game is the grindy, "repeat scenes to unlock more scenes", kind of loop because it makes me not want to play the next update, but the fifth or even more distant one ahead because of the amount of time it takes to progress the story in one sitting.
TL;DR:
If you're wondering if you should play this game, keep a few things in mind: The story is quite hot if you're into role-reversal, manipulation, gaslighting, findom, femdom and all of that good stuff. It's grindy and you can expect to play for quite a few hours before it gets really intense. It has quite a few paths suficiently developed for a good immersion, but it also has a lot of loose threads, a lot of unused people and places, and lots of snippets of content that are yet to come. If you want a WHOLE, SOLID, and FLUID experience, this isn't the time to play yet. But if you want a good, slow burning femdom role-reversal story, and you want it NOW, this does have enough content to scratch that itch as is for sure.
