Review of April 30th update, after playing both an NTR and non-NTR route.
Having played through the game twice or more by the time of this review, I feel like this game was...a bit of a letdown.
The gameplay is that of a typical Mario platformer. Nothing too standout, aside from maybe some control jank. Which is understandable, given how the dev is maybe one person code-monkeying in Unity instead of an entire AAA game studio's dev team. I've seen worse platformers made in Unity...but I've also seen better, whether it was older platforms like Flash or even engines not designed for platformers, like RPG Maker.
The visuals on the sex content are decent. My problem is that the gallery fails to properly capture the context of the scenes, which is a major component of NTR-type stories. Without the context, all I have are a series of stills and animations about BowserxPeach sex, and I can just go to a website for that without needing to play an entire game that takes up time and PC space.
The story option on the title screen is poorly-explained. As in, there is ZERO explanation for what this does. From what I can tell, it makes it so that Peach's condition at the start of the game is adjusted. So if you want, you can make it so that she's already in Bowser's castle taking some dragon-turtle dong until she loves it.
The problem is that this game lacks a save mechanic. So regardless of how you set the story, you still have to start from the first stage and get to the end. Couple that with how the development of Peach's NTR occurs in real time, and you have a game that makes speedrunning mandatory if you want to see the pure love end, and overall forces you to go at its pace.
I can't say the game itself is bad, but the execution is, to put it frankly, sloppier than the blowjobs Peach is giving Bowser. I'd give this game a 2.5 if the system allowed half-ratings.
Tl;dr,
The Good

The Good
- Art and animations for Peach's fall to depravity are decent.
- Some level of agency in that player choices affect Peach's Love stat, which in turns affects whether she's truly being stolen away by force, or if Mario's too much of a neglectful BF that she practically leaps into Bowser's arms.
- Purchasable items in the shop to enhance Peach's experience.
- Slightly janky controls
- The mechanics behind the real-time corruption and the phone mechanic make for an awkward multitasking experience
- Gallery that, while fully unlockable from the start, still requires you to start a new game to see it.
- The gallery, while having all pictures and animation, lacks the messages and context behind the scenes, completely missing the point that it's supposed to be NTR
- No save system forces you to finish it all in one go. Couple that with the real-time corruption mechanic, and you have a game that does not respect your time.
- NTR Tag is there for a reason. There IS a pure love route if you speedrun it, but the glut of the content is behind having Peach be dicked by Bowser until she loves it.
