ntr?
pls say no
I was more interested in the type of tags that make or break a game for some players as in will it be a harem game or will it have NTR.
Not a fan of the genre so no, I will not go out of my way to insert ntr content. It's a bit hard for me to go into details about a harem due to me not writing/planning that far ahead yet.

I am planning on side chicks that don't affect relations with the main ones, and main girls will have the relationship focus, again no real downside due to how open sexuality is in this setting.

To be fair "harem" on this site mostly just means "you can hook up with any/all of the characters you want without consequences."

Looks interesting but I'm curious if they used the term android correctly. Typically speaking Androids are just robots who lack free will or have free will but are still treated as property so stolen would be more accurate than "kidnapped". If however we're talking cyborgs ie mechanically enhanced humans than kidnapped would be correct. So which is it for those who have played it?

I can totally relate to that part in the game where Cyberpunk crashed. It happened so often that I've just given up on it for now and looking for something to keep me occupied until it properly gets patched. I think this game could very well end up being one of my favourites on this site. The visuals alone caught my eye. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story leads to next.

ima go with android. in this world seems like becoming a cyborg is rather easy-ish.

Androids often have free will within set parameters, such as always remaining compliant with Asimov's Laws (when those exist in the setting). Some are very highly sophisticated and even self-aware (think Android from Harem Hotel lol..) And although yes, they are treated as property, that's more like chattel than simple property. Since one would report a slave as having been "kidnapped," rather than "stolen," the same would be appropriate for an Android of any but the very lowest quality...

Actually slaves were typically reported as stolen rather than kidnapped due to the view among slave holders, and most laws related to them, as property that was less than human. Case in point in 1834 in Tennessee a man named John Murrell was sentenced to 10 years for "slave-stealing"; not kidnapping. It's worth noting chattel would also be stolen as opposed to kidnapped.

As to the question of free will unless you have the ability to act outside of set parameters it's not really free is it; at best it's just a fairly convincing simulation.

Anyway still doesn't answer the question of if they're android or cyborgs.

I've been gaming for 30+ years, so I'm not some newbie with a PC trying to play on max settings. My build falls well within recommended specs. Just because you had minor issues, doesn't mean they don't exist for other people. As most realize, it's nearly impossible to find graphics cards in stores right now. Even last gen AMD cards, like the one I have, currently cost more online than the MSRP for a 3080. :FacePalm:

Pretty good prologue. World building through radio/tv snippets in the background is good for immersion. Good job there. Nice environmental renders to capture the cyberpunk setting. No problems with Engrish. Natural sounding dialogues for the most part. Decently interesting main plot.

Now for some criticism. The font. Yea, it gives off that neon lights feel, but it's hard on the eyes. Try to find something else that has a better balance of style and utility. Add a text box with transparency slider so you have more freedom when picking a font.

The MC's behavior should be more defined. Maybe you tried to write him in a mundane way, but it kinda feels like a typical simpy teen MC in a grown man's body. It doesn't really fit his background (merc, soldier, badass). For example, the Doxy chick is being rude af and he just sits there for 30 minutes and begs for service. I mean, he can still be a good natured guy like the script is saying while not being such a pushover.

Another example is when he meets the Droid and he says no to taking her with him. He repeats no 3-4 times and then says "fine" after she says please. This interaction is a bit weird. He knows how dangerous it is to be messing with this droid. He is adamant that he wont take her with him, but changes his mind for no good reason. The natural way this event plays out would be a set up where his hand is forced. Maybe cops arrive and they gotta get the fuck out of there. Maybe she gives him an actual reason to tag along. Maybe Mel convinces him somehow.

Also, when he hears the voice of his ex, he has quite an unnatural reaction. He is too nonchalant about the whole thing and basically goes "hmmm, that's weird." Normally, a person in a groggy state would not be so sure that it is her voice, especially when he assumes she died 5 years ago. He could be thinking it's a familiar voice, but I don't think it's natural for him to jump to the conclusion that his dead gf is alive and is the one behind the android abductions.

Basically, you need to work on creating a persona for the MC. Flesh out the character in your mind first. What type of person is he? What does he value? What are his quirks? What's his main motivation? Does he have any speech patterns? Is he curt? Talkative? Analytical? Survivalist? Altruistic? Quick to anger? Sarcastic? Witty? Reserved? Thinks with penis? Etc etc. Once you understand the character, their actions and dialogue during any event would essentially write itself. It's not just limited to the MC either. You can do this for all characters.

YES! This is the type of feedback I'm looking for! Thank you, this is how I improve!

Sure! Just the generic stuff you know like, anal, bjs, handies, maybe some voyeur, 3somes shit like that.

Extreme stuff like say "Robot sex", or prosthetic stuff will have to be in high demand in order for me to implement it, and it will also be avoidable.
Ah yes vanilla

The game looks good, and although the story at the moment does not show much it would be STUPID to qualify this as a bad game considering that it is only the prologue (there are games that after version 0.5 become something completely different).
Good luck to the dev.

Feel sorry for the dev for getting an unwarranted 1* review right off the bat. That could really hurt the momentum of a new game.

Their basis is that the story isn't interesting at all lol. What a subjective and useless review for a game in the prologue. There are some problems with the writing here and there, but the story is certainly not uninteresting. It's a good set up for the story to come. Visual story telling is done pretty well. Already some mystery and underlying forces that ties into MC's past. Atmospheric setting. It's impossible to rate something with so little content to go on, but it's certainly not 1* game. I usually report shitty reviews if they break the rules, but I don't think this one technically broke any rules lol.

Yeah that one star review is definitely not deserved. I mean, it's a prologue. It is to set the scene for the upcoming story. And to top it off, it's a first release. So yeah, we haven't gotten to the meat of everything yet. Giving it a one star review saying the story is bad is uncalled for, seeing as the main story hasn't even started yet.
