I weep for what this game could have been.
I have played this game chapter by chapter as it was being released and at first I had high hopes. The first two chapters are nothing short of perfection. A slow burn that balances grind and content while setting up extra content for the future. Stuff like forcing Ciri to harvest "materials" (read cum) from monsters or animated spanking punishments which held hopes for so much more. I expected it to lean more into this aspect and have the MC slowly corrupt Ciri while mixing in some legitimately funny jokes and some pretty hot scenes with Ciri and some secondary characters like Triss.
Then came the third chapter. Now, I genuinely enjoyed the third chapter; based on content alone it's probably my favorite of them all. But it jumps into a heavy bondage and fast corruption game where Ciri is bound and violated completely against her will by a character that's different than the one you've been playing up to this point (you still control this guy though so don't worry). Like I said, I really enjoyed this part but it felt like a very different game than the first two chapters. It was clear that the creators had given into pressure to try and rush to the end result without actually building off of what had come before. I had a bad feeling that this was the beginning of the end of what could have easily been the best trainer game ever made if the creators had just stuck with what they had shown early on.
I'll be honest, the forth chapter was so bland in comparison that I honestly don't remember a ton about it. They gave a half-hearted attempt at the mechanics of the first two chapter by introducing 1 new monster for harvesting that basically followed the exact same template of the fist 3. There was also adding the option to finger Ciri when you spanked her; something that could have been great had you not spent the entire last chapter whipping her and shoving cucumbers up her cunt as an entirely different person. There was also at least one scene where a secondary character forced Ciri to eat her out without any input or anything from the player. This chapter is where it really started to feel less like a game and more like a shitty VN.
Part of why it felt like a bad VN was the addition of art commissioned from an entirely different artist with a completely different style. It went from animations on a softer, more rounded style to static CGs with harsh lines and janky mouths that I wouldn't want to put anything near, let alone a dick. The new art itself really isn't bad, I'd probably enjoy a game just by that artist, but the styles clash so much that it looks awful by comparison with whats around it. Especially when they can't get character designs consistent across the two styles so you have no idea who's doing what. This art is accompanied by some of the absolute worst writing I've ever seen in a porn game. I found myself completely skipping over entire plot relevant sex scenes just because of the awful writing that accompanied it. And they really start to stretch out these couple of poorly written scenes to try to make the game seem longer. Seriously, if you ever find yourself writing "pulsating" or "turgid" to describe a dick, just stop typing and never start writing again. They really need to learn that less is more.
Chapter 5 was probably the most disappointing of them all. It drops all pretense of what made the first couple of chapters so amazing in favor of more completely static CGs that don't match the rest and more awful scene writing. You basically grind by clicking the same couple of options for an hour and then get hit by 3 or 4 sex scenes all back to back to back with no break or any real player input. There's one choice that even slightly matters and then it's just whether you can overcome the most boring fight the game has to see all the endings (took me 3 tries just spamming the same move over and over). Then the game just ends and you try to remember why you were so excited for the last chapter to be released. You check the gallery to see if you missed everything but you didn't. Not even the completely pointless scene where Ciri adopts a stray cat.
Overall, I'd say play the first two or three chapters (depending on how much you like bondage) and then dream about how promising the game is and the kinds of things you want from later chapters without actually playing them only to be disappointed. 3/5 stars for 3/5 good chapters.
