Just played this game for the first time today. Played through it from start to finish. Here is my analysis.
In terms of production quality the game presents itself at a professional level good job there.
In terms of graphics / visual art the game is great. I can't complain about that.
In terms of the code when it comes to doing what it was designed to do, and not having bugs. It seems well coded.
In terms of the writing... Well, it starts out decent enough, but then starts going downhill.
The game is definitely missing an NTR tag. All of chapter 3 and the losing ending put it into that category. It's a trainer game where the actual fun training... Well that all happens when your girl is kidnapped. And someone else trains her, not you. I mean it is you, you take over that character, but it's not you... Since our protagonist is a SHAPE SHIFTER for fucks sake it would have been just as easy to write it so that we take over that as that Leo guy as the trainer in this part, but no that never happened. So we lose our chick, and then this dude goes and chains her up, and whips her, and toys with a dildo, and fruit, and lets fellas user her 3 at a time, and do some lesbian shit, and blindfolds and gags her and actually does some hardcore BDSM training... Then we gotta go back to playing Mr Cuck after this guy actually does some decent training? No... What the fuck why? Why go back to the shitty training portion after shoving a good training portion right in the middle of the game!? It's the equivalent of playing a first person shooter where you are stuck with a pistol for levels 1 and 2, but you get an assault rifle on level 3... but right after level 3 you go back to a pistol for the next and final two levels...
At the very start of the game we meet her as a 14-year-old, and can choose to read her a bedtime story and do chores and stuff. Then it's like flash forward 4 years all of the sudden? This intro part was too short I think. I'm not saying we should have boned her when she was 14, but the opportunity was definitely missed to build some sort of stronger bond with her at that age and it went by way to quickly.
The game itself feels like it was modeled after Witch Trainer.
https://f95zone.to/threads/witch-trainer-silver-mod-v1-37-4-silver-studio-games.1697/ It's got a similar style of gameplay.
The minigames are not fun with that card battle crap. I guess some people like that sort of thing, but not me.
The grind is ridiculous... I mean you can cheat past most of it... Even on easy you are in for hours of grind. I don't think there is any reward for playing on hard or normal compared to easy. Also, you can cheat money, and items and stuff for free so that's nice even with the built in cheats and easy mode still has some grind.
Far too little of the game is actually based on Ciri is a big part of the problem. All of the other girls have there own little sex scenes. Which is fine, but it feels like that main girl was neglected and lacked enough scenes and deep enough training scenes. For instance you can night visit her, and you can mind control her a bit... Thing is it starts out with "Show me your tongue" then "Grab Boobs" and I'm like alright, we are going to be doing all sorts of fun mind control stuff... Nope... that little titty grab and stick out tongue is as far as it actually goes with the mind control... It don't mean you won't have to grind up your mind control abilities though. Sure you perv on her a little in her sleep but it's missing scenes with her badly.
My main gripe is the thing peaks in the middle, and not with the protagonist either... The fact that chapter 3 is the good training portion of the game kills the rest of the game. Chapters 1 and 2 are buildup, and chapters 4 and 5 are let down. Only chapter 3 is good stuff.
The thing is if you are into the hardcore training style you are going to want the whole thing to be chapter 3, and if you are not into the hardcore training style you are going to want to skip chapter 3 for the more "vanilla peeping tom / sleep molestor" crap. So either chapter 3 is going to ruin the other chapters, or vice versa. It's as if the creator(s) got board mid game went totally off the rails spiced shit up to the max... Then went Nah... but they were making something great when they did. Chapter 3 shits on the whole rest of the game though is the problem. The whole rest of the game feels like a turd when not in chapter 3. That Leo dude should be the protagonist not the shape shifter.
They should make a new game, and just titled the thing "Chapter 3" and make Leo the main dude and follow that dude around and have him be the trainer for the entire game and train whatever bitches he comes along. That would be an excellent game.
