Recently gave this game a try after I had it bookmarked for quite a while. Really liked the setting and atmosphere. Granted I haven't played that many "f95 games" so far, but this one is probably in my Top 3 rn. MC doesn't stand out negatively, which is always a plus.
Couple notes:
-The music fits the game perfectly and is right down my alley. I usually listen to my own favourites while playing AVNs, because the 'original' music often is not my thing, but not in this case here.
-While I don't really dislike any of the potential LIs, (so far) I actually felt like pursuing only a few. Victoria love route for romance (first sex in chapter 11). Chandra, Abby, Kleo for sex. Wouldn't mind some more romance content for Chandra/Abby in the future, though. Those two are great.
-About Gloria, I find it interesting how my opinion changed the more I played the game. At first, I was sure I wouldn't see her as LI. She was the one to protect, nothing more. Not sure why. Maybe because Henry as a surrogate father was always around. Maybe because she came across as a vulnerable child.
The more I played however, the more I noticed that characterization doesn't really do her justice. Especially towards the end, after Henry's supposed death, she's playing the hand life has dealt her. She faces the challenges and protects the ones she cares about. I'm curious how that relationship develops further.
The whole virginity aspect, it doesn't matter to me and I typically try to ignore it as best as possible. Same goes for the dream sequences. They weren't great, but didn't really matter for me either.
