Very good. I am personally very tired of these VNs in which you and your daughters are a couple of days away from performing oral sex on each other, with your choices in dialogues not mattering because the cock-hungry girl that happens to be virgin and yet super attracted to you will no matter what initiate everything... This game is a polar opposite of that.
You are a normal guy, a bit on the loser side. You almost don't dare trying to flirt with girls, and consider your words carefully as to not scare them away... and yet when you take your courage to get out of your comfort zone, you end up humiliated. This is the normal tough life of a man, and yet not every men; but why is it yours? Can you do anything about it? What if you grind very hard at work for weeks? Then you'll get promotions, then you'll get success, then you'll get bitches!
Well, in a videogame that might work but in real life, it's neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition. That's where the game shines; it's not about taking one good decision that will unlock everything, it's about putting all of your efforts into bettering yourself, one improvement at a time, each of them making a very
tiny difference in real life, but each of these differences comforting you in your choice to give up apathy.
One of those tiny differences is making a friend, a female friend. Quite gorgeous without overshadowing the main girl you are into, which is a good thing. She's her own character, and it's uncertain whether you'll end up being more than friends or not eventually. At least it feels like it's not going to be
her initiating everything out of cock hungriness, and that if you want to get out of the friendzone, it is going to requires
efforts from you. That's a very good thing for a game: good games have challenges, challenges with risks and stake; that's what you need to make sex rewarding.
However, the game is too short of content as of now (though I'd say the slow burn is there for understandable purposes). Also, if the renders are often very gorgeous and the girls attractive, you sometimes wonder how the characters would look like if they were "real humans instead of characters", and that doesn't happen in some other high production value VNs, which means there's room for improvement. I'm also of the opinion that a semi-sandbox would be ideal for this kind of game; it'd feel better to grind to the top yourself, to
feel the efforts, and have it feel more rewarding when you make those progress (having to make money by working extra hours, buy costumes yourself, have free roams in which you can try your luck with random girls, or take time to read books, with the challenge to have to manage your efforts well otherwise you'll miss sex opportunities, etc.).
All in all... I am impatient to see the story evolve. I would really like the scenario to keep this "challenging" aspect to climbing the social ladder and seducing people around you. I want characters to remain realistic in their interaction. My final wish would be for the game to get a lot of non-lazy endings and epilogues that are not only determined by a final choice; several by characters if possible, some in which you are romantically into a girl (either your boss, your co-worker, your neighbor, random girls, or your main crush), some in which you have dominated them into submissive objects (in a way that still fits their personalities), some in which girls agree to have a three-way relationship, bad endings in which you end up a rich lonely asshole, or a crazy guy in a psychiatric hospital with a shattered ego, or a broke lonely guy... I think the game is promising enough to deserve being fleshed out to the max of its potential. The sky is the limit!
