8-9/10
(v0.5a)
Good game, that is becoming better the more you play.
Author's improvements through the life of this game are incredible.
Although this score is for the second half of the game - not the first one.
...but please, no remake.
Remakes. Are. Sin.
Art:
+ Great models. 10/10. Especially love the FMC.
+ Good environments.
- But something's off with the scenes. They shouldn't feel this plain - like staring at a white wall - not with such good models.
I think it's the flaccid lighting. I guess it's one of these times when the scenes would really benefit from the colored shadows - contrasting with the main light source.
Story:
...actually, the same as art.
Not mentioning an overly stretched intro (no, it's not a build-up - you can deliver the same with much less time and word count; or even better - without it at all - just throw the team into the enemy layer and deliver their history during the hot sex scenes)
But other than that!
+ The story is very good.
Motivations and obstacles, that characters have to juggle, are believable and complex - and they feed directly into the hot sex scenes. And into promises on them.
- But the delivery is, well - like art. Flaccid?
The words are good - and hot at times - but there's too little contrast between different sentences.
So you read one sentence. Then the next one - and it'll have the same tone, the same emotion, the same thought.
And the words are good. But then you read the next one. And the next one. And there's almost no difference.
Like staring at a white wall.
Weird feeling.
Choices:
Some - irrelevant.
+ Some are good. With several foreshadowings, and when you make a choice - it's a choice of a kink (in a porn game! shocking).
"You into femdom?" Yes/No.
Without taking you out of the story. Well blended into the narrative. The choice that is relevant to the player's personality and the core meaning of the porn game.
From now on this is literally my golden standard of game choices.
- But some choices are... "You want more content? Act like a piece of shit. You want it, don't you, you fricking fuck. You want this content, you slime of a human?"
No, I don't want more content. That's exactly why I downloaded this fucking game.
Jesus 'Fucking' Christ.
So in conclusion:
"Why's the score so high if it's that controversial?"
Cos the sex scenes are hot.
Cos the story's funneling seamlessly into the sex scenes.
Cos characters (and their obstacles) are complex enough - so the tension in the sex scenes is equally complex and entertaining. Without it becoming just stale ass porking.
Cos the author improved an incredible amount through the course of this single game.
And I'm looking for more.
P.s.:
...and cos I even learned something new about the game design after this game. Yeah.
