This game is an absolute gem! I don't feel that enough, even with modern big games with a few hundred employees spanning multiple studios, let alone an adult game.
I really enjoy the art style. It's done really well. The gameplay is rather engaging. It does something unique, it's sorta like a sandbox, with little to no grinding, but the open world still works. Other games that go the no grindy sandbox route still feels like a plain vn with a sandbox feel to widen its potential audience. Yet, I don't get that feeling with this one.
Another really strong aspect of this game is its charecters. They all have a good personality to them. Other corruption/mind control games charecters all, or most, feel the same. As of its the same personality on multiple charecters with different skins, for different fetishes. All the personalities, and different designs really make the charecters pop, and it's easy to find yourself confused on which girl is best girl. (for me, a toss up between Kana, and Pixie).
Plus, this game did something I haven't seen yet that I haven't seen yet I wanna mention with as spoiler free as I can. There's a point we're a girl becomes under your control. You know nothing about this girl, but once things settle down, you realize how your actions effect others in the world. It was both heartwarming and sad at the same time. What are these feelings in a porn game?!?! These aren't the feelings I expected damn it!
Alas, the last great thing about this game, the story. There is a story! It's not some half written mess, thrown together to make some sort of background to explain why the charecter has his powers. On the contrary, it's.. Dare I say interesting? At first I wasn't feeling it. General revenge plot, that almost seems completely overshadowed and irrelevant compared to the mysteries that are thrown in our path. It's rather interesting and I'm looking forward to more!
It's also the first game to make me want to replay it, out of curiosity that I missed something. Games with choices often make me want to restart in order to change a specific choice or do something differently. In which I will, then get bored and never play it again. I don't feel annoyed that I want to replay it, instead I actually look forward to it!
The only downside, at a specific part of the game, the game changes. Storyline makes sense as to why it changes when I think about it. Yet doesn't make it feel less odd. Sorta as if the dev decided to take the gameplay in a different direction halfway through development without changing the beginning, which I also understand because I saw the dev mention he doesn't want to. Force the players to restart the game if they can help it. It does make a random tutorial mid game however.
