Fantastic game.
Pros:
- The dialogue. It's snappy, engaging, witty, and different characters absolutely feel alive through them. Different characters talk differently and it SHOWS us their personality and who they are rather than the game just telling it to us.
- The humor is actually funny in this game. Absolutely terrible how the bar is so low for humor in porn games that this needs to be pointed out, but the characters feel witty and clever when they're making jokes and the 'internet humor' is kept to a few well placed jokes and never overused.
- The main conflict is actually maturely written and has a very competent writing direction. Not just the 'oh, the humans and the goddess are the evil ones actually' spin that's been done a million times over. The dream where the MC remembers talking to her father and him openly admitting that peace between humans and demons was fundamentally impossible due to their very natures being completely different and how demons interacted with the world made it unsafe for humans. Dev, if you ever read this review, standing ovation for this decision. It's not a simple good guys against bad guys plot, the differences of the demons and humans are literally irreconcilable and the conflict for survival took extreme measures from both sides where both feel fully justified for totally understandable reasons. SO much better than typical porn slop.
- The diologue and descriptions during sex scenes gets downright nasty. I fucking love it. Piss, bad smells, tears... and a lot nastier stuff. It's raw, visceral and unfiltered, and it REALLY stands out above other game's depictions of sex that's far more sanitized and samey compared to this.
- Watersports, plenty of it and the game isn't ashamed about it. Very hot, and not tiptoeing around it either, just full on embracing it.
- The Doll. Sure, the snarky and emotionless servant is a huge trope for characters, but it's well done and she serves as a good foil to the main character. She's useful, but never overrides the MC being the one to drive the plot forward, and how you can use her to talk about your already unlocked scenes and 'report' to her on what you've been up to is a nice touch to get a way to describe how the MC feels about the things she's doing.
Neutral:
- AI images. They're fairly good on the consistency of the characters, but still have all the normal problems the AI images typically do. Some people will whine and scream and cry that they're AI at all, but really they're more than fine. Would obviously prefer a dedicated artist to give this game its own unique feeling, but I'll take this a million times over than a starting out dev not being able to afford to get an artist on board with their project and the game not being made because of it.
- I'm not at all into the 'harsh' femdom, so whenever the MC starts acting super cruel or hardcore degrades people it's not sexy to me. It usually never lasts too long, and the diologue is still well written, but it's not my thing. It isn't bad enough to get into the cons section though as she isn't on full bitch mode all the time and her diologue is usually much softer and at times affectionate even if it suits her, so she doesn't come off like a raging, angry bitch or anything. But not quite my cup of tea.
Cons:
- Unlike most people, I actually prefer a bit of gameplay in my games. Not saying it needs RPG maker combat, but something. Mini games, especially really quick and engaging ones, would be a nice touch if used sparingly. Very sparingly, but still.
- While the dialogue is well paced within each scene, the overall pacing of the corruption is lightning fast for every character I've gone after so far. Would be nice to have a slightly slower progression and have it be more obvious that the MC really is in a weakened state and needs to be smart and cunning to get her way rather than just brute forcing it.
- I do somewhat wish we had an option to be nicer to Juno. Sure, she was a rival for Kael's affections, but I do wish there had been a way to not be such a bitch to her while corrupting the town.
TLDR:
Unexpected gem of a game. Great writing, hot sex scenes, not afraid to get nasty and kinky with the things it gets up to. Absolute gold here, and I'll be eagerly awaiting more.
