--- Visual Experience: 11/10 ---
The renders and 3D models in the game are probably of the highest quality among dozens of 3D visual novels I've played. They are simply astonishing. It doesn't take long to complete the game, and there aren't a lot of scenes, but each scene is extremely detailed and refined. I can see an insane amount of effort behind every single scene (both sexual and nonsexual ones), every single character model. It's like the game takes the best screenshots for you. I've never seen such craftsmanship in any other game.
Personally, all girl models are breathtakingly attractive to me, which happens extremely rarely among over a hundred games I've tried on this site. Their apparels are especially elegantly designed; the amount of attention to detail dazzled me.
The sex scenes are also incredibly arousing; even if the animations are not as well-crafted as the artwork, but they are at least very smooth and enjoyable.
I never wrote so many words so unreservedly praising visual experience in a review. I did so this time because this game deserves it.
--- Audio Experience: 8/10 ---
Almost forgot to mention that audio experience is quite good, too. Served its purposed and fit in the atmosphere. I love the moaning voices, which are pretty erotic and enjoyable, unlike a lot of games with horrible moaning sound effect that I decided it's best to turn it off.
--- Storytelling: 7/10 ---
Unlike the artwork, the main story unfortunately has nothing spectacular; just a common cultist story with a touch of Lovecraftian vibe. It's short (can be completed within an hour, provided you didn't spend too much time on the sex scenes lol), and it twists and ends abruptly, like what remained in your memory after you watched a movie with 8x fast forward speed.
The plot by itself is probably five out of ten. The reason I gave it seven is simply because the world building is quite immersive; the dialogs are actually pretty decently written. Each character actually talks in a way they are supposed to, which is pretty basic in the writing criteria but I can't believe how great a portion of self-acclaimed "visual novels" failed miserably in accomplishing this. Even though the core story is mediocre, the impressive presentation of the story actually made up for it.
--- Gameplay: 5/10 ---
Pretty straight-forward point-and-click. There're just not really enough stuff to click that matters. Interactions are very limited. The game tells you, in theory, that you could combine two items to craft something new, but in the real playthrough you only get to do this TWICE, to make ONE resulted item.
What's good is that at least dialog choices determine some stats, which will primarily result in different endings, plus some dialog differences and sex scene unlocks. This part of design is also applied at a very basic level. Just, like, BASIC. Nothing wrong and not enough application here to be worth talking about. But well, at least it served its purpose fair and square.
The minigame during Master Sex Scenes is an absolute garbage. Thankfully the dev knows they are bad at this and provides an option to ignore it.
--- Conclusion ---
I recommend this game with 5 stars, because the dev is apparently humble enough to be fully aware of their own strengths and weaknesses. They provided a pretty nice gallery (in the latest update 0.8.12 the gallery is further improved) to show their magnificent artwork, and they minimized everything they are not that good with, and tried their best to improve the overall quality of life.
And resulted in such a game, with must-play pros and limited cons.
Still, I hope there's a longer story, more side quests, more interactions and more branchings. But nothing is perfect, I guess.
