A very slow game. I found myself skipping VERY early which is never a good sign.
I think the problem is the narrative is such a light touch. It takes a while before you understand what the game's for in the game itself. If you hadn't read the intro on the first post you'd have no idea where the story is going. It's so mundane. You're with a girl, you move in to a new place, she's got a friend, you go to work, you meet up for dinner. It's all very pedestrian, there's nothing to draw you in. I don't mean "hurr durr there's no sex scenes" (there is) but there's nothing that makes you want to turn the page so to speak. Like even the choices don't matter. It's not like "click this to influence the plot, click that to get points with character x" but more "what order do you want the dialogue to be shown in" but you need to click it all anyway so why bother? It's a case of choice for choices sake and it's completely unnecessary.
I think another issue I have is how static it feels. The characters are nice looking but they don't seem to be that animated. I'm not talking about animations but like when they're talking it's just the same face. There's no reactions. So your wife offers your spare room to her best friend, saving her from being homeless and she's got the same look on her face as if she's just been told the mail's been delivered. I mean Jesus, there's a scene where a lassie has an orgasm and what you get is a render of her stretching and she says "well that was nice" like she's just woken up from a nap. The dialogue is so wooden
Apparently post nut clarity sounds like this nowadays
*hmmm* Well that was nice. I feel great.
Yeah? It sure looked like you enjoyed it
Now it's your turn. Do you want to use the wand too? Or maybe you'd like me to eat your pussy? That's your favourite right?
Oh yes. I'd love that.
Like... what? No emotion, no energy. Like the characters themselves are reading from a script.
All in all I found the game lazy. As I mentioned the game's so static and it feels like corners are being cut. It's just a talking heads simulator with the occasional sex scene. Anything else is bare bones. You play a sexy wee game and there's instances where two characters kiss but more often than not you just see one of the characters doing it, in others a character removes some clothing but you don't see the character you just see other characters going "wow what a cute wee butt". A good story will show don't tell. This game tells.
