I held off on reviewing this game for a little while. But then I realized that after playing it off and on for a few days, I really needed to put my thoughts down. Some games I download, try out, and am done with in 20 minutes... not this one.
First off the biggest complaint is barely one, and that's that the game is in development. So as to be expected there's some rough patches and a general lack of content when you feel like there should be something there. Secondly the other minor complaint I have is that there's a little bit of grindyness that goes on that feels a little repetitive, but honestly, that could also be chalked up to it being in development or just that it changes as you progress through the game. I don't know.
Now that the cons are out of the way, the pros are pretty much everything else. I actually found the story sparse which lets you fill in a lot of your own backstory where you want mentally. But what's there is nice and consistent and well done. The game play is solid, and the only thing I wasn't huge on in terms of game play mechanics were the whole traveling through the woods situation. But otherwise the map and movement feels really solid once you get it and you actually start to get a feel for moving around the city.
The character interactions are generally very interesting, and feel well done in their situations. School kids act like school kids for the most part, adults act the way you'd hope..... assuming you're living in a perverted lust fueled world. The option for automatic clothing replacement is a bit fantastic, but a GREAT addition to the game and well appreciated.
At first I wasn't sure how I'd like the chibi style character profile but I quickly not only grew to accept it, but like it. It's simple and informative and the wear and tear on clothing is a great little perk.
All told I look forward to future versions of this game and would suggest anyone check it out even if text based games aren't normally your thing.
