This will have heavy spoilers sprinkled in. If I marked all of them, it would be entirely censored, so I advise not reading this if you want to play. I played as a mostly morally man, faithful to Katherine, who shared her, and reached ending 8/8. The game is huge, took me half a month to reach even one of the endings, playing half an hour every evening or so.
I have to say, the story was just serviceable. That might not seem like high praise, but I'm someone who doesn't really care much for the story if the characters aren't good.
So, the characters. Before I talk about some individually, I have to say a few things on the character designs.
- The still faces are usually very pretty/well done, but laughing seems to always morph them into a monstrousity.
- The naked models are unironically better proportioned than the clothed models, or at least that's true of Katherine and Andrea. While clothed, their bum seems to grow at least thrice as big, which is genuinely weird to look at.
Wayne. He's okay, all in all. I do think that sometimes he's glazed a bit too hard by every breathing creature around him, even when he's said nothing clever or done nothing impressive. Still, he's never too arrogant (at least not in the "help your friends" route, that's probably different in the "control them" route) and he's sweet to his wife if you choose him to be.
Katherine. I really liked her, she's sweet and sassy and spicy, all in the right amounts. I can safely say that she was the highlight of the game for me. There's no reason given for her and Wayne split, but oh well.
Sarah. Maybe because I didn't lean into her romantically, but she repeated the same exact character arc a solid 5 times. "I'm not good enough! Yes I am! Oh no, I fucked up, I'm the lowest form of life! Screw that, I kick ass!". Honestly, I could've done with half of those being cut down.
Rose. At least in ending 8, she does quite literally nothing. Again, maybe because I didn't lean into her.
Andrea. She also does nothing, but is treated as the biggest deal. She also almost makes out with you randomly literal seconds before meeting up with her husband, whom she sacrificed everything to get back.
Dahlia. She's probably the cutest model in the game, and a sweetheart. I don't know if she works amazingly as a Kath replacement, but at least she had an happy ending.
Sondheim. Was genuinely scary and the better villain of the story. Someone that could have been defeated by the characters instead of a literal cosmic being that's never explained.
Yes, that's a dig at Sanguis Regis. I genuinely think the only reason she had a human form was to show her naked in one scene. She also shows up so many times, almost does something, and then goes "your time has not come yet. Spoooookyyyy" and leaves. She stopped being scary after she did that for the 20th time.
Now, the gameplay. Or rather, the choice system. It usually lets you choose between explicitly evil and explicitly good. Other choices are whether you share Katherine or not. Overall, it does feel like you're shaping Wayne's path.
The renders/graphics/animations were all good. Some of the places are genuinely off putting, like Sondheim's house. When the camera went around corners, even if I knew the game couldn't handle a fast moving jump scare or anything, I was still on edge. Great stuff.
The pacing of the story was the main drawback for me. A scene will go from normal to "everyone is now naked and bouncing on each other" in exactly 0 panels. It also does the opposite, going from sweet lovemaking to "WE NEED TO RUN, THE DEMON IS SPREADING LEGOS ON ALL OUR FLOORS". This happens for every single change of scenery/pace, and you kinda have to get used to it.
Overall, I still enjoyed the game a good amount. I recommend it. Not sure to who specifically... There wasn't much sharing content, but it seems like there's LOADS of harem content, so if you like having 5+ women foaming at the mouth for you, this is for you. And even if you don't and play like I did, you might still end up enjoying it like me.
