I personally enjoy this game quite a bit even with NTR content as it falls well within the theme of the story. However I'm hoping a few aspects are addressed over the next few chapters as it's becoming noticeable that the dev is very loosely following Freytag's Pyramid.The multiple paths, high quality renders, and new animations are gonna have to take time to make.
This is also a one man team and his first game so this is very has been very impressive so far considering the experiences/resources has.
I do wonder how long this game is gonna be when it's finished and how much content is in it. Tbh I doubt it pleases everybody since most NSFW games have trouble doing that, but I have confidence that this project will have a good amount of chapters where almost everyone will be pleased. I'm also curious to see how many paths there'll be since it doesn't seem like the dev is done introducing them.
The main issue I have with the story is the lack of any real exposition aside from topics related to the demonic world. We're give little information about his personality and the relationships he shares with the other characters. The beginning of the story feels rushed, as if the dev wanted to get straight into the plot without the proper buildup. While not necessarily an issue the MC is caught in between a blank slate and well defined character, which is similar to Commander Shepard of the Mass Effect Trilogy.
We also lack context on the world MC inhabits. The setting is lackluster with the primary locations being school and MC's apartment complex. We're lacking the context on the size of the city and position of key locations (such as the school and Lydia's apartment). What adds to my anxiety is the introduction of a demonic world which doubles the work required to develop it's setting.
The inciting incident is a point that already shows some improvement with the scene in chapter 3 where MC's mom addresses the book. It feels less like a throwaway device to justify MC gaining demonic powers and more like an integral story element.
My best guess towards the length of this game is anywhere from 16 - 24 chapters in total to tell a fleshed out story. The theme is already well developed and the characters (aside from MC) are starting to show signs of character development. The dev has also shown his ability to set up branching paths, which adds weight to the choices we make and adds to the allure of this particular game. As long as he takes his time and avoids trying to rush into certain story elements this game could be one of the few jewels on this site.
