Game feels heavily inspired by the Fallout series of games. It even has a vault in it with ancient advanced technology that has long since been forgotten. This is neither a critique or advantage, just pointing it out to those who haven't played it yet.
Pros
Cons
Bug Examples
Note: No mods were used during my playthrough and I played version 0.19.0 Beta.
You and Shani go to Cairo to clean it out (towards the beginning of the game) and when you both step inside the basement a blank checkered screen is shown (missing render). The text just says “Shani – I…” with a blank screen.
Meeting Rabiah and Nadia in the market seems to be bugged in one stage of it. It has an exclamation point on it and when I select it I just have the option to "Leave" with nothing happening (no other options). Eventually a new option does appear but the exclamation point isn't always accurate (indicating that this is a new event that the player can do immediately).
Towards the beginning of the game, there's the recurrent lunch event that has no options for a while (at least nothing beyond "You had lunch" and that's it). Events do show up later on.
There were times if I bypassed certain events for too long they'd just get skipped entirely. It isn't a true sandbox and do whatever you want, whenever you want. There are some time constraints to some quests which is never explained to the player. I ended up having to reload an earlier save game because of this.
Sex Scenes
With the first sex scene with Ain, she gives you a titjob with you cumming all over her chest. You then ask for more and she touches your dick with her hands which makes you cum for a 2nd time without any animation or text to support it happening. She touches your dick and you just cum all over her face – so anti-climactic! This type of sex scene happens uncommonly but throughout the game. It's really disappointing and unsettling!
The first sex scene with Nadia was a huge letdown! It just says, "You keep fucking her" while never showing the sex, at all. She then gives you a blowjob which it never shows either (the cumshot in all that's shown). Come on dev, really??? Never skimp on the sex scenes! This type of stuff happens throughout the game. It's really jarring and destroys immersion!
Sex scene with Asani - It shows the MC's dick in her pussy and then it never moves, at all (no animation or anything). And then the MC just cums. The MC then decides to go for a 2nd round and fucks her ass. It never shows it and just skips it entirely for some unknown reason. The scene was a waste and so anti-climatic!
There are dozens more examples like this than just the ones listed above. The review would go on for pages if I listed them all.
Overall, the sex scenes are rushed and few are long, great scenes/events. Sometimes it shows one render saying that the MC is having sex or a blowjob and the very next render the MC is cumming, no buildup, no passion, nothing. WTF???
Animations
The author uses three types of animations in the game.
1. Average to excellent high frame rate animations
2. Click to see the next frame animations
3. Four frame animations (four frames total in the animation which looks terrible! Very choppy and low quality!)
Many of the animations also suffer from too little back and forth movement. Oftentimes, the MC's dick is only moving back and forth one inch inside the girl's pussy or mouth. It makes the sex scene look funny, especially with the MC's long and large dick.
A lot of the animations also look robotic. They look like two statues are having sex. The bare minimum to move back and forth is all that's changed during the frames of the animations frequently. Overall, the animations look very stiff.
There's no consistency and it's shocking! The author skimps hard on the animations on a regular basis!
Between the widely varying quality of the sex scenes and animations, it's probably the most jarring part of the game. Sex scenes consisting of two renders is ridiculous by any standard. Never skimp on the sex scenes! Huge mistake by the author!
Conclusion
On the plus side, the character models are great with hot females. The renders are also good to excellent. The story is generally good and the writing is above average to good.
The developer is a skilled renderer, writer, and world builder.
The huge inconsistencies with the sex scenes and animations is what damaged my viewpoint of the game. The quality goes up and down constantly and it destroys immersion on a regular basis! My advice to the developer is to fix all these problems and redo parts of the game. This often doesn't fly with donators however who always seem to want new content as opposed to fixing and improving old content.
The developer does some things really well and other things with terrible inconsistency. The game is hugely popular (top 5 on this site I believe) and it certainly is graphically stunning with hot female characters. But I don't just want a great looking game with a good story. I want the adult part of the game to shine also and it generally is a let down (with only a handful of good sex scenes in the entire game. The nudes are stunning as they're just static renders however).
The game is certainly worth a playthrough but it's full of glaring flaws and jarring inconsistencies. If the sex scenes, animations, and renders were all high quality, long (sex scenes), and immersive this would easily be a 5 star game. When I, as a player, am constantly taken out of immersion (facepalming myself) it ruins the game for me. The lost potential is huge!
Pros
- Excellent character models (some of the best on the site)
- Good to excellent renders (with issues)
- Good story (with issues)
- Good writing
- Good world building
- Likable good looking MC who is an alpha male who earns his respect
- Hot and beautiful female characters
- Unique characters
- Helpful codex
- Gallery
Cons
- Almost no corruption in the game
- Your daughter Ain starts off the game being a fuck toy with no reason behind it other then the fact that the MC is the head of the household and gets whatever he wants (literally). The wife is perfectly fine with the MC having sex with Ain (and anyone he chooses) from the start and also encourages it. It's all one big happy harem with no backstory to support it! A backstory with corrupting Ain would have added a ton to the game and story! I wanted to earn sex with her, not just be handed it on a golden platter with zero effort required.
- Renders are often too dark. I understand that this is the tone of the game but when it's too dark for the player to see important details going on due to the extreme darkness it damages immersion (user experience would have been my preference here instead of realism). A great example of this is some sex scenes are so dark that the player can't see it (imagination is required instead of making the scene a bit brighter so the player can see himself having sex).
- Renders are generally good to excellent but vary widely in quality. Some are very grainy with low quality blotchy shadowing. It's almost like the author did this intentionally for a special effect but it distracts from the otherwise good quality renders. It seems like not enough passes were done on some renders which causes the abundance of graininess and blotchy shadowing. I'm not a fan of it.
- Animations also vary widely in quality. Some are really good like the 2nd Asha blowjob and some are terrible. The author alternates between high frame rate animations, click to see the next frame animations, and four frame animations (four frames make up the entire animation which looks terrible!)
- Sex scenes are generally rushed and treated like an afterthought. Very few are long, detailed, and immersive. Most are quick, bang, thank you mam. I've give more details on this later on. There are some threesome sex events in the game but other than that, there's very few kinks to be found outside of vaginal sex and blowjobs. There are a few anal scenes but they aren't common and generally aren't done well (sometimes the anal sex isn't even shown, just described in the text).
- The game also has plenty of bugs
