    Nah....it doesn't matter how great the visuals look, if I can't stand the MC's personality, I cant do it. I think the dev is under the impression that "negging" is a valid approach to wooing women, and I just cant play an MC who is written to be dense and just...dumb. He's dumb. He's a zoomer with zero conversational skills, and that impacts the writing HEAVILY, to the point where its just actually a cringefest.

    EDIT: I have been informed that the Dev will be re-working the first part of the game, and will update my review accordingly when that happens.

    One of the better games I played recently. Stunning visuals & models. Animations were smooth. Looks pretty good so far. Can't wait to see where the story is heading with the demon figure(who's hot too). All the best and looking forward to more updates!

    Part of me hates how all the girls in this game could just about get away with the name Victoria

    Also part of me hates that I had a crush on a girl in highschool that looked almost identical to every character model in this game :KEK:

    Animations are nice
    Story isn't much yet (atleast in my opinion)
    Dev somehow nailed my type unironically (other than the batwings on them)

    Yeah Idk not much to say, just kind of amusing that ALL the characters remind me so much of someone in my life.

    + Graphics is really good, it's different than others.
    + Face expressions are nice
    + Smooth natural animations - among the best there is
    + Nice assess
    + good female voice of the narrator

    not a fan of

    - piercing in the nose
    - the dark vibe and demons
    - dark eyes on z girls so you can't see them properly

    looking forward to more updates (y) :giggle:

    The game’s looking awesome in terms of graphics, the girls are stunning, and the story’s going great so far. Really hope it keeps developing well and doesn’t turn into one of those games where the girls just throw themselves at the MC. It’s off to a good start—keep up the great work! Can’t wait for more.

    Wow. Nice looking animations man. And the characters are gorgeous as well... . Can-t wait for what's next. Interesting story too. Excited for some scenes with that demon. The game has some great potential for sure.

    Brother got a good game here. The narrative is good, the girls are hot, and the flow goes smooth. There's only two bad things: No "action" scene, you know what I mean, yet (v0.11), and the other thing that bothered me a bit was the girls faces. All of them looks like having the same face, with alt makeups.

    In sum, a game with a lot of potential. Keep the work, dev.

    I finished the first two episodes and enjoyed the renders. The story is just starting but a bit predicable. The animations are excellent but there are really only two so far. The characters are unique to each other and fun in different ways which makes the story more engaging. Sexy girls in proportion but our protagonist has a beer can unit that is not in sync with the rest of the renders/characters. Slow burn will need several episodes if you want to see any real adult content.

    For the current state of the game, the amount of cons in this game prevent me from giving it an excellent score.
    I really like the models, sounds animations and graphics but that's it which currently the game has going for it. The setting and plot is meh, I don't mind the look of MC but it can be negative point for most players. There are two ways this game can get 5 stars from me: excellency in lewd content or improving on weaknesses in plot. So this definitely deserves following.

    There seems to be NTR-ish content. One of the love interest have a boyfriend and it seems he's bully type and mc seems more like submissive type so I don't except any good from that content. The landlady's husband is also alive as well.

    The MC is really ugly, like the characters in the "Ugly Guy" series and his appearance is overemphasized throughout the story. At least he could be average-looking. It's distasteful that he's so visually present and constantly receives compliments and girls hitting on his appearance.

    His personality doesn't have much to hold either. He's scared to take off his shirt in a dare game, yet tries to act manly in other situations. When a he and love interest is 'kidnapped' as a joke, he does nothing. The girl next to us nearly had a panic attack and he doesn't even punch the kidnapper. All girls throw themselves to him in the first moment. The lack of real relationship progress is disappointing, On our first day, we even peep on a girl masturbating in her own room. The next day, she trusts this stranger with her photoshoots and even allows him to grope her at a party. The sexual content is only rape-y including peeping on a girl and grinding with a really drunk girl.

    Also we get constantly comments on him being French and everyone want to learn French from him, even his teacher. It sounds like meme at some point.

    The story is set in a European town, but nearly all the young girls look Asian or half-Asian, with dark features and being really short. Except for one, all the girls have black hair and dark brown eyes, making them look too similar and quickly becoming boring. According to the developer, the MC is 6ft tall, while the girls are below his shoulders, making them around 5ft or shorter. Being short is not the issue, but because of the size difference, we see him even more in the scenes visually.

    I like the GUI and in game walkthrough so far. The landlady is very attractive as well. Unfortunately she doesn't have much screentime.

    I gave this an overall of poor, though perhaps it could stretch to average, but the mc is just too awful.

    You play as a supremely ugly french boy with discomforting hair and constant closups of his huge lips. His uglineess and the constant focus on his face really detracts from the game.

    But that's not all, the MC is also cowardly in an almost overused french-meme way - he immediately backs down when attacked but then has the audacity to start acting unconvincingly macho after and in other scenes he panics that girls might see him with shirt off or that he saw a sex toy. Pathetic.

    He is also rude in many conversations, I couldn't figure out if this is because he is an accurately portrayed french char of if the devs think thats how decent people act.

    The graphics are pretty poor, they are not outright awful but they are poor compared to modern renders . The girls in the house are all identical which is confusing, but they also all throw themselves at the boy even though he has no attractive qualities, which makes any quality of writing redundant

    Lastly the autosave has been removes, pretty obnoxious and made it impossible to save at the end, had you wanted to ever return

    Joey's Conscience

    The story revolves around an exchange student who moves in with three beautiful women. It’s very early still, but so far, not much to say beyond that, it’s a story about a guy going to college, and meeting beautiful women.

    The writing is very amateurish, many of the interactions feel unnatural, with lots of awkward jokes. Characters often behave strangely, with one of them in one minute being (very justifiably) pissed off at the MC, and on the next minute she’s asking him out and making moves on him.

    Maybe it gets better as the game updates, but if you play these games for the story, there’s not much of it here right now.

    Now let’s talk about the reason the game is rated the way it is, which is the visuals. Well, more specifically, the engine it uses. This game uses VAM as its engine of choice, which immediately makes the visuals stand out from the sea of games using DAZ, Koi or HS. I’ve played a few VAM games in the past, and always thought they looked fantastic, with very impressive physics. But for whatever reason, they always seem to focus on fringe kinks or are just poorly executed in general. This is the first VAM game I’ve played that’s simple, straightforward, vanilla, and features classically beautiful girls. And that’s its biggest selling point.

    To be clear, the things that this game does well are elements I value highly, such as smooth animations, scenes that look and feel different from other games, and very beautiful LIs (even if their faces look very similar). But at the same time, I can’t help but feel the engine is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, and once this game gets more competition, it won’t be nearly as impressive. But as it stands, there are very few games that look quite like this, and I’m sure working with an underused engine brings its own set of challenges, so I think a 4 is fair. Just don’t expect too much of the plot, and just enjoy the eye candy.

    The visuals are nice, but the story and the MC... let me put it this way: in one part of the story, two guys kidnap you and Kayla at gunpoint on the street and force you into a van with no windows, terrifying Kayla (she had good reason to worry) ... in order to bring you to a party, and the MC is just "whatever" and they are at the party, with the MC literally telling Kayla "Give it a week or two, and this will be behind you." and pretty much leaving her alone so he can flirt with other women. And no, you don't get a reasonable option like "punch assholes in face" or "call police on kidnappers".

    Everyone acts less and less like actual people as the plot goes on, including the MC, and nothing really happens besides the kidnapping. There is some breast fondling, but the rest is just voyeurism, and not much of that.

    Other than the kidnapping "prank" ticking me off, nothing in the story or dialogue really stood out in any way.

    So i am going to explain my two star review here. Some spoilers ahead.

    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    Like this is seriously bad scripting where you dont even keep track of what the player selected before, or you know about it, but just because it serves your plot, its ignored.

    Other than that game has good visuals, but unfortunately i will never see more as i am not inclined to continue after that blunder encountered before


    Update -
    The Dev informed that what i had mentioned is indeed a bug in the game, so i am updating my rating.

    It is a game that is on an excellent path, you have a lot of potential, bro, I admire you, you are very good at this,

    The visual style is impressive, with an aesthetic that combines elements of abstract art and vivid details. Each setting is meticulously designed to evoke a haunting atmosphere that complements the story.

    Andolt

    It's worth your time

    Now let's focus on more details

    Pros
    1. Art - As every one wrote it's unique and looks realy good.
    2. Animation - A lot of animation, plus it look realy good. And consider that it's demo. Yes, we can look on it from the other side too that dev try to make a lot of animations for prologue and after that will milk auditory with 1-2 animation for the next updates. But let's check and see. For now it's solid 8.5/10
    3. The lenghts of the episode. It's quite big. To complete all episode is going to take you around 50-60 min. Which is realy good.

    4. Chloe and Kayla are cutie and you will have a lot of fun spending time with them.

    Cons
    1. In the prologue you will not get ыекщтп plot developments. For the most time it will be speaking with the girls about life/school/etc. But at the end of the episode you will get interesting plot twist. So I highly recomd you to complete it. And from EP2 this con can easely swithc to pros.
    2. Emma from the other side is complete clishe from the other games. If you play at least a few it's just typical landlady. Nothing more nothing less. Prety but you alrady understand you relationship with her.

    Overall
    If you want in some case something unique at least try this game. And i'm sure that it will try not to lose you(as it was with me). Let's hope that dev will have this auditory and support for the next updates. Speaking for myself i will defenetly to to support him to see how the story contunues

    Review Version 0.1

    If it wasn't for the fact the renders look really good and I liked the animations and the unique art style which feels like a hybrid between DAZ and Honey Select this game probably would be a 3 star game for me. While most of the characters are great and I can't wait to learn more. There is a few troupes that feel like they because it's a porn game or to set up future lewd content which comes across a bit forced for me. Can't judge the story as it's to early to say but the characters is one of the strong point of the game.

    I like the aesthetics it has,the animations are incredibly smooth, adding a sense of realism and fluidity to every scene. The characters are well-designed,

    It's clear that you’ve put a lot of effort and dedication into this project, and the results so far are more than satisfying. I really hope you continue developing it with the same quality, as it has so much potential. I’m eagerly awaiting the next update. Thanks for your work, and keep up the great job!

    There are some small issues but this game is top tier in the areas that matter, fem. character models and animations.
    Especially the lighting sticks out as well.

    I've only played the beginning section so far but im going to get back to it in the future. Its only on 0.1 and with this quality level the dev cycle is going to be quite long.
