Great character models and sex scenes that are completely let down by poor implementation.
Story
It is very promising with a lot of potential, but 3+ years into the game development at V0.95, the main storyline i.e. blizzard storm causing Deviants Anomalies affecting universal time flow has hardly developed at all. The developer did a quick introduction at the start and abandoned it altogether to work on the side stories.
Side quests like nun murder, partnering Chanel to setup a brothel, Moon’s issues, Carina & Gem blackmail, Sage’s boyfriend, Mia’s pregnancy have all not been properly developed to date and left hanging.
The fact that these stories are somewhat linked together with each other isn’t a problem for a linear visual novel, but it’s a disaster for sandbox. You get flashbacks on events that haven’t even happened yet, characters refer to things that you have no idea what it’s about, one character has supposedly disappeared in this side story, but yet appears in another side story which takes place concurrently.
Too much logical complexity in conditions has resulted in events either being triggered too early, in the wrong sequence or worse still being skipped. For e.g. the trip to Blue Oyster for Carina’s story was repeatedly triggered for 3 times and I have no idea why. The bugging of the nuns was completely skipped and MC was eavesdropping without any explanation.
Game Mechanics
The detective clue seeking + note taking is innovative and fun. The slave / lover training system is there as an option, but nothing is developed in reality.
Most of the girls you interact with have this system as an option, but there’s nothing when you click. Inventory system serves no purpose as far as I can see. Income system is nothing but repetitive clicking to make online moolah.
Background / Character Renders
Some of the most beautiful character models I have seen in visual novels, quite on par with the top guns like Eternum and Pale Carnations.
Sex Scenes
Very good animation and erotic presentation, it’s good to see interactive elements which the player can choose for the whole scene. However many of the scenes do not have any background music or sound, kind of a mood killing to only have silence and text.
Conclusion
The detective concept is interesting, each individual story is interesting, but when packaged together it become obvious the creators do not have enough financial, time and technical resources to pull it off.
