I was initially hesitant about this game but decided to give it a try and ended up liking it well enough. Unfortunately I hadn't read that the saves aren't compatible between versions so when the next version came out, I decided to wait for more progress before comitting to a second grind. And that second grind ultimately made me give up on this game. Contrary to the dev's assertions, this game is incredibly grindy because unlike the games he's based this off of which give you cheat codes to skip the grind mostly, cheats are a patreon only feature for this game.
And that's not even close to the worst of it because the *walkthrough*, the single most important thing to have in a game this opaque and difficult to progress, is also a patreon feature. Because of said opaqueness this game is basically unplayable without that walkthrough. At the time of writing the dev only has like 40 patrons so you have to wonder how is anyone even playing this? By the dev answering almost every question asked in this thread personally. That's how I got to see almost any of the content. That's very considerate of him but it wouldn't have been necessary with some sort of ingame walkthrough or just making the game less impenetrable to begin with. There are other issues like all the sex scenes being tiered and every scene in a tier being way too similar. That combined with the once a month updates adding one tier to one or two characters just leads to it being too slow a burn to stay interesting honestly. But the main issue is just how player unfriendly it is.
TLDR; Grindy game that's too time-consuming and frustrating to make progress in without the paywalled walkthrough and cheats. I know that the dev wants to make money and that's fair but this is the sort of predatory bullshit that scummy fremium games do. Except unlike those games, this has no hook to actually keep players from dropping it like I just did.
