I want to dig this game. I really do.
But, yet again, another release that failed to impress me. And the reason is the very same I've seen again and again lately in Patreon: The so called "slowly building up a relationship". It's a very, very tall order. Much bigger than most people think, actually.
Allow me to explain: Slowly building a relationship per se is quite easy, and truth be told, the author here is doing a very good job (the dad path is particularly good, imho). Just take it slow. Add some sweet scenes. Don't force anything. And you will be well on your way for a slow, "believable", relationship. Anyone with a bit of writing skills can do it, imo.
But doing so while avoiding letting the game becoming boring, stale even, is the hard part. And it's even harder to do when you are talking about an erotic game that should have, guess what? Erotic scenes!
As it is, this game fails (to me, at least) to deliver on that front. It works and looks too much like a plain dating VN right now, and not like a proper erotic game. It fails to fulfill. To keep our interest in it. There's nothing truly exciting in it's story (heck, the sexyest scene was from a prior release!). I felt like I was reading a boring romance book my sister lent me, and, more than once, found myself almost fast forwarding through the dialogues, barely reading what was written in it.
Now, do bear in mind that not only I'm a huge fan of RPGs and books, but I also do love reading erotic stories, so when I say I'm skipping text, something is really off there.
If anyone wants to make slow, believable relationships, go for it! But, please, keep the whole story interesting, exciting and, above all, avoid it becoming a stale, slow text grind. There are two ways you can pull that off, imho: Either A) you are a superb writer who can make great stories and plots, or B) you add more situations and characters to the story, where you can add the excitement/erotic part without rushing relationships with the main characters, like "Dating my Daughter" is doing.
A very tall order, as I said previously.
As it is, this game shows huge promise, but it's just plain boring right now, imo.
