The setting and image videos are pretty good but I would prefer a avn style without grind.
Some times the suspicion meter goes up too fast, some times the lust meter goes up too slow.
Objectives are not clear, like how to low suspicion with the thief girl.
Time/chores cycles are repetitive, which gives you the grind sensation early on.
First, some solid work on this game and I'm impressed.
Once you get a idea on how to do things, the grind isn't too bad besides the mini-game at the bar. But do enjoy the visual clues some goblins give to their preferred drink. As that one goblin, left hand for beer and right hand for ale. But I do wish the spiking the drinks had a potion that actually did something. No doubt it will in future updates, so I will wait.
Will say, I lost a few early games till I got to the scene in the garden that gives you the lust to start the library mission. Once I had that, and kept our little barmaid off the streets the game got easier. Plus I was a little late finding the goals, and was puzzled to how to get herbs till I stumbled on it (avoiding investigations in the garden).
Improvements I like to see,
Need some sort of room or lab background for the Craft. All that awesome avn stuff and then I get thrown on a screen that you would see from a game from a decade ago. Same goes for the combat when you meet a goblin in the garden, the end screen is fine but the white text on a black screen at the start is just boring. It needs jazz to make me excited or worried to be on that screen.
Valya needs more things to do in the castle, like actually risk in walking the halls instead of just voyeurism. Understand her part is more mediation, but you got some of those great end scenes for her and the candle and then just nothing when she has "me" time in bed. She's the least interesting character once you got all her scenes and completed the mediation requirements. Zero grind after that, unlike Lea or Anneli.
Lea, need a reason (or a mini-game) to keep polishing the library goblin's knob with knowing the risks in becoming cum drunk and betraying her sisters. And won't mind another option, like just research or reading in the library when worried about suspicion or the lure of goblin sex.
Anneli, needs more bar scenes besides just serving drinks. She also needs something early game to do besides spying, since its a chore sometimes to trigger the bar option (often to not trigger suspicion, I put her to bed). She should be the one that gets the most pawing by the goblins since she's on the street more unlike the other two.
Lastly, its a odd request but you need some more favor text in the game. Got that great storybook up front, but then the game becomes lacking between the grind. I mean, you got those great bedroom scenes with the girls and how they're doing with lust and all that. But those lack the pay-off like I said before, and there should be some encounters between them during so one can pass off potions or notes.
You know, an interesting hint system would be something like you click the hint button and in the next scene some goblin pinches your ass or grabs a boob as punishment.
Still overall, the game I believe has a good future with a little more work. Just prior to downloading and playing this game, I was playing another goblin game that had a update (since I also support her) and afterwards I had a hard time in picking my fav. So good luck!
