To me to be catched by a game I either look for good looking CGS, catchy storyline and characters or great mechanics.
While I can't say much about the mechanics themselves, since It's "just" a multichoice game, both CGS and storyline/characters are great.
I have to admit that I'd play that game even without the H part, since the the whole idea, the plot, it's original and very intriguing!
What I really like of this game:
- The plot it's well organized/planned and the whole story it's thrilling and misterious.
- The characters have very different personalities and varies visually (it's not one of these games where, despite the high quality, all the females look the same but with differen haircut/eyes colors).
- There is a lot of attention to build up a mental situation BEFORE any phisical outcome. It's nice to see how the relationship with a character develops before getting into something and that adds a kick to the whole thing.
- The renders and the attention for details, lightnings, environment, chlotes etc it's well made and gives to the game a lot of personality (there are several games whose graphics, despite being extremely detailed, look alike).
What I think it could be improved/tweaked:
- Would be nice to have more interaction of the player to get into some"rpg" style but that would probably be a completely different game setup. Maybe for the next title in the future? Dunno, just saying...
- Make female characters even more different between them. I mean, thereare still some features they all share and make them look similar. Perhaps different nose shapes, jawlines, eyes shapes, smaller breasts/butts etc. Still, it's already great like that, I'm not complaining.
- Some of the intimate episodes feel a bit "forced". For example, a very clumsy and shy girl who tries to understand her feelings towardher friend, getting aroused sleeping together, starting to explore herself and her body and then all of a sudden "lemme suck your dick!" Feels like some steps were missing and if is intentional looks a bit out of place. I'm playng now "Once in a lifetime" and I see that in this game it was even more marked and has been tweaked a lot in "Eternum".
Don't get me wrong, I love the game and it's a 5/5, one of the best games I've played so far! Can't wait to play the next chapter!
