QSP - Abandoned - Extacity [v0.21] [MvH]

I wish this game the best because there's a lot of good, but couldn't go any further with this game. the biggest flaw with the game is the ridiculous requirements to advance. When the "mayor?" said to pass out 100 fliers, I was afraid she actually meant 100 individual fliers o 100 different people. The way the grind up to that point had been, I'd not have been surprised. "Wait till lust is 30"..... what does that mean? you have to go through a multi click scene 30 times. Do 20 chores? No.... don't clean the dishes, then use the vacuum cleaner, then clean the pool. Clean the dishes. rest a day. clean the pool. wait til the next day. Vacuum. wait til the next day. Great.... you got past step one. Now you have to do it again. Just when you think you got all the requirements.... no! You have to arbitrarily unlock this character through a randomized dating app you may not have unlocked yet. I was on a Betty unlock to get to the Route.... and the at the end of a scene, it has a pop up window that is all in Russian and says "Bracket not found" meaning I may have come across a game crashing bug that I'll have to go back and go through the hours of grind just to get back to where I was before hoping it doesn't crash again. Then Pop ups..... Every hour, I have to save my place, close the game out and load the last save just to avoid the game crashing popups. There are only 5 save slots and dozens of "choose your path" which is a giant design flaw when your game has 8 Choose your own path directions.... and if you pick the wrong choice, you miss out on several scenes. You'd need at least 10 save slots with how often this game crashes. I hated using the cheat option because I don't like to cheat in these types of games, but then even the cheat option only moves time backwards a few days and in no way increases lust points, friend points, or any of the requirements to advance in case the thing freezes. I literally gave up and opened the raw data files just to see what I was missing. A LOT. And it's well set up to add almost twice as much over time. [Definitely trade out some of the teachers and their scenes, though. They're pretty rough] This game could be a 5 out of 5 for story, scenes, and content, but what good's the story, scenes and content if you can't access it?

I'm a huge fan of QSP games. Yes they're grindy, yes this one is buggy, but I hope they stay alive.

This one has a semi-helpful walkthrough which is more than a lot of QSP games. I also enjoy how story driven the quests are.

This game could have a lot of potential, but it falls into the usual QSP trap of providing too much freedom to the point where you don't know what to do or how to progress the game.
If there was a clear set of goals and guidance on where to be at the right times and what to do, this could be a good title. I resorted to looking into the folder structure to see what content would await a persistent player and I was pleased to find a lot of good pic and video. However, to actually play through the game to get to this content seems like an arduous task and one that I'm not willing to make without simple navigation and guidance.

I generally like QSP games and don't mind the sandbox aspect of their nature.

There are several problems that kept me from really enjoying this game.

Cons

• The use of awesomium
• Poor quality videos. With the enormous amounts of real porn videos out there there is really no excuse for this.
• Most of the porn models used are average looking or unattractive. The few that are attractive ruin their appearance with typical porn star boob jobs. I'm not a fan of fake breasts as 98% of the time they look terrible and you can see the scars on the underside of their breasts.
• The game requires a walkthrough because you have to do certain things on specific days and times with no flexibility. For example, you have to talk with someone in the living room at hour 18 on Saturday. Why not make it more dynamic and allow the player to talk with the person anytime they see them? Yes, it would require more coding but it can be done well. There is a quest hint system, however some events/quests don't have hints listed for them. This happens more often with newer content.
• There are several bugs in the game and some of them stop quest progression

I can live with using a walkthrough (even though I hate doing so) but I can't excuse the poor video quality and the average/unattractive character models throughout the game. I don't play games to look at poor quality videos or look at average looking NPCs.

I really hate to rate a QSP game poorly as there aren't very many of them as most players prefer to have their hands held the entire game with a Ren'Py Visual Novel. The game probably deserves two stars but I'm rating it three stars because the author tried and wrote the game in QSP.

I can't recommend the game but if you do decide to play it, use a walkthrough.

If u follow the walkthrough, the game is quite good for a QSP one.
Lot of contents, a gallery to rewatch scenes, beautiful actresses
It could become way better than SoB, lot of potential
Hope that it won't get abandonned

for a RP-QSP-SBx the game is close to be considered 'good enough'

[*]surely you would want to use usermade time-tweaking/cheat mod and rely on usermade walkthroughs (if u played qsps - you know the drill. so the score includes me using it as it is inseparable part of my gaming experience. without it the gaming would be not comfy)
so lets say 3 stars.1 extra star to counterbalance couple of 1star rates.

v 0.9-0.10
-enough content (comparatively)
-getting relationaship points is needed on rare occasions. so cannot say it is overdone here except for jorik's sister (had to use saveeditor. however, i tweak that sort of "datesim grind" almost in all games i play)
-quest chain (tasks) repeatables are hopefully non-existent apart from jorik's mom pool tasks (tried to tweak in saveeditor, but it removed interactive button completely). im not a fan of such approach in general as imo mostly it is used to 'fill the void'; sometimes it can be tolerable and organic but here i got a skipfest.

okeish qol
--common UI with emergency button and galleries (vids u unlocked are rewatchable)
--ingame hints (as of now feels half-cooked, some work, some don't, some seem to appear after you have already completed those steps. and having such info missed results in time wasting and further dissatisfaction)


issues (so save frequently):
-occasional blank screens and rather noticable frame freezings
-if u played 0.9 version with modded qsp file, you will not be able to use saves for 0.10. (seems true for all old v new versions)
-also if you use mode to tweak day name (monday to friday etc) the game can become buggy (same day after sleep, some locs become unaccessible- spa in my case) so better to use it just for tweaking hours
-occasional bugs. (on my 2nd replay i failed to fix one and missed couple of scenes)

Without a walkthrough you will be absolutely blue balled. It works and there are only a few bugs but its one of those games where you have to be in a specific location at a specific time on a specific day of the week to trigger something to advance the game. Then you 'll find the quest has moved a tiny bit but you need to be in a specific time/location in a weeks time to trigger the next bit. Its horrendous UX and game design

There are loads of locations but most of them don't have any content unless you are there at the specific time and specific day and have a specific quest.
i.e. go to the beach there are no options or pictures. Not even a random picture of hot girls sunbathing.

The UX is terrible. At the start you get the option of staying with your mom or dad. I guess most people would pick the hot mom. However all but one quest line is locked behind able to access the dads house. You get to the dads house by following the one quest line available (although there are no hints as how to start this quest, you need to specifically go to the living room on a Saturday at 11). Once you open up the dads house the game merges and it makes no difference what house you originally chose to stop in.
TLDR - There is no reason to picks the Moms house, it makes the start of the game an absolute chore and become pointless after 3 quest steps. It shouldn't be a choice.

Ultimately this game is functional but falls into the trap of a lot of QSP games of being overly convoluted and really really unrewarding

3Gb+ of nothing. Absolutely unplayable game.
Terrible interface, terrible navigations, bugs and alot of empty places. Patreon link looks like a joke. Bad joke.
Just don't waste your time for this "game".

I felt as if I wished for that time I wasted back in my life. I get it version 0.0.00000001, but even some consistency as a developer on your part would be good before superficially releasing it here.

Why can I read half of it and I'm not able to read what is that Russian?

Also I'm sure if Warner Bros finds out you borrowed a clip from their movie they're going to pull your intestines out of your ass in fines.

Dining(DINNING) room = broken

I give you kudos for putting CRAMBONE in the living room TV

If I click on the menu, I should be able to click off of it with the mouse and not have to use the ESC key...

My most enjoyable thing to do was spam click Taxi work with 0 energy for 20+ days and now I'm rich

The Ferrari has Euro plates on it but when I walk downtown and walk to college I'm magically in New York, but I must love Singapore as well as its my background to my computer

As I'm stuck to play the game for an eternity - there's no exit button lol
