so i bought the game. after some post nut clarity i believe my thoughts are rational enough so, gonna offer my thoughts because its not something i can talk to my friends about lol
The good
Visually its great, models are so incredibly detailed down to the pores that its just amazing to look at. There is a variety of outifts, plenty of cosmetic options. No body sliders, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of having different characters so i get that.
Environments are pretty and highly detailed.
The animations are very highly detailed and look realistic, the human x human animations are excellent, honestly, they are.
The monster animations are very good too, they clip quite a lot, but its also hard to not have clipping with lovecraftian abominations fucking a space robot sex doll, but its not a deal breaker.
In terms of pure sex sim, this is miles ahead wild life (the characters are just horrible to look at jfc), HS2, koikatsu, etc... It lacks the depth of mechanics of koikatsu or even HS2, but the sex itself is miles ahead. I dont think there is anything even close to it at the moment.
The pass itself doesnt seem like that bad of a grind imo. This is not a game that you would spend a whole afternoon playing, at least not me... so over the last few days i open the game, "play" for like 20 minutes, enough to max my pass progression and have fun... then i dont feel the need to open it again until next day, so far i've had plenty of fun with those short sessions.
The bad
$35 for a sex sim animation viewer (even when its the best at that) its just too much. Pricing sucks
Consider that you can get BG3 for $40 (at least in my country) so yeah its just baffling.
$24 for character passes, again, daylight robbery. most mainstream live service titles price their game passes at 10 - 20 bucks and provide infinite times more value.
On the plus side about passes, they last forever, so no time limit to complete them and you can swap passes to focus at any time.
There is a belly bloat mechanic when the girl receives too much cum, and if you do not own the characer (aka buy her pass) you wont be able to deflate her belly and you will be stuck with a horrible bloated belly in most of your sex animations and its just extremely annoying, to be forced into a kink that you dont like, not in my case at least, unless you pay money.
Facial animations are bad lol. Hilariously bad, with few exceptions, mouth movements are very uncanny. not much to elaborate here.
There is no depth. There are basically 0 mechanics, you just get in, walk somewhere, initiate an animation... and enjoy it, ofc, but thats it, there is no more gameplay.
Gacha for the sex positions is a joke. You get like 2 or 4 pulls a day. and might get dupes, so its just straight up bad. just make a fucking library so i can buy them directly with earned in game currency or something... or make them unlockable by accumulating experience in previous positions or something...
(This is slightly countered by the fact that you can "research" another player animation and use it yourself for 24hours, so at least you can expand your library temporarily.
I think thats it. Overall i liked it. I bought it thinking with the wrong head, but i cant say i regret it.
