    A Disappointing Journey into Uninspired Realms

    This game, emerging from a developer with two abandoned titles, fails to impress or even register.

    The unnatural and uncomfortable dialogue, suggesting either a lack of native English proficiency or a troubling misunderstanding of effective narration claws at you, unnerving and uncomfortable. You'll get more thrills reading a statistics manual.

    The plot, centered around a heroic father-soldier battling PTSD, introduces vague anti-male tropes, undermining the potential for a nuanced exploration of sacrifice, loss, and a return to humanity to protect and provide for your family. Instead, it leans on tired clichés, incorporating cheap and unoriginal gimmicks like photo shoots, shower scenes, and gratuitous sexual glory holes and hand-jobs to artificially provoke interest.

    The renders lack the polish and finesse expected in modern VN's on this site. Coupled with a plot void of originality, the overall experience fails to offer anything remotely engaging or intriguing. Time spent playing this game is wasted.

    In summary, the game falls short on multiple fronts, presenting a lackluster narrative, outdated visuals, and a reliance on tired tropes that do little to stimulate genuine interest or curiosity.

    Ignored Thread and hoping this will get quickly abandoned as well, so I will never have to see the darkened tittle box and be reminded of my shame in wasting my life.

    I rarely play first releases since there's usually not a whole lot of content, but this caught my interest (mostly because of the daughters lol).

    It is surprisingly decent. The models look good, pretty good dialogue and language, and there are some choices that both impact your character and what scenes you see. The dad actually looks like the age he is supposed to be which is a big plus for me, and there is a simple but believable story going on.

    Overall I enjoyed it and found no big issues with the game, 4/5.
