    The setting is interesting, but the characters are really bad and art is average to bad.
    Started decently, then we meet an ugly (in my opinion) succubus that calls MC racist for using a word "demon" then overall belittles MC and so on and so forth. The worst character in this game (IMO) but takes a huge chunk of content so another turnoff.
    Second character we meet is also ugly and uninteresting, luckily he is off the screen quick.
    After that, we meet our first date: a middle-aged black furry (that is also a first decent looking character which is pretty funny), when i've got to the scene where he dances on a pole with some gay fairy i had enough. At least

    Overall:
    - good setting and premise
    - ugly characters
    - with bad/uninteresting presonality/backstory
    - at least there is no grind? that's something

    Always great to see more female MC games -- even better when one comes along with a pretty unique premise.

    Fantasy dating is part Isekai, part rom-com, part modern fantasy... Actually, attempting to classify it to a genre hardly does it justice.

    What can be said is that the author clearly has a plan, on multiple levels. The premise of romancing a variety of inhuman partners of all gender combinations, while also attempting to cover an array of fetishes, is admirable all on its own.

    Deeper than that however is the subtle world-building going on. The society of Integro has some dynamics to it that are hinted at early on, and it makes one question what could be lurking beneath the surface.

    Plenty of naughtiness in the game already, too -- So there is quite possibly something for everyone to be found here; be it looking for sex, romance, or metaplot!

    Very Interesting .... really promising start, with a huge potential!

    The premise is fresh, the tone of the conversations (even the creator initiated :)) is decent quality, with good comic timing when needed.

    I knocked one star for the renders. They are good, but can be better. I don't know why even the best of the renders mess up the teeth... SMH

    My recommendations:

    1. I LOVE the fact that the premise and the deviant mind of the creator create a situation where there is practically NO LIMIT to the fetishes possible here. Rather than force through dialogue and make you regret it later, maybe give permanent access to MC's phone which lets her toggle fetish choices and preferences. That way you are not left wondering (or craving :))

    1b. Another nuance could be to select the 'level' of each fetish. like only giving, only receiving, or body part selection. e.g. watersports (which is a sadly far less available in games than I would like) could be giving only, receiving only, and could be limited to body or extended to mouth, pussy or anywhere (max level).

    2. MAYBE, the succubus can (temporarily of course, because we all would hate to see the MC leave Integro) give an option for the MC to gender transform, and enjoy different fetishes as different genders.

    3. As the succubus seems to be having sub traits, maybe one path could lead to a sub/slave & dom path for MC and her.

    4 . I would really love to see body worship (armpit worship, anal worship, pussy worship etc.) as a part of the dynamic

    5. Also, maybe an option of MC getting on the wrong side of the law and being forced specifically into blocked fetishes to get out. punishments are not supposed to be enjoyed after all.

    There is just so much more going on in my head....thats a tribute to the potential this game holds!

    Keep up the good work! cant wait for more!

    Very good start, it is interesting and a lot of fun. Really good sex scenes and not overly short with no options. I love the fact that you can pick and choose fetishes/preferences, most vns don't really do that (even if I click yes for every option anyways) it allows for more people to play the game than just those seeking the specific content. Overall really looking forward to more.

    I don't usually comment on these. The Internet is a sea of pornography, and if you don't like where you're floating, just hoist anchor, set sail, and drift on to more fertile waters. That's how it's supposed to go... but, sometimes, something comes along that gives one pause.

    Starting in on this, my expectations were not great; main character contrived into a fantastical world, unexplained conveniences, and a deuteragonist that, visually, was not, at first blush, appealing. But it was only proper to give it a fair shot, so I pressed on, and... well, wow!

    First of all, Ehrlynn's design. Being a succubus it would make sense that she had an almost uncanny-valley sort of inhuman structure; the chin, the cheekbones, the eyes... and the old-fashioned up-do is not something one sees everyday, so that too just made the whole character seem a bit ... off. But, here's the thing about characters: they are a lot more than what they look like. Or, they should be; all too often they aren't, and a clever audience is immediately going to expect a clichéd trope. So when the MC called Ehrlynn a 'demon' and she pointed out that the term is old fashioned and a bit bigoted, BAM! Expectation subversion. And it just got better when the MC showed concern over their actions in bed, and Ehrlynn showed patient effort in trying to comfort them. That's a character with heart, and that matters. Oh boy does that matter. Anyone can smoosh a buzzy to their tingly bits and pop out a 'gasm, but having an emotional investment just makes it a thousand times better. And when that emotional investment was made... the appearance of the character seemed to change. I was no longer looking at a character model; I was looking at a character. And suddenly she became beautiful.

    And then I started to notice other tiny details. Like, not ever seeing the MC's eyes, and giving her a short haircut. This pushed the MC toward androgyny, which helps to imprint the player upon her. This is the same trick knowingly used in the Legend of Zelda games; by not giving Link a voice, they're letting the player give Link their own voice. I also appreciated that the introduction to the world was also a soft introduction into the mechanics; a way to declare preferences for what would become a much more expansive game, and that it was done diegetically.

    That's not to mention the most excellent renders with subtle emotions in the facial expressions (which I'm very glad to see did not drift into excessive exaggeration)

    If I were to suggest a way forward, I would say, Uncle Aaron from 'Into the Spider-Verse' said it best: "You're on your way. Just keep going."

    If you have any fetishes that you'd like to put into the game, don't hesitate. You can always put in a warning before the scene, as you've already done, and that should cover it. Though, if you can figure out how to do it in such a medium, I'd suggest looking into the psychic link between Ehrlynn and the MC a bit more; that sort of connection could really, really elevate sex to a new level... especially if they can see what the other see and feel what the other feels.

    Sorry if that was a bit rambly, but, yeah. Loved it. Can't wait for the update!

    Promising Opening, allows the player to control their own preferences for various things (i.e. breath play, anal, femdom, etc), and the sex scenes branch in such a way that there's various different paths.

    As a warning, futa content seems to be mandatory, so be warned if that's not your thing.

    This is off to an excellent start. I like how the choices are handled very much, with the player being able to control the course of a sexual encounter, rather than just whether or not an encounter happens. I will definitely be keeping track of this one.
    One minor quibble: I wouldn't mind being able to see the MC's face. I get not doing it with male MC's to avoid breaking immersion, but I sincerely doubt any players of the game are actually futanari, so I'm guessing that ship has sailed.
