    The protagonist looks good but all of the men look comically ugly to the point where I want to stop playing because I just can't stand looking at them. Their ugliness combined with their exaggerated personalities and the game's silly music and sound effects makes it a rather displeasing experience.

    Episode 1 had decent structure with the "good" and "corrupt" paths but it all gets thrown out the window in Episode 2. The second episode seems to be put together without much planning or thought. It's literally Episode 1 with added scenes and text so you get a ton of redundant locations. The gameplay and story is terrible as it seems to be made up on the spot, with poor pacing and too much repetition/grinding. The "good" path is heavily downplayed as the protagonist no longer has the option to say/do nice things and there's only a corruption meter (which even increases by cleaning? WTF?).

    The events of Episode 1 were a bit of a stretch, but it is way more ridiculous in Episode 2. The protagonist acts in an completely implausible manner so that the game can push the corruption angle, making her seem incredibly stupid. Likewise, the other characters also act in a very exaggerated and unrealistic manner to maintain the corruption angle. Suspension of disbelief can only go so far.

    Buckle up, pals. I feel like rambling about my favorite game of this genre.

    I would love to give this game 5 stars even though I don't consider the game perfect, but it represents this genre of games so well, and many things some other titles do in an unsatisfactory manner, this game nails them.

    Let's start with the basic gameplay design. I like ren'py alot, especially when it's used in a way that gives you a lot of freedom of movement around the locations. Optimally that would go hand in hand with different ways of completing quests, exploring the setting etc. Here we get to roam free at episode 2 especially, but there isn't a huge amount of different things to do yet.

    The characters are really good, the MC is absolutely perfect for this role. She is beautiful, especially in a way that makes her a believable 1st grade bitch. But she's sweet too and there's a hint of innocence to her sometimes to be seen (of course depending a lot on your choices).
    The characters are also fairly realistically designed. Absolutely beautiful bodies, and most importantly for me: 1. Good butts, most of the characters look like they have some meat on their thighs and ass. 2. Realistic breasts. I hate it when some games have their MCs look like they have been designed by a 10 year old boy (of course gigantic boobs are a fetish of their own, so not judging, just a personal dislike).

    What I love about this title the most, compared to most other games, is the character development: In many other games, you spend some time to work on you MC's corruption, and voilá , you're sucking cocks and getting shit pushed in by every pedestrian and their pets. That kinda makes the whole story and indeed, the journey of the gameplay, completely trivial after that. Once the character has been liberated (I prefer to use that instead of the more negatively loaded "corrupted" ;D ) the rest of the game is just hunting different scenarios.
    In 'Fashion Business', we see that no matter what direction you choose to lead her to, she's still a normal person, in the sense that she will not just suddenly rid herself of all her insecurities or boundaries after being felt up a couple times, or forced into a sexual deed. I thoroughly enjoy the ride, seeing how she slowly grows and maybe let's loose a bit.

    Now , most of the negative feedback I think I can give, are matters of taste. My biggest turn-off with this game (and this is one of those cases of personal taste) is the design of the world when it comes to the whole "animal farm" thing. I understand that the situations in these games are supposed to be entertaining, and that makes some of the stuff leading to them inherently unrealistic. That said, I wish there would have been a more realistic way of getting Monica in trouble than randomly the world (or country) becoming the most insane, Kim-Jong -wannabe police state where the cops can do anything they want, no due process or any sense of judicial process.

    In the end, I love this game, and the main character. Say what you say about Monica, I feel for her ;) Yes, she's a bitch, probably not by choice but by the environment she's grown up in. If this project continues, I'm sure we can lead her down from her ivory tower, and show her all the fun that's waiting for her around the corners of the streets...

    One of the best games I've ever played. Renders are absolutely amazing and they are unique. Story and characters are well made. In my opinion the game has no minuses. 6 stars from 5. I wish the developer a lot of inspiration for new episodes.

    I do not get the great ratings. The dialogue is terrible, there is an enormous amount of grinding, and the grinding is not even useful: it's purely a function of the incredibly poor design.Every morning, go through the same routine: take a shower, get breakfast, leave the house. That process takes around 100 clicks, for no good reason.
    Renders are great, and situations are sexy. But it takes so long to get from one to the next, and you have to read so much poorly written dialogue, that it kills any hope of satisfaction.

    I kind of want to give 4.5 stars because Monica's relentless bad luck is getting to me. I'd just like her to catch a break. I think the girls are hot and I feel Monica has a personality even if you control it yourself. There are a lot of twists but it is like being in a maze when someone tells you the way out and suddenly someone presses the flip button.

    It's one of those games with terrible writing and asshole male characters (though to be fair the MC is the worse of them). It has a lot of pointless exploitative angles and the dialogs are plain awful, though having an arrogant MC doesn't help.

    The renders can be pretty good and the character designs and clothing are nice. Specially the backgrounds that are top notch. The fact that almost all objects are interactive is a nice touch.

    The game play is fairly simple and on point though it's a bit annoying that you can't save during dialogs.

    All in all it seems like it's a game that took a lot of work to make but the end result isn't enjoyable.

    To be fair and honest, the story is fantastic, the renders are super amazing but there is one thing that made me drop the game and close it forever is the way it is built to grind the hell out of the player and makes me bored to death with doing stuff over and over and over with no point...... show me a stripper that takes 0.5 dollars for squeezing her boobs and ass....... really? it is totally annoying to keep scrolling through the whole process over and over and over and over again!! this game has become gamer-enemy and it is really making me sad with the quality of such a game ... sometimes working too hard does not mean you are doing it right, I fully understand the process of making such a game and the amount of time it takes to put things together but you need to work right along with working hard....

    I hope the developer sees this and realizes that it is only constructive criticism and do something about it

    From the start I wanted to something bad happened to the MC but when she got into prison I wanted to get out and start my vengeful path. I wanted to get my high life back. I felf really pitty because everybody was a dougebag to me through I helepd them in the first episode. I had nowhere to sleep, nothing to eat and I had to survive in icy rain. The game awaken some feeling I did not expect and I love it. The models are high-quality, the game also has sounds, animated scenes, nice quest log.

    I finally found time to try this game, and I can say that this is one of the worst games ever made.
    There is unavoidable sexual content related to, for certain people unappealing fetish, and players are forced either to watch it or to delete game into trash bin, as I did. (Funny thing, all other previous sex scenes were avoidable, so questions are raised why this one wasn't? ) Besides that, MC's going around with some, for certain players, unappealing dude on dates...Seriously? Where is option to decline him?
    Characters are bad, very bad written. MC especially, she acts like she have some kind of mental disorder, cause she's doing things highly conflicted to her own personality. It's absolutely unrealistic, even for a porn game. That is also big minus.
    Storyline is ...just meh...It could be much, much better.
    Game mechanics are beyound horrible. VN combined with RPG - it's recipe for absolute disaster. Recipe for boring and annoying.
    Quality of renders is satisfying. Good thing is unique character (at least I didn't saw that model used as MC anywhere else). Which is only positive aspect of this game.
    My rating is one star, but yet, I'm under impression that one star is way more than this game actually deserves.

    Awesome game! The perfect balance between "hit a button to read another text window" and "grind your ass to death" types of games. Zero grind with some of real "gameplay" (not just hitting one "next" button). Perfect character, amazing CG (and LOTS of them). Plus intriguing story. Not like 99% other "motherfucker stories" or "5 min in the game and I'm so shy that I'll suck all the dicks that I meet". Also has some variety. Yeah, not that much as some would prefer, especially in Episode 1, but a lot of games are much more linear than this one. So, Keep the good work, dude! Hope you'll get the fame you deserve soon. 9.5/10.

    Story: You play as a wife of some rich dude and now she's rich. The story provides a decent environment for the female protagonists corruption. You can make her bitchy or nice, both of which are not erotic. Bitchy is annoying, nice is boring.

    Character beauty: The main characters face is problematic, unattractive and lacks make up. You'd think a rich woman would wear more makeup. In DAZ Studio there are simple one click makeup overlays. Makeup makes a huge difference. Her face proportion features aren't appealing.

    I found one attractive female NPC in the game: img_1268.png. The rest of the woman were ugly and plain looking with pudgy faces, nose too big, too much cheekbone and chin. Body proportions on most women are not good. I could give examples of better body proportions, but review guidelines prohibit me from mentioning other games content.

    The maid is ugly and her hair is nappy. She has no makeup.

    Render quality: Render quality ranges from poor to decent. I'm used to top notch IRAY renders of high quality.

    Porn images vs Non-porn image ratio: Most of the renders are not pornographic. Too much time was spent on making non-pornographic renders. If you look through the image folder of the game, most of the renders are not pornographic. Sometimes games focus too much on build up and not enough time on delivering a solid climactic, erotic impact.

    Mechanics: The game is tedious. Everything is an extra click or takes 2-3 clicks to achieve something that should've taken one click. The game wanted me to find a piece of laundry and then iron it. The game literally made a tutorial just to show you how to iron and laundry in a porn game. That makes no sense. If you look at the help folder the game offers a tutorial for basic mechanics that should never have required a tutorial in the first place.

    Bugs: No bugs, the game seems properly tested which I gave an extra star.

    An excellent game who put in your hands the destiny of Veronica, a young and beatiful model.

    The graphics are very beautiful and clear, this game is perfectly written and look like more erotic novel than a hard game and it's very good in my opinion.

    There is two ways who really interesting to explore and the game have regular update and the APK version is prefect, one of my favorite game

    The female protagonist has a perfect looking face and body, and there's a focus to make her feel "alive" (great number of facial expression, poses, clothes etc.). Story is very compelling and manages to make us feel empathy even when you decided to make her a bitch through the dialogue choices. There are some flaws in ergonomy, and the game could be more fun to play, but it managed to transcend all my experiences with past games.

    I love it! Nothing like trashing that High society evil queen, it's great that every decision that you made while she was powerful comes back to haunt her later! Full perversion mode!!! Keep u the good work, this game gets my seal of perversion approval!

    Game version: [Ep. 2 v0.2]

    What a hidden gem. One of the few games that actually feel like a real game without descending into becoming a dumb grind. Though the systems are pretty underused so far, I think there were literally two points in the game where you need to use an item, but it's still early.

    The renders are high quality, the characters look unique and interesting. I'm a big fan of this style of game where you see the main character in the scene while walking around and wish more games tried this, it feels a lot more immersive than just jumping from empty room to empty room.

    The grammar is kind of bad in some places, but funnily enough it actually works out great when it's in Monica's voice because it makes her more endearing and kind of works with her character because she's supposed to be from another country. I really enjoyed her little comments when you click on background items, especially her irrational fear of candelabras. Not a big fan of the tons of background items that don't really have any interesting reactions and just seem to exist to pad out the playing time though.

    I liked that you could kind of steer Monica's character a bit and I actually came to like her while playing in a non-bitchy way. Or as the game says "as much as that's possible for Monica."

    The plot isn't very believable, but it serves its function and fairly quickly leads to some interesting situations. The game is still fairly light on sex scenes, with most of them being literal filler that doesn't involve Monica at all, but they are all well done and make me look forward to the next release.

    Looking forward to more content, with some more work this could easily be a 5/5 game for me.

    Excellent game so far (0.5). A massive quality work. Many CGIs for each moment, interesting plot that evolves differently according to choices, a few grammar mistakes, very good sex scenes. Only annoiance: there could be more saving points, saving is impossible at choice dialogue.

    Graphics are pretty good with a lot of animations, there are a lot of choices you can make throughout the game that might have consequences though I just couldn't get invested in the game simply because of engrish. Some grammar mistakes, typos here and there. Once it get fixed, I might revisit it.

    The lead character is so damn HOT. Those legs!! Dayumm!! Unfortunately this babe's an annoying bitch at times but that's what I like about her. Slow corruption, you also feel sad for her at times. Renders are top notch. The atmosphere is great. You should definitely try this renpy game. I like the fact that she runs a fashion company. Will she stay at the top or not? That's upto you to find out.
