To be fair, this is definitely
not a
poor or even
terrible „game“ at all. At least in my opinion.
Quite a lot of quality seems to be there for a potentially great episodic story-driven AVN:
a rather thrilling, almost marvel lous plot;
decent up to good renders & transitions;
some animations;
effective fx & atmo sounds and some decent music;
some interactive puzzles & simple minigames (well, not skipable for those who dislike those);
no game breaking bugs.
There are
2 protagonists: one
male & one
female - rather „normal“ people, not some creepy shits – whose stories intersect conceptionally „by fate“.
Only the final outcome of their decisions (choices) may alter the end. So at least
some of the given choices may
somewhat impact the plots direction and (the few) possible sexual encounters or (the very few) romantic relationship options.
But that's mostly for the
male MC. He's more or less the real focussed main character in the plot.
The
female MC seems to be more like an attachment to the constructed story than an independantly essential character. Yeah, you can choose to... for example... let her have sex or not, but that's only kind of a fragrance. She's not there to have romantic encounters at all!
That's one reason for me why
the whole story setup with 2 protagonists feels overly constructed.
Almost disturbing to some degree, not really enriching the plot, maybe only providing another perpective
to the plot.
The second is:
the plot also feels overly constructed all the time, like a
complete over-the-top mix of a B-movie thriller with a wannabe Marvel action movie. But fails on both attempts.
Always jumping mostly fast-paced from one event to another -
just for the sake of having as many twists and turns from these events ever possible. Nothing feels grounded enough... Not any of the pushed events, not any of the (mostly quite shallow and not even smart acting) characters.
Both MCs are sometimes even so overwhelmed by that many incredible plot twists that they act or think
ridiculously dump and stupid.
The former potentially quite thrilling
plot itself so subsides into a farce, cause you can always predict the unpredictable to happen... in an increasingly rushed pace until this story ends.
Also and again
overly constructed, yet
rather flat and rushed than with a boombastic grand finale.
The
rare sex scenes - more a bonus within the socalled story-driven episodes – unfortunately don't contribute much to the game. Cause these are below average ones
with rather robotic animations. Not real bad, but not good as well. They lack passion, immersion and are forgettable scenes.
All summed up :
a potentially great story-driven AVN with too much determination to be a most thrilling plot twister, but much too less to build a coherent, story-rich plot with immersive events and characters you might care for at all.
Due to that, this „game“ only shares the FATE of so many others of its kind: to be ambitious, but pretty average!
No definite recommendation to play, but if you have nothing better to do... determine for yourself.
