HTML - Abandoned - Fighting It [Ivy-v1] [ef_it]

Good content, tortourous pacing. The game starts in August and presumably ends in May. Days are quick but there is a lot of them. I had every character essentially maxed by November. Understanding that I would have to just sit through this for months more while juggling stat decrease conditions I quit. The gameplay is alright and the quality of the scenes is good, but there is not even close to enough stuff here to cover that many days.

Its should be tagged as complete. It's a status grinder, but scenes keep changing along the way, so you dont feel like grinding. It has cheats, if you want to skip to final scenes. Fun and polished game. Better than most html here

It's completed (I don't think abandoned is accurate), there's enough variety and content to allow for a replay, and it covers several different fetishes. Personally I was hoping for a bit more interaction with the characters in terms of how the different endings played out, but that doesn't really reflect poorly on the game; it was a choice that was made and it's still a good completed project. Honestly the only way I could think to make the game better for what it is, is to make it longer and add more content.

Great game, the way it makes you choose between whom to be with is a novelty. A damn shame that the dev decided to abandon it, but it is kind of finished, you can still complete it. So i would still recommend it.

The girls are great (seeing as they are pornstars) but very much a stat grind game, nether the less I enjoyed it probably because of Cheat mode and the feeling of being someone who is going round getting all these girls. But abandoned now, which kinda sucks, did have promise.

No story, just a stat grind.

No difference between the girls. You can have sex with a girl, her mom, and your mom and there is no reaction. Just numbers to unlock a video.

1 star for nice looking women.

The selection of ladies in the game is nice and while the grind can get repetitive, users are given a free cheat menu that easily helps you speed through the game.

There is regular development and new content, but best of all the Developer is really active on Discord and responds to comments!

Just a stat grind.

And things jump very quickly from "Not Sex" to "Sex".

There's an strangely abundant number of skills and stats to manage. You lose skills if you don't use them often, but have limited time and limited energy to do things.

Was just sort of boring.

In general a decent game. It looks good, it all works good.

I just miss the 'game' part. Now it's just grind for some basic scenes. I miss any type of real story.

Now it feels like, just click often enough and you'll get sex with the character. The end.

It has potential, but it needs more to become interesting to play.

Alright! I hope everyone comes back to update their reviews because this game is on the right path. A solid foundation is in place for this game and I can say with full confidence that if ef_it simply adds more of the same content it willl be a stellar final product. If you haven't given the latest version a shot, you are missing out. This game has carefully placed mechanics and sets itself apart from other games.
The only reason I haven't given the fifth star (yet) is because of lack of base girls which is all but guaranteed to change soon at this point.
Nice job ef_it and thank you for sharing your project with us.

Played after the redesign and while I found the grind to be okay - actually the time from 1st attraction to complete harem is maybe even too low - I did not understand why the dev put the videos and images as a thumbnail in the top right corner. Come on, this is supposed to be a visual / graphical game and that video/image element should take a large part in the center. Instead the GUI feels like I'm playing a spreadsheet or ADnD with dozens of stats. This kills the fun for me.

Bit confusing at times and can become grindy, but what HTML is not grindy? :^)

Else, pretty good, only few typos . Could go a bit deeper into storytelling or conversations with the main characters. That way, the characters would have a deeper connection to the MC.

Other than that, the diversity and the different pics and gifs are great! Lot of potential here.

good game without bug and a good story, images are good and scenes dont repeat often but it can be very grindy and their is no built up dialogue, affection is just a stat and you go from "no thanks" to "take me on this table" in one day, if futur update gave some romance or seduction scenes it woudl be better. For NTR fan you can be disappointed cause there is just cheating then break up, the mc is not aware of the cheating. Ntr scenes can be easy avoided without clicking on them even when NTR is on. Conclusion : Worth to keep an eye on, with some updates can be a very good game

Extremely grindy at first, and not very coherent.

The game is either all or nothing. At first you can't do anything but grind, gotta max your stats to make yourself attractive, you gotta spam "Talk with this NPC" until the numbers go to 100, and then it's just badabing badaboom sex. There's nothing in between. So there's no working your way up as you seduce a character to fuck them, nope, just, one day they're not very interested, and then the next "Let's go fuck, son!" Once your stats are maxed it's just grinding the same mundane conversation until sex happens basically.

Updated Review.

The problem isn't that there isn't enough content, it's that there are too many mechanics. There's a dozen different stats and it crosses the line from being immersive to being overwhelming.

There's just too much stuff going on.

Yes, it is grindy and repeatable, so not everyone will like it. But the scenes and overall "feel" of the game are worth it! There is sometjing great in detailed descriptions of the "main actions" (in my opinion, of course)

Very grindy, and every new update breaks the game so you have to do the entire grind all over again. The mechanics are also very vague and not easy to figure out. For example the last girl can be in a bad mood and the game gives you no indication on how to improve it, in the end i had to edit my save file just to progress with her.

Hello Efit
I love your game, the idea has great potential, it breaks with the routine of games of this style
Congratulations!
I hope to see many new things in the future, such as the possibility of more girls, more images for events in different parts of the relationship and the possibility of the appearance of other male characters with their possibility of avoidable ntr

Anyway great work and I hope you update this game many times

It's hard to recommend a game where I spent 30 minutes repeating the same few inputs over and over again with basically zero choice and no feedback that anything I was doing had an impact on the game world, so I'm just not going to. This game is bad, it pairs a janky UI that requires one too many clicks for literally everything with unclear gameplay and progression, as well as one of the most brutal grinds outside of MMOs. Maybe a future update will fix the problems, maybe it won't, but for now all I can say is avoid this entirely.

The amount of grind in this game is beyond ridiculous. Even using the cheats, you have to simulate thousands of interactions for what ends up being a handful of still frames. Just check the image folder and save yourself loads of time.

I can't even begin to think how long this would take without cheating. Seriously... re-dick-you-LOUS!
