This is a tough review to write. The dev clearly has a vivid imagination for erotic scenarios and situations. I also applaud his creation of Aunt Melissa, who ranks as one of the sexiest, most erotic love interests of any AVN I've ever played. And the slow-burn seduction between Daniel and Melissa seems plausible, the way it is presented.
The art is pretty good, too. I loved all the women. The animations aren't great, but they're fine and improve as the game goes along. The story is interesting, though it is never fleshed out or tackled in any meaningful way.
Despite the reasons above, I give only two stars, and that is being generous, I think, because ultimately the title is virtually unplayable. For all of SerialNumberComics' pornographic and artistic talents, he is decidedly less gifted in the realm of game creation. I tried early on to navigate through FOTM on my own, without a walkthrough, but got mired in Groundhog's Day-like monotony that stretched indefinitely. "Grind" doesn't begin to describe it. Then I got hold of a walkthrough, only to again become bogged down when something that should have happened wouldn't happen, for reasons that were never clear.
Even with a perfect walkthrough, the game has the MC repeating the same conversations and scenarios--word for word, action for action--day after day after day. I get that the dev wants to build the relationships and give us the illusion of time passing, but this approach is frustrating. There are escalations of scenarios that do happen in FOTM, but then suddenly we find ourselves having to repeat something from earlier in the game.
Unfortunately, thanks to these issues, I have still not managed to finish, despite having restarted five times. It doesn't help that now there is an FOTM and FOTM II, which I find confusing, and there still is no official walkthrough.
I know this game is officially completed, but would love to see it tidied up in a way that would allow me to play the whole thing. I guess I will check out the mods, particularly the one that reduces the grind, and see if they work. I try to avoid mods that are not sanctioned by the devs, but with this title, I feel it's unavoidable.
Bottom line: there is some super erotic content here, some of the best available in any AVN, but it's bogged down hopelessly in terrible "gameplay."
