Twistedscarlett is one of the top of the top when it comes to western porn VNs and it fucking shows. The game is currently in a very early stage and so most of the characters are not introduced, but if the prequel is any indication, quality will remain just as high as it is right now, in terms of writing as well as design and art.
It takes everything that was good about the previous game, and adds what experience they've gathered onto it to make it even better while cutting no corners. Everything's peak, characters are likeble (if they are meant to be, fuck you Melody), they talk and think like real people in accordance to their character and values. If anything, they are *too reasonable* and logical, unlike real people. They've made a fairly fleshed out world with the hurdles of the setting and now delved into the question of "what if an event happened in the past, how would this world have changed in the meantime". So its nice to see different perspectives and "what ifs" you wouldnt have thought about. Your player character's justifiably conflicted and has a real personality outside of the player. but for the most part its a vessel for you to project onto, as well as deliver snarky dialogue without being annoying, since he is able to bounce off of the other character's personalities.
The art is pretty obvious, what you see in the screenshots is what it is. its not animated but the quality of the stills is consistent with the artstyle of the busts and always just as good.
The sounds are just subtle enough and dont get annoying like in other VNs where scenes are accompanied by either music or a cacophony of squelching noises.
Cant wait for more updates, keep a close eye on this one.
