Note :

you should definitely try it .

the developer working hard for his game , he got my respect .
all the best for him.

This game really surprised me. The grafics and the sandbox elements of the gameplay fit perfectly, it is very well written, the story is great and very intriguing , the animations are the only thing that i think can get better attention in the development.
If you like games with futa/trans content this your game.

At this point (v0.05) there isn't a lot of sex content but i understand that this is in the very early stages of development so hope to see this game supported and recognised so we can get better and bigger updates in the future.

NEED MOREEE!

The good

The renders are very good.
The setting seems interesting.


The Bad

The characters are poorly written with their decisions not making sense sometimes.
The story is bad.
The dialogues are bad.
The sandbox openworld elements are not really needed. Seems that they're just in the game so that it seems longer as there's not much in the story.
The MC is really passive not acting on his own just reacting to the world.
It feels like if you skip the futa content half of the game is not gonna happen for you.

Also on a personal note fu x male not really my cup of tea but as many people like it, there could be an option by the dev for the gender of the MC while keeping the majority of the game similar. If the MC was female for this game i would've given it 2 stars, maybe even 3.

I would like to give this game a higher score, because male on futa/trap, and incest are my two favorite VN genres, however this game has 3 main problems so far. 1 there are 2 unavoidable rape scenes, you can skip them but they still happen, they are to two non-LI's but I if there is rape in a VN I would rather the MC be the one doing the action, not it happening with other people. 2nd issue is that the MC has only 2 scenes so far and they are both handjobs, with the only sex scenes being the 2 aforementioned rape scenes, this is way too little content for the MC of a VN. Finally 3 it seems to be that the game is going to cater to futa on Male action as the MC is almost raped himself by someone, which is not my cuppa tea so i cannot rate it higher than 2 stars for now.

If more content is added in the future i will update the rating.

The writing/story is horrible, even without the awful engrish. Images are mediocre at best. Can definitely use a proper english editor for spelling, grammar, and endless punctuation mistakes. Could make the MC a little less stupid in the story, unless its states somewhere after the hospital (as that is as far as I could go) that he has a severe mental handycap from the "accident." The MC also has females flocking to him even though he has the charisma of a pile of shit.

v0.04
This has a lot of potential.
Story 5/5 Really good mystery and dialogue, the characters felt real to me
Sound 5/5 Never felt out of place, pleasant
Graphics 5/5 Really nice design
UI 4/5 You get the hang of it, would prefer a highlight
The rape scene in the prison which the dev actually took time to develop was really good, i loved the dialogue and having the girl be treated as a piece of meat felt really nice either putting myself in her or the futa's place.
The first bathroom scene i missed and only saw after checking the comments, didn't really like it because the design of the professor reminded me of those cheap anime porn games, honestly felt like a stock design to quickly put a scene together, the prison scene that had actual original designs was really fucking good, specially the personality of the characters.
Personally loved the sister and her design, and how she reacted actually, idk why people are saying she was way too cold, honestly didn't seem that way to me, but people live different lives and have different expectations of what's normal, hopefully the author doesn't take too much heed of the criticism of those people as i believe the current dialogue is just fine.
Saw a lot of complaints about the grammar and sentence structure, this feels like it's coming mostly from native english speakers, me having english as a second language i had no trouble understanding the intent and context of the words like "landlady" "my mother's daughter", they made sense to me and i feel that it's because like the author english isn't my native language so i felt less "restricted" ? and had no trouble understanding and it didn't feel out of place at all and made sense to me in regards to how the characters were acting.
I think this has huge potential, i never skipped the dialogue once and thats fucking rare as fuck, this has such a good story and dialogue, good for the author!
Personally not a big fan of the mother's design, but you can't please everyone, i'm sure a lot of people liked it.
I personally never played the version without the arrows, but after a while you get the hang of it and it's fine, personally a highlight on clickable things would be nice, then i probably wouldn't have missed the bathroom rape scene.
Also i don't think the sister is a sociopath at all and people are clearly overreacting, hopefully the author pays no heed to those people, i felt bad reading so many bad comments but felt relieved when seeing the reviews but nevertheless decided to post my own, i worry the author thinks it's bad after seeing so many bad comments but i think most people that comment probably are always gonna do it to complain anyway

PROS
+ The renders are solid.
+ The GUI is very helpful so you won't get lost navigating some of the more complex sandbox areas.
+ The animations are smooth and sweet.
+ Trans/Futa content <3 (optional if you are not into that)
+ The story is decent and offers a nice mystery to look forward as the story progresses.
+ The music is pretty good.

CONS
- The setting is not super original, amnesia guy going through school and stuff.
- The sex scenes are smooth but could use a little bit more variety in camera angles.

Overall I think is a very enjoyable game, is kinda early in development so we are still scratching the surface of the plot and the characters but so far I enjoyed what I played and Im looking forward the next update.

So far terrible. For starters there is an incest path, but there is not even a hint of any relationship with any relative besides small conversations.

Second and maybe most importatn the responsiveness is laggy as hell, some things may take up to 1 second to load, and im talking about clics on stuff, which in a sandbox navigation is a game killer.

Another part is that, despite the fact that its a sandbox gameplay, so far there is no place to go, besides the exact place that moves the story forward.

The sexual content part....Well:
I have seen a totally out of nowhere and free "rape" scene wiht the msot basic dialogue and an animation playing. So far doesnt seem to be any subplot there. And a person who just watches a girl being raped and does nothing abut it is the biggest shit you can ever imagine. Mc didnt have much personality to begin with, but afer this scene he could die already, i dont care, this character is shit.

Then you have the option to accept some "herma" whic i thought it was some plot related terminology, but when i learned it was actually a word for futa, i understood it was gameplay related, not plot related.
So you have the option to accept this character as sexual interest, but this character comes with the full package, if you like the girl and dont want to suck dicks, you better forget about her.

For "sexual" content you have one girl that flashes you, and one nurse that maybe wants to blow you, i rejected her, cause i hate free out of nowhere sex.

And the "sister" is a Tsundere, so, nothing to expect for the next year. The mother is missing for the most part so far, so nothing here either. You will hve to stick to side characters and hope that at least one of them is an heterosexual female.

Nothin remarkable about the sex animations, i think those are used quite often in some daz games, but depending on those exclusively makes the sex scene boring, you can not know the contxt of the secene cause there is no text during its playback.

As I sad, terrible, my dick didnt even react, not even in anticipation.

Love Love Love this game! The waking up with no recollection is mysterious however the untold hidden past with the Herma project and the mysterious new guardian is awesome! Good sex scenes and characters as well as their development i highly recommend this game!

I am impressed with this game.
The game has amazing graphics, interesting characters, and most importantly a good story with perfectly written dialogues.
This game was the first one that caused me so many positive emotions that I already decided to write a review

I was very pleasantly surprised by this game! I love that it doesn't make futa/trans characters these sex machines, but instead they have feelings, flaws and are overall, just as human as everybody else. Also, the game does well at not revealing everything from the get-go and lets the player figure stuff out for himself, which also gets him more invested in the story. I'm impatiently waiting for the next update!

Amazing game for now short but epic quality and etc I really like it!! I can't wait for more content keep it up bro of course I like futa/shemale in this type of games it's one of my fetishes like foot fetish and loli.

Hey look a review! .... In all seriousness seems like it is gonna be a great game and cant wait for future content. There are not many good quality Futanari/Shemale games and this has the look and feel of a great one. Grant is I think I may of seen a few spelling or grammatical errors but I can overlook those. I am hoping for more Futas, and some Futa on male scenes (Avoidable for those who are sensitive to that kind of thing) I know I will be diving into those scenes ...head first ( pun intended) lol.

I really like the concept of big dick futas and i wanted so many more games with this type of content, all in all, I'm a size king. The others girls are really gorgeous, i love the design of the "sister". Liking the story of the game till now(0.3). Hope more content, not gonna lie, more futas().

This is a really cool game with an intriguing storyline and an interesting in-game universe. One of the best "futa" games I've ever played I strongly recommend play it to all fans of this genre, and high-quality visual novels in general

loved it. story even at its early stages seems very interesting. also this game has futas which already has me sold lol. cant wait for the next updates and where the story leads. only issue i had with the game was at the school when u first arrive, i was stuck for a bit because i couldnt find where to click and was surprised to see its that tiny sign in the back of the hall. maybe make the clickables a lil bit more obvious? because at one point i assumed they just forgot to add a clickable there. other than that i enjoyed the game. (this review is of version v0.03)

I have tried this game at v0.03, and have removed it for several reasons. Personally, I think the concept for your story sounds ok, but the presentation could use a lot of work.

Your story contains some really bad "Engrish", mostly followable but with terrible grammar. I'm not sure, but I believe your primary language is French. But, whatever your primary language is, I feel you should fully develop the game in that language, with a proofreader for that language. Only then should you worry about translating to English (with an English proofreader).

Your sandbox user interface could also use a bit of work. For one, it is inconsistent. In some cases, you click on signs to navigate and in other cases, you click on the room part (like the stairwell). I suggest you use either one or the other.

In the case of the Admin sign in the hallway, the sign should be larger and easier to read.

I have seen the requests for a fast-travel UI, which actually makes sense, especially for the house. I think you should use one, or at the very least provide a directory in the game which shows what is where.

I may try your game again in the future. Good luck.

Can explore but never get lost, always telling you basically where to go
Can choose to have certain thing on or off
good graphics
interesting story

Instant fan of the game and can't wait for the next part, and the part after that, and the part after that....

not much sexual content (as of writing this), but good story and super sexy ladies! Optional futa, which right up my alley! Great sorta walkthrough/guide system. Should probably try to make navigating more clear in the school though to click the sign for example. Can't wait for more!

Good start, i feel like the sandbox is a bit forced but it was enjoyable and those arrows and pointers help alot.. Still early in development but interesting chars and relations; also, chicks with dicks, count me in.
