I played through the new chapter, but I'm very much of two minds about it. This game has an almost effortless eroticism that really elevates the sex scenes to another level, and that is once again on full display here. The story is intriguing, too, as we slowly learn more about the secret world the MC finds himself in. At the same time, however, there's a lot of focus on the MC seducing Maxine and Meredith away from their husbands and I just have *no* taste for it.
Meredith's scene in particular was downright squicky with how manipulative the MC was being. We can say he feels a little guilty about needing to seduce her at one point, but if so he sure never lets that guilt show. It's weird to wish I could skip a sex scene entirely when it's so well crafted, but that's were I am. Julia's scenes are fantastic since they bypass the issue completely, but the rest of the game is clearly not aimed at me. It's a shame because this is a game I want to love, even if just for Julia. But I'm not really feeling it.
Game of Hearts deserves praise, but I fear I'm not in a position to give it.
