It's not photorealistic and it's not supposed to be. But regardless of the "sophistication" of the artstyle, within its style it is done well and IMO does a great job of setting the stage for the story scenes.
It's genuinely crap, I say this as a drawfag of sorts. But I don't base my like or dislike of this game on the artwork. This game is incredibily ambitious because of its sheer branchiness and the fact that it is so completely female in its writing, logic and value system.
Seems like the logical evolution of the good girl route would be to not do things like fuck her dad.[...]a morally loose Ash, seems more like she'd fuck anyone dad included.
And that's why I appreciate a girl writing this, and not a guy. See, you're using "guy logic" here, as a guy who doesn't give a damn, you'd fuck everything that isn't on top of a tree before you count to three. Or at least you'd think so, when you actually get into that situation and try it, after a good romp you're exhausted and after a couple "volunteers" you are utterly drained and just want to read a good book and be left alone.
But for women, as in XX-chromosomal female,
every single bit I just mentioned is quite drastically different. A "good girl" could be a sexual Mother Theresa, giving free "relief" to losers, while a "bad girl" could be a monogamous gold digger, faithfully trying to give her millionaire octogenarian husband a cardiac arrest through sheer sexual bliss. A good girl is not necessarily uptight, and a bad girl can be harder to get than any good girl you've ever met. It's not the "looseness" that makes the difference between good girl and bad girl, but the
why of who she fucks. Both GGAsh and BGAsh's vagina demand, cry, stomp their feet and crave a good plowing by Chad Thundercock and BBC Tyrone - because that is just how minges are. They're small bags of skin that want awesome cock going through them at all times. But GGAsh chooses not to fuck Chad Thundercock & Friends, because it'd hurt Eric, the guy she loves. When GGAsh fucks others, it's for the sake of the others. Or to put it in more general terms: She uses her sexuality for others.
BGAsh meanwhile doesn't base her decisions on who to fuck and who not to fuck on the basis of her love, but on the basis of "what's in it for me" - Whether it's the debasing arousal and financial gain of prostitution, or the vigorous plowing of a virile Chad Thundercock, those are things that Ashley craves - and every variation of Ashley so. BGAsh fucks for herself, not for others. Observe the BGAsh route lays. Not a single one of them is out of love for anyone, only her own pussys cravings and her own desire for validation and money.
Love is something you
do, for others, altruistically. Like you love your children. It's the same love that makes Ashley fuck Eric, even though he's a complete faggot. The love can go so far as for Ash to completely deny herself that which she truly craves, denying that she is into big muscly dudes, denying that she likes a strong dominant guy to use her like the piece of fuckmeat nature has made her into.
