It's hard to review a project that will go in a different direction shortly so I'm going to base this on what is currently here, which is a mostly kinetic AVN. It looks like it will eventually have free roam or sandbox style elements and if those don't pan out well, I'll adjust the review.
The characters are all charming. There's a lot of banter. A LOT. Either you enjoy the back and forth fast fire conversation style or you don't.
The MC is likeable but there's a degree of disconnect I have with him. It's like he's constantly ready to say whatever Mia needs to hear. I'd call it being socially OP but that sounds stupid, I don't have a better way of phrasing it at this time. Need to be self-deprecating? There. Need to be a punching bag? There. Need to be absolutely savage? There.
Mia overshadows the MC. I'd almost say the MC isn't the star of this and it's going for more of an ensemble style. Her personality plays off the MC and they fit together. She's shown to be extremely competent through backstory but you don't actually see that due to the main plot getting in the way.
Not sure how I feel about Jade and Noemi yet. You get half of the relationship dynamics really quick. Jade pulls Mia to be more chaotic but you don't know what Mia does for Jade yet. Noemi simply exists as Jade's current fling and they have banter similar to the MC/Mia but it's more "edgy."
For the lesbian scene, that's never really been an issue for me. If it is for you, then so be it. Jade hooks up with Noemi, it's unavoidable and will be plot relevant at some point. The fact the thread got completely derailed by this one scene instead of griping that Mia actually went through with Jade's plan to use the MC and dump him (for a few days at least) still baffles me.
I enjoy the dev's humor and ended up laughing or at least chuckling at quite a few of the jokes. Toast 2.0 got me. It's clear a lot of effort went into this.
The music is okay. It's just a generic track. I imagine it will be improved upon in the future but until then it is what it is.
TLDR: Lots of banter, a main plot with potential to go somewhere, and two girls making a bunch of dudes mad.
It's not for everyone. It's for me though.
