    I've been playing since the early versions, the rendering and thermal models are great, the plot is weak but I don't care, there are a lot of fetishes that are great for me and I enjoy it.

    But what is unacceptable is that in the new update, there is a section that requires you to use the computer's virtual currency to make money. The only way is to earn $1 per click. Want to buy a multiplier but forced to click 2,500 times? ?

    You have to do this to progress the story, and I couldn’t even find a cheat mode, which really bothered me.

    The cheat unlocking of the gallery does not even allow you to see new content, which means it forces you to waste energy and time clicking 2,500 times in a single click to get more times before you can see the subsequent content through the plot.

    But unfortunately I can only choose to abandon this game, I wish you good luck!

    Very enjoyable game that is somehow also underwhelming as well.

    Some aspects of the game is a 5 and then also feel like the game deserves a 3.

    Let's do the Good, the bad and the ugly.
    I normally don't do this, but for this one I think I need to since there is a lot to love and some very disappointing aspects of the game.

    ===
    The good:
    1) The renders - Top notch
    2) The characters - Very cool with very distinct personalities
    3) Enjoyment in playing the game was just awesome
    4) Minimal grinding except for 1 horrible idea that will be explored in: The bad section.
    5) The hints... Tells you exactly what to do. So helpful for Sanbox.
    6) The story, while silly, was very entertaining and it actually keeps you wondering what will happen next.

    The ugly:
    Sandbox implementation. It is basically a VN dressed up as a sandbox. There is no method to advance time, other than to press the skip time button . You had 2 main events that occurs on a Friday evening. There are 0 things to do if there is not an event, so you have to skip time for the whole week. (Luckily it takes about 10 seconds to do so it's not a huge time waster) But that just begs the question... why do it in a sandbox. You basically choose the order you want to do things in.... that you can also do in a VN style.

    The bad:
    1) The pacing... This is a light-hearted game (despite the many warnings about bad things that's going to happen), Even the NTR section of the game (so far) is pretty whacky and as a mostly non-ntr player quite enjoyable. So
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    2) The money clicker...seriously!!! That must be one of the dumbest ideas I have ever seen implemented in a game. Being the clever guy that I am (joke), I eventually figured out a way to take out most of the pain, but it's still a pretty hair brained idea. Talk about the ultimate grind!
    ===

    Conclusion: Despite some negatives in the game, it's still a very fun game to play. Despite there being no sex scenes in the game yet, it is full of erotic stories with tons of very lewd content and plenty of nudity.

    For me, a major factor of my ratings consist of: Did I have fun playing the game. And for this one my answer is yes. Certain aspects of the game is a bit disappointing, but overall, the game is a lot of fun to play.

    4 stars.

    Story is sometimes too slow ( but only my opinion ) but i like the game, i like the chance between NTR and solo ( sometimes funny choice ) The story is good the artwork too but i think, if Hazel and Kate or Selina or all three have more girl/girl action without the MC it is more fun imao :sneaky:. To earn Bitcoins is not so good, too slow earn money in first time 1200 $ . I like the humor with the landlord ( first scene i think if they sit on his lap why not on his dick in her pussy ?...that is more embarrassement or more temptation and lust for her.

    The highlight of this story is definitely the renders. Other then that this was a huge letdown for me because when you look at the promos and artwork you get the sense that something big is about to happen but the story and gameplay kills that.

    I'll start with the characters because they're always the bread and butter of any story. But I don't get the trope of making everyone appear stupid, don't know if this was done with the intentions to add humor but this miss the spot with me. Everyone from the MC to the mature mother figure is written as imbeciles. The way they talk and interact with each other. Sophie is written like a teen in the way she articulates.

    To transition from the characters to the story because it all connects. The entire plot is ridiculous. The idea that a mafia kingpin is even going to roll the dice on a young, loud mouthed.. simple teen is bonkers. But it happened. The story then turns into a sandbox and now we go into the gameplay aspect of the project.

    There's very minimum content for a project that's been out this long. Even when you're starting from the very beginning there's nothing but waiting and clicking. You wait until an entire week before interacting with characters, there's nothing to do in between. Sometimes this character and the next character route fall on the same day which means more skipping and clicking for nothing. Things like the Backpack feature, PC feature and the newly phone feature doesn't seem to work unless you hit the "ESC" key as opposed to the usual functions you may have come across in sandbox games.

    If you're just wanting to fap and don't really care about the story then this one's for you. Also having played both paths I would suggest the NTR path if you're just wanting to get off. The games acts as if it makes a difference but when the dialogue is nearly identical on both paths but there's much much much more sex scenes on the NTR path versus the vanilla path it's hard to take the other path serious as everything develops much faster on one path when stalling on the next.

    I think I about covered everything.

    The plus is the renders of course while the story, the characters, the dialogue and the gameplay is seriously lacking. Good luck

    The game has a nice idea overall. But the story is just a bad attempt at humor mixed with sexual assault and rape, it just does not mix. The story falls flat with the easy corruption of girls that are supposedly innocent but dick hungry to the point of almost having sex. Its really turned into a mess of a novel really, not much work on the story or game. But if you like stupid attempts at humor mixed with pg rated porn , this game is for you.

    I love this game. The type of NTR it features is really well done. The fact that it includes both story-driven NTR and "what if" scenarios makes it feel pretty complete. Plus, having the option for vanilla with incest is a great addition. The girls’ designs are absolutely excellent.

    Of course, I’d prefer if there weren’t year-long gaps between updates. If someone is paying on Patreon, SubscribeStar, or any other platform, it would be nice to see content released more consistently. That’s really my only complaint. Everything else is outstanding

    Pros:
    Nice art

    Cons:
    Typical story in the beginning

    Chapter 1
    I liked the game, great character, fun animation lots of teasing but it just falls short, it can't keep it hard enough as soon as it starts we switch.

    There is one scene which he invested in ( old man and his fried) and if some one skips it (NTR) there is nothing else as big.
    For one chapter i really wished protagonist would at least hook up with some one, his manhood always stays in open and no hole would embrace him. :cry:

    The UnHolyOne

    originally started to look quite promising, however after spending a few hours playing, its anything but sandbox. No sleep penetrative sex at all, cum on lips, legs, tits, and thats it.

    the sex is lacking for the amount of Text there is to get through, its boring to say the least. truly fucking boring.

    the character models look good from your standard renpy, however there could be additional details of the genitals and so on. but yeah. the game is boring

    Game in the works for almost two years yet no sexual scenes whatsoever...Unrealistic scene where the MC forces himself on the mob boss' secretary. Instantly morphs from timid virgin to general macchissmo...while not being able to pull even one good punch. But it's ok to whip out his dick on the first female character he interacts with...What's that? I'm to toxic?
    Oh look, the steam comments are the same about the game...
    Add some god damn logic to your product.
    The good thing about the game is the setting. Tell the dev the MC doesn't have to score every chick in the game.
    Game has promise. There is enough booty to go around.
    The NTR sex scenes can be a good idea, while the MC actually matures and start scoring the normal way!

    Ain't the biggest fan of so-called sandbox style games in the first place and this one does little to change my perception of them. My main issue being that content is spaced out in such a way that there are days where you're pretty much just waiting for the next event you can trigger to roll around.

    It's a pity because I was kinda enjoying it in spite of the aforementioned and other minor issues. But I don't have the patience to stick with a game that doesn't respect my time. That's an issue with most sandbox games - there's a lot of needless clicking about - but the issue is exacerbated here by the way events are spaced out.

    I loved this game when it first came out. I enjoyed the humor and even the NTR aspects. The characters are all well written and I was looking forward to seeing, first of all would it stick around and secondly, how it would develop.

    But suddenly, the dev inserted a sandbox element and just ruined it. Why do people do "sandbox" in these VNs? Ren'py is not really designed to be a gaming system and while some devs can pull off some gamification, sandbox, IMO, rarely works well and this is no exception.

    In this game, there are only certain times of the day and certain times of the week different elements will fire. FFS, just tell the dang story. Why make the user skip days or time periods and have nothing to do in the off times? Just freaking tell the story.

    At least, so far, the MC has not had to do things like look for dirty laundry or read a book to increase a skill.

    Sigh.... I know I am in the minority here and there seem to be a number of people who like this "game" and I am happy for the dev. Seriously. They obviously work hard and are talented and they produce regular updates so we need to support devs like this. I just will never understand sandbox. There are only 2 or 3 Ren'py VNs that I know of with decent sandbox systems, but most of the time I find they just get in the way and GC is no exception. It takes you out of the story and interrupts the flow. It's just silly.

    Pros:
    Great renders and models.

    Cons:
    No reason what so ever to make this a sandbox.
    The progression system is bad as you have to complete each character's first quest to begin the next quest of a character, which makes no sense when the game is a sandbox and you are supposed to be able to interact with characters in the order you prefer.
    Lastly the main character is very uninteresting and shallow, as is most of the other characters in this game except for maybe the Mafia boss guy.

    Consistently_1nconsistent

    Story = Subpar.

    Models = Actually Good

    Choices = practically non existent except for NTR, no NTR. The * is the only reason this gets 2 stars. But here's the biggest problem, not only will the MC make zero progress with any of the women in his life, but if you actually want to see some action, you practically have to chose the NTR* stuff. It's fucking pathetic.

    Gameplay = Unnecessary Free Roam designed to waste your time and create false longevity for a practically nonexistent story.

    Characters = Most of the characters are fine, but the MC is fucking child ready to fuck anything the moves.

    Music = Fuck whomever made the music for this crap.

    Story 2/5
    Its has a pretty solid main story which is quite fun, but it gets ruined by the promisses of having alot of choices, problem is you dont have a choice what so ever, MC fucks whoever due to having a mindset of a 12 year old that never learned the word no and you will find that out within the first 5 mins of playing where he gets a BJ from a very ugly old ass milf with big saggy tits, without having a single choice as the player and one ting i hate is LIs being forced on you.
    MC feels very very submissive and where tags show male dom its more like femdom, females bossing MC around forcing him to do shit and then out of the blue it turns to maledom which feels weird and idiotic going from pure submissive to dom.... and it just dosent fit hes character either, maybe its supposed to be funny but i dont see it.
    Its to bad since i think main story had alot of potential, just the fact that you can kill people or get your boss to do so was a good supprise, there just to much other shit draging it down.

    Cant say i like MC not just that hes very childish but he looks and act like it as well, he loves anything that has a pussy old/yound/big/small/ugly anything, it just gets very cringy reading hes thought process when he thinks about how sexy and how great a big ass look even when its the most ugly LI in game, this is where i wish devs would learn to let the reader deside for them selfs and drop the cringy and idiotic thoughts, MC is also very very brainless, hes simply just not much fun to play.

    Girls/LIs 2/5
    They are just plain ugly and theres absolutly nothing hot about them, it dosent help that the main focus is on big tit fetish which i also hate but even the faces are just well ugly, but it comes down to personal taste they just dident do a thing for me, game would need alot better diversity in builds to ever stand a chance since it blocks all players who arent into big tit fetish.

    Animations 2/5
    Short boring and just meh

    Music 2/5
    Standard background stuff and not really in my taste since it dosent really fit the game in most cases.

    Choices 2/5
    Only reason its 2 and not 1 is due to having the star showing NTR content so you can avoid it if you wish, but as for everything else it would be 0/5 since you cant even pick who you want to fuck or not.

    Sandbox 2/5
    Its just a standard boring sandbox clicking around map, doing quests, not questlines are tied together so you will be forced to do all questlines which removes any freedom and make sandbox pointless, many times you just have to click skip time for days so you can get to the day you need since theres nothing else to do....its just boring and pointless waste of time.
    It has a hint system that works ok, but it gets a bit boring keep having to click hints to figure out whats next.

    Content 1/5
    Game is 1½ years old and it feels more like a first release, there just arent much content, and you reach the end of content with some LIs after doing a single quest with them, some dosent even have any content at all...same for main story its barely even started.

    Sadly just another ''pretty renders'' game.
    Story progression = 0 ( cause lets face it why develop the game when you can make xmas,halloween etc episodes that add nothing to the game.
    Renders = decent
    Forced kinks = check
    Gameplay = Horrible
    Story = Subpar (at best)

    It was disapointing. It could be a lot better. It's mostly an empty sandbox. You have very specific times and places to be or you can't get to the next scene... That's not really how sandboxes are supposed to work. A lot of the scenes are NTR, and it seems like a wanna be harem game. Blocking an NTR path doesn't gain you more sex or scenes... It just avoids the NTR. The renders are nice though. Plus the main game is far too sparce of content to even consider making a spin off game... Which again, is just NTR. It's pretty much pointless to make this game a sandbox. The only "Sandbox Scenes" are sleeper creeper. You can't even talk to girls or buy anything or do anything in the sandbox portion other than those sleeper creeper scenes. Otherwise the sandbox portion is just... Wait until this specific day of the week and go to this location. Oh, and you can put in the incest code in the sandbox part too... It just feels so empty on content. There are no random scenes... No skills like lockpicking or work to do to make money to buy items. Plus the sleeper creeper stuff is really brief and there is almost no content there. Plus it's lacking in a sort of "Relationship System". You can't like build trust or love or anything with the girls. The entire game could have been made in a visual novel and nothing would have been lost. Add the sleeper creeper option at the end of one of the days. Add the incest at start of the game... Then just at a "Jump" to all the spots that start the next scene. The sandbox elements serve no greater purpose. The most annoying part is you gotta go to your bed to sleep at the end of each day... It would have gotten 1 more star if there was a "Fast Sleep" option. You just go around and explore and find nothing, then you can't even end the day anywhere... You gotta walk all the way to your room and lick on the bed.

    Surprisingly good story for what the concept of the game is. Visuals are good and not too heavy or light on text versus visuals. Updates have massively improved quality of life playing the game. The game provides enough hints where you don't need a walkthrough or mod to find all of the content.

    If you're looking for a sensual experience that goes beyond the obvious, this game is definitely a worthwhile choice to explore.
    Overall, this exceeded my expectations in terms of narrative, visuals, and gameplay. It's an impressive example .

    The higher rating is mostly because the LI's Sophia and Hazel are stunning. If not for them, and the anticipation of things to come ntr wise, I would rate this much lower. There's a lot wrong with this game:
    - very badly implemented sandbox elements, it's impossible to enjoy without a walktrough mod. The dev should drop this completely going forward.
    - lots and lots of teasing in the ntr department, abruptly ending the scenes, effectively blue balling the player. This is just due to poor writing skills, trying to prolong the game in an artificial way.
    - the story and dialog are beyond suspension of disbelief and make little to no sense more than half the time.
    - some of the facial expressions are hideous.
    - the mc is an idiot and a perv, very unlikable, it does make it easier to go the ntr route and root for all the 'bad guys' in the story.

    I wouldn't recommend it in it's current state (or future if you dislike ntr), but I think when the dev finally includes some scenes where the LI's get 'conquered' by some of the ntr characters, it could give us some really hot stuff. I'm going to pick this one back up, once that happens.
