VN - Unity - Completed - Hard Times at Sequoia State Park [Final + Alice DLC] [Dirty Ink Games]

It's a good game. The scenes are nice. The main problem is the game is short as hell. And so despite being tagged complete it feels like a slightly extended demo. The devs seemed to had some kind of expansion pack based update model planned but nothing much seemed to have come out of that. At any rate the current version the game ends far too quickly after just a couple of scenes for the overall game.

The MC is just unbearable. She only has two sides to her, horny and miserable and it feels like ranting about her miserable life turns her on. The art on the other hand is quite good, besides the strange choice to make the inner pussy a bright neon pink.

This is short kinetic novel about some cute dickgirl working at state park (as tittle suggests).

PROS:
- Really nice drawn characters and scenes. Sexy and good looking. Top point of this game.
- No voice or sounds but nice background sountrack

CONS:
- Very short. Description says Final and Completed but it's actually more like demo with 4 sex scenes (3 in DLC).
- No animations.
- Lots of text. Like really really LOTS of text. During sex scene we get: 1) lots of talking, 2) MC thinking about her past life, 3) MC thinking about sense of life, 4) MC thinking abot all past relations with person she's fucking, 5) MC thinking about bunch of other things more or less related with actual sex scene... Yeah that's too much. At some point you even stop reading and start skipping whet you get nice single picture with tons of text to read.

It could be really good game if we could get more scenes and actions and less talking and pointless narration. Yes I know that devs wanted players to get know as much about characters as possible but you can't simply put big textbook inside sex scene with few pictures (even if they're really great pictures). And game could be actually completed instead of being short demo version.

Tldr: It’s a short “kinetic novel” with not much to offer other than nice looking sex scenes and skimpy clothed good-looking characters. Oh, and there is a bear!

Art is definitely the biggest strength that HTaSSP (bruh) has to offer, it’s simple but good and more or less consistent through the whole playthrough, although there are some pics that are only colored, without render and I found one photo that was treated with oil-paint filter. On the contrary, the biggest flaw is the absurd amount of meaningless text that repeats itself using different words and sentence structure, and sometimes straight up repeats itself without changing anything – I don’t know if it’s a mistake that no one found or a conscious choice to stretch out this game even a little bit more. As for the gameplay, there isn’t much, your choices matter only when it comes to what position you want to have next. There were two options to choose after leaving Dubois, first to go take out the desk from the storage and the second to go wonder on a trail. I chose the first one, but the main character is so clumsy that she got lost and ended up on the trail anyway, which gives me a feeling that the options aren’t meant for the player, but for the devs so that the game will not be tagged as kinetic novel.
All that being said, I can’t hate too much on the devs, considering it’s the first game they made. It’s sold as something more than it is, but hopefully their next game will be as good as it seems to be. There aren’t much futa games, so I hope them the best.



Two side notes:
I don’t know why devs decided to use Unity instead of Renpy, because on default gives player more functions to use than HTaSSP offer and is less buggy.

Why the bulge is so small on the main art of protagonist when in close-ups she’s packing so much more? Absolutely wasted potential 〆(´Д｀ )
Good thing is that it looks like they will fix it in the My Office is Full of Yokai

This was fun thoroughly enjoyed it so why is it just 3 stars.
It lacks content it's just so short the, options changed the scenes outcome iirc but yeah it was over like a oneshot manga with one scene also the devs put a bit too much effort into voice acting. It felt more like a testdrive if they could monetize these projects i just can't give it more since the effort of other games is just on another level still
Very nice artwork and futamc

So I'm here because I was intrigued by the art style and the look of the characters.
I started playing and at the beginning of the first scene I'll be honest I got aroused. But very fast I lost my arousal because all of the meaningless dialogue that goes nowhere and shouldn't be there just to inflate the length of the game.
The scene was so long, with so little visual content that made it all very disappointing.

I expected for something more baked.

A fun choose-your-own-adventure game with an excellent illusion of choice that maintains player agency while not being so convoluted or off the rails as to prevent the player from seeing scenes. And what scenes! The art is magnificent and well detailed, extremely erotic, and plentiful. Sadly only one major sex scene sequence exists, but I do dearly hope that sequels with the other alluded to women will be made.

Gameplay: 5/5, CYOA
-Impactful choices
-Easy mechanics
-Great save system

Eroticism: 5/5, pictures
-Great art
-Lots of art
-Really good writing, quite witty
-Only one major partner

Fun, short, simple, easy to get into, good art.

Holy Shit !

The game is at first stage but it is hot as hell ! usually I don't like such "make your choice" VN's, but this one !...

++ Very Hot Scenes
++ Graphics

-- Early Stage
- Waiting for bangigng other girls

Genuinely a great game. Some people say it's too short. But its fking free and is In my opinion one of if not the best Futa Games on this webside and probably better than any others I have played. Regarding the goal of a porn game. An they succeeded. I nutted. Which is rare for me and porn games. I guess the quality and the fetish really struck a chord with me.

Overall it's a pretty disappointing experience for the wrong reasons. The art style is great and there's a variety of positions available with the one scene here yet it's being considered a completed game despite it obviously being not. The developer has essentially avoided the "early access" title by saying all the content they're going to work on is "free dlc" which means it might or might not come but they're still marketing it as a full game with 15 unique scenes when in reality one of the scenes is a dream and the other is with one character and otherwise the entire visual novel is on rails.

It's worth giving it a quick play for free but I definitely wouldn't recommend buying it for $10 usd or supporting this scummy practice of selling 5% of a game as a full experience. None of your choices matter, there are no branching paths, you cannot miss the content because the entire thing is a straight shot to the end where they hit you with a "to be continued." While the art is superb the VN has no depth to it and with no other games under their belt it's hard to tell if they'll follow through with their promise or potentially just burn out immediately like a lot of new developers do.

So it's just a first chapter of the whole thing?
Well, what to say about it if not....again, again, again, again, again, again,again, again, again?
Seriously, futa fun drawn in Disney stile?
It is not just something REALLY beyond even the most perverted thing one can imagine?

The game has potential. The completed tag makes no sense however since it is fairily clear that its still in deveopment. Taking that into account I'll rate what I'm seeing NOW. The art is gorgeous and a refreshment from the usual characters you see rehashed and reemade in most games on the site. I hope that the devs don't abandon this one.

So, first off, I know. Three stars? Doesn't it deserve way more than that? The reviews are raving! People are loving it, and the art is fire! Absolutely, but I'm honestly leaving this review to temper expectations for people who do what I did: Download what appeared to be a fully game and get ambushed by what is essentially something still in early access.

When all is said and done, you'll probably be finished with this in half an hour, depending on your reading speed. It gives you the impression you'll be meeting multiple girls and have the romance *you* want during this hard time at Sequoia State Park... in reality, not so much. You're cornholed into the only available interest, and the game wraps up and kicks you back to the main menu after a nice little H scene.

It has all the right ingredients. The art is wonderful. The dialogue is fine. I found myself wanting to know more about the other characters and play around with the different choices, but right now, it's all an illusion. It doesn't really matter what you say, the only thing that actually makes a difference is which path you take through the H scene and the attitude your character will have.

I easily would have given this a higher rating had it actually been a finished product, but it seems kind of slimy to advertise a 30 minute Visual Novel about romancing multiple ladies when in reality, it's simply a short romp without any meaningful choices with the rest of the game being "DLC at a later date".

But you obviously don't give a shit about the morals behind their business decision if you're here, do you? Go crank if you want to, champ.

Hot damn this game is off to a fantastic start

The Art and dialogue is on point,
Only one sex scene right now, but it has multiple 'paths' with varied sexual acts and a dom or sub route.
All the game needs is more content delivered in a timely, consistent manner

Now stop reading and start playing

This is actually pretty fire. All the choices make you think about what other scenes you could get and their outcomes. Plus the art is top notch and dialogue is pretty immersive and sexy. 5 star from me

Good start. Great art and writing, progression feels natural, and I like amount of different options for the one sex scene.

It's a really short game right now, maybe 30 minutes to 1 hour of gameplay.
