Review of v0.3
OVERALL HOTNESS/EROTICISM: 9.7/10
SOUND 8.5/10 - music adds to the experience without being distracting and fits the style/mood of the game. kinda like a relaxed cool jazz version of porn music. SFX are sexy and add to the experience also
ANIMATIONS 7.8/10 - they're decent and add to the experience, nothing distracting or especially bad
OUTFITS 8.5/10 - this is a nice detail and adds to the immersion. most of the fabric looks really good too except the yoga pants which doesn't look attractive and also looks poor render quality (maybe doing a solid colour and just doing a yoga pants texture would be better) and some of the tank tops on amelie have this common immersion break where the cloth meets inbetween her breasts and crash thru each other
DESIGNS 9/10 - designs of the girls are fantastic overall and very attractive. if you like really satisfyingly large breasts that look really good, the look is really nailed with the design of amelia. mia/lauren could be improved while still not outshine the main cast and fit their niche imo. they look more like they belong in a different game as is. think mia could be more attractive while still be alternative/punk-ish and lauren could also be more like a slightly chunkier sofia vergara or something too. the designs of the main cast are all fantastic. the biggest critique i'd have is the haircut on stephanie looks pretty bad, like an accident or like she got gum in her hair and had to chop it off abruptly. if she's going to have short hair, maybe at least more like natalie portman in that stripper role she did or something, like sleek/simple short hair but something that looks like it's an intentional haircut
OVERALL WRITING 8.8/10
-SCENE CONCEPTS/SETUP/STORY 9/10 really good, feels inspired and erotic, the direction seems really deliberate and how characters are moved in the story works well. the only critique i have here is while i seem to get why the content/character rotation is so frequent, it seems a touch too frequent even if it's the intention. i wouldn't mind some longer stretches of developing a particular character's progression for awhile. it doesn't have to be a complete direction shift in the game, just maybe an arc or two in the game where we stay with one character for a few scenes, like a chapter consisting of like 55% amelia, maybe with an interluding scene with kylee that'd be 5% of the chapter and then another 20% with kylee and last 20% with stephanie for an example.
-CHARACTERS 9.8/10 each character feels like she has a distinct identity and their character profiles add to the eroticism
-DIALOGUE 6.5/10 the substance of the dialogue itself is almost always really good but the details are sometimes lackluster. there's some typos and funny grammar sometimes. i'd also like to say there are so many other games where the MC is such a flaming douchebag or so ridiculously pornographic, it's actually either not good or breaks immersion. this game is far better than most in that regard but still sometimes has a moment here and there i think could be better like the kissing amelie scene where the MC says "i plan on doing it a lot more", i think would be better as something like "i like being close to you" responded with "i like it very much too", or the scene where the MC tells amelie she's sexy and she says "sexy?" and he responds with "yea that's what i said". it breaks immersion imo to say something that feels more like he's trying to court or seduce her like a regular date. instead i think something like "sexy? i'm too old for anyone to find me sexy" responded with "but you are" doesn't break immersion as much.
FINAL NOTES: this is really the ideal of how to do the erotic VN format. the bells and whistles of the music, SFX and animated content scenes really go a long way even though it's not nearly as CPU intensive to run or develop as a fully animated game like paralogue. an important point about this game, it feels inspired. it feels like some horny teenager's fantasy and even though it's a VN, it's really up there with Lust Epidemic in terms of it feeling inspired. kinda a slow burn but seems like it's paced okay. look forward to it picking up steam and future updates.
