Summary: Review for v0.1 (15th January, 2025).
This is an AI slop fiesta through and through, there's weird poses, weird close up shots for no reason, there's weird human things in the backgrounds, ok! But is the writing good? It's a harem fuck fiesta, ofcourse it's not good. 0.5 out of 5. Maybe if you are really really into exhibitionism and can completely go vegetable brain mode there's something here for you.

Alright,

Let's get into this.

After playing the games this game is trying to imitate, I feel a bit let down. There is barely any story to delve into, it's just pretty generic smut. I feel like way too many characters got introduced right at the get-go. There's barely any relationship building and instead you have a shy MC who suddenly gets down and dirty with LI's. No buildup and it seems like there's no point in building out a story. If this is the direction the game is heading into, it would've been better to make it 1 chapter and call it completed.

Too many mistakes in the art. I know AI is a tool to generate images, but c'mon man, spend some time doing quality control on the images. You just generate shit and put it in the game. No custom scene creation, just prompt and paste... It's games like this that bring a bad reputation on the entire AI genre of games.

I'm not even gonna talk about the girl with the tattoos, who seem to swap places and become completely random every render + her outfit also swaps every render... like c'mon...

I think the dev jumped into creating a game a bit too soon with seeing some of the success of the others. Also the AI art style seems very bland, it's too smooth, barely any shading or stylization which just makes it look bad.

I hope it improves and the dev learns from this, but I am not hopeful.

I don’t really rate new releases 1 star, but i just don’t see anything salvageable here if dev doesn’t create the game from scratch.

I am not going to talk much about AI art and NTS genre, most know how inflated the market is right now. It can still be interesting as long as you create something unique. But this game is as bland as it gets.

Visual: Incredibly inconsistent. Like there is a scene where a girl wearing a necklace and the necklace changes shape in every single picture. Sometimes it disappears, sometimes it is there again. Backgrounds disolve and appear out of thin air. Sometimes there is no background. 6 fingers problem, inconsistent faces. There was literally zero time spent with editing. Dev simply copy pasted images directly from ai.

Story: For the initial release there is plenty to read, but story moves even faster. Before building any type of relationships MC is having sex with LIs. Dev introduces almost 10 characters and expects to build the story and characters in approximately 20-30 minutes.


I just don’t see this game going anywhere. Even if dev edits renders from the beginning (Which should take a really long time since they need a lot of work), the story needs shifts too since things don’t make much sense because everything is happening too fast.
