Art and general presentation is good, but the writing and characterization really fell hard, in my opinion. And that's what ultimately kills it all for me.
To me, I genuinely felt like the script was written by an incel. And I don't say that just to throw shade or exaggerate or whatever. It honestly felt like the person behind the words genuinely hates women and just sees them all as bitches and sex objects. Which, yeah, we're on a porn site, playing porn games, most of which debase women and treat them like sex objects. But this is the first time I've ever felt like it came from genuine thoughts and feelings instead of just being a fantasy or fetish or whatever. I mean, I hope I'm wrong, of course, and the writer is just genuinely talented in tapping into a different way of thinking, like how an actor might convincingly portray a racist character in a movie or something. Either way, it was just very off putting to me.
Every female character is a bitch in some way or another. Usually they're just outright hostile and mean to you or others. Other times it's because they're easily swayed by a big cock and betray the guys that love them. Almost every one of them seem to have an enflated ego and look down on others. And never do they seem to care about it or self reflect or have any real self awareness about how awful they are. Always they are ultimately shown as just being stupid dick hungry cocksleeves.
The only somewhat decent women were the shy milf that hangs around the town square and is waiting for her soldier husband to come home, and, ironically, the fighter woman in your party who the game tries to go out of its way to paint as the biggest bitch around. Ironically, I found her to be one of the only tolerable characters since she barely talks to you and isn't just spouting bitchy vitriol or encapsulating an incel's perception of what a woman acts like. Then again, I couldn't bring myself to keep playing the game long enough to get to her "training" sessions, where I assume the bulk of her characterization lies, so maybe she really is the worst of them all, idk.
I know it's a corruption game. I know the world is supposed to be dark and gritty. But the game overall just felt so fucking toxic and draining to me. Every character was a self serving asshole. There's no real light or positivity anywhere. Even just reading the dialogue was like wading through the scummiest forums of the internet. Clearly, a lot of people here are fine with all of that, and I truly am glad that they like this game. I just could not get into it.
Unless you're okay with constant darkness and negativity and characters who are all constantly assholes and just an overall constantly draining vibe, maybe stay away from this game.
