Stumbled across this game a couple of days ago when I saw the update. I've played it over the weekend and first want to say how impressed I am by what's been done so far. There are many things to like about the design, not the least of which is its complexity. Most VNs have an intellectual level of somewhere near the basement, but in this game you get to read about economic, AI, and psy-social constructs and theory. Overall, I would highly recommend the game! That said, here a few other observations:
- It's 'clothes' not 'cloths'
- 'gently' not 'gentally'
- 'ecstasy' not 'extacy'
- 'losing' not 'loosing'
- There are others, but those were the most frequent.
- You've set up an ideal voyeur network and as that's something I'm quite fond of personally, I'd like to see it utilized more. An occasional, random video of random people doing random things would be nice. Using the cameras only when needed for a quest event seems a waste. Having extraneous videos occasionally play would help ease some of the monotony.
- And on the topic of voyeurism, the invisible suit and lock-picking is also underutilized. There's a ton of great sneakiness to be had with these items. Please don't use them only for quest progression.
- The grind for money is not bad and I am surprised that some have complained so loudly. In a few hours of play I have amassed over $4mil and that's with purchasing everything in the store (including the invisible suit). Furthermore, I don't have a cheat mod installed and have not edited a save file. One just needs to put a lot of time in working early on (stay up late and work on the computer...sleep is overrated) and get those work promotions in a hurry. This game is not set up to penalize the relationships based on neglect (ie, lack of time spent with each woman), so no need to worry if someone is going to walk. Just put the work in early.
- For the love of peaches and all that is holy, get rid of those nasty glasses that Bailey wears. No woman in her right mind would every wear those.
- Phone calls from Alice are bugged and can occur in a loop. I can receive numerous calls from her in a row and each one replays the initial visit. If I see her on a random visit, however, her story advances.
- To each his or her own, of course, but I found the progression of Angela and Olivia to be missing eroticism. The MC keeps wanting to interject himself into their budding relationship and it's just plain jarring and not believable (well, unless the guy is a nitwit which in this case shouldn't be).
- The MC's progression with Grace is bizarre and mostly illogical. The MC can spend the night with her in her and her husband's bed only while he (the husband) is there? Ok, if Byron is 'cucking' the husband then he (Byron) would be there when the husband wasn't there (ie, cheating wife). If the husband is sharing Grace with the MC, then the MC could stay while the husband was in the house. Those scenarios are reasonable behavior, unlike the current story which has no mention of an arrangement between the husband and Byron.
Those are just a few things that come to mind and I realize they may have been discussed
ad nauseam, but I'm not going to read through hundreds of posts to find out.
Regardless, I commend the author(s) for the effort and uniqueness of this game. Keep up the good work.
