Here with another preview for a really good game. This one obviously. I really hope this game doesn't get stuck in version hell/purgatory, I need more.

I was debating if I should do a Review for this game cause damn there's actually enough here to keep you playing for days. Yet again this is another Ren'py game that actually feels like a game and not just a visual novel. This game has a skill tree in it for fuck sake's, I've never seen that in these porn games, SMART. The skill tree alone makes you want to actually play this game and not just read a walkthrough. I want to unlock everything now and get all the perks you get by doing so. This feels like another legit game, fucking bravo dude.
Although, it would have been helpful to include a tutorial in the beginning cause no joke, I was lost and confused. Could be cause I was knee deep in other games or high on so much caffeine that I couldn't focus but yeah, rough start in my opinion. Nothing was happening, I was just going to work in the game (which I find boring) having the same conversations with my coworkers (which i will tolerate) and then going home by clicking on the stupid fast travel icons. (which i absolutely hate and that mechanic needs to go the fuck away!) But you know what, I stuck with it and figured it out and holy fuck, this developer

is trying to make a freaking Farcry style game here. Like what the fuck!?
The only thing he's missing is the fog of war overview map and towers to climb up to reveal more of the world. He might be going for that to be honest considering the world map is so huge and he only put a handful of locations to visit. I think Smokeydots should make the main character climb to the top of the company and then be let go for sexual harassment. Hell you're pretty much groping every girl you work with in the game (which is awesome!) So that should ultimately be the reason why he needs to find a new office tower to climb, more towers, more girls. Really good concept here.
This game has huge potential, if he redesigned the world map and made it his own somehow I think he could have a real hit here. I'm not a fan of using google map images and then just putting location icons on it. Not unless your redesign it and make it fit within the game world that is. He already redesigned the Main Menu and the text backgrounds, which I love, great job on that. Plus the girls he made look freaking incredible! He knows just the right angles to show them off at. Yeah, scrap the fast travel icons, fuck i hate those. Make the top down world map like Farcry's and have areas you need to reveal (more office towers you could work at) and keep up the good work.
The dialogue mechanic is really smart too, although he does use the "lesson of passion" game design approach for his chat system. You know, the one where you have to talk about sports, shopping, money, so on and so forth and if you choose the right topic the girl will like you. Kinda like real life in a way, lol, I'm okay with this mechanic for now but I feel it could be better. I love the Physical interaction option, huge potential for that one. All in all the way you interact with people in the game is pretty good. You need to have higher stats in certain areas to unlock "things" to do with characters but that's where the fun comes in. It's like an RPG, actually it's exactly like an RPG. Oh he's totally making a Farcry inspired game here. Good pick.
I seriously could write a review for this version of the game right now but I would like to see what he does with later versions. I hope he finishes this game and doesn't abandon it, I notice that large ambitious games get abandoned and/or are just left in version hell/purgatory. This game is most definitely a game you want to check out and keep an eye on as well. It will take awhile to get the hang of, what the hell is going on in the game but when you do, wow, Ubisoft developer here folks. Play this game, stick with this game, I think it will be something special and sexual harassment at the workplace is a great game element for porn games.
I definitely recommend you try this game.
