There's something very uncanny about the girls in this vn. Hire an animator or something. The lack of faciel expressions, stiff movement, and really detailed skin graphics really hinder the experience.

OK, maybe I'm feeding a troll (as pointed out by Duckie), but:
1) Lack of facial expressions? Are we playing the same game here? No, admittedly they don't change all that much during the
static images (duh!), but have you made it to a T-shirt contest yet? These girls definitely can have some expressions...
2) Stiff Movement - OK, I'll admit, the animations aren't ToN quality, but this is ONE guy doing the whole project; not eight dudes with a rendering farm. And even then, you can see how they've gotten better over time.
3) Detailed skin graphics - A female that looks like a PERSON instead of a Westernized Hentai model. In my opinion, this is one of the things that truly brings this game UP a notch, not down.
The non-MC characters in this game are what DarkHound wants them to be: Women, not mere cartoons. Which for me (and probably others), is what MAKES the experience.
I'll probably get face-palmed by someone for the rant, but c'mon. A game that inspires pages of fan-fiction is bound to ignite our passion sometimes, right?
