[ Review for version 0.9 ]
TL;DR: HornyCraft is the logical conclusion of a generation growing up playing Minecraft; the kids have grown up, and they wanna fuck the mobs!
The Good:
The art style is very cute, and I think it suits most people's tastes with only a couple of exceptions. Most of the character dialogue is either funny or cute, but with a few notable exceptions (see the Bad). The bright colour palette, and the straight up ripping of Minecraft assets does make this look like it could have been a near-official Minecraft spin-off... if it wasn't for the sex.
The Average:
It's a point and click game which, while competent, is not very engaging. The feedback for what you need to do to progress is lacking and very often you'll find yourself waiting for the next time slot to try an area again to see if you get new content. At least it's easy to get in to.
The story of the game is very much relegated to many mini-stories attached to each love interest. It makes it easy to follow along if you're focusing down one character at the time, but once you've exhausted each LI's path there is literally nothing for you to do.
The Bad:
I really detest how the game handles Alex. I get she's supposed to be portrayed as being mean, but the MC veers straight into 'correctional rape' mentality the moment she's even a little rude. And Alex having a sex life outside of the MC is seen as an insult that needs to be take advantage of. The scenes where she is raped doesn't help either. Generally it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth, and I don't understand it's forced inclusion since other characters are actually handled well.
The side-quests (or main quests?) of each character usually boil down to 'collect resource', and since the resource gathering system is tedious, progressing each character feels like a lot of effort for a small pay-off.
Wishlist:
> The game needs an overarching narrative, something to do that isn't directly tied to trying to fuck one of the LI's. Right now it keeps running into dead ends where everywhere you go leads to a "work in progress" screen leaving players nothing to do that matters.
> The upgrade system is clunky, and resource gathering is arbitrarily mismatched meaning gathering each resource is always off synch.
> Acquiring resources is so tedious (especially looking at you, wood chopping), and basically it's all mini games, which brings us to...
> Many of the mini games boil now to 'click very fast' or 'click the correct spaces very fast'. It really breaks the flow of the game, and doesn't feel like it meaningfully adds to the experience. Consider revising, or removing them.
> Revisit how Alex is handled. Being shoehorned into some punisher mode against her feels really off-putting, especially since there are scenes where MC and Alex have a good relationship.
> While the Creeper and the Endergirl are interesting interpretations of a waifu version of the original creatures, they do look too creepy to be sexy, which makes their sex scenes not as nice to watch.
