    Okay, lets get the good points out of the way first since that's the shortest part:

    The renders could be worse. They aren't good, but I have seen a few worse out there.

    That ends every positive I could honestly say about this one. SO, now the bad:

    Everything else. And I really do mean everything. It's not just that the writing is childish, the characters boring, the plot uninspired, that there is absolutely no redeeming feature to any of the content other than that someone rendered a few DAZ models mostly in clothes and then surrounded them with bad writing and plot that lowered their meagre value. It's that there is no logic to the game design either.

    The closest way I can describe it is that it is like a game built by someone who has seen other games, and is attempting to copy them in a monkey-see, monkey-do manner, but who completely failed to actually understand what made a game entertaining or enjoyable.

    It's like seeing someone having done a paint by numbers picture, but they were dyslexic and so misread the numbers, and lacked the wit to notice the colours didn't go...

    Normally, you'd perhaps say to yourself, well, it's hard to get it right first time, but this particular dev has had multiple previous attempts, all of which he abandoned, apparently in the very mistaken belief that THIS would be a better project.

    To end on the most constructive note I possibly can, I'd really suggest this dev try to work with others first, join a successful team out there and learn the craft of game design, or at least story telling. It will be a lot faster that way than just failing again and again at things he's not yet equipped to do alone.

    ok.. simple, honest and not exceptional review here...
    MC is a kid (litteraly), but... he have his own car o_O and a dick bigger than a 30 years experimented porn actor under overdose of viagra...

    seriously.. would it hurt to made actual render ? i mean...
    "MC is on his car ( but appear standing still ) another car come with a girl in it , blablabla.... girl in car talk to you (but she also appear standing still while sit on her car).
    like..seriously ? with this quality or renders, it should be not that hard to render a char into a god damn car instead of justsome standing chars sprites -_-

    background always artistically (on drugs) disformed. i personnaly find this non attractive at all. i would rather prefer an royalty free picture or an rendered background, instead of a modifyed blurry-artistic-Picasso'ed background


    MC watch maid ass... "wow ! blablabla..." ... other girl try to look maid ass , MC react "wow what a pervert !" (oh come on -_- wtf is this dumb MC ?)


    when.. oooooh when Slonique will allow backroll ??? no backroll in this game, you warned.

    MY NAME IS NOT "YOU" !!! can Slonique allow customize the name ? or at least give MC a damn name instead of "YOU" -_-
    "i m Jason..." but still named "YOU" on dialogs...

    that good and bad system is... honestly weird (for the best word i can use), not even sure if we can actually use it yet as i got a total of 4 points and game ask for 5 .


    aaaaaaaaaaaand... finished.

    that was.. very short.

    i recommend you to check this game as it is for now, ONLY if you are curious or you have too much free time (wich it will take like 5 minutes of it to get completed)
    not much tod o, in fact, nothing to do. its basically just the introduction of the different chars.

    sexual content is.. extremly low. (you have to chosoe the good things, and maybe get a blowjob and some peek-a-boob. keep in mind that they are NO backroll.. soo good luck.)

    i dont know if its lazyness or something, but it wont cost days to actually make characters to use various expression , at the limit. and maybe use different poses.
    but as most of stuff in this game is exactly the same as another game from Slonique, i tend to think its lazyness.

    i want to say... again, another waste of time and talent creating something ridiculous, while in same time it would have been better to grow an already existing game.
    but well... dev's decision.

    as it is for now, i give it 2 stars.
    its not THAT bad. but its nothing more than the teasing of an deja vu game with few to none interest or something that would make you want to check later what's new. its not attractive at all honestly.


    same chars, same name, same style, same stuff.... same Slonique.
