Visuals in the game are very-very-very good! Girls are ridiculously good looking! And they are different. Huge kudos for a fit Evangeline Lily, btw! Music is there and quite pleasant music it is. It's cool that more and more game developers pay attention to this aspect of the game. Wide range of fetishes - that is good too.
First impression of the writing is negative, and only closer to the end of chapter one it improves but still leaves a lot of questions.
Power crazed milf is ok, but when ppl adress her as "my mistress" with straight faces and she can use them like whores, that's sick and not exciting. I don't mind femdom at all just not with that obnoxious bat. Act professionally in the place of work ffs! Also the way Octavia is written just removes all the fun out of femdom. And how can I respect anyone who kneels in front of her at the snap of a fingers?
MC is a young good-looking guy with a nice physique, what the hell is he so depressed about? How could you NOT get into a college at all? Weird.
There is a chance to be an obnoxious and rude and in the situation I believe that's the right thing to do. But at the same time MC chats with the kidnapers like they are friends, hugs Cathy and all that.
I think if you are start "resisting", you resist to the end. So in cafeteria in ch 1, for example I want to be able to say something like: "You kidnapped me, threatened me with punishments and now you are trying to chat like we are friends? Hard pass"
How can you ever really trust Cathy? She is clearly a kneeling obedient tool, an agent and thus will do everything she may be ordered. Including getting close to me. How can I have any kind of normal relationships with her after a horrible start and lingering uncertainty? She likes me, but instead of real hard heart-to-heart-where-you-stand talk MC is just being forced to be nice to her and flirt. Or does she truly like me? Because there is a clear flirt tension between her and Chloe.
MC has 0 motivation to take part in the plot. Take trouble and waste efforts just because they are good people? Save the Earth? Naah... I hold all the cards and behave like a little friendly bitch? Naah...
His friends, ironically, has all the motivation to do it. I guess for all this friendliness to actually work, the dev should've created in MC a desire to go with agents strictly without this grab-him-moment. If he was a chosen one they should've buttered him up like a top college prospect from the start. But they didn't and the friendliness toward them became forced on the player. That is a major plot screw up. It is sad, because the characters seem nice and beautiful.
What i love is that by refusing some weird advances (shallow banging is not my thing) MC thinks like a normal decent human being with a healthy attitude to intimacy. That is amazing. Although it looks like noone truly there for the relationships and intimacy - either an i-dont-care-who-to-fuck weedhead or agents, you've no idea where you stand with. It looks like all of them are proud bi's. The game has quite rare fetishes, but a heterosexual girl is too much? Where are wholesome hetero girls? There is a trans there, but no straight girls?For a fap material - yay! For a serious relationships based on respect and trust - nay!
When Octavia offers me Liu and I refuse, it's not domination I refuse but her repulsive attitude to people. I don't need a girl, who will be "mine" because it's someone's order. Later on the balcony she offers me some BS about being a dom and I refuse again because I refuse dealing with that horrible creature, not being a dom. And I get all the dom content turned off. Same with other fetishes. And I still want the fetishes on, I just don't want to, for example, smell Cathy to keep the fetish on. Make some "Would you like to see ... content? Yes/No" pop-up - that will solve the situation.
Another plot weirdness - they say it's only 5 cities and 5 mln ppl, but they throw healthy young ppl who failed some idiotic agent exam over the wall? Way to increase the population.
Getting other ppl brought in to be the other one and onlys? And here I thought I was the chosen ONE. Still, i am sure three one and onlys are more than enough, no need for the milfs. So focus of the game slips from MC being the MC to MC being one of the three.
MC's mom inviting random hungover klepto ppl into the house? Seriously?
If a girl tries to hump a guy in a broom closet saying that all men want a single thing and gets rejected (rightfully), there will be tension between said girl and MC. Later the girl hits on him like nothing happened.
In the most megaelite Phoenix school most of the girls are just whores, whose crown achievment is sucking dicks for grades.
Correct the logic of the narrative, please.
The motivation to make an unwilling person to be willing to help must be found. So far it's not there at all. And without it the plot works only for the willing.
Now it's a beautiful game with fetishes and femdom and probably will be even more fappier and fetishier. But I am torn between the visual-musical appreciation and dissapointment of not being able to roleplay my character as an insolent stubborn SoB from the start and with any decent love interest.
It would be nice to keep the game out of nationalism and politics, btw. I am talking about the helicopter scene. That's enough of that crap going on and there are enough good people everywhere regardless of that.
I could DEFINITELY do with less Chloe spreading her advances on literally everything with a pulse. Even when a guy acts like that it looks gross, and with Chloe it's even worse. She's gone from a cool looking chick to an annoying raging nympho in heat and it's only the second chapter. At the beginning I was hating Octavia, at the end - Chloe. (BJ looks like a great friend though.) She is cracking jokes left and right, being a genius and hits on the girls who were supposed to swore off everyone after meeting the chosen one me. If I could get rid of her somehow, it would've been amazing. She is stealing the spotlight big time and as a character is a source of negative emotions and dissapointment. Being more disliked than Octavia - that is saying something.
Speaking of Chloe, it's very unpleasant to have NTR-ish scenes with her alone and between her and other girls. Especially the girls that later will be trying to seduce me. Come to think of it most conversations between chloe and other girls are provocative and suggestive. And the girls do nothing to stop it. "Listen, I am not interested in girls so stop it already" - would have looked amazing here.
So far I've not been enjoying the gameplay much apart from the renders and audio. The game suffers from initial conflict, zero monogamous straight romance options so far and most of all - Chloe... As a pure fap game it's great though.
