Now, this is a properly done introduction! There are far too many 0.1's that are just 10 minutes of gameplay, but this one spends time introducing you to the world and the characters in it. This feels like the beginning of a good story, not just a story starting and we will see where it goes. The dev clearly has something in mind.
The story: there actually is one. There are more than enough games on this site that just bumble around and use sex as the only driving factor of the whole game. Not this one. Clear goals are set up in the beginning of the game that will set the tone for the whole story, and it seems you have a say in it. The premise is wholly cliche and tropey, but there is a reason the "chosen one" story type is so successful: it's easy to imagine yourself in those shoes. If our hero is an ordinary person, why can't I also be a hero? Stories don't have to be complicated to be good, even the mundane can become interesting if presented the right way. Also, so far I have to commend the dev for actually calling the mom a mom and giving the MC and his mom a normal relationship.
The renders and models are part of that top tier with Philly games art style and others. The models look so nice. Normally I'd mention their skin resembling pumas stones or swiss cheese, but the skin texture here looks realistic without overdoing it. There is a good balance of male and female characters, I don't know if that will leave the door open for non-hetero relationships in the future, but it's nice that they aren't all women. There are small details like tattoos that really add to the overall look of each character. They also are written in a way that lets me know that their life went on before this games events, and they all have their own secrets to keep.
The MC looks like a man in his early twenties. He also seems to have a personality of his own with inner conflicts predating the game. He feels more robust than most MC's that we play in other games. I want to know him better, and moreover, I feel like I can relate to him. Also, he isn't unproportionately hung which is nice to see. It seems that you can control weather he is a total ass or not which adds some flavor. I hope to see that continued in the future.
The writing is good, but I don't think english is the devs (or writers) first language. Normally when this is the case it is really painful to read through, but the issues weren't that bad, just a few english intricacies here and there that I can't blame the dev for getting wrong. I get stuff wrong all the time and its my native language. I would suggest finding a native english speaker to go over the english script and clean it up though, that would go a long way in helping.
Everything about this game compels me. The banner art is grabbing, the title is good, not great, but certainly good. The characters feel like people not objects. The MC is relatable without being whiney. I could go on. It is just 0.1 and there is a lot of room for things to fall apart, but I can't wait for the next release of this game.
Give it a shot, you wont regret it.
