This one was almost painful to play. It starts off at like a 0 and you want to quit in the very first scene or two.
The mc is extremely unlikeable, he's the kind of nerd that gets picked on, but he's not intelligent, or even street smart. He's the slow neandrathal type. It doesn't help that he also has a haircut kind of like Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber. He also dresses like he's some rural bumpkin, which doesn't make much sense, given the setting and the fact that the people he lives with seem well off and they all dress well.
The writing, the dialogue and all the character interactions remind me of that movie Showgirls, like an alien who was trying to understand human behavior wrote it. It's one of those games where people describe boobs as 'cool.' There isn't any clever writing, no build up, no setup and payoff, it all just clumsily happens. There was a tiny flicker of hope for a bit, after the bad start. It felt like the game had rounded a corner and was going to start to build momentum and it'd end up like one of those 90s ugly duckling movies, but that didn't happen. The very next scene and the mc is back in full clown makeup.
Pros: female renders look good; animation is fairly smooth; game actually uses sound, which is always a nice bonus.
Cons: the writing, every written word, sentence, the thinking behind it. If there was a do not cringe challenge, you couldn't win, it's nonstop! Being a kinetic novel it's compounded in that you are setting sail on a stupid vessel and this game will make you feel very dumb for playing it. I didn't even make it to the 'superman' part that other people were complaining about before I had to tap out.
I wish I could say nicer things, but aside from the female models there isn't much here. It's a shallow take on a well trodden trope, devoid of charm, humor, or wit.
tl;dr If you're curious, download for the gallery. If you play the game, try not to cringe.
