VN - Ren'Py - Hyperphallic [Ep.1] [Umbrelloid]

I pretty much agree with gringosafado's
take.
Impression after playing EP1:

1. I second that it's called hyperphallic for a reason. That combined with aspects of romance fit some personal niche's.
2. My thoughts are that it's more focused on a romance plot between the MC & Noah, which was a pleasant change.

Currently I rated it 5 stars as the artwork, storyline, and writing level easily deserves it. The romance aspect of the characters' were spot on for what I was hoping for. There are some flushed out games with a more complete final package, but the key word is `final package`. For the initial release I was teetering between 4 & 5 stars, but with the hints at where the game is headed tied with it being only an initial release I feel bids well for the project.

It is called hyperphallic for a reason. So you have to expect unrealistic big schlongs.

It is more of a visiual romance, as so far decisions don't seem to have an impact.
I am giving this 5 stars as a fan of the artists and as the characters' interactions hit some sweet notes for me. But I have to say that there are games with better writing. But not enough to drop my personal rating by one star.
