" Expect dark humor, NSFW animated scenes with sound, twisted nostalgia"
So you barely get any of these, or rather you don't get enough of any of these elements to justify marketing such in this demo. The bulk of the demo is set in the "modern" era where you are left as the bouncer of a brothel, with only really two scenes once you're meant to hit the hook of the game. If you like having rules set for you, being majorly railroaded, and an excessive amount of ai components- this might be the demo for you. Otherwise, steer clear for a while. I don't particularly mind the design itself, I could see it potentially working if there was more content and more thrilling "animated" sex scenes. But that's about it. It's a real love or loathe for the style hence me not being particularly argumentative in favour of it. it's kinda a shame too, because that animated gif sets you up for a totally different experience (because ((in my belief)) it's an ai recreation of a live action gif) in which you'd be stunned by the sex scenes achieved in Ren'Py, but that's not the case. Rather, it's just the bog-standard powerpoint+audio match up. I'm also not personally in favour of how the ai was used in this project, but that seems to be the current state of several games trying to go with a 2d style now; so, I can't particularly fault them for that.
Once again, however, this seems to be another ai slop demo pushed out without much gameplay before anything was properly implemented; in effort to bleed money out of potential patreon supporters for what will probably end up being a middling product. (Mediocre writing included in the packaging!) ((If the creator isn't a native english speaker I'd suggest getting someone who is native on the team to be a writer or translator. maybe also a LOT more QA before shipping out a genuinely disheartening demo))
I just wish there were more passion in this demo because it comes off as something antithetical to a passion in game design (and porn somehow?). Like I truly see a world where this was the product of someone's passion product and by the end you'd be excited for the full release- I just don't think we happen to be in that world. For these reasons (as well as my personal opinion that it was just sorta boring) that I'm giving it a 2/5. maybe i'll accidentally stumble upon this again after the full release an reassess the project, but until then I wouldn't really recommend it.
I'm just hoping for some better stuff in the future with this.
