(Review of 0.26 alpha)
I'm afraid visuals is the only positive here, and even then the composition of the scenes could be improved. The camera angles aren't the best and the characters look in random directions. They feel like bots pasted on a background, or bad actors saying whatever comes to mind because they forgot their lines. Detached from whatever you say, careless. The first conversation with your aunt is an example of these problems. As soon as your older cousin opens her mouth I want to leave the place and forget about the game entirely.
The story is so incoherent that by the time the barman at the beach left for his errand (about 15 mins of real time spent playing from the beginning) I decided I had enough. I mean, first I decide to listen to him ramble about aunt and the cousins, then the MC decides he won't tolerate him badmouthing them and then he thinks he wouldn't mind doing him a favor and become friends? Is the MC bipolar or WTF is going on?
Renders are scarce and plenty of dialogue and endless thinking go on while looking at the same static and uninteresting scene. Storytelling is truly bad, within minutes from the start the MC sounds and thinks as a potential rapist, living only to perv on any female nearby. No character upto the aforementioned beach scene is believable or even likable (for example, aunt's thoughts ruin the character for me right from the start) so I really have zero interest into what happens next, I sincerely suggest to abandon the project and start from scratch because nothing here is done right.
