Only problem here is that this game is not a VN, this is a full fledge porn game, with little porn content AND a LOT of minigames. The art is really, like really great, all people get sell by the art, but once u try the game is not what u expect it to be.
The game mechanics, the hard and LONG the game is without any reward (sex scene), the need for a walktrough (yes, step by step for people who come here beliving this was a VN, not the 'guide' this game have) make this game one that i don´t want to replay never again.
I feel kind of robbed of my time, so much potential, pretty much the game could have end up better with more use of SEX and less minigames. For fuck sake this game have like 3 years in development (or at least it start around that time, how many time it have being in onhold, idk) and we still don't have a sex scene with the 'main girls'.
Just hope for the author to actually reward the players or advance the story, because all the the story up to this point feel like a very big filler, not even Naruto...
The thing about the guide is that he is basically useless. It tells you what you HAVE to do but it won't tell you HOW TO DO ANYTHING! Which negates the purpose of a guide almost completely.
A way better approach would be a guide who tells you what to do when. And for all the minigames an option to get the right answer or cheat it whenever you want to. Which not only would make the progress by every playtrough (saves aren't fixable for new versions) way faster and rewarding.
Since i dont know if that is even possible it remains to be seen if the next update has a competent guide and the right answers for anything. While you mentioned that the game is still not rewarding after 3 years i share my points which drove me almost fucking made playing through this update.
1. When which girl has to wear what swimsuit and how to influence it. Way to complicated, way to annoying, way to time consuming.
2. guessing the right stuff in Susans "Bakers Delight" which is also based on way to many variables for me or anyone to actually care. We want to see tits not guess ingredients of the fucking cake which most of the time have nothing to do with how the cake even looks.
3. Lunas Dream Answers. God i hated this shit. Which number is for xyz IMVOIS (insert fucked up topic here) and the amount of save before and load again once you get it wrong is beyond countable.
4. Guess which underwear daphne is wearing. When ur X Ray vision is not usable on a daily basis and the picture in your room repeats "What daphne does when wearing yellow underwear" 3 times in a row, you know you are in for alot of furstrating grinding again.
To just name a fewbut the list goes on. The matter of fact is i dont know anyone who wants to sit in a Sex game and has to actually write down clues to actually get anywhere. Thats maybe needed in some puzzle or other games like L.A. Noire but not in a sex game. Its annoying, time consuming and borderline boring as hell.
You have to repeat so many events you cant skip or you miss the clues entirely and are stuck to actually watch them all over again and write down alot of stuff to get progress done.
To get rid of all complaints who are mentioned around this the devs would have to come up with either a better guide (which is almost impossible cause they would need to add alot of text and make ppl even more confused and mad) or a more simpler solution give us the option to cheat in basically every of those events to our liking.
I think especially the cheating or a star on the right answer (as it happens now when u guess wrong to many times) being present from the start should help both the devs and the players to actually get rid of this problem all together.
