Wow, amazing! The plot is just brilliant, the art is divine, and the game mechanics? Well, what can I say... they're a dream (especially the potion brewing)! And all this achieved in a measly six months? Seriously impressive.
Okay, seriously now: The plot is better than the first version before rewrites, and maybe even better than the second rewrite. But, the new scenes are packed with secondary characters who are downright awful. And they still can't even bring back the old scenes properly! I don't even want to start talking about the new scenes with the main characters. because, except for the "holiday" stories, which didn't even have proper decorations, there were none.
Over the past 5 years, progress with the main characters has actually regressed – we've gone from minimal erotic content to virtually none. And let's be clear: re-adding old scenes with minor tweaks does not count as 'new' work.
The new mechanics are a horror show. Brewing a potion takes dozens of pointless actions... for what? Nothing! It's purely a time-waster. This whole event, along with the 'continue from old save' feature, belongs in the same dumpster fire. Remember the x-ray clothing mechanic? They removed it ages ago and it still doesn't work, not even with cheats enabled!
So, to sum up: The new story is genuinely good. But this is supposed to be an adult game, right? Yet there's been zero artistic progress in years – just a bunch of lame new characters. We waited half a year between versions, and the result is... nothing. They haven't even added the features they promised. What on earth are they spending all that time on?
Frankly, I'd love to meet the Patreon backers still funding this. Maybe they'd give me their money? Just for existing? Or maybe for stopping them from wasting it on this blatant scam?
I'll be back in about 5 years, although judging by the current timeline, only 0.14a will be released with promises of 0.20b and descriptions of the cool art, stories, and mechanics they've created. However, there won't be anything new in this 0.14a version...
