This review is for V0.3.1
TLDR: Grindy AF, but fappable, but do not go into this looking for any significant plot points or meaningful interactions. It is a random porn clip generator buried underneath hours of grinding, nothing more.
Currently, the name of the game should be grinding simulator because that is 99% of the gameplay currently.
You grind for everything, literally everything, and it is not a quick grind and that is not helped by the fact that multiple buttons and interactions seem specifically geared to be inconvenient.
For example, I have accidentally wasted resources by hibernating for a month when I actually meant to go outside because even though you go outside far more often than you hibernate, for some reason hibernating is in the spot that your courser rests on after you interact with pretty much anything, making it the most likely button to be clicked purely because of repetition.
Sounds like a small issue, but when you are grinding away at the shop making many trips to and from the shop to slowly accumulate wealth by drinking coffee and then working at the shop (because you can't make decent money until you start working for the local gang) you get into the habit of leaving your courser in one spot because you can only interact with any item once per click, rather than the more logical choice of being able to just select how many times you want to drink coffee to regain energy.
That's just a little issue that goes a long way though.
The biggest issue of the game aside from the grinding is the fact that nothing in the game matters because you are immortal in the worst possible way.
At the beginning, you can't even cum more than once every two months...which is absolutely insane considering you are literally supposed to be a progenitor of chaos or some ridiculous plot stuff that takes way too long to get though thanks to timed screen interactions and you are literally sleeping for a month at a time in between possible interactions.
Logic of that nonsense aside, there's also the fact that you are "immortal" in both the worst and best of ways for the purpose of the game.
Clearly the desire of the game is to breed a bunch of women, and then after enough time has passed, you will then be able to breed your own daughters because they become interactable NPCs once they turn 18.
The problem is that the game does not have enough significant plot to make the gameplay interesting enough to last that insane amount of time and there is no way to use your demon magic to just rapidly age your daughters, which is a major failing for what the game is clearly going for because there are also no interactions with your children before they turn 18 in any way shape or form so it might as well not even exist as an aspect of the game currently.
Combine those issues with the fact that none of the NPCs actually matter in any way shape or form aside from being video galleries based on if they are a certain hair color, and you just get the most bland, repetitious experience that you can indeed fap to.
The fact that you can fap to this is honestly the only reason why it gets a 3 star rating instead of a 2.
My advice to the developer:
- Fix the UI layout so that it's more natural to click through the many repeated scenes without accidentally screwing yourself over by going to the next month while you are already full on resources.
- Make some actually significant NPCs that have dedicated and unique models to them rather than everyone sharing the same tags for a bunch of different video clips that have wildly different actresses
- Reduce the amount of grind since it currently takes hours of gameplay before you can finally get to a point of income that is balanced. I suggest adding some sort of business that the PC owns (specifically owns because it doesn't make sense any other way for someone to only work one day a month and still make a living)
- Get rid of the timer on each and every plot related event that prevents the player from scrolling through to the end and moving on, because that just severely bloats the runtime without providing anything meaningful.
- If it isn't already planned, add some sort of rapid aging spell or something that makes THAT aspect of the game more viable.
- I would also add an explanation as to why nobody ever notices or comments on the fact that they only ever see the PC once a month and why the police don't rush the PC to the ER when they notice that he literally enters a coma for a month at a time while in jail. It's kind of unrealistic for everyone to be acting so normally about a guy they apparently worship that they only see once a month and never say anything about it (or anything meaningful at all really).
Overall, it has potential to be a good game, but it needs some serious leg work to fix and improve upon itself.
