Version Played: v0.1.1d
Time Played: 8+ hours, probably did not see all the content since the game is piss poor about letting you know that
Gallery Mode: Planned, but not currently implemented
Walkthrough: Mild hints that aren't all that helpful
Argh. This might be most frustrating game I've played on here. While the setup, story and characters are all well done, the slow moving text and scene grinding are some of the worst I've experienced.
Setting-wise you're a fat loser with a victim complex who finds a way to get holodecked into a fantasy world. While you retain your unpleasant looks, you become an incubus and get women to lust for you, becoming your thralls. These powers extend to the real world as well.
Positives
+ Setting change between the real world and fantasy world is genuinely awesome. I really loved seeing what was going on in the fantasy world then having that balanced against the mundane real world.
+ YMMV, but I generally enjoy the look of the LIs. Options are currently mainly curvy, but a couple more petite ones as well. (Youngest sister's wrinkles make her look the oldest though.)
+ Still very early on, but there are fantasy creatures as well like gnomes and a deer-girl thing and it's all pretty hot
+ Sharing!!!!!
Neutral
= The whole incel-y thing is very take it or leave it as is the lack of the dude's hygiene that gets constantly called out. It's honestly gross, but it might be some people's kink, so you do you.
To talk a bit more to this, MC is a fat, lazy, slob of his own volition. He seems to think that no one likes him, but in just about every instance, his family seems to genuinely care about him and his well-being, wanting what's best for him -- even before he gets his incubus powers. I'm not entirely convinced that this isn't actually subtle commentary on the incel mindset itself.
Negatives
- Grindy.as.hell.
- Slow-moving text making the grind even worse
- No text rollback
- Poor in-game hint system and method of knowing what content you've seen
- Content given buttons, but when clicked says "Not implemented yet." Then just don't put it in, please.
- Not a lot of sexual content especially weighed against the grind to see it.
- Far more content in the "real world" than the fantasy one at the moment
So, the bad news is pretty damned bad, BUT the upshot is that all of this is fixable.
The lack of content is forgivable since that will take care of itself with updates, but the other issues are glaring and greatly take away the enjoyment from playing the game.
I genuinely like so much about this game and the fantasy stuff is very engaging and enjoyable, but this game is extremely hard to recommend at the moment.
I will happily update with a higher score in the future if these issues are addressed.
Note to devs: I think there is really something special here, but please respect your players' time more! Reduce the grind. Make text scroll and be skipped more quickly. Put in clear goals for scenes and how they can be reached. Don't tease with prompts for content that isn't implemented yet.
