For some reason I've been enjoying the "magic sex demon" stories more recently, think I've just been lucky finding the better ones. This one is definitely an 8/10* atm. [EDIT at bottom]
+ visually great. The lighting, the angles, the models, the posing, all great. Very little I have to complain about. Every model also stands out, all looking sexy in their own way.
+ another boon is the fact that on several occasions, the player can choose the pubic hair of the romance options. This is a VERY rare creative decision, and I absolutely commend the dev for it.
- the ONE complaint I have is that for Alex, you can choose the genitals she has, and the penis option definitely seems like it doesn't match the model. I imagine it's due to the size, which doesn't match the rest of the body at all. It also lacks the ability to change the pube choice, unlike with a vagina. It feels very tacked on.
+ the diversity of romance options (even if not actually romance-able currently) is great. I know some people don't like the older models, but there addition is nothing but a boon for the AVN. Stories that pretend that older women wanting to have sex is impossible, or not allowing the player to have the choice, is always the lazier option. Diversity of choice is always a plus.
/ the story is...fine? I mean it's not really important, but in the AVN atm it is purely to push the story. The decision to delay the explanation isn't really worth the build up, as at the moment it's completely unnecessary. Currently the mystery isn't significant enough to keep me interested in it, so long as the romance-able characters and sex scenes keep going, the story is entirely to just move things along.
/ the dialogue is also a mixed bag. The characters are almost automatically in love with you, and so the majority of their dialogue is solely about wanting to fuck you. That's all well and good, but when it's half a dozen characters basically saying and thinking the same thing, it can be annoying. It also means all of the individual characteristics they CLEARLY have, are essentially only apparent when they're talking to someone else other than the MC, which is a rare occurrence. They are also prone to repetition.
- after introducing all these attractive characters in the prologue, the dev decides to spend what must be decent chunk of their time on totally unnecessary scenes with external characters. When you choose to introduce a dozen possible love interests, it'd be prudent to ensure you're actually spending time fleshing them out, and not on random fucking people. I don't have to know that some orc-looking mobster can't get his dick hard. I think it would benefit the dev to focus on making this SOLELY from Jason's/MC's perspective. Have us learn through his eyes. If you want to do an inner monologue for when we're with other characters, sure, but the work required to do these extra scenes that could go into the main LIs essentially makes them worthless.
- in several instances there are just...unnecessary delays? You can't skip or manually go through the montage scenes, and instead have to sit as they slowly move by. It's a small thing, but I can imagine it piling it up more.
- you can choose not to have love interests interact with other characters, but that isn't the case at all currently, and I'm confused why that's the case. I THINK that may be cancelled out when you pick 'bisexual', but that would be an utterly ridiculous choice. Really the only interaction between two love interests that is relevant is the sister and her gf. Everything else is a deliberate choice, which feels weird when you SPECIFICALLY ask if we want to see that content?
EDIT: I was so tempted to lower the score after the v0.9.2 update. The whole Christmas edit was not only unnecessary and is yet another totally unnecessary addition, but this time it almost feels like it just entirely weakens the entire world-building aspect, and even then it wasn't particularly strong to begin with. The idea that It's revealed the women in the family have vague "magic Christmas powers", you find Santa Clause after (it is heavily implied) he fucked your mum, find out he's your dad, and then your supposed protector shown in the previous updates had sex with your sister is one of the most utterly moronic changes I have seen to a story in a while. Not only that, but the update was clearly rushed, as it is visually weaker than the rest of the product too. It's currently a 7/10, which technically gives it still the 3.5/5, but I can't do halves so I'm doing 3/5.
EDIT [v0.11.1]:
Good lord, there's basically no content STILL. I've left this for basically a YEAR, and the majority of content added between has been just YAPPING. Tons and tons of meaningless dribble, adding next to nothing to the actual story. Not only that, but there is just an obscene amount of repetition, for NO REASON (although, it's likely to try and hide how little they've actually done).
How people are giving this 5-stars is just ridiculous cope and astoundingly ridiculous.
