WOW. Not only the game but also all the comments here in this thread threw me in a
spiral that I did not expect. The first thing I saw was of course the mein picture, which
led me to expextations that may not be possible in a game, especially in this genre.
I read the reviews, about the Developer opening up his heart and soul, beeing stuck in
a threadmill, a passsed addiction and so on. Maybe this is what people see and feel,
playing the game. Maybe the major plot is a way of escaping these restrictions, falling
in a set with all the royalties that beeing rich brings. But I don't see any evolution in the
MCs plot. He's just enjoying what his friend offers.
Do not get me wrong! This was what I expected, because of my personal filter.
I guess it wouldn't do a game good to dwell in the details of the addiction, the
nightmares, feeling the lonelyness and the loss of meaning in almost everything.
If there was a way to show how to get out of this void, able to be presented in an
erotic novel, it wouldn't be so hard for so many people to live their lives happily.
It's just that stinging feeling that the proposition of the MC is only a sidenote in the
game itself. But again, this is just my filter.
The game itself is really well done, especially for a first project. I love the renders and
chracters a lot. Along with the locations, the plot and the dialogues. The map as the center
is really OK. Nevertheless I sometimes seem to miss parts, like jumping over them, but
maybe these are only unimportant scenes, so it's enough to spend a fiew reviewing words
in the following or the missing links will show up in the further development.
In the end i didn't want this to be a review, because judging it out of my wrong expextations
would be unfair.
Good Luck with your project and I really hope it is a great step in getting over obstacles and
misery.
