Netorase Phone by Le Stag reviewed at version 0.21.2

Story - This is not a new, exciting, fresh story by any means; in fact, these kinds of games are now popping up at quite the rate. This one, however, is quite established now and is quite deep into the overall narrative. Overall, the narrative does tend to stay grounded in reality, as a result, the overall feel is a very slow pace - while this is great in terms of helping this couple step into the world they are entering... the nature of the story telling chosen here means there can be a bit of repetetiveness to things. Our Dev does his best to break these up with little in-between scenes here and there. Most of the time it works and the overall narrative is somewhat compelling...

Art - It's Civitai, and if you are not new to the genre, you'll have seen variations of the models used before - The good thing is that rather we are only showed little snippets of art through picture messages and as a result, there is some consistency with them rather than than the problems some get with say a Ren'Py game when outfits are varying between scenes. Our Dev obviously at least takes the time to ensure that there are the correct number of fingers, and eye colour remains constant. It helps with immersion, but I can't say more than that it is AI after all.

Character - There are a handful, obviously our MC and his Partner, her two best friends and then the various bulls introduced throughout. Despite the fact that it's quite a linear journey and obviously, there is some character development between or MC and his partner as they come to terms with their new kink, there is some player input in how that development goes, you obviously cant stop the the MC becoming a cuck, but can choose how much of one he is and the partners can be lead down a path of cuckqueaning too. What's really nice is how the corruption spills over into the friend group, and somebody else sees what happiness this life brings and becomes more open. Our Dev has been clever with the Bulls too - they cover the entire spectrum when it comes to being a Bull, from extreme to passive, with the only one who is compulsory being the
One straight down the middle.

Overall - This game is not going to be for everyone. It is already broaching a topic that is controversial... but there is a reason copies of this game pop up left, right and centre. It's an easy play, and this one is one of the best. It is not without its issues, though, but they are mainly due to the format being used here...

Most of the gameplay does actually work. We get nice Instagram posts following a modelling gig or a night out, we get text messages and stories that seem to be consistent with time and places (there are a few of the "extra" stories that can appear and not make sense, but these are random, so I can give a pass. (ie you can get a message of your partner stating shes at a bookshop, followed immediately by the bull stating shes with him) It's nice that we can dance around the chapters to get missed pictures with a nice skip button too. There is a lot that is good about the game, its just the pace that damages.

Our main issue is that the story has become somewhat stagnant, there's only so many times you can read about your sexual escapades with the same character over and over again - Le'Stag has tried to combat this with "rewards" of different pictures or trying different ways to tell that sexual encounter, even introducing short animation now... but the fact remains. If you've read your missus, describe how she has been nailed once or twice; it's enough. It is nice that in the later stage, we are getting hints of a Cuckquean path... I just question if it's come a little late

I will always maintain that these kinds of games are always told from the wrong perspective and would have much more opportunity if told from the woman's, but hey, that's only my personal perspective, and your mileage may very... But there's a lot more story to tell if we can see her messages to the bulls (which sometimes we do), give her a chance to get on a Tinder-style app to find a bull etc etc.

Id say for anyone who doesn't mind AI art and is a fan of these NTS/NTR phone games this is at least one to try - I cant guarantee it will blow you away by any means, but its at least better and with more content than most of what similar games provide on here. Its at least one I am going to follow for a bit anyway

The Chemist by Fringe Creation Revuewed at Episode 4

Story - Our dev attempts to weave a little narrative into the mix... It's an apocalyptic, end-of-the-world kind of story. Unfortunately, it gets lost in the choice to include unnecessary sex scenes, corny dialogue, and numerous typos. There is simply nothing worthwhile in any of the writing here, just many forced scenes that create a nonsensical narrative.

Renders - The art is by far the best aspect of this game, which is saying something, considering it's only around average at best. We have a mix of character models ranging from voluptuous women to smaller ones. Some are rendered better than others, but overall, there is no clothing warping or hair clipping. So, despite their averageness, they are at least done to a certain standard. The environments are shocking; I laughed when we started in a classroom setting with only two pupils and a teacher. Not even the typical dark silhouettes appear here. The lighting in scenes also becomes slightly worse as the game progresses.

Characters - There are a lot, man. Most have innuendo names, which is quite ridiculous. There's no individuality among the characters at all - every girl you encounter has the mindset of "I must jump on the MC." In the first five minutes alone, you meet five characters with this attitude, one of whom even succeeds. There is nothing remotely striking about the MC that would inspire this. The only character development I noticed was when one character decided her entire personality needed to change after sleeping with the MC. Other than that, all characters remain fixated on their desires with no development whatsoever.

Overall - This is a project full of bad elements, which results in an ultimately bad result. There is simply nothing about this thing that I can find redeemable at all. The whole thing screams a horny teens wet dream, with the urge to simply move from one Lewd Scene to the next, not caring about the quality of the writing along the way. The typos, cheesy dialogue, and lack of plot development make the whole experience feel lacklustre. It is truly a shame because underneath, I actually believe the plot could be interesting in the right hands. Instead of providing an immersive game, our developer has opted for a full-blown porn journey. It was somewhat torturous to get through, and I won't be returning.

Bad 2/10

Family Matters by Perv2k16 reviewed at Episode 13

Story - The overall plot could be quite interesting. It's a sub-genre that isn't really favored in AVNS, but the execution is quite disorganized, resulting in a missed opportunity. I found myself questioning if English was the developers' first language, because although it's not full of "Engrish", the dialogue feels disjointed and unstructured. Engagement is severely lacking despite the many choices available throughout the game; most feel forced, creating the illusion of choice and resembling a kinetic novel. With this forced, disjointed narrative, the story becomes less interesting and gets lost in the weeds.

Renders - The renders are pretty standard models; don't be shocked if you recognise some of them. While they are polished quite well, given the lengthy production of this game, there are instances when they don't quite meet today's standards. The environments are a mixed bag. During the daytime, everything is fine, but at night it gets very dark. While I appreciate that this might be an aesthetic choice to align with the game's narrative, there were times I was questioning my brightness settings because I struggled to see.

Characters - I found character development lacking; at times it feels like events unfold around us simply because that's where the plot needs to go. Given the game's length, only Vicky and Julie seem to have any real development. However, this development seems like a convenient plot point rather than authentic character building. The other two characters exist merely to fulfill plot functions: one is there to corrupt our sister, and the other is needed to create a sense of danger at some point.

Overview - I wanted to like this game; I really did, but I found it to be a real chore to play. Despite the uncommon plot, it is just not written engagingly enough to hold interest. This is most evident with the choices; while it's nice to have options to foster engagement, if you’re going to pull the trigger right away and give us a game over, you're simply providing an illusion of choice while forcing the issue. Also, the correct choice isn't nearly as obvious as the developers assume. Additionally, much of the dialogue feels somewhat cringeworthy, and the emotional response the developer aims for is completely missed. It's such a shame that a plot with immense potential is let down. This could have gone somewhere, but instead, it stalls due to poor writing, lackluster character development, and mishandled pacing.

March In View

So I didn’t think I played that many games in March, but when it came to writing this, I realised I actually got through a fair amount. I think this was down to a slow start to the month compared to others. There didn’t seem to be that many games dropping. I put this down to the fact there was a big release and games not wanting to release around the same time to avoid being lost. But thats just guesswork.

Regardless of said big release, there were still some good games found, A nice return to some games and I managed to play 15 new releases and 22 updates, averaging about 1.2 games a day. In fact, for the first time since I started this month-by-month thing, I actually had games left in the “to play” folder. I’ll hopefully get back around to them the next time they come around.

So let's journey through what f95 brought me in March.

New Games

Bonds Between
- It's hard to say if this game is going to be for me or not. Overall the renders are fantastic, but as to what the actual premise is I couldn't tell you, we seem to be setting up a lot of different stories here. It is honestly difficult to judge a 1 chapter new game, especially when they are this short. But if the story quality is as good as the render quality we have already got, this is really one to watch.

Blacked Tiffany - This could be great, but it also could be equally ridiculous. So far the renders are below average, and the writing is even worse. I can't tell if it's setting up a cuckold story, a cheating story or a swinging story. But I am interested at least. It's never going to be top 10 material, but it could be a nice little pallet cleanser.

Family Secrets - It seems we have a problem with new games dropping and ultimately showing us nothing. Overall this game can be finished in about 8 minutes and so far it only details the main character with poorly written thought and backstory while he was sat on a plane, then a short introduction of characters. As debuts go, it was poor.

Altered Bloodlines – This one has a bit of meat to it and certainly lasts longer than the 8 minutes I have already talked about. We have some good renders, but there are times the art seems iffy, For example, there is one shot in the only lewd with weird-looking flat boobs – the premise is pretty much laid down to us here, not directly, but we get enough to know where it's going. It is one to watch.

Paradise City - So here we have Loki and his wife attending a holiday with his stepbrother. But in a shocking twist, it turns out that his brother tricked him and it's a sex island. You would think that shit would come up in research, which our MC actually did! - while this is actually one of the longer debut games I’ve played. The issue we have here is this NTR/Hotwife premise is no longer new, there’s loads of these kinds of games and while it's nice its not AI and has what could be considered a decent idea. The landing is missed. The pacing of this game is far too fast.

A Perfect Couple – Well colour me shocked, we have an NTR/NTS phone text style game that is not AI generated. It is in a very similar vein to Stay Online, the MC has to leave the country, we have a best friend who corrupts our FMC and so the cheating hot wifing etc begins. We do seem to be getting a little more images here than we did in stay online, but ulitmately its more of the same and this will have to do something fast to stand apart.

Our NTS story - Quite a sex filled opening chapter seems our MC's already have an open relationship. Its nice it gives you he option where to go, be it NTS or cheating on both sides of the coin. Its an intersting way to do it rather than have the first chapter do the build up. The AI art is poor though. , The hair keeps changing colours and occasional styles the clothing changes at a few times. No six fingers though which is always a plus.

Jazzy Times. An AI game that isn't interested in NTR, colour me shocked. Essentially just a little demo, a nice introduction of characters, and nothing too major happens. The art seems consistent, but it's not as art-heavy as some other AI games. you spend a lot of time looking at backgrounds. Looking at the future tags. I don't think this is one I'll continue.

No Big Deal - One of the better debuts I've seen, often we find that new entries are short and showcase nothing. Here we have a somewhat meaty first release, with a couple of lewds, setting up the premise. I won't lie and say it's perfect, there are some points where the dialogue feels wooden, sometimes forced and the renders aren't exactly mind-blowing either. Honestly hard to tell if this is going to go anywhere, but I am interested in playing the next part at least

Sorority secrets – This was a punt of a download really, the fact that it was a sandbox was really putting me off. But well there are some games with sandbox elements that arent that bad so a chance was taken. But no, the premise of this game is set really fast. You have your days split into mornings, afternoons and evenings, you have money and a world map to explore. I could tell it was going to be grindy as soon as I was invited to a club with a cover charge of $200 and only having $50. The dev seems very overly keen on giving every character tattoos of some sort. Bowed out of this one rather early.

Rediscovering Maria is a strange one, yeah there's not enough content there, but I'm willing to bet the timid frigid girl wearing the cross is going to become an over-sexualised nymph. There was a choice for a gym so there is a chance of body transformation there, especially given our FMC is unhappy with her image. There was a choice about excitement over the thought of someone else, so it might be mutual cucking. Either way it's odds on that it's a TACOS clone both in content and quality.

Beneath the Surface – The renders most of the time feel flat and there is a real shading issue in most if not all of the scenes - There is nothing really here to make a judgement, a real slow burn of a game. Could be one to watch, couldn't say yet, but based on the plans I am not too excited.

Corrupted by Love – A lot of errors in the first moment of this game, specifically with the text message system, characters' name being default in them and repeating messages. The AI art is a little incosistant but it's nothing too major. Actually a good attempt, but nothing we have not seen before.

City of Sin– One of those new games that shows nothing, renders seem at least presentable, there are a few typos here and there, but nothing too bad. Could be interesting, there's just nothing to tell me either way.

Danger BLUE – A nice little introduction to the game, gives a little mystery and introduces us to two potential LI’s and gives us a bit of backstory and history with a 3rd. For a debut this is really not bad, the dialogue could do with a bit of work. I am willing to give this a few updates to see if it finds itself

Updates

University of Problems
- Though technically F95 says this was updated in February it did actually update UK time in March. So it just made the cut. A game that until the end of December was in my top 10, but found itself dropping out. I've finally reviewed the game here and some of the reasons for the drop are actually mentioned and talked about. I am happy to see we are getting a bit of course correction, or at least the pieces are now falling into play to allow the story to move on. It's not quite up there to be back in the top 10, but if things go the way I hope they are, it might make its way back

Mila AI – This was a game that until my review dropped was actually in the watchlist, but its actually come alomng a lot since it first found its way there. As AI games actually go, this is one I find impressive.

Breaking Ties - The Synopsis and Previews gave this game such promise, Unfortunately, it fails to deliver on anything! The writing is sloppy, bordering on even stupid. It's not engaging at all. Given we know the plot straight out of the gate nothing is really surprising, It's a nice and different attempt on what is already a saturated market. Unfortunately, it's not landed by any means.

My Bimbo Dreams - I came to this one not really expecting much but actually was pleasantly surprised. You can read my thoughts here. I am in no rush to get back to it, but I'll certainly pick up the updates as and when I have time.

Being A Dik – Ahhhh the big one. This is the game I alluded to in the introduction. I actually spent a good deal of time with this update. A little over 6 days. It's quite impressive and still revealing secrets to me now. This is one that's in my top 10 and will probably be there for a while. I reviewed it here

Serenity Meadows - Here we have a typical incest cough sorry typical Landlady game. The writing is all over the place to be fair. desperate need of a proofreader. There is so far nothing interesting developing in terms of the story The renders are not the best, they feel somewhat dated, though it seems to be the dev's first game so I shall give him a pass. Even though they look dated there are some decent-looking characters. MC however looks stupid. overall a less-than-perfect entry into a genre that is already over-saturated with better quality games. Will need several updates before getting back to this

Harmony Haven - A little update to the game. I can't really add to what I said here.… Its still one to watch and I am still looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Stay Online – So it's looking like this one will be a regular as we seem to be getting updates every month and to be honest I don’t mind that. It's not overly taxing and breaks up big story-driven games quite nicely. This update did not put me off in any way, though I have nothing really to add from what I said here

Just Married - Played this back when it was just a demo last month - it was very short and the only thing I mentioned was renders border on average to okay and that's a good thing because you'll find yourself staring at the same image as text scrolls. For this to become something, it needs a lot of work. This update was a pleasant surprise. While the renders still border on average to above average there are a lot more of them and it doesn't seem like I am staring at the same render while text scrolls. The choice at the start is interesting. This might have some potential, but like when I last played this game... I need more.

Simple days - This was an accidental download. I gave it as long as I could but couldn't really get far into it once the grind happened. It's a badly written thought out story and the majority of the game is a grind. The renders are piss poor if they don't look grainy the characters look waxy. Overall this is a boring little jaunt.

Stranded - So this is a weird one a sort of mix between renders and real imagery. It is trying to be told from some sort of first-person view, as such you'll only see a character render as if you were facing them. I don't think it really worked. The character renders zooming in and flying around the screen are nauseating - the animations were somewhat smooth, but the overall visual presentation is very off-putting. It is a no from me.

Growing Things Up - So they have finally got rid of that apostrophe… This was a small but nice little update, seemed to get a bit of exposition on a key character. Overall did nothing that would change my review, but I am still interested in where this goes.

Altered Worlds - Pretty Much a porn version of that old Nick Cage Film The Family Man. The opening BBQ scenes were pretty boring. I found it to be a “just a look at my pretty assets showcase” and despite it throwing women, who I know we are going to have lewds with, at me. I was wondering throughout where the fuck the game was going, could only come up with a Family Harem and was so close to being out. The twist is good, I don't think there are any "what if" games out there, but as mentioned. There is a film with a similar concept so it's not exactly new. The renders are fucking stunning. Well up there with some of the best, I can not fault them at all. It's hard to say if I like it or not, but I'd say It's got me interested, so far, I'd at least like to see another day in the "prime world" now he knows about the switch to see just what it's going to push.

Victoria in Big City - This game has been going on for some time now and the wait for this update I think was a bit damaging. While there are reasons for the delay (the game was going in another direction, but didn't) I still don't think it was worth the year's wait. I said here that the game lacks direction... I am seriously concerned it might not get it back.

Office Secrets - I picked this up way last month, despite saying I'd stay clear of them, we have a relatively short update here, but the premise is well and truly set. It did nothing to turn me away anyway, so will be continuing going forward.

No Fap Island – this was quite a fun game. A mix between reality shows we have an MC thrown on an island and told he can't cum. Let the fun begin. The AI art is done well, though it does get a little repetitive. But there are no extra limbs, and clothing and hair remain consistent- it's very well done and I am interested in seeing where it goes

Ms. Denvers - A bit of a Meh game this. I wrote about it here I can see what it wants to be... I'm just not sure how long it will take to get there...

New Coral City - Oh man what a ride. I actually think this is my lowest-scored review game ever. I think I need to try Follower first.

Westview Academy - I only just reviewed this one - you should read that for my thoughts.

Sandy Bay - This is a game I really need to get around to reviewing as I have now been playing it for some time. However, I also need to start a fresh playthrough as the game is so far not that memorable. The renders are a bit weird and would be off-putting to most, blending a weird flatness of clearly computer-generated characters with real-life backgrounds. It's nothing special by any means, but it is telling an often-treaded story in its own way.

B.E.S.T - So I last played this in December and it made it straight to my top 10. This update hasn't changed that. it's a fresh take on the school genre and one I am happy to continue playing.

Campus Bonds - So I am actually in two minds to continue this game or not - at the start I got the feeling it was trying to be different from BaDIK, but it fails so dramatically and is so similar I actually questioned if the similarities were on purpose. We have a Busty Librarian who we are not getting on with at the start, a Jock who hates us, a sprinkling of drugs here and there, free roams where you collect money and magazines and a morality system similar to the Dik/Chick - The story doesn't seem to be as engaging as BaDIK and I question why do we need this game when its bring nothing BaDIK hasn't already brought.

Blast from the Past

Over my time on here I have heard great things about City of Broken Dreamers, rather than go straight for that game I figured I'd try the Devs first game Depraved Awakening. I won't lie, I wasn't impressed with it. Still I not put of from COBD so expect to see that here soon.

The Fappies!

This month as well as our usual awards we are going to get 3 new ones. Worst New Game of the Month, Worst Updated Game of the Month and Hottest Lewd Scene of the Month. I am really interested to see if any game can get both the worst and best awards, but we shall see....

Best New Game of the Month - This category is getting hard I won't lie, I've mentioned a few times here already that we seem to be getting 3-minute wonders with game debuts and I really can't give an award based on that. But, that being said, we had two good debuts this month No Big Deal and Danger BLUE. They are both good in their own merits, but given some of the gameplay mechanics of Danger BLUE the scales are tipped slightly in its favour

Best Updated Game of the Month - I went into this month expecting it to win, so this month might be a bit biased, but I can't remember the last time I got 6 days out of an update. Well Being A DIK certainly managed that, however, that being said just because I was shocked by how much I enjoyed it, My Bimbo Dream almost had it.... maybe next time.

Best Lewd Scene - So there were actually two scenes that made me think of this award this month, Josy & Maya's BDSM scene from BaDIK and The Poker Scene from Victoria in Big City. I found both hot as hell, but I think Josy & Maya was absolutely stunning - I have to give it to The Poker Scene, Just because not only was it stunning, but the sheer length of it was amazing.

Worst New Game - There were so many to choose from here, basically, if you're showcasing your new game and it's under 5 minutes... chances are you are getting considered for this. But ultimately the worst one for me this month was Family Secrets. Showcasing your game with a shoddy created AI plane animation then just filling it with backstory and preposition... Do better...

Worst Updated Game - This one I didn't even need to think about. Serenity Meadows. Unfortunately, the dated renders and lack of a proof reader let it down here.
in our NTR story there more than NTR/NTS path,there stub and cuckquean paths even a loyal ones

Story - There seems to be a missed opportunity here with the plot. At its core, it's a very good idea; however, it is let down by its length and quick pace. There are a lot of things that just happen for story or porn logic reasons. It's a shame because there's a lack of depth that detracts from the overall narrative. I think this is most evident with the choices; the game is clearly written to go one way and doesn't handle choices well. That's not to say the narrative is bad; it just doesn't bring anything that defines it and could use some serious polishing.

Renders - The renders here are okay; there's nothing striking about any of them by any means. There was an issue in the first chapter with Zoe. Her police badge is really small, and I suspect that is to hide the clipping that occurs a bit with her lanyard. There was also a party scene in the first chapter where the background character looks laughably flat. I wouldn't say any of the love interests stand out personally for me, except for Amelia; her tattoos seem really wrong, sort of painted on. Other than that, every character looks average, except the MC, who has no defining features at all and is quite unmemorable. Animations are done really well. I'd argue they are probably the best aspect of the game, but given the lewds are few and far between, it's not saying much at all.

Characters - There is a distinct lack of character development. Most of the characters are just there when needed; there's no build-up to anything at all. Take Zoe, who has only just met this MC, but after a short day with him and a quick party, not only is she falling for him, but he's starting fights to protect her, which leads to the whole thing escalating. Nothing related to character feels earned; the plot just requires this to happen, so it will.

Overall - This is by no means a good game, but it's not a bad one either. Overall, it feels like the dev rushed to get this completed. I think this is most evident with the endings. It's a shame really, because there are ideas here that, if developed a bit more, could have led to something more meaningful. Instead, we are left with a short game that rushes its plot at the cost of character development, coherent narrative, and any sort of meaningful payoff. It will likely rank quite low on the recommendation list; sure, if you have time, play it, but there are certainly better games of this genre out there.

Hard Days by VNAdults Reviewed at 0.4.7

Story - I'd argue there isn't really any story here at all, at its base, it is a sexually frustrated wife stuck at home for reasons, who suddenly gives in to depravity when new swinging neighbours move in. It's not exactly a deep narrative, nor is it very well written. Just let's get our FMC into any situation where she can open her legs. The writing is as bland as you can expect for a lewd showcase, though given the shallowness of the story, you'd be silly for expecting exceptional writing.

Renders - The renders here are hit and miss... mainly miss. So far, we have been introduced to a number of characters. In terms of girls, we have the FMC, her mother-in-law, her boss, and her neighbour. While most are rendered well- meaning there are no bolt-on boobs, the hair doesn't look like a Lego piece, and no one really suffers from clothing warping to their breasts - there is no female character who is truly attractive. This issue extends to the men, where all the men so far are just meh... I wonder why the FMC has any interest in them at all. The environments are basic; due to the lockdown nature of the game, you are essentially stuck in the couple's house. The sex scenes are where this game shines. They are above average and have been executed very well.

Characters - There is noreal character development here at all - well I gues there's a little with our FMC, though that's just with her horniness and what she is willing to do with the other blokes of the games. Her husband is written as a stupid character, some of the stuff the FMC gets up to under his nose borders on ridiculous... but hey, that's the nature of the game. All of the other characters are just there for a dick really.

Overall - This is without a doubt a jerk off game, though it has put forward a loose concept of a story, I think it knows what it is and is not trying to hide too much. If you are after a female corruption game, there are other games that approach the subject by far better... You are not going to get anything other than lewds from this - instead, you'll get a shallow story, with the illusion of choice and forced love interests hidden behind a barrage of nicely rendered lewds. This isn't going to be for everyone by any stretch of the imagination... but if you like quick horny scenes it might be for you.

Love, Honor, Betray by Renio Studios - Reviewed at Episode 12

Story - This game is trying hard to have an underlying narrative, but I just question what the actual plot of the game brings. At its heart, we have a blackmail game. Due to some untimely events, our MC is blackmailed and we follow her as she tries to solve that mystery, while also coming to terms with her own sexual desires. The two things are not irrefutably linked, and neither part needs the other. Yes, there are some things with her corruption tied to the blackmail - but it just feels forced to get our FMC to a certain point faster than she should. The narrativ,e while not poorly written, does feel somewhat choppy, There are certain times I got a feeling of being lost as the plot jumps around all over the place, trying to push our FMC into a certain situation.

Renders - I found the FMC really well done. In terms of where thedev is putting their focus its here... but she is the star of the show so to speak, so it is understandable. the remaining renders arepassible, a bit above okay maybe, there were no renders that really stood out as bad to me, despite some looking a little grainy/out of focus. Our environments are done really well, the seem to have well thought out lighting, there were no scenes that suffered from being over saturated or a little too dark that come to mind. Given the nature of some of these environments it was nice to see them with some NPC's too rather than the usual big empty spaceyou come across in some games. There are a lot of scenes in this game andlike with the FMC it is obvious to see where the Dev is putting the time in here.... The F/F scenes are really well done and when comparing them to the F/M scenes its like night and day.

Characters - I found the characters to be the main problem of the game - character development is very incosistent - I wouldnt say its all over the place. But an angenda is defitneltey being pushed here. - Despite the fact we do get choices, most of them feel empty and a lot of things feel forced as a result, the development of our FMC feels like its happening to fit into a plot size hole, rather than developing naturally around the plot.

Overall - This was not at all what I was expecting - though I found the game enjoyable, there are other games that are similar in some ways that are simply better. It is, at its core, a wank fest/kink showcase, hidden behind a very basic story, that is not only not needed, but is not enough to carry it forward - While the content was, in some parts, hot and did enough to carry me to the end. I got a feeling of "meh" in the later chapters. There is a lot of things in this game that are just forced sinply because it is a kink showcase. While it is by no means a terrible game, its not exactly genre defining either. It would do a lot better if it accepted what it is rather than hiding behind its basic plot. While I am not turned off, I cant say i'll be running to download the next update.
