** UPDATE 2024 ** With the switch to RENPY losing most of the clunkiness of the RPGM engine, I am upgrading this game and giving it one more star and give it a 4 star rating. The game is amusing and the story is good so I will check back and update as it's warranted.
This game is a mixed bag of dicks imo. Their is a lot here to like but their is also a ton of annoyances.
The GOOD
1) The character models, these use a lot of the character models as the game Manila Shaw https://f95zone.to/threads/manila-shaw-blackmails-obsession-v0-36a-abaddon.7857/. Solid models and I love the character model of Manila so it's easy to like this here.
2) The animations when you get to them for the most part their solid and well done.
3) The story so far is interesting and enjoyable. It is not Shakespeare but the writing is solid, not perfect but solid.
The BAD
1) The clunkiness of the interface and layout! This is a game that really should be a RENPY game imo. There is absolutely no point in walking around in this game, it is a side scroller so you literally walk left and right to your next destination.
2) Getting stuck in Loooooooong, unskippable, unsavable areas! You can't save if you are in the middle of a scene and some of these scenes go on forever and ever and ever. You get bored, Your GF comes in, You kids enter the room and you close the screen. For example - Their is one scene where her husband walks in and surprises her that his sister is here, BUT it doesn't end their, no no no it then goes to having a loooooong flashback as to how they met, her roommate, the guys she new, a party a sex scene etc. on and on and on with no opportunity to SAVE! The problem is its a good scene when it gets to the animations but my god what I wouldn't give to be able to save. (See the Gallery)
3) The Gallery - Absolute worst gallery implementation I have ever scene and I generally love having a gallery to go back to for a reference. This one does not take you to the good parts, it takes you to basically the last place you could have feasibly saved and you start way way way away from the good stuff (See Point 2 Long Long Long locked in renders)
4) Their is rarely ever a choice (Actually I am trying my hardest to remember any choices at all and I sincerely can't remember one!)
Conclusion
If you love Manila Shaw and/or these character model then their is enjoyment to be had here but its a slog to get through this. The interface is just clunky. It has great ideas and story that are poorly implemented behind this interface. Manila Shaw uses RPMG but it is very well implemented and makes sense to use RPMG. This should be a straight AVN in Renpy.
For the Story, the character models, the renders and animations I give this 3 stars out of 5 as it currently is.
I will update if any of these issues are fixed in a future update.
