The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs...
(12/28/2017 - Original Review - v0.5.1)
This visual novel/game started off very strong with the story and plot, but has some moments were the story seems a bit rushed... This VN/game does include the overused Family Sex stuff...
The visuals for the characters are very good and most appear to be unique, with more realistic body shapes... The backdrops are also very well done, and I didn't recognize any of them, and that is always a plus... There are some short animations now and then, and they do appear at just the right moments...
The script was well done with very few spelling/grammar errors that I saw... The story starts off strong and has a fun and interesting backstory and mysterious plot... The male protagonist and his family have moved into a new home, for far less money then the home appears to be worth... The actual purchase and move in to the home happened so quickly though, even before papers were signed and payment was made, which was a bit immersion breaking, but I just went along with it...
Shortly after moving in, the protagonist gets some unusual visions that are followed by odd behavior of characters around him... He eventually surmises an ability to influence/corrupt others around himself for brief periods of time... As the story progresses, the protagonist is confronted by lots of other intrigue and mystery as the plot develops...
Eventually though, the number of sex scenes highly increases, and the plot begins to suffer now and then... With this increase in sex content, the story begins to take on a yo-yo effect, with the story going by too rapidly then slowing down to a normal pace again, followed by the story moving too quickly again, etc... This become a bit distracting and I believe hurts the over all story telling experience of this VN/Game, which started off very strong... Story events eventually started to play out too quickly... Almost like a fly by plot scene... Leaving the reader with more questions then answers about what is actually happening sometimes...
Overall, I really enjoyed this Erotic Visual Novel/Game, and was hooked by the good visuals and deep/creative plot... The sex scenes just began to come on too rapidly, sometimes being just short events, and then the story elements would also fly by rapidly, followed by normal story progression, and it all just kept that up and down feeling, which sometimes left me feeling either confused or wondering what direction the story was actually going...
I think this VN/Game has a lot of potential, and is still in the middle of it's development... But I'ld like to see the deep story of the first half+ continue through out the VN/game rather then becoming so infatuated with the sex part of the story, that the rest of the plot suffers... Only time will tell, but I'll revisit this one a bit later into it's development to see if some of the issues get fixed or if it continues with it's current trends... I wish the author/s the best of luck and I did enjoy reading/viewing this one...
(02/02/2018 - Review Update - Complete)
I don't know what happened to this visual novel/game, because from the last time I played it till this moment, the current content just flew by... It almost makes me think the author/s just decided they no longer wanted to work on it, and just started throwing an ending together really quick, slam bam thank you ma'am, done... Don't get me wrong, all the content from v0.5.1 to the end stuff made sense, but it just went so rapidly... I should have seen it coming though, because I was wondering why near the end of the content from my last play through, everything started to feel rushed... But this new content was very definitely rushed...
I guess I have to give the author/s credit for at least giving it some sort of happy ending... At least the protagonist's family was alright and he still had his love affair in the end... I just wish they would have put a lot more time into it all, because it showed such potential before... Because of how fast the story just rushes at you as the reader/player in the content added since I last played, I was really truly disappointed... But, if they felt they just wanted to end it and move on, I can't really be angry, just disappointed...
Overall, this new content revolves mostly around finishing the VN/game up, tying up loose ends, giving some closure to the whole thing... But it was so darn rushed, and again the erotic scenes also felt rushed again... I just wish it would have been better and had more work put into it all, as I was enjoying the story up till it began running as quickly as it could towards ending itself... There is no reason to do another play through, as I don't want to re-live that disappointment again... I wish the author/s the best of luck on future projects... Hopefully they will not make the same mistakes on those, that they did with this one...
