That's why I usually don't play first releases.
Language is not English, it's Engrish. Really strong Engrish. Not Google translate, which is good. Text is readable but no more than this.
I would't say renders are ugly. Quite an opposite, some renders are really beautiful. But some renders looks like they were rendered in 640x480 or even less and then just upscaled to current resolution (in my case, 1920x1080). And that looks really ugly. To that I want to add one small but important thing: I see no standard DAZ models, I see no models with perfect curves, I see no perfect lightning and no perfect clothes. IMHO, it's a good thing, it makes renders unique.
I don't know why the game engine is set to "Other", I saw enough games made with RPG maker to see distinct engine features. Maybe it's RPG maker VX or Ace, I cannot say for sure, but it's clearly RPG maker.
Also, the game is slow and there are many bugs. To say it mildly. I got tired of clicking even when Desmond get to the cinema with his GF, oh, that scene in cinema... Black screen with only a couple of pictures and then black screen again...That's not crappy game, that's a game whose gameplay is a total crap. The next day MC went to school, that was the last render I saw in the game, the next was only black screen with text. I'd say game is unplayable now.
Cherry on top, I don't know why there's so much audio settings in the game if there's no audio at all.
