For some reason, I put off playing this. I think the first few times I tried, I was put off by the English translations. I have seen this on other non native English speakers, they use things like "by the way" way to much. There are other indicators, but this AVN they say btw way too often.
Regardless, I finally decided to spend some time with it as I had nothing else to play and I was glad I did. It's not the best AVN out there and it is light on the H scenes, but the story is engaging enough to keep you interested. Also, the Anna character has a bunch of depth and is written well. I am not sure if it's a woman writing her part, but it is pretty believable.
On a personal level, my wife has told me stories of how men treat women in the workplace, and while I have not heard anything as dramatic as they show in this AVN, it does at least capture the plight women have to face. Between the mother, the salesrep turned model and Helen, there are some good examples of how women have to deal with some of the shit men throw at them on a daily basis. The dev has found a way of making the reader understand their plight and at the same time, make it kind of sexy. At the end of the day, it's an adult AVN, so the men are going to be more pervy then in real life and those awkward female situations are going to be unrealistic and over the top, but this is fiction/fantasy after all and the dev does a nice job balancing all of it.
The renders are pretty good, pacing is good, scene blocking is good... nothing to amazing and yet nothing too artsy. It's a solid blend of art and storytelling. All the characters are fleshed out and unique and they are thoroughly enjoyable to get to know.
On the negative side, I have a hard time getting into the female relationships. They don't feel organic. When Jill and Judy reconciled, it seemed out of the blue and a little forced. Same with the Miki/Anna scene toward the end of the last update. I am really looking forward to seeing that relationship blossom but it was kind of an awkward beginning. Admittedly, that may be the point as neither girls have considered the possibility of a relationship previously so the first actions towards it may, in fact, be awkward. IDK. It just seemed a little rushed and I would rather see it happen more organically now the seed has been planted.
Anyway, I could go on for a while about this AVN as it is pretty darn good. It falls short of the 5 stars, but it still is really good. I was sad when I reached the end of the current version and am looking forward to the next release.
Nice job and good luck to the dev!
