Awesome game. Female protagonist games are my favorite and I have played pretty much every popular one on here, and this first release puts Lisa near the top of my list. Spoilers below.
Positives
Lisa: gorgeous gorgeous protagonist that is also well written and feels like a real person. Her personality has layers, shy but secretly adventurous, loving girlfriend but tempted by the forbidden, momentarily spontaneous but quickly remorseful for her actions. Just a really well rounded character, potentially my favorite female MC ever.
Corruption: fantastic and believable. The care-free "landlady" and Lisa's repressed desires noted early on make for a natural progression into the increasing lewd. 90% of female protagonist games have corruption based on a need for money and the sheer stupidity of the MC. I am so happy this is not the case here; Lisa's adventures are done simply because she wants to.
Sharing: Always a touchy subject matter that is frequently poorly executed. Not here, the threesome is again very believable, with the Lisa and Danny's previous conversations perfectly setting up a night of booze fuel spontaneity and debauchery. The aftermath too was well done and realistic.
Soundtrack: Is either original or just uses lesser known songs, and is nice touch as it changes with the emotions and momentum of the various scenes. Really shows the dev's commitment to quality putting effort into a frequently neglected area.
Quantity: Easily the best and biggest initial release I have ever played. It wouldn't be fair to expect every update to be 4+ hours of content, but the fact that the dev put this much effort into the initial release before opening up the patreon speaks volumes of the dev and why they are making this game.
Negatives
Pace of play: Even with the text speeder up mod, this game moves a bit slow. Feels like about 45 minutes of play time could have been trimmed off with faster image transitions, text, and elimination of some redundant RPGM elements (saying hi went entering the ad agency, changing at the bar, etc.). I have replayed several of my favorite scenes, but as it stands now I don't see myself doing a full start to finish replay unless new updates speed it up.
Limited player input: The big choices the player makes so far are whether to cheat, and whether to pursue the sharing story line. The small choices either earn you depravity points or do nothing. Since you need depravity points to progress, the small choices are fairly meaningless, and the nature and themes of the game heavily favors the cheating and sharing routes. I hope future updates will add in some more big choices within the "naughty routes" as well as more frequent small choices to keep you engaged in the longer scenes, and have some consequence.
No gallery: I'm sure this will be fixed later on, but the game desperately needs a gallery feature so I don't need 10 different saves or a couple hours of replay to rewatch sex scenes
Overall
The good far far outweighs the bad for Lisa, and the negative aspects are understandable for a first time dev, and can easily be remedied in future updates. Lisa is perfect, drop dead gorgeous but also feels like a real life person. Her corruption is sexy yet believable. The dev's care and dedication to the product is evident. The foundation has been laid for the best female MC game ever. I can't wait for episode 2!
