Living Together! v0.38
I didn't play this version and it probably doesn't have any new content. Just some minor changes/improvements and some Subscriber perks. Also, the developer probably hasn't addressed the issue that people don't know what to do next. They keep grinding forever, doing the same thing over and over again, but don't know how to get to the good stuff. Or maybe they are just tired of how they get penalized so easily and it's hard for them to increase their Love and Attraction points or to keep them high. Or that nothing happens when they do get high. For these reasons, the game still isn't good. But even though I previously gave the game three stars and not much has changed, I am going to increase the rating to four stars because the developer is trying. He even added skipping and rollback again.
Living Together! v0.37
The renders are clear. The models are good. A lot of F95 reviewers comment on females in Japanese games having an uncanny valley look, and I honestly have no idea what they are talking about. The models, including this one, never bothered me.
This game does have a lot of inconveniences. I had to use Unren to enable skipping. I couldn't right click to get to the Save menu. I was forced to use a Save app on the phone or use the quick menu Save button at the bottom. The developer said that he is reserving the right mouse click for something else, but I'm not too happy about it. This is also a grindy game. I used Universal Renpy Mod to give myself $100,000 cash and $100,000 savings, but I used up all my cash after only eight days of grocery shopping and a few dates. I didn't consider that it could be a different currency. If it is Japanese Yen, then $100,000 would be $636 USD and then it would make sense. I feel that the game should USD currency because $100,000 USD is $15,712,276 Yen and it would feel weird giving myself 16 million dollars. There isn't enough room on the phone app to display that many digits.
Some people said that there were other issues like only four days in a week and her being on her period every day. I didn't notice and I don't care. I just wanted to see what I could unlock.
As for content, I just skimmed through stuff really fast and I didn't unlock any sex scenes but that might be because they haven't been added yet. Well, I was able to fap to her when she was asleep. I pulled her shirt down some and her panties down some, exposing her tiny breasts. She looked good and she was breathing (animated). And the cum looked really good and realistic. But other than that, I've only peeked on her in the shower/bath and that's about it. Nothing else.
As for the dialogue, I skipped through it really fast and didn't read it but I saw no indication that there was bad English, bad spelling or grammar, or that it was written poorly. So that's a good thing.
I think that main concern is what people's deep innermost feelings are about playing a game where the girl is young and nubile and which I would feel completely guilty doing anything with in real life (absolutely would not and would not even consider it), and would probably get my butt kicked, get murdered, or end up in jail. I think maybe some people will feel guilt and anger at a game with this sort of content and that would make them view this game negatively. For me, I don't play these games often and I don't obsess over loli content and I can compartmentalize. I felt that I was curious and interested enough to see what I could unlock, but I could not unlock much so I have the game on hold.
Some people complained about some trivial issues like being presented with a screen that lets us choose her appearance but then there were no actual options to choose her appearance. Maybe it was a language barrier misunderstanding. Another complaint was that the developer described the female has having some sort of AI intelligence, and that is misleading nonsense. A complete lie. But this stuff is trivial, not worth mentioning.
I really had no idea what I was supposed to be doing to progress. As one person stated, it is completely random RNG so I had her enjoying talking about having sex with me and me talking about my d1ck, but then the next day those things were awkward and caused her trust to go down. Getting her to talk about those things also didn't earn me any progress or relationship development.
I thought that the phone and watch were well designed. There could be some flaws, but I am just focusing on what I liked and there was a lot that I liked. The watch let me know if I had house chores that needed to be done, how many groceries I had at home, and her trust and attraction towards me. The bank app actually has some links that you can click on, and it is really nice looking. I didn't try to earn money or trade stocks. I cheated and gave myself a lot of money. There were some apps on the phone that I didn't know what they were for. Well three of them were probably for Patreon like websites, but I didn't use those websites before so that is why I didn't recognize the app icons. One thing is, I would feel tired if I took too many actions and I did not see where my energy level was and I didn't find any way to increase action points. I just took naps during the day and tried to do as much as I could with her when she came home.
Overall, I think if the game's problems were worked out, I could easily give it four stars. But because of all these problems, I need to lower the rating. If I didn't use UnRen and URM, I would give it 1 or 2 stars. But since I used them and it fixed the issues that I was having, I feel like it's around a 3 star game. I wish that I could give it a better rating to make up for the 1 star reviews it received so far, but I won't. I'll just give it a 3 star rating but I think that I'm interested in this game and want to see future updates and I want to see what I can unlock.
I think that the future is very promising. From what I saw in the Universal Renpy Mod, there will be all kinds of good sex scenes. Her masturbating. Me masturbating. Mutual masturbation. Sex. Toys. That sort of thing. I'm actually terrified of taking a bath with her though because she looks too young to be in the bathroom with, but I liked fapping to her when she was asleep and kind wish that I could have done more.
