Others - Completed - Living with Roommates [v0.99] [tomcat0815]

better than expected (played with external cheats/debugs. but imo it is fair to include such into consideration when reviewing a game as nobody forces you to face avoidable things )

imo positive sides outweighting unpolished moments:
> solid immersion/consistency, bunch of random encounters, some ingame geotrackers and alerts, external cheats and info. no crucial bugs.

i may say that it is a good game but if you want a somewhat realporn simulator/lifeselector

but as a datesim it lacks content: build up, progressing, story (not that i read much but still, here is more like comics)
game throws too many vids [in the same sequence order] at you at once pretty soon * (with main fem npcs it looks like scenes are linked to 3 stages: <20rel, >20rel,>50rel + extra scenes ... so it is more like unlocking location-specific movies chopped into fragments )
(*) i played with cheats, but had i played without i assume i would just get lots of repetitive scenes and excessive grind instead. but for now i guess only RNG would slow down things abit . and some grind for melissa and ariana.

Brilliant game over all, loads of real porn content, sandbox mode, not too much grinding. And finally no sissification.

If it had urination, it'd be my perfect game.

The only downside is the translation which could use some work, and the blurry backgrounds can be an annoyance to begin with.

Overall one of the best games I've found on this site.

It's ok. Kinda boring. Lots of grinding without a real story of why things are happening. One day they're mad at you for looking a them, then you help her wash the dishes and she's ready for anal. Minimal text and no audio on the videos makes the conversations awkward. No option to skip the text or scenes you've already seen, and sometimes they are long with a dozen (skippable individually) videos with text intermissions. But... the videos are high def and the models are all attractive and there's good amount of videos.

This game is a huge improvement of Scoreville, but still has some major flaws.

The great amount of real porn content creates expectation to get a scene upon various actions, but you might get a bit bored after a while. One of the reasons is because you get attached only to the main characters, the rest of the scenes are just random chicks you meet while jogging, or dancing etc. It's okay to simply fuck some random chicks once in a while, but you have to be careful to not let this turn into a video player for scenes someone picked up on the internet.

The story is the most sensitive part of this game, it is buggy and confusing, and it definitely needs improvement. You don't know why you're living with the girls, how you got there, what is your main objective, or if there is any objective at all, you know nothing Jon Snow.

The presence of sound effect is, alone, something to be celebrated. It could be even better if there were some during BJs or sex, but just the fact that it exists improves the experience a lot.

At last, the game can entertain you for a few minutes or hours, but it's not something you get immersed in. However, the work using this engine brings me hope to see more projects with this same structure but with proper characters and a good story.

Sigh.

I played about ten minutes of this and was turned off. The life simulation aspects are annoying. Do I really need to tell my guy to put on every piece of clothing, including underwear? Can't some of this stuff be abstracted or automated, like showering? Its nothing new for games of this type, but that's why normally games like this include cheats.

The bigger issue is on the technical end. The resolution is basically fixed, and I had to max my resolution and stay in a window to see everything. I gave myself some extra money and went shopping, but couldn't buy clothes because somehow it read my money as negative, even though I could purchase other things like wine without issue. I went to the bank to deposit some money, but couldn't input the amount, nor could I do more than one transaction.

All of this is obvious right from the beginning, the game needs some polish before it can be called finished. Its a shame too, because there was a lot of work put into this. The video section alone has a ton of content, and there's even sound, a rarity in a game like this. I'm more disappointed then anything, I actually like games like this, I just wish the author took the time to make a good first impression, instead it feels more like a low-effort flash game on Newgrounds. I'll probably go back and power through it, but the score I've given this reflects my initial impression.
