This is a really good example of how to make a "Visual Novel" game, I really enjoy this story and love how you can pick who you want to pursue and in what fashion. You can either pursue them in a Love or Submission fashion, I know right, never would have guessed that. I think the game should have been called Love "or" Submission considering the best scenes make you follow down one path. But maybe you can somehow play in the grey area and try to get both, perhaps make one girl the love and the other submission? No? Maybe that doesn't work considering if you make the wrong choices you will fuck everything up. Ah well, the story is linear to a degree but like I said depending on who you're going after, various scenes will change and options to fool around with the characters will open up. Great way to get people to play this game multiple times.
Let me list out what I like about this game to get it down on this electronic paper. One, you can replay this game multiple times and just pick different paths to see where they lead, as I said. I like that design cause even though you know the overall story up to this point version 0.06, certain things and events will change with every play through, brilliant design choice. Two, traveling between locations and the world map. Veqvil uses the imagemaps pretty good in this game, I like how you just scroll your mouse over the scene and if you can go to a location it will be highlighted. Move your mouse over the Bathroom door and you can enter the bathroom if you click on it. Simple, makes sense, much better than starring at the bottom left corner and selecting a fast travel icon with a hard to see mini bathroom on it. This way of navigating the world allows you to actually look at the image you spent hours rendering, let me soak it in bro, do you really want me ignoring your render to look at fast travel icons? This game does it right.
Moving on to number three, Hidden objects in the world, nice touch Veqvil, although it did have me frantically waving my pointer all over the screen looking for them you bitch. If I didn't follow the walkthrough on my second go around I would have quit this game. Also the world map is nicely done as well, I do hate however when developers put in locations that you can't visit, stop doing that, just leave them out. Four, the models in this game look absolutely stunning in my opinion, they have some nice curves on them but not too outrageous that it takes you out of the game. Bravo for bringing the booty game to the ladies, clap clap for real. Five, it's a good read, like I said I enjoy the story, it's pretty good and not too heavy, although it does have a serious scene in it that cut way too close to home for me.
Now what I don't like about the game. I hate having to use a walk through in order to see everything. If you don't use a walkthrough you will most definitely feel you are missing out on something cause you did something wrong. That's not a good feeling to have. I think the game will let you keep trying until you get it right but you will get frustrated and just say fuck it, tell me what to do. Which is fine considering what I said before, the game still has replay value since you can choose different girls to go after/pursue. Two, those damn hidden objects, good lord did you have to make them that small Veqvil? What is that like a 5 pixel by 5 pixel hat? Nobody will be able to find that hat without a walkthrough you sick bastard. Three, not really a negative on the game but that whole hospital scene is actually pretty damn accurate to what happens in a hospital, it brought back some horrible memories for me and you nailed it. Sleep, wake up, go to hospital, drink coffee, go home, repeat. Shivers, I hate the hospital. So glad you didn't stay there too long, I have a feeling Veqvil has visited a hospital once or twice in his life. Too accurate for my liking. Where are the sexy/slutty nurses man, this is a porn game not General Hospital! lol

You will most likely replay the same story beats over and over but it will feel different each time cause each time you'll be pursuing someone new. Having multiple girls and multiple stories to follow with an over arching story above is a good way to make a Visual Novel game. You will enjoy playing this game multiple times but it does border on repetitive after your third or fourth playthrough. Good 'ol Tab. Oh and the Main Menu is well designed too, good job on that.
