Don't really understand why people are so amazed by this game.
Personally think the renders are several steps down in comparison to
the ones MuseX has made for dh and their own game Farmer's Dreams (rpgm version).
All the girls that exist in the original farmer's dreams somehow looks less amazing here. Like the fantastical beauty factor has been toned down a little. Eyebrows look weird, smiles look sharp and harsh. The same scenes that exist in both games are just not as well done here.
The story / writing in both games aren't particularly great. Most of the beginning of the game the mc is kind of a loser, and no choices available to you lets you escape humiliation. However, in the original game the atmosphere is done so well as you explore the world around you. And in general the world-building is quite well done, and content feels earned.
Here anytime you would f.ex go actually collect the chickens and explore the town, you instead just get flavor text like "You saw one chicken next to the lake and went to collect it..". It's just a lesser version of what they already made.
In this kinematic visual novel version of the game, all of the focus becomes on the art and the writing. The writing has never been top-tier and somehow the art is worse in this version, meaning it does anything but highlight how skilled I know this developer really is.
I could understand making this visual novel style version of the game, if it offered you a slightly more branching narrative than the original with meaningful choices, the art was as gorgeous as the original, and there was a bigger focus on character development. It could be a good way to offer much of what the original did, without the gameplay for those who don't enjoy the originals gameplay.
However, if anything the characters feel less developed, and the art feels downgraded. So, to me it doesn't feel like an alternative way to get the same beautiful art and story, but an alternative way to get a product of less quality.
Personally I love the original, and I really enjoy the gameplay that the original has. I think more adult games should be trying to be real games with porn, as to me that is the ultimate form of the media. However, the original is really buggy, and it's development has been really slow (probably partly because of the bugs). And it struggles with unclear instructions on how to progress the game.
Despite all of those issues I still think it's a much more inspired product than this. I can however see that some people would want to be able to skip the farming,, fishing and the rest of the gameplay. I feel sorry for those people that what they have been given is a lesser version of the game, and not just the same quality without the gameplay.
I hope MuseX decides to focus even more on making the original bugfree and complete. As I think that would be a truly unique quality game in the adult space. However, if they want to do stuff in this style, I hope they decide to work on their writing and add some more meaningful choices. + bring back the render quality they have in all other games I've seen them do the art for.
