Short Review: I have avoided html games like the plague for the past... few years. I associate them with low quality and being a waste of time. Has this game changed my mind about that?... No. However, it is fapable, but probably only once. Also there is a lot of reading to do, and quite a bit of grinding without cheats (but it is manageable without). For fans of the genre, I recommend. For those who typically shy away from html games... it's a toss up. I'd put this at the bottom of your play list.
Full Review:
Recently I've found myself in a position where I seem to have tried most of the good stuff available, so I figured I'd try something different. I searched for "real porn" games and found one with high ratings that matched my kink preferences (trying to give the genre the best chance of success). Overall I did enjoy the experience, but I likely won't be coming back.
Firstly, this game very much leans into the "novel" side of "visual novel". There is so much text, and realistically it is necessary because when you are using real porn, you can't make the actress do what you want or have the facial expression you want. You have to select clips and write the story around them. However, real porn doesn't really have a ton in the way of story, so you have to make up for that in writing. It's okay. It just BARELY works, imo, and that's not a great default starting place.
Then, the gameplay mechanics are.... tolerable. There is a lot of repetitive actions, and a lot of gameplay choices that don't make sense. Example: later in the game you can go out for public sex anytime in a ~6 hour window, but early game you can only go shopping at a specific time of day (8:50AM), and clothes shopping is the way the game progresses. To get from clothes level to clothes level, you have to seduce (lewdly or lovingly) your woman (mom, tenant, aunt, whatever you want her to be), and you do so by making dialog choices that vary by time of day. Usually it takes a week or so to get from one level to the next so you repeat a LOT of dialog.
Then, the H content itself. It's porn, right? And the dev chose an actress that has had a very active career, so there is plenty of source material. Again, "it works". I find the actress to be attractive, and the dialog written during H scenes is good quality, there is just a part of my brain that keeps reminding me that these are clips taken from something else.
Anyways, that's sort of the theme of my experience: "it works". I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could. I understand I'm out of my element, and I suppose I would technically recommend it under certain circumstances, so I'll round up to 4. It feels like "a good html/real porn game", I just don't know if I would often recommend that genre to anyone in the first place.
