Unity - Completed - Love X Crotch X GYM [Final] [奶油貓工作室 / バター貓スタジオ ]

This game's mechanics are a troll. Sex builds less likeability than getting the bonus score on the minigame and has negative stat penalties, and even getting the "skip the bullshit minigame" item gets a lower score than doing it manually and getting the bonus - which for the simon says minigame is cancer, and for the rest is still a waste of time. The pixel art animations were half the reason I downloaded this but they're worthless so far, nothing beyond a quick loop / no sex minigame.

The game's main story scenes also don't keep up with your progress, e.g. walking the milf home after already having gotten her to smash and it doesn't unlock any scenes. Very minimal scene count.

Game is a big mess of wasted potential, decent base but it could have been great with some effort put into making the story a bit less linear and adding more H content.

It started off with a gorgeous CG art, however the plot and story lacks a fundamental goal in it. You were given a time limit to manage a gym, however MC technically doesn't have a goal. All the girls in this game is just because they came upon him. MC is a guy with no initiative and also a people pleaser, unfortunately you as a player are being forced to know every single feeling and nuances he is experiencing. It gave off a VN experience, but it's a very slow progress because MC personality.

Gameplay are absolutely garbage. The main problem is the random appearance of the female characters. There are instances where you need them in specific part of the gym, despite you clearing the other prequisites they might not show up at all for a long time (Which affect the ending).
Minigames generally are easy except for one memory game, it's obnoxiously hard to do, it's impossible to improve or get better at because it's not a skill based game.

CG Art are gorgeous, VA is amazing. However, the Pixel art are too small in size. Reason being the triggerable H Scene and the only animated ones are Pixel ones. It kinda butchers the very purpose of doing H during gameplay.

You can feel the game forcing you to "play" the game to advance the long narrative. Neither the story is compelling enough nor the game is fun enough to go through, very quickly it became a stale repetitive chore. It's only beauty are the expressive CG Artworks, which you will come by after pages and pages of narrative that goes nowhere.
