Heya,
I have played the game.
Did the dev live in a country where the police violence is authorized ?
I'm pretty sure that when a police officer beats a suspect, there is a mistrial and the suspect must be released immediately.
I'm not a fan of that kind of start.
And then the woman who comes in and says: "He's not a bad guy, forgive him" and just before, she said: "let him have a little fun". Seriously, Bitch?
That gorilla, bitch, and Hank should have been fired!
Why the MC didn't call for a lawyer?
We have the famous: "What am I thinking, she is my mother!", and that's funny because just after that, you can go into your half-sister's room and take away her pantie.
The MC seems to hate his mother (I hate her too but not for the same reason). Something important would have been asking her why she abandonned/didn't care about him.
I'm sad to say that but the MVP in the family is currently Tony.
And why we can make choice about other characters than the MC? I really don't have a good feeling about that.
I also wondered where we were. A lot of characters have japanese names, but you still have a Tony or a Dylan.
The game throws a lot of massive bad shounen clichés at your face. It's almost unbearable. You even have the coach with a little secret smile on his face when he saw a good volley player...
The game warning " all the characters are over 18 " is completly fake, because the MC said he was 17, and I think his half-sister is younger, so...
I saw the tag "harem" but there are too much guys in that game for that. You can even see one of them getting a BJ. Why the dev showed us that? Pretty sure you will have the choice to share your girls with them later...
And I saw a lot of "Yeah, the father is dead" thing, but Tony is a step-father, so what?
The overview speaks about a serie of murders, but the game itself doesn't give a shit about it. or maybe, it will later, but in that case, the overview is a big spoiler. What you read in the overview should be in the prologue of the game.
Finally, the game is too heavy for just this content. The dev didn't compress his pictures before include them in the game? There are websites like "tinypng" if it can help you.
My humble conclusion is: the game must be redo entirely:
The dev wanted to show a fearsome cool MC but it failed (MC's thoughts just show that he has absolutly no clue of what happening in his life, you can't feel any confidence from him)
The mother is just thinking about being fucked by Tony instead of asking questions to her own son, like :"How was you life? What did you do?" etc... Just an embarrasing dinner where she even forgot the fucking wine and that's all.
The half-sister is just a classic manga jealous idiotic tsundere girl. The scene where they meet her friend on the way of school is the ultimate proof.
The volley scene was way too long and stupid by compiling all the possible clichés from a sport anime, all the new characters were forgettable (you just remember the "tomboy", the "bitch that the father is the best donor", etc... and special mention to that tattoo-type girl who's smoking, nammed "Raven")
The "find the key" moment was totally useless because there was no reward for it, except continue the story.
The plot of the game is totally misplaced. You catch the player's eye by the serie of murders but you just see the MC's boring new life.
The restaurant scene came out of nowhere, because it was early morning and it's normal to have no custumers, that's why restaurants are not open at that time.
Anyways, clearly not my type of game, I have a bad feeling about it. But I still wish good luck to the dev.
