    The only thing that takes away from the game are minor oversights in which character is talking (sometimes has MC/NPC confusion in dialogue) and spelling/grammatical errors. Also, the railroad storyline of the MC's participation in the storyline (why build up his hype then all of a sudden do a 180 and have him flop at a crucial point in the story?). Aside from that, well made.

    I've been following this project from it's early days. Played some of the first published builds, then some version around the start of S2, and now the recent build (1.10.1d).

    The visuals and the setting is really cool. The sandbox system is well done. General story is fine, the sex scenes are there...

    Bear's been quite busy and build a lot over the time, and they DO have my respect for that.

    So what's the problem, right? The content is there, right?

    Well, the problem is that some 80% of this content is shallow, generic and uninteresting conversations about nothing. There's zero progression in anything. Relations are non-existent. General pattern here is smalltalk->smalltalk->smalltalk->mission->"let's bang". Then everything is forgotten. Sometimes more smalltalk is available. And between that, there is neverending inner monologue of MC... and the levels of cringe are seriously of the charts there.

    There are like 4-5 interesting scenes, but the rest is completely dull and boring. There's no buildup, no excitement, no consequences. Just the constant babbling, even during sex.

    So that's it. The writing almost completely killed it. Sometimes less is more. 2/5 reflects the amount of the game that's interesting. If all the crap was cut out, it would become much smaller and even simplier, but at least it could be enjoyable.

    Whether accidentally or on purpose, this became more and more bloated with hollowness. Even the visual quality started to drop lately... Anyone who's attention got caught by the screenshots, I recommend just unlocking the gallery or export the images/clips. You won't miss anything.

    Once, I've considered Patreon support. Then I thought it's not going the right way, but let's wait and see. Now, I'm unwatching this thread.

    If Bear is honest about trying to make good games, I wish them well and hope they can learn from their mistakes. I really believe this could have been a hit. Maybe next time.

    Good game with magic elements. The renders are good and all the Lis are unique with different qualities BUT YOU ARE FORCED TO ACCEPT THE LITTLE ROOMMATE BECOMING A STRIPPER so 1 star it is. What is the point of having choices if you are forced into this shit. Season 1 writing was good but looks like they brought a writer with cuck fetish for season 2. one li is a stripper another tells you how she had an affair with your dad, another just went away.

    Review as of S2 v1.9.1d

    This isn't a bad game it just wasn't for me.

    The models and renders are good.
    The sandbox is actually pretty good.
    The animations are decent.
    And the worldbuilding is really well done to be honest.

    What I wasn't feeling were the characters really. I had an immediate dislike for Audrey and Vanessa but the rest of the LI's were also kind of meh to be honest. I'm also not a fan of if you want to avoid a fetish you ignore the girl entirely. But what really put me off was honestly the MC, I did not like the way he would act, react, or make decisions. Whenever he would do something I would think "Really Bro? I don't wanna play as this dude"

    Also some of the choices weren't really choices because it felt like you weren't able to actually stop some things.

    Overall not a bad game just wasn't for me so a 3/5 seemed fair. Wasn't bad but I didn't like it.

    The game is very good and it shows that a lot of work has been done to make such a rich plot. Renders are great, characters are quite unique and interesting so in that departments the job is well done.

    Also kudos for creating two regimes - nice touch to try and appease to wider audience.

    What I personally miss is unique kinks and fetishes of the girls, for now most of them are quite traditional and well-mannered. Although in the second season Amelia became much more interesting. Also Molly looks so amazing that she is a kink just by being herself.

    Still it's a five star game and I wish all the best to the creator.

    Graphics are great, girls and scenaries are really good. The way in what the relationships are or the way how they "evolve" are weird. Like a lot of visual novels, girls will love you without effort, you talk with a girl one time and now she is in love with you. Some of the sexual scenes are pretty weak, like when a girl is sleeping and the MC grope them, he practically undress the girl completly and does what he wants with them, and they don't wake up. People spying each other, people going inside a room and casually someone is naked.
    The MC is stupid, he trust in everyone when he knows nothing about magic and that world. Samantha tells to the MC that she can't share any info about the school, because they would be expelled, still she tells him how to pass the exam and without thinking he shares that info with "Hermione", a girl that he just meet, without knowing if he can trust her or what she would do with what you told her, so clearly he is stupid or he doesn't care about Samantha being expelled. Other stupid moments are at the start too, when they talk about magic, he is explained that the magic they use is not about cards tricks or anything like you could see in a birthday party, its something more, and all the time he is talking that he doesn't know any magic trick.
    The decisions have no impact in the world, just in your relationship with the girls, this is pretty kinetic.
    Romance to me sucks, I hate when a game is too cheesy and that happen in most of the times in games with romance and that happens here too.
    Animations are good and fluid.

    An above average pornographic reimagining of Harry Potter.

    This game has a very lovely cast and setting, it has some minigames that you may love or hate, it has some decent sex scenes with different character types, and *most* of it is above average fiction and done in the style of Young (naughty) Adult fantasy, which will probably appeal to you if you're on this site.

    However, there are two frustrating points about this game's writing. 1) The story mode forces you to go pretty deep into relationships with characters you're not attracted to, and slog through some repetitive romantic prose for the third/fourth/fifth relationship you didn't want. This isn't too bad or uncommon in virtual novels, but what was really offensive about the lack of choice in the story was...

    2) This game has the absolute fucking worst case I've ever seen of a character being dumb just to advance the plot in a certain way. Imagine that you found out a teacher you barely liked to begin with had tried to kill you. Would you immediately betray your patron wizard to trust his word and give him power, just because he told you: "sorry bro, but actually my attempt on your life was for your own good"? No. Fucking no one would. I've never had my immersion just drop dead in the middle of a story like that because of how lazily a plot went from point A to point B.

    ...But other than that, not a bad read, and the author doesn't appear to be a transphobe, so it's already easier to support than Harry Potter.

    Cheap harry potter porn simulator, except that the MC is weak wanker and the biggest simp. Choices in this game are just dead buttons they do no affect the story even by a little, just styled skip scenes button.
    Plus the poor writing, sometimes scenes just dont make any sense.
    Also for the lazy dev why would you split the fucking game s1 s2 its not like you release them as complete releases you just update it once in a while.

    This game is absolutely worth a try. The girls are great, the renders are high quality and the story is good enough to keep you interested (although I am pretty sure you will recognize the main source of inspiration for the setup).

    Another plus is that the game will leave you the choice of doing certain things or not, like sneaking into the girls' bedroom and harrassing them. The girls must be obviously drugged out not to notice someone walking into their room and groping them. However, doing this is not necessary to advance the story and you can keep it clean. And if you want to play as Sexoffender the Sorcerer a.k.a. The Magical Creep - you can go for it.

    There is a lot of potential in this game and I am looking forward to see how it evolves.

    milfs are the best
    the beginning is a bit boring but after the intro the good part begins
    the bodies look very real and toned, in addition to the drops of sweat that are observed, too real
    I will be waiting eagerly for the new update

    Super pleasant mechanics and solid characters. The world does indeed feel magic, and not in the typical clunky ways. A very good game, and the devs should be proud.

    My two compaints are the usual: English translations are a bit clunky and the characters suffer from some inhuman proportions. The proportions don't bother much, but it does have an uncanny valley vibe at times.

    There's a real lost opportunity here to have magic and sex combine to make the ultimate Hogwarts meets a red district style game. While the content this game provides is substantial, it severely lacks imagination. Vanilla sex and uninteresting dialogue choices take the lead in a world where magic takes a back seat. What's worse, the start of every day serves you up an eyeful of the protagonist's ugly old mug, creating this weird disconnect when you interact with the beautifully rendered models that appear more college adjacent in age.

    This game has a ton of potential, but it's spends the majority of it's time meandering and sidelining it's most interesting concepts for very little. It has enough to please every audience, but it spends most of it's time teasing you on the next vanilla sex scene. Are you going to get a handjob? What about missionary? Maybe we'll spice things up with a 69. This is a game where a spell could do anything, yet you rarely use your magic to do anything interesting.

    3 stars. Average. I can imagine a lot more.

    Good game with good story but sadly its gets worse with useless MC and side characters aka so called waifus.

    Mc is special and strong but when comes to do something he is like nope i cant do that or i cant stop that even after long long time we didnt see any cool epic fight you know like where MC finally does something nope nothing here.

    Waifus is little or more than little bad and boring other than few ones i am not even joking like they become so boring you wanna skip it and really few ones like new waifus is good but even sometimes they can become annoying and dont wanna even talk about Ashley because she is not bad character but she is wanna be stripper lol i have no idea why this is even exist here you gonna kick out from city within 6 months if you cant use magic yet you are wanna become stripper lol she thinks thats good and cool plus she was abused by father yet she wanna do something sexy dance thats weird for me i am not gonna lie.

    Story is only good thing here other than few waifus and side characters plot is good but in season 2 author forgot to do anything for me like theres no training time or cool duel fights even tournament is boring MC cant do anything he cant shine he only fucks fucks fucks nothing more and i know this is hentai game but still sometimes thats gets boring not gonna lie.

    Main villian aka big bad guy is unknown personally thats good but for lackey of that so called overlord is meh they just copy pasted from harry potter series nothing more personally for me we didnt needed big bad guy until end of second season but still thats not that bad.

    I dont wanna talk about deaths lol thats bad sorry thats was so stupid for me to take seriously.

    So this is good or worth to support ? Yeah %100 if you have spare few bucks or time you can play support if you want theres few things here to complain but thats not that bad its just annoying and mc need to be little less annoying personally i think 4 is fair vote for this Game.

    Great game to play :)
    I have been enjoying playing this game for quite some time and look forward to seeing it grow in the future.
    Thankyou for all the hard work in making it.
    Please keep up the hard work and don't go listen to anyone complaining about anything in the game, if they find a bug, they should report it, not complain about it.

    Lust Academy S2 v1.7.1d

    So I finished playing through the entirety of Season 1 and all of the available Season 2 content, and it's been a mixed experience. For ease of access, I will break down my review into some categories.

    Story
    The game's premise follows Harry Potter rather closely and is a solid mixture of interesting new ground while still falling into many of the same tropes you would expect. For example, the main character is incredibly talented and good at everything but also has unreasonably evil adoptive parents raising him that hate him for no reason. This includes the unlikable stepdad that goes from being a bit of a dick in the beginning to a cheating, abusive, and controlling father who sexually assaults his child because the writers weren't confident enough that you would hate him, so they kept adding negative traits to be sure. There's also the cruel and overtly sexual stepmom that hates the protagonist and seems to be down to bang him at a moment's notice, as is tradition. It is important to say that not a single choice you make in this game matters outside of choosing to have sex with a character when you reach the sex scene. They do an okay job of trying to hide this during Season 1, and you'll get a couple of screens of unique dialogue for each choice. They give up in Season 2, and each option only gives you one or two screens of unique dialogue before taking you back to the main path.

    The game starts to come into its own when it gets to the actual Wizarding School. I am a big fan of world-building and lore exposition, two areas in which the game excels. The problem is that the game promises the world and delivers almost nothing to you. Characters talk about how large and fancy the school is, but you can only travel to 4 locations and do things in 2 of them. There's talk about crazy parties, and you never see a single one. You are an ex-athlete with injured legs, and the game tells you how and where to fix your legs, but you cannot fix them. The story is the rough equivalent of seeing a beautifully decorated fancy cake in a TV Show and then realizing it was all fondant with nearly no cake. There is a town you can go to during the weekends as a reward for winning the weekly house tournament, but there's almost nothing to do there except a fishing minigame (For season 1), some non-canon character interactions, and watching one of two stripping scenes. Everything else you can burn through in one or two weekends.

    The same thing happens with a lot of the characters. In Season 1, you are introduced to about 20 characters; out of all of them, only about 6 have any actual substance, and at the end of Season 1, they write out 2 of the more fleshed-out characters and replace them with more side characters. You can finish a character's entire route by having two conversations with them or solving some problem for them. It also suffers from "Game Released in Seasons" Syndrome, where the character that got a single conversation in Season 1 receives an out-of-nowhere sex scene in Season 2 because they were popular. That would be fine, but there are only a few sex scenes in either season.

    Both the central plot and the character writing sound good on paper, but the writing is all over the place, and you never feel like there's any consistency. You can complete an entire character's route and find absolutely nothing of substance, or midway through a character's route, you both will uncover some horrific magical secret hidden for years and resolve it in less than 3 minutes. For Season 1, the central story beats consist of running a bunch of tasks for various students until one of the tasks involves you grabbing a powerful artifact for a shady teacher who decides at that moment to be evil and also totally possessed by an evil being called the Overlord. He tries to open a portal to the Overlord, but you stop him and unpossess him, and he reveals that he is your real father. Then Season 1 abruptly ends, and Season 2 begins, and they reveal that actually, the plan wasn't to open the portal to the Overlord but to have him suck the power of the founders of the school, and they are all currently trapped and need fetch quest items to save them. Also, your newly revealed father lives for 15 minutes before being killed by a different Overlord worshipper. All of this happens in 6 minutes, and the other 4 hours of the main story are slowly plodding along. The character quests are written the same way. You'll have 6 steps where nothing happens, then for step 7, a character will reveal their secret heritage or a systemic issue in the school system, and it'll be resolved by step 8. My favorite example would be rescuing a student's long-lost brother after he tried to escape homophobia by living on an island where he accidentally killed his gay lover. (It was all covered up by the school and his homophobic dad). After saving him, they never talk about any of that ever again. The character is just an NPC that replaces the NPC functions of the dead dad teacher. Nothing about corruption or homophobia or anything. It all comes out of nowhere and has no consequences. There's another section where dragon poachers are built up as a threat for an entire route, and it turns out to be one dude with a gun that you immediately beat the first time that you meet him by erasing his memory and then just leaving without even checking on the dragons the girl had been worried about. And that's it, that's the end.

    The main character also looks like the single most generic man to have ever existed, and in quite a few renders, his goofy expression will pull you out of the story. The MC is also a pushover; you can tell this man has never had a single thought in his entire life. He tends to believe what everyone tells him immediately, which takes him down several wacky misunderstandings, and crazy situations like becoming magically indebted to a teacher hinted to be malicious in exchange for a small amount of information that he knows isn't very important. Or the time he becomes magically indebted to an extremely shady cult in exchange for an item that would save the soul of their founder, something that directly benefits them.

    The best example of the type of storytelling in this game would be the special Christmas update. In the special Christmas update, the MC and several other characters are all transported to a magical cabin in the snowy mountains, where they encounter a woman who has been separated from her group in the cabin. In the spirit of Christmas, they decide to take her in. From there, you have several scenes with each of the side characters dedicated to minor encounters. For example, you bake a cake with one girl, which turns out poorly. You decorate, but there's some mild fighting. You can choose to build a Snowman or go take a bath with a Succubus. (The succubus bath is the only bit of sexual content with the main cast in this update and it is just the two of you awkwardly masturbating next to each other.) Fortunately, even if you picked building the snowman, you can take the bath afterward. Finally, at the very end of the Christmas update, you are alerted by the strange woman (who has not been seen or mentioned since her intro scene) that you are the reincarnated version of an elder god who has descended into this world and given humanity magic. She also says she was your lover then but that you couldn't find a body suitable for you until now. And then, out of nowhere, you start having sex with her as if to fill a quota. All of this in the last 4 minutes of an hour-long story.

    The Structure
    It's important to say that, technically speaking, this is a very well-built game. It introduces many different features that initially seem overwhelming, but almost immediately, they all begin to click for you, and it seems incredibly simple. You are given a calendar that tells you where each interactable character is and lets you teleport to them instantly. The menus are all clear and precisely built, so you can tell exactly where you are and what's happening. Everything feels crisp and nice. There are even built-in character bios to tell you exactly how far you still have to progress on each character's plot and let you know when it's over. The only major gripe that I have with the game is that the writing could be smoother, it feels machine-translated or at least translated by someone who isn't primarily an English speaker. It's nothing terrible, but it happens often enough that you will be lightly distracted by it, especially if you get invested in the story. Many strange word choices and half-sentences are scattered throughout the game, and they detract from the experience. I never encountered any game-breaking bug, occasionally, a day would repeat instead of progressing, and sometimes the models looked especially wacky, but I have no real complaints. The music they chose was excellent, and it fits the theme most of the time. However, sometimes it would just cut out and only restart once you interacted with a different character or finished the event you were on.

    Overall the biggest problem with the structure is that everything feels unfinished, like I'm looking at a first draft pushed out the door as fast as they could get it done. So many concepts and plot points are dropped or changed either because they forgot or didn't want to implement them. I know that the game isn't finished, but they are finished with Season 1, and many of the complaints I have are from the parts they claim to have completely finished. Altogether, it is an extremely well-built shell, but the issue is that it doesn't have anything of particular substance. There are no systems or minigames that are particularly complex or fun, and not a single choice that you make across the course of the entire game matters even the slightest bit. I realized this right away since I'm a completionist, and I prefer to see everything the game offers. I would make save states at each choice and pick each of them, and I would always see the exact same outcome, with maybe a line of dialogue changing.


    The Content
    Overall, I would label this game as a slow-burn type of game if the burn at the end was someone implying that they had a lighter. The renders are all done beautifully and are some of the best I've ever seen; the problem is that they never do anything with any of them. Multiple characters are given arcs that end in absolutely nothing, and even when you get to the sex bit, it feels like nothing has changed. Congrats, you finally had sex with this girl; complete ten more steps where she acts the same towards you as she did in the beginning, and maybe you'll get to feel her boobs once or twice. It feels more like they're writing off of a checklist and throwing in enough scenes to call it a sex game. Oh, this girl didn't get any scenes in season one, better give her one at the beginning of her route in season 2, and then after that initial one, nothing else for the rest of her route. It also doesn't help that the quality of the sex scenes does vary compared to how high-quality everything else is. Some sex scenes are well-made, and others look more thrown together than anything else, with strange angles and model contortions.

    As for the actual sexual content itself, if I was someone that loved incredibly tame and underwhelming sex with a hint of foot fetishism, I would be blown away by this game's content. It is all very vanilla missionary with the lights off style sex. Occasionally there will be a blowjob, but most of the time, it consists of stripteases, boob caressing, cunnilingus, and maybe sex. This holds true for nearly every character if the character gets any content at all. I am fairly certain the game contains more footjobs than actual sex, and there's nothing I love more than sitting through 2 hours of quasi-English dialogue to be rewarded with my 12th glimpse of boobs or 6th footjob. If you like feet, though, the game might be for you. I also did like how they let you sexually harass every single other person in your dorm at night for season 2 to make up for dropping a character from season 1.


    The TLDR
    Overall, despite all of the bad I mentioned, I can see why many people really like this game. It's creative, it's beautiful, everything is easily accessible and understandable, and the characters are all decently likable; it's also just a game with many flaws that include poor English and writing and lack of content. It's like getting a massive, beautifully wrapped Christmas present shaped like a car, but when you open it up, you realize it was just a very sexily wrapped motor scooter. Motor scooters are still dope, but when you trained me to expect so much more than what I got, I'm going to walk away disappointed.

    Overall I would rank it as an above-average game with a couple of major flaws, so assuming a 5/10 is average, probably a 6/10, maybe 6.5. However, since we use a 5-point scale and people treat things rated 3.7 as terrible, I'd give it a 4/5.

    MrJay

    (Review is for Season 2 v1.7.1d)

    I really used to like this game, it clearly has a lot of effort put into it with really beautifully crafted models and, very unusually for these types of games, the menus look pretty much professional-grade, really top notch.

    The problem is the game is just way too much of a slow burn. Do you like a particular girl or a particular thread of the story? Too bad, you'll be lucky if it gets revisited once or twice in a full year. And even then when you get content with that one girl that you've been looking forward to it's way too little and is over before you even get to enjoy it.

    Let me be clear I am not at all adverse to story-heavy games but the story in this one isn't particularly enthralling simply because it's all over the place. Suddenly new events spring up from nowhere when it already felt like we have more than enough going on and meanwhile some storylines are left untouched for 10+ updates at a time. It's impossible to feel engaged in what's going on when there's always something new going on that has basically no basis in anything that happened before.

    And the bad english really doesn't help at all. It's far from the worst I've seen but it's bad enough to constantly bother me and prevent me from trying to get into the story.

    Unless you're specifically looking for something incredibly slow-paced, stay away.

    Been playing the game for a long time now. And I gotta say I was pretty impressed by season 1. It wasn't boring or bland, the story kept me interested. The animations were lovely and the fact that i could choose who I spent time with made this game so much better. However, season 2 lacked in story and options. I began feeling like my choices didn''t matter and maybe it was never meant to be a "multiple ending" kinda game? Still, I wish it gave me the illusion that my choices mattered like in season 1.

    I got invested in this game because I like the characters, some of them feel quite realistic to me. And most are quite beautiful, as can be seen from the screenshots.

    There's a fair amount of content, including simple minigames which can be quite fun. I played the sandbox version which people seem to recommend.
    I don't like that the dev wastes time with the non-sandbox version, just pick one and stick with it.
    Another drawback is that one of the main girls has very little lewd content. But I was lucky that other girls whom I also like have good content, although I still wanted more :)

    If you take your time to enjoy the game (which you definitely should), episode 1 alone will take over 10 hours.

    I really like this game even though I'm not a Potter fan (haven't seen any of the movies). It was worth buying it on Steam too, to support development of season 2.
    Keep up the good work!

    Review for season 1

    I want to get into this because I think the premise is fun for an AVN, but I just can't get past the dialogue.

    It's bad. Part of it feels like a rough translation, but I could maybe get past that. However, I think the script itself is just flawed from the bit I've played.

    The MC has the worst of it. Do you approach random women and call them "sweetie, cutie, baby, etc?" I'd hope not, it's creep behavior. Seeing the MC do this makes me genuinely cringe. Combined with the random blurbs of his inner thoughts, I just straight up dislike the character we are playing as. Often, the choices we sometimes get in how to respond feel like they have no good option. His only semi-interesting plot point is that he's a "pureblood" mage or something. Well, you wouldn't really guess it. I don't feel like I'm playing anyone special.

    I found a lot of the events with the love interests a bit disjointed and almost random. As an example, one girl we meet doesn't like us. Two interactions later, she's grabbing our dick in class. I mentioned how it seems like there's a rough translation going on and this is where it really comes into play. Some sentences just read so awkward that it takes me out of the game. These characters aren't leaving a strong impression on me.

    As you can tell, I'm someone who values dialogue and writing. The game looks good enough, but you can say that about a lot of games on this site these days. Beyond the idea of attending a wizard school, nothing is keeping me interested enough to play.

    I will caveat this a bit by saying I didn't play very deep into the game. Maybe some of my issues improve and the story picks up, but my initial first impressions aren't that great. Certainly not enough to hook me into playing more.

    As per season 1

    this game is under my top 10 rn, previously top 5, altho there are just many other great titles I played, even ones thats not as beautiful as this game but fortunately have more solid contents so this game fall down in my personal rank. If this game is anybody first adult game they might have too high standard in term of arts and features cause this game riches in those aspects. I played this game from early version and just play it again and early on I'm not into some early LIs model introduced like samantha and audrey, especially samantha, and oddly enough they are like a pack. No, Its not that I'm not into lesbian stuff, their persona and background are great, I would so into that character in another game with that background, a sister like persona and a tough punk woman, but strangely enough not in this game. Tbh I don't even bother do their progressing in season 1 cause I'm just so uninterested, except when its mandatory to progress others quest, as if I can progress to season 2 and skipping their content i would. It's just samantha is like the first main LI to introduced so she's kinda like the game first calibre, she sorta set standard, but I personally not into her model which gave me quite skepticism to keep playing early on. Although the good part is the game has quite plenty of LIs which models are sooo astonishingly beautiful, like for me adele or molly. But out of that personal reason, this game definitely a great pick.

    Story 7/10
    Interdimensional magical fantasy world in modern era theme, a heroic mc with mysterious background to save the day and collect harem. The story right up my alley but at this point there's still lots of plot holes to unveiled. The story could benefited with some more humour and funny situation for more appeal by make uses of existed extra characters. There are plenty of moments where it can be more memorable with some fun or surprising twist, altho it doesn't happen unfortunately

    Features 7/10
    The biggest Mark boost come from the dual playstyle option vn/roam. It's awesome but also gotta say it's crazy because I believe it comes with drawback in term of development workload and development priorities. It can be clearly seen that free roam is not fully utilized yet, for example world map. There are only two freely accessible area which are school and campus while cordale is locked under event and that's it. With this only two point travel this world map become something too extravagant and unnecessary for now. Another example world map is not fully utilized is what happened to events in magic forest. Magic forest could potentially become a world map location, probably with more sub location in it, npcs/LIs, event, etc, but it's currently like cordale locked under events like lily event and the librarian event. Tbh the current sub locations could potentially disperse to create illusion of richer world map like translocate school parks, cafe, fishing shop, fishing lake, and many more, maybe create more sub locations to grouped with it, npcs, events, and the world map will feel less empty and unused. Other than that, this feature aspect justified by other extras the game offered, but personally I would prefer focus on main features of how the game delivers.

    Arts 10/10
    We don't have too meddle too much in this aspect cause this game arts just great, probably one among the best in adult games.

    UI 10/10
    another excellent aspect. Distinct UI, interactive extras feature like phone, interactive mini games like magic practice, potion making, magic duel, fishing.

    Adult content 7/10
    In term of quality, each scene arts and animation are great, it has decent duration and involve many positions, although I gotta give this much cause in term of quantity, with this much time, another game could offer much more solid sexual contents, but for this game, I'd say I can count how much adults content are there on the fingers of both hands. I get its justified with how hi quality the arts and probably the drawback of dual playstyle as well that end up eat up dev workload. The sexual contents are also lacking spicy dialog/monologue/narrative stalls which makes the scenes become even faster. The sexual pacing is just right and natural, in fact I feel like non of em are nymphomaniac alike, well maybe audrey given she's succubus or some sort tho I'm not sure since I don't progress her story. One great thing to pinpoint for me is haley bloody virgin moment which is rare to get actualized in many others avn scenes. While virgin may implies first time it's also originally implies that sacred untouched part. That bit certainly nice touch, altho no logical follow up to it like messier ending.

    Sound 8/10
    Nice bgm picks.Nice moan sfx touch, even tho there is no voice volume bar in setting which is odd where many other game has the voice setting bar but has no voice at all lol. Would've been perfect with more sexual sfx like flops, spurt, etcs.

    Overall good game. Definitely recommended. Tho I wish the game focus on 1 playstyle so the effort from creating another playstyle can be directed for more contents creation. I played another adult rpgm that the dev suddenly lost interest in the rpg aspect and create another game with same story only it's fully novel and to my own taste it's better, it has richer story and sexual contents. Definitely less game aspect but personally I played adult "game" for story and sexual contents as if gameplay aspect I really seek I would just play actual game.

    Maybe I ll update after play that season 2.
