Good game. Terrible monetization practice.
The game follows a story of a human woman who comes to a place called Lyndaria on boat. She is looking for her father. The story flows through her adventures on the island with the native locals who range from humans to other anthrotized beasts.
The story is fine. A little bit rushed in some cases. But overall it is a cohesive story with a naive female protagonist getting into sexual situations. Just with more non-human sausage.
Art is gorgeous. Animations are great. Really impressed it also runs so well in the Unity engine. Sometimes Unity devs can't manage to get the resources for it down pat and its unoptimized so my hardware starts taking off like a jet engine. But this game runs great and very low intensity.
Now for the elephant in the room. ALL explicit sexual scenes are locked behind a paywall. This is fine. In fact welcomes. But this still applies to even older scenes in the game. Its not like other devs were they may have a period of time where the patreon people get first dibs and later or in the next update they release the previous paid stuff for free. No its all locked out. This is the biggest hit to the game. Its a thing that actually turns me off from subbing to a project because how am I going to know the quality of the actual sex scenes if they only give a teaser and the REAL reason someone is playing the game will perpetually be locked behind a subscription wall. Makes no sense. At that point you should just finish the game and release it on like Steam. It just smells of trying to pump sub numbers.
I would gladly up this to 4 if the dev starts following that release schedule. I never condone people just leaking the paid stuff. And unlike other people that claim "leaking is the best" that just need everything for free, I actually sub to projects I enjoy. But this makes me not want to. There's a balancing act for monetization you have to strike when in a sub model. And this isn't it.
