    Standard clicker/idle game with 10 maids (you can only have max 8 at a time but the clicker reborn - called "prestige" in this game - allows for switching).

    Gameplay: well, if you know clicker games, you know the fare. The odd thing out in this game is that the maids earning the money are not in any particular order, you can hire any for the cheapest price and she will take the corresponding stats for this round.

    If you don't know clicker games: basically you click on one point (here it is the bar) to earn money. If you have enough money, you can hire girls to earn you more money, you can upgrade the clicking values or the girls so they earn progressively more money, but it also is progressively more expensive to do so (in short: it will take longer and longer to advance, all exponential functions but cost grows faster than reward). At one point you can restart, earning another currency which will allow you for further upgrades, so you can advance more and more, and so on.

    Warning: this kind of game is not designed to be binged or played through in one go but for on-and-off gameplay, letting it run in the background for an hour before returning, or just closing it and continuing the next day (income will continue to come in even if the game is down). If played without cheats and/or autoclicker, it will take you days or weeks to complete. From that POV it is a really slow burn.

    Story: you have 10 girls with whom you can have conversations or small talks to up their stats, you can gift them gifts and take them on dates to unlock four CGs. They look cute enough and have somewhat distinctive personalities, but there's no real choices or options, just slower or faster progress (depending on the answers you give in conversations, but they're giveaways, basically you have to chose between "I don't care about your opinion, stop annoying me" and "Oh, I am so happy to have you in my team, you are the best" - one she likes, the other she doesn't). Nice enough but nothing to write home about. The development is - apart from the long time it takes to play the game - pretty quick.

    Play: the clicker part is annoyingly buggy. You buy bonuses which are displayed but don't work once you restart. Or work but will show you they're not there. The balancing is off, bonuses you buy are too weak to keep you in game since they are often linear where they should be exponential. Pricing of the bonus currency and achievement rewards seem to be chosen at random. Worst: if you want to date a girl, you will need a shitton of premium currency as well. Getting all girls up without cheating is nigh impossible. Achievements are also of completely different difficulties - getting a high "bar ranking" is almost impossible in this game, where others are filled quickly and offer too much of a reward for that moment in time. Girl lewds also happen out of order.

    In the end two stars because at least it doesn't crash so technically works. With the bugs removed it would probably get up to three. Apart from the fact that I think that clicker games don't make for good lewd games, since rewards tend do be few and far between and you cannot really transport a story (this doesn't go into the rating though - if you don't want that, don't play an idle game in the first place), this is way too imbalanced to keep motivation up long term. It also offers too little variation.

    There are better lewd idle games out there. Admittedly also worse. If you're really into the genre, take a look, but it isn't good.

    While this has some cute maids in it as advertised, both the balance and tech are a hot mess. Pretty much every part of the game has severe bugs, from the UI to the achievements, to the level scaling. And even if it all worked as intended, it would still be a mess due to how poorly balanced it is and how fundamentally broken the design of the affinity system is. Seriously, having to check in every 10 minutes to get 2 sentences of dialogue with a single maid is insane. So is a normal prestige giving you only half the currency needed for a date.

    For people who want to try it anyways and enjoy breaking things, here are some tips:
    - use the achievement rewards to purchase click and total income scaling
    - do a prestige reset
    - focus on click upgrades until a single click gives you more than the upgrade cost
    - make sure to line up another prestige before breaking things too badly because depending on how you bug out the gold you can either get NaN gold which is effectively infinite, or Inf gold which is effectively zero.

    This gets more than one star for having decent art and being kinda fun to break.
