I have to admit, I was very skeptical at the beginning due to the extremely poor translation (doesn't even get the pronouns correct, not just conjugation, but the gender can be completely messed up) however you generally know what is going on, as well as the low resolution images. But it is actually a surprisingly good effort (more VN than game as there aren't a whole lot of choices, there are a few), but there are a couple hours plus of content (hard to judge completely accurately, I did hold down skip through a lot of it, but also a few quick smoke breaks) which surprised me, since I kept figuring "it has to be done by now", only for yet more scenes and story to appear. And actually the story went places I had no idea it was going to go based on my early impressions and has more depth than one would guess at first.
Definitely worth playing with a few caveats:
Definitely worth playing with a few caveats:
- If Bi/Gay themes bother you (specifically dude on dude) you won't like this. There are definitely dudes giving other dudes head, anal love, and the like. It's not the focus, the protagonist is a chick that mainly bangs dudes and that's most of the scenes, but some of the dudes in her life like other dudes.
- The CG is definitely low-res. It's scaled up a bit, but you can definitely tell it's like 640 or something, especially if played full screen.
- There is a bit of wonkiness and bugs you can run into if you get too creative and wander into places out of order. It will throw everything off and you'll have to reload. You pretty much want to avoid exploring too much and just go from point A to point B.
- Speaking of point A to B, there is no quest log or journal, so sometimes if you don't pay attention to the dialogue you might miss what you need to do. And everything including entrance/exits to maps is that flashing star, which can be confused with "oh that's a quest thing" even if it's just the entrance to another map that actually has no relation to your current task.
- Significant playtime. As mentioned above, I'm a quick reader often skipping text, and while I did take some smoke breaks, my playtime is like 3 hours.
- Homegirl isn't just a stupid chick getting blackmailed into banging old guys like most (especially RPGMaker) corruption games. While there are some things going on, she definitely is more of a "sexual awakening" type of girl who does things because she wants to.
- The black guys aren't just "You stupid white slut, no one can resist my BBC and you will become my slave begging me for my cock" as they are in most of these games.
- The swinger/cuckold fetish is portrayed in a different way, and yes if you get a bit further into the story there is technically *gasp* NTR (incoming whiny-insecure-F95-neckbeard-shitstorm) but it's the NPCs around the protagonist that run into it because of her choices, it isn't "OMG the paperboy is a guy and he delivered the paper, OMG another Eric." that is usually seen.
