Recommended? Not unless you have the patience of the Dalai Lama.
Animations are decent for the most part, ranging from bad to pretty good, but it's always good to have them isn't it?
The length of scenes on the other hand? Short, too short.
Characters are diverse, colorful appearance-wise, maybe too colorful in some cases. Giant jugs or ripping, shiny abs that do not match the skin texture of the head/face, it could've been more...conventional, no denying the dev went overboard here and there, but it only applies to a couple of characters out of a fair number, most look fairly normal, and pretty good.
Speaking of numbers, the cast is fairly sizable also.
Personality-wise, they aren't nearly as diverse or colorful. They are fairly empty, one note characters, but it's not so terrible thanks to the kinky nature of the game. They just feel rather streamlined, and they get especially streamlined once they start getting corrupted.
The story is...well, mediocre. It's not trash, but it's no good either. MAYBE adequate for a porn game. But it's hindered by a problem (grind) I'll get back to at the bottom.
The problem with the story is that it's not exactly believable. For example, one character takes a 180° turn in her personality between two scenes for no reason, and stays that way. Because reasons.
Another example would be skipping the hugging/kissing parts in what appeared to be a vanilla-ish romance, and going straight for a handjob, because why not?
But what takes the cake: No porn movies in a Sex shop. Excuse me what the fuck.
The game is riddled with such behaviour, conveniences and bloody hoops which make no sense but you have to jump through them to progress anyway, which more often made me rub my head in my confusion, disbelief or annoyance than that other body-part I should've been rubbing.
On the upside, the amount of content for characters range from decent to quite a lot (excluding grinding), which would certainly make things a lot more enjoyable if not for the collective of every other problem.
Grammar and spelling mistakes aren't uncommon, and phrasing is somewhat simple, basic.
I'm particularly bitchy when it comes to this aspect, yet I did not find myself being annoyed enough by this to consider it a "ruined experience". Well, I did, but not because of this.
Anyhow, I'd rather not have a problem with it at all, but it's sufferable, not that immersion-breaking.
About music and sound effects: No music, period. Sound effects in Ch2 only, and only during scenes (moaning and such).
This isn't necessarily bad, but it sure as hell doesn't make the experience any better either.
Music can change the tone of scenes (sex included but not limited to) or help emphasise them.
Moreover, both music and to a lesser extent, other sound effects serve to occupy your hearing sense, which makes things more enjoyable. Lacking sounds, the experience just felt emptier, (even) less interesting than it could've been.
Gameplay (character development): It's linear and counter-intuitive.
The order in which you have to corrupt them is often fixed, for example: One character's progression requires an event from another character. But this other character's event requires stats from a third one...who can be only found in a bush behind a house at sunday morning...but only if you bought an alarm clock so you could wake up earlier than usual.
Because fuck you.
You often can't focus on whoever you want, it's not an open-world game where you can just run into people during various times/days and corrupt them in various, different scenes, then keep meeting then 'til they become your obedient little pets.
Order is decided, how far you can progress is decided, furthermore only one specific scene, at one specific location, on one specific day, at a specific time of day corrupts them, the other scenes are either unavailable, or a waste of time.
The game also makes you jump through hellish hoops you didn't know existed, which combined with the fixed order, the fixed "progression scenes" and the grind (below), makes the game a rather unpleasant experience.
Now this is remedied to an extent by the built-in walkthrough. However, having to rely on a walkthrough to progress should tell you things, it's not exactly good news.
The walkthrough doesn't just hint what you should do either, it explicitly tells you. Which may be welcome for some, but it takes out much of the "playing" aspect, not to mention it's a mass of spoilers, thanks to its layout (and the fact it's including pictures too).
And it's not perfect either. Remember I told you to progress with one character, you have to progress with another first? The walkthrough isn't unified, it's split for each girl, and sometimes it forgets to tell you that to progress with one, you'll have to progress with another first. It's also missing some steps without which you just can not progress. Good luck searching the forums for answers because you'll not figure it out yourself.
Finally, perhaps my biggest gripe with the game: grinding. It's unnecessary and honestly, it's mind-numbingly boring and tedious to the point I could crawl up the wall in my annoyance.
The thing is, to accumulate corruption/love points for characters, you have to do events with them. I.e.: Watching TV with a character. The problem is, you don't do it once.
No, that'd be fun, and we hate fun.
You do it up to 4-8 times in a row, as if the dev decided it by rolling dice.
Same bloody scene (same place, same time, same day), each rewarding you with 1 point, no other scenes available for that character for progression.
It's time-consuming and tedious even if you rest your finger on Ctrl to skip it all. How could anyone think it's a good idea is beyond me.
In the end, the bad outweight the good tenfold. I can't recommend it to anyone.
