Sorry for the wall of text, believe it or not I tried to keep it short & relevant, here's a short version
********************************
Contains general SPOILER type info too frequently to add tags (not specific events but general flow, maybe)
*********************************
(No spoilers in TL;DR, not even general stuff)
TL;DR:
-the characters are physically sexy & interesting, it was easy to 'feel' something for each character which is a huge part of what sucks me into a game
-the sex scenes are very well written, both dialogue & interactions of characters, it's all very spicy
-the humor is unexpected & always timed very well, but it's never jammed down your throat, it always feels right, when I lol'd it was true & endorphin inducing ever time, well done!
-the story is about very mundane average happenings But it's so well written that's what makes it shine, very relatable
-the pacing is one of the hardest parts to nail down in any adult game imho, too fast ppl qq it's a meet 'n' fuck, too slow ppl qq it's a slow burn, this title does it well, yes it fast in terms of in game time, but it Feels very natural to me personally
--such a small detail: allowing age selection & custom naming of the girls adds a metric fuck-ton of naughty, makes me feel dirty but I got over it quick enough >;D
This game is .........Just WOW, what originally got me to try this game was a fairly negative comment basically saying 'how could anyone enjoy playing a protag who was a weak person who let the girls tease & torment him the entire time'
So I read more comments, which were mostly rave reviews minus maybe pointing out a flaw here or there. Now I feel sorry for the user that made that comment & I'm thinking they didn't bother playing for more than 20 minutes, oh if that user only knew that the situation pretty much does a 180* lmao
-I Love how well the writing makes an average scenario (dude in mid years re thinking his existance regarding his boring life) into a Truly enjoyable story that any middle aged man would dream of (maybe not the daughters) being surrounded by young horny hotties.
- All aspects of the writing are Excellently done, some writers use 2 paragraphs to convey what would've been best said in 2 sentences & others try to convey an idea in 1 sentence that should've taken 3, Midlife Crisis has struck the Perfect balance = convey your idea in an accurate, clear manner while leaving out words that don't add any relevance.
-Engrish not included >;D
-Many games have humor written into the story but a great many focus too much on making the player laugh too often or because its attempting to be humorous so frequently the humor itself begins to lack, or sometimes it's not written in a way that feels natural & part of the story flow & true to that character's persona. Again Midlife Crisis does an Amazing job with comedy, as its blended in so naturally & when a lol moment is dropped on the reader it's usually unexpected & timed Perfectly which makes it gold every time, every Lol I got out of this gem was an Earned lol & genuinely got my endorphins going, Ty for that Dev >;D
-the pacing: is usually a topic I refuse to touch as at times we all want a game that gives us both; sex scenes fairly soon into playtime but we don't want it to feel like it lacks in non sexual content or sacrifices good plot for more sex. Again this title Nailed it, yes sex happens pretty quickly as in game time goes But to me personally it doesn't feel like MC is a manipulative deviant
*let me explain lol* the 1st time or 2 mc interacts with any of the girls it may feel that way but I look at it like he needs to break past that initial awkward feeling stage, meaning he's like "I gotta do what I gotta do to get 'insert girl name' to realize I like them & that it's ok for them to like me back...or not & I don't care who knows"
Once he knows they know his feelings & he's ok with the consequences he truly backs off the gas in the sense that yes he let's them know he wants them, but always says he's not cool with making anyone uncomfortable. This is my favorite type of harem game, one in which all/most of the girls know about the rest & even if they don't all love each other they're pretty much cool with it, one big fucking family gets me ery' time.
-The characters are all fairly unique in personality & all sexy as well, each girl invokes slightly different responses within me while sharing qualities with the rest of the girls, there's a maturity in many of them that I find refreshing & at times I find myself appreciating the writing even more. Feeling a non sexual attachment for a character in an adult game is another example of excellent writing
-This game NEEDS a gallery, this is pry going to sound funny but I want it for the dialogue within sex scenes as much as for the scenes themselves, for me the sexiness/looks of the models is less than 50% of the turn on, it has to have well written dirty talk within said scenes, which this game does masterfully !! The dialogue in the sex scenes is some Top Tier shit, very erotic when appropriate
I'm sure there's other things I wanted to write about regarding this game, if I have relevant info to add I'll edit, later I'll try to add this to reviews
