Eh... I mean, it was a good game, a very good storyline, with mysteries creeping up here and there. Grandpa was a real villain, one that you can't help but murder in your imagination. Most women here were quite sexy. But, damn, the person who seems to be the main focus of the game for now, the granny, is downright unattractive(at least for me). Everything starting from the way her face contorts during scenes, to her various costumes, to her postures during the "lewd" scenes. Damn. Her storyline and dialogue is very unpleasant. Not to mention her eyes when she's looking at the MC, OH GOD, Dev please fix her eyes.
There's also the insane grind we have to do for money, it's either work your ass off for $30 or keep asking your "landlady" for money. There is also the $100 photography option with some sexy renders of that woman in dresses, but that only lasts so long. Making the items so costly ($1600 pool and $720 for camera, seriously?) doesn't help either. And all this grinding just so we can view a few lewd daydreams and H-scenes that have no penetration. The only penetration we do have is with the prostitutes in Green Lake(for $150, again an insane grind), which does not feel as rewarding as having a sex scene that is part of the story. I mean, it's v3 already, I was expecting some penetration by now.
Also, the naming system. Dev, I know you're trying to avoid incest implications, but come on, pretty much all our relatives and their friends are called landladies and landlords. The mom? Landlady. The grandmother? Landlady. The aunt? Landlady. The grandpa? Landlord. I mean, I could just apply the incest patch, but the game should still read well without it, right?
That said, the rest of the game is pretty well made and polished. QOL options like directly visiting your bedroom from anywhere on the map, the hint system, and the cycle is much appreciated. The rest of the characters are very well drawn, yes even the other older women. Bella's story is just *chef's kiss* and romancing her was quite pleasant. At the end of the day though, she's still a prostitute, and her only sex scenes are through money. The MC is sympathetic at sometimes and idiotic at others, but overall, a likeable protag.
In the end, 3 stars is what I give this game, but please feel free to try it out yourself. And Dev, keep up the (mostly) good work. Cheers
