I will be harsh to this game, cause honestly it deserves it and can take it. As the most popular game on here, I think it is very, very overrated. It has alright graphics, but for a game, that's not everything, especially not for a porn game - you're never gonna beat the graphics in LifeSelector.
I will also admit that the game got me really disappointed and frustrated, to the point where I don't even wanna play it after 3 in-game days. I know, that's a bad thing for a reviewer to do, but I think that this sums up my feelings about this game pretty well. I've played significantly more amateurish and half-baked games for significantly longer.
Firstly, this game really deserves a "retarded protagonist" tag. Cause my god, is he thick. He's an idiot in the prologue, he's an idiot in the beginning of the story, and he's being an idiot as the story goes along. He's the dumbest protagonist I've seen. He's so dumb that whenever the basic sandboxiness gave me some illusion of control, the game immediately and brutally ripped it away.
A few words on the illusion of control. For it to exist, there needs to be either enough player choice choice, or enough ambiguity, for the player to project their feelings and desires onto the MC. The player needs to either be able to largely behave the way he wants to behave, or whatever happens in the game needs to be either uncontroversial enough, or ambiguous enough, for the player to be able to interpret what happens in their head and relate to it. You don't want situations where a player wants to behave differently, but is not allowed to. Welp, that happened to me in this game literally all the time. I just don't wanna do what the protagonist does literally all the time. He's too stupid. I just can't relate to that amount of stupid. It's too frustrating.
This game has terrible navigation in its sandbox mode. You need to look very very closely to find things on the map, the various navigation options on it are not highlighted in any way whatsoever. The corridors, interactive objects, and so on, are also not highlighted, making every action into a game of highlight hunting. It should never be so difficult. The author can take a tip from like, literally any other sandbox game, and make the interactive objects stand out through either different lighting than the rest of the scene, obvious buttons on an otherwise plain and underdetailed map, or similar.
The plot, well, what little plot I gathered from this game before ragequitting, is terrible. MC has a pussy magnet the size of Alaska, and every girl wants a piece of him except the teacher, however, MC is too dumb. This is honestly the worst example of "pussy magnets" I've seen in a game, at least other games try to pretend that MC has some merit to him that attracts girls, even if he doesn't.
This is also the worst way that you can accomplish a "slow burn" in a game of this type. Slow burn generally comes from character development and exploration of a relationship. It should not come from the MC being just too fucking retarded to look around and recognize that every girl on the planet wants him and from every girl having to push past his stupidity to get a piece.
And if by any chance you're into it, and wait for updates, well tough tits, you gonna have to settle down and wait. Updates here are most definitely not frequent.
I did not have any major expectations going into this game after reading other reviews, but by god did this game manage to disappoint me harder than I ever thought possible. I don't get why it is so popular.
