Whelp, that kinda ended in an awkward place. Been playing the game for the last few days - it's the sort of thing that tempts me to write a ridiculously long essay, but since that's no use to anyone at this point, let's just say: thanks for making this; it's so refreshing to for a change play something else than RenPY or Twine. And something with clearly a theme to its content going on that's not all too common on here.
There's really only one thing I originally wanted to go into; but there is one more I should at least mention. Despite what I'd say was a reasonably thorough examination of the island (on balance, a disappointing experience) I somehow managed to miss the mining robot. I didn't think that'd be a big deal since you can convert chemicals so long as you keep your rubber/metal balance on a level that you can keep converting. Ie, as long as you aren't an idiot. Which ............. yeah, I was an idiot (in my defense, the resource amounts are hard to see when crafting). I then did find the mining thingie, but unfortunately, right at a quest where Yukari wasn't available (which I couldn't finish because I didn't have the resources).
Obviously I cheated then; technically, it's no big deal. But it'd probably be good if there were some bulletproof ways to avoid soft locking yourself like this. Or at least mitigating the chance; possibly by hinting at the mining thing being somewhere or by adding some other "out" aside from cheating.
That's just that minor thing though; what I really wanted to say is ... the writing. Argh. That borderline hurts. So much of it is so bad, and that's before going into all the typos. I just find that depressing - aside from maybe watching the sexy animations, most of what you do in the game is reading the dialogues (and some other text here or there). And they are very clunky, sometimes downright bizarre, and, again, have all sorts of typos on top. I know, it's kinda pointless to say "write better" because nobody writes badly on purpose, but this is (in my opinion of course) such a critical flaw it basically makes everything else negligible ...
I'd have said that I had some fun anyway; there at least were some creative scenes and here or there an interesting bit to discover. But, to wrap this up back to the beginning of my post - the
plot point really soured me on the game. I don't know whether it's meant to be serious or just porn nonsense, but I found it borderline disgusting. Honestly, if there had been a "nuke the base and leave the planet" option I'd have picked that - I guess I'll have to use my imagination for that.
So, yeah, shame to ultimately end on such a sour note, before then I'd have said, yeah, sure, it's flawed, but worth a look anyway. Now though ... naw.
ps: I did see and fiddle a little bit with the modding tool. Kuddos for including that; wish more devs would do something like it. Though Flash is a ... curious choice ^^;
