HTML - Millionaire [v0.2a] [Deep Spirit]

Reviewing 0.2a:
I get it's an early version, but I expect a bit more from a dev that already has one (in theory) completed game under their belt.
I don't understand this obsession with changing pornstars names these days, specially when in variables you still refer to them by their stage name instead of whatever chatgpt came up with, if you're aiming to remember the character by the model name, you can't expect players not to do the same, making the whole name change useless.
181 pictures and 31 models on the photographer job and you can't get past the first, you get stuck in an infinite get back loop, and if you try to break free by some tool like using the taxi, next time you try to do it you won't only get stuck, it'll also be a wrong model since for whatever reason it stores the previous state you were in with the same model.
Having a friend pay you to rape women isn't CNC, that's just rape, the first C stands for consensual.
Even random scenes with passerby characters are broken, it goes from playing nothing (I'd assume it's not implemented but then why include it) to a straight out error.
For a game that really tries to push it's budget fight club personality down your throat, it sure as hell doesn't make a good impression when fights are broken (buttons don't reappear after first use), and both locations related to training do literally nothing.
I don't mind outlandish as a style, but here it feels more like a clutch for not having to think too much about development, dev wanted both jasmine jae and cherie deville as moms, instead of coming up with a reason it's just like that because why not, but it's not a consistent theme elsewhere in the game.
Only characters you're forced to meet are the mc's family and the rapist friend, yet you can't interact with anyone from the family outside of the "swimming trip" with cherie, they're there as excuses to bloat more random images in different contexts and feed those pesky change logs with "added 69 trillion images" lines.
Game feels sluggish, making the objectively useless grind (since later events are bugged) even more of a hassle. And before anyone (particularly the dev) sways this away as nothing, I'm not playing on a laptop, and I can assure you it's not a hardware issue, I've tested a lot of html games, only 2 of them felt sluggish and slow, this one and "to be sigma", "a lot of code and videos" isn't a valid excuse, if anything it says the code is bad.
It's not a fun experience to play, I genuinely don't know how most of these core functionalities aren't tested by the devs before release, or hotfixed asap, I will say that at least UI looks decent and it's sorta trying to do something I guess? Feels like it needs some more time and a hell of a lot of feedback to be worth playing, if you play this please join the discord and report bugs/give feedback as you go, because I can say from experience you won't want to go back in to report anything once you give up.

This clown actually has QUESTS meaning content behind a pay wall for a MODEST price of $10...this is nothing more than a money grab. I can a cheat menu behind a paywall, but not quests. This is pure garbage until he changes that little BS

Clumsy, lots of errors, story is done in three "days", bad UI, horrible map, sluggish, stupid grind, too many extra clicks to do simple things, game not ready for even "demo" release. Should never have "paywall" stuff up before game is really ready to explore.

Don't waste your time on this.

Review as of 0.1

The good:
- "Random" encounters
- Decent choice of women
- For being a 0.1, decent amount of "content" even it's mostly random women.

The Bad:
- After the intro you don't see the other girls again.
- Story is pretty bare bones.

The ugly:
- Zero content with family members outside of intro.

Edit (changed review score):
v0.1b already locking content behind a paywall. Avoid this shit like the plague.

To understand the game you should give the devs other game and the banner a closer look. Like in his other game there is a dark path (rape) and a good path (fighter) and characters representing this duality within MC's household. Here the evil bitchy stepmother and on the other side the friendly, caring mother - the father and brother also appear to be on the dark side and I guess his many (step)sisters come in both flavors. The game is in a too early stage to be rated properly. There is a large open world which is still mostly unused and aside from the main quests little guidance to the functional parts like dojo, gym or available jobs. Also some parts seem to be buggy (photographer job after 1st session, some missing pics in the generic NPC sex mechanics). The large world is promising and would be 4 star rating but the little content / usage would be a 2 star rating. It's okay to play the intro but otherwise I'd recommend to give the game a few releases to grow content and story wise.

First of all, if you've played any other HTML game promoted on this site you'll know what you're getting into immediately. Incrementally grinding stats, managing resources, improving relationships, and trying to use time efficiently. Oh and the occasional porn clip.

The gist of the story is that you are part of some weird abusive reality show of a family (that I will get into later) but you get into a street fight trying to protect a friend that leads to you getting knocked the fuck out and put into a coma for a few weeks. When you wake up the nurse tells you that you have a brain tumor and you'll die soon unless you get this really expensive surgery. Hence the title "Millionaire" since you need to be a millionaire to get this life-saving surgery. Your character decides the best way to save his life is by becoming a professional fighter and thus you begin to train your body to that end.

There isn't much more to the story as of 0.1. The main quest sends you back to the friend who you attempted to save in the prologue where you two decide to immediately get into another street fight to beat some guy up. Which is a really smart thing to do for a guy who just got out of a weeks-long coma after getting into a street fight previously, right?

Anyway, as you can probably guess, the story and dialogues make very little sense. Plenty of broken engrish and characters that are nonsensical. This probably isn't the game for you if you're looking for a coherent story or characters.

As for the important part, most of the porn clips in this game use actresses you've probably seen before so no surprise there... but there are a few unique ones. I myself hadn't come across the actress for Dorothy so that was neat. Aside from that it's all very generic.

However, as of this first release there are some pretty severe performance problems. I'm not sure what's causing it but every click involves 5-10 seconds of waiting for anything to happen. This will get significantly worse in fights. Frankly it's made the game unplayable. I would not recommend this game based solely on the performance problems.

But I'm an incest enjoyer, so even though I could see the writing on the wall pretty early on I stuck through it. For a while, at least. I wanted to bang my sister - or at least the full-blooded sister because why even bother to play an incest game otherwise?

However, this shit makes no sense. If you put aside the asinine "landlady" relations and actually give them the right relationships... it still doesn't make sense:

You have a father, a mother, and a stepmother in the same house. You have an older stepsister and a younger stepbrother along with a younger sister.
Is this some kind of fantasy world where poly relationships are normal? Why does the father have (presumably) his wife and his ex-wife in the same house? Was he fucking both women at the same time for 20-odd years? Because if you have an older stepsister, a younger full-sister, and a younger stepbrother... that means the father was alternately fucking both women, right?
Unless the stepmother brought in her two kids from a previous relationship... which still doesn't make any sense since he would have had his own family with two kids already.
It's established pretty early on that the father is a total abusive dickhead, so was he just raping his ex-wife (your character's mother) to conceive your younger sister? After all, she had to have been born after the older sister and after your character - two kids from two different women. It's never even established why your half of the family is even living with this other half of the family - since they all treat each other like dirt.

Frankly it makes no sense. Besides - what's the point of even having a "step-family" if you're going to have a full-blooded family alongside them? People who like incest won't like the step-family and people who don't like incest won't like either family! Who was this game even intended for? Not for me, that's for sure.
