review as of v0.25 beta
Came into this game with zero expectations and, for the most part, was pleasantly surprised.
The girls all look unique, and for all of us who are sick of blow-up dolls this is a real treat.
The ability is well implemented where you can give someone a command, but then lose your ability to read minds for a short time. I don't think it truly matters, but it's a fun interaction.
Your choices are... tbh, I don't think they matter much. I had 2 playthroughs, one where I implanted a command in a girl, and one where I never affected her mind, and she always ended up in the same situations. That, and sometimes you are forced to make a decision that you may not want to, like putting a certain character under control (with a stupid command too) or use your ability when you would rather not.
This lack of agency is the reason this is getting 4 instead of a 5 from me, but other than that it's an interesting game that I would love to see more of.
