Believe it or not I am old enough to remember playing Myst...I think it was the first game I ever played. This game is similar in how you move around and it is also similar in other ways. There is a mystery to be solved (though no real puzzles like Myst had), and there are gorgeous, willing girls to have sex with just like in Myst (just kidding). I played v0.4a through to the stopping point. Here are my positives and negatives.
Positives:
Positives:
- Once you get used to the mechanics it is very nicely streamlined and easy to use.
- If you don't mind the somewhat "cartoon" look of the females (and I didn't) they are nicely rendered.
- The sound is done well overall.
- The relationship building with the girls is nicely done, as is the evolution of intimacy.
- The mystery plot is interesting.
- Sex talk. This is the opposite of romantic, and I just think with the quality story and the well crafted personalities of the characters it is disappointing that the dialogue during sex is straight out of a bad porn vid. Don't make me care about these girls and then during sex talk to them like objects or cheap whores. You can still have sexy dialogue without sounding so degrading.
- Money shots. Again, like a porn vid where we have to watch cum pouring out of pussies...even zooming in and focusing on the cum dribbling out. I'd much prefer sexy eroticism to these gynecological closeups.
- Obvious typos like life/live etc. There are not too many but they really stand out because most other dialogue is well done.
