Review for v0.25, as of v.027 it still stands though the update seems to be of lower quality.
I wanted to like this game so very, very badly. And you know what? I kind of did. However, the game needs serious work (And some minor corrections on spelling and capitalization).
First and foremost, the entire time I played the game, it felt like the game was actively fighting me on doing things. We get the ability to dominate minds fairly early on, and the game instructs us to use it, and then we basically never get to use it on our own again after that. The game keeps talking about how we're going to use it, but then actively prevents us from using it so that the plot can happen. It felt really unnatural, especially when you find out months have passed during the course of the game. You're telling me, in those months that have passed, we haven't found a single minute alone with certain characters where we could have used our abilities? This kept drawing me out of the game. This is probably by far my biggest issue with the game itself.
The sex scenes are also a bit problematic. As a couple other reviewers have pointed out, the scenes being 2 images more or less, and just spamming the action button to alternate between them until the scene is done. Poorly mixed in sounds just adds to the disappointment.
Finally, everything continuously being locked off from us for the longest time also felt odd, and artificial. The character himself constantly comments how he's used to sneaking around and doing stuff, but we cant do any of that (with very few exceptions) to bypass some of the limit.
On the other hand, I enjoyed the combat, and the story itself is great, which redeems the game into getting two stars rather than one. I want to see this gem shine, so here's hoping its creator puts some work into polishing it up!
