I want to like this game. The art is fairly good, the writing is decent, and you can tell that the developer put a lot of effort into it.
But the core gameplay loop is honestly pretty boring.
You go to one of the areas on the map, "Search" the area, where you might find something or not. If you find a monster, defeating them is a simple matter of figuring out which of three attacks that particular type of monster is vulnerable to and just spamming it while blocking their attacks with a quicktime event. Beat that type of monster four or five times and you can go back to your base for a sex scene that you may or may not be into, then head back out to find more monsters.
That's about it. There's a story involved, but to my it's not compelling enough to grind through the repetitive battles and time-consuming searching the area.
As a VN, this would probably be great, but as a game, it's just underwhelming.
