As a writer & editor of a couple VNs on this site, I have to say that this game is such a refreshing change of pace from the incest VNs. Don't get me wrong, I am writing incest VNs because I also enjoy them, but it's just nice to see this team making something so different. Much respect to the Pokkaloh team
(I haven't played your games, going to give them a try! ;] )
(also sorry for the wall of text, english is not my first language D: )
I agree wholeheartedly with you! :] . I think a main difference here is that the characters in this game have personality aspects/objectives that don't only circle around how they relate sexually to the MC. An exemple - Amelia is greedy AF; Lily has a nature-chick vibe; Noemi cooks/is somewhat value-driven about it. None of that leads to scenes where, let's say, the MC has just met them, and Amelia says "10000 gold for a fuck, darling" or "weapons, supplies or me?", where Lily simply springs up naively nude with some "This is the natural way what about a little fuck now that's also very natural" flavour text or where Noemi asks for three radishes and a gourd to masturbate with. Maybe it has to do with a little less "power" given to the player - he isn't some kind of Über-PUA/Hypnotist/Psych expert that makes women almost immediatly go "you are the best and only man in the world please don't leave me i'm completely obssessed with you own me master", like in many games (which was interesting at some point but has gotten pretty stale/overused :c ). There's also the characters other than the MC having interactions between them that don't have anything to do with sex/flirting (Lily/Amelia at the boat is an exemple - I seriously found that funny), which helps to give them some personality. They also don't sound like sex-starved people just begging to be taken by him, which helps too. General Pratcitioner does this tittilation/storytelling blending and pacing fairly well, as far as I remember, as well as Mythic Manor, IMHO. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I find it enjoyable, haha.
Also I think some tropes have gotten quite stale, shallowly used, or overused, like (1) "Ex-sex-fiend mum/older woman just waiting for a trigger (wink*dick*wink) to get back to the old habits", (2) "Sex-fiend sister/daughter/friend waiting for an alpha/owner", (3) "Innocent virginal naive sister/younger woman waiting to be corrupted/taught/groomed", (4) "Succubus Divorced Aunt/Cougar", (5) "Kinky hard-ass sex-starved seargent woman" etc, to the point where it has become kind of predictable. Not that nobody should ever use any of those, but they have been used too much in the same ways narratively. Even physically they vary very little. (1) is usualy a thicccccc woman, (2) either a supermodel-like body, or a "Suicide-girl-esque" chick, maybe with bigger breasts, always with some "sexy-lingerie" quest, and demeaning attitude (at first) towards MC (3) an almost-loli short flatter-chested chick, a chubby or D from DMD, (4) just like (1), but with less/more revealing clothing, even bigger breasts, and lewd attitutde; (5) a woman with glasses and form-fitting/revealing dress, authority figure, voluptous or more muscular, tall, generally dark-haired, and mean/dominant. :[
And Mozzoloh's "game" part(s) is/are actually enjoyable :] . I really don't mind the grind to get new weapons/rings/etc, as it is actually challenging/fun/interesting, unlike in some other games where you basically press "NEXT", grind for money with a click and make rounds on the map praying for the RNGod for a scene to trigger. It didn't? You made a very small mistake? Didn't have enough money? Didn't save often enough? Oh chucks, there goes three hours of your time, better luck next fap. That's very frustrating, and just makes me Unren.bat the heck of the game, look at the pretty CGs and delete the game.
