This game has become the new standard for the whole "landlady / tenants" genre. The graphics are flawless, the female protagonist is perfection (and effortless grace), and the writing is strong enough to make a somewhat cliched story stand above the rest of the pack.
However, where this game truly shines is in its depiction and development of interpersonal relations. Each character you meet has sufficient depth and complexity to make you pay attention to the dialogue, as well as Wanda's inner monologue about them. Everything matters.
No character in this game truly feels one-dimensional, so when sexual tension starts to develop, it feels more interesting and grounded, especially when it's Wanda herself initiating or pursuing that attention. Watching her deal with her own taboo feelings is a true delight.
Unlike other - and more popular games on this site (AWAM, for example), this game is not afraid of sexuality. Yes, there's a lot of teasing and slow-burn seduction, but once it reaches a point of no-return, boy does it ever deliver. And this is a very good sign of things to come.
I'm particularly fond of Wanda's relation with Faye, one of her "tenants". It's difficult enough to find well-written female protagonist games, and it's damn near impossible to find such a sensual and emotionally satisfying depiction of lesbian love. That scene alone is 10/10.
Furthermore, the game has plenty of paths and branches, which also make your choices feel consequential. In conclusion, this is a highly ambitious, gorgeously rendered, and meticulously written piece of "taboo" that seeks to elevate the genre and deliver something unique.
And if none of those descriptions convince you to try this game, simply check out the renders. They're of the absolute highest quality, with exquisite attention to detail and an authentic cinematic vision. If you don't fall in love with Wanda by the end of it, you might be dead inside.
