    Reviewing V1.0

    Overall, I liked most of what I saw in this release. I'd call it promising, but it's not without its flaws. Here are some of my observations.

    What could be improved:
    • As some have pointed out the English isn't great, there are a few typos and grammar mistakes, but I think my biggest issue was that some of the phrases "sound" unnatural and directly translated from Spanish, it's not as egregious as in other games, but needs polish. BTW, I also played in Spanish and for anyone who understands it, that's the way to go (although, I did see a couple of typos there TBH).
    • The most significant issue with this game is the renders. The models look good, or even great, but the quality of the renders isn't consistent and changes dramatically at times. They go from great to soft to crappy from one scene to the next.
    What I liked:
    • Most of the models are great and there's some variety, the rest are good enough IMO. Hopefully they'll fix the rendering issues.
    • Even though some of the story isn't new (guy goes away, comes back home, dad's gone, etc.),there are some ideas that could make the plot interesting in the long run. I'm not bothered by things going fast with some characters because I think they make sense within the story.
    I think this has potential, hopefully they'll get enough support and deliver on that potential.

    I would like to say that this games has a lot of potential, however it's held back by a few glaring issues.

    Animations 4/5
    Story 2/5
    Writing 1.5/5
    Renders 4/5
    Characters 2/5
    Music/Sound 1.5/5

    I have a few suggestions that may get your game the attention it deserves. The story starts off decently, but the grammar holds it back way to often. I found myself auto-correcting full sentences/dialogue, which is something you do not want from your audience. I suggest finding an English speaker to help you out on this front, along with a proof-reader to make sure everything is ready to go. Your story would stand out much better when written properly.

    I know this is a porn game, but events take place way too fast, while also not giving a proper introduction into each character. I understand they all like the MC but a lot of the lead up to certain events seemed out of place just for the sake of having a nude/sex scene. I suggest slowing it down a bit and build up to these things, while showing how each character is developing towards the MC. It gives the reader a since of connection to each character for better or worse(depends on said character's attitude or personality type...some times even their appearance.).

    Most of the girls have the same type of personality, so outside of their look, there's really no difference between them. No one has a goal, other than to have sex with the MC.

    Music and sound define almost every living creature in the world, it can make us happy, sad, hopeful, laugh, cry and so on. With such a great tool why would you leave this from your game? Sure you have music here and there but a lot of it is out of place or doesn't t fill the mood. Use these things to your advantage such as, rain, swimming sounds, splashing, morning birds, coffee being made in the cafe/customers talking, and so on. Great music and sound can bring a story to life, while bad music/sound can make it worse.

    This game could be amazing with the proper care and love, seek out help with the English parts and fill in the music/sound department, and you'll see how much better the story is for both you and the audience. Ill change my review when/if I see any changes for the betterment of this game.

    Review at version 2.0

    There isn't really much I can add from review of 1.0.
    The grammar is still an issue but there is definitely an improvement from 1.0.

    Still really enjoying the game and looking forward to the next version (again :p)


    Review from 1.0
    Really enjoyable and awaiting the next update!

    If there was one thing I'd have to put fault in, it would be the grammar used but as English isn't the primary language of the creator it's completely understandable.

    They may want to get someone to proof read but all in all 5/5 and eagerly awaiting the next update.

    Not bad, basic same old story setup, but the renderings are good, while the English grammar writing is fine, the sentence structure is unnatural as soon as you get past the setup stage, But i'm guessing since Spanish is the main language of the Devs, it's understandable, Only bugs me a little bit, but i see that time and effort has been put into this beginning, allot of people have already pointed stuff out in the form and has been responded to by a Dev so im sure things will get better with new chapters. Good luck with the development.
