Wow this game! 10/10. I gotta write about this! So as far as I can tell I'm not a furry, have kinda been there done that in terms of trying it, hey we're all curious and like to experiment, but I could never get into it, and while I love all animals way more than humans the thought of having or seeing them as any kind of sexual presence is very disturbing to me. Personally speaking that is, I ain't judging you if you like grabbing a tail when you ram ykno? It's just not my thing, despite my intrigue! - That said, this game so far doesn't seem to venture on the furry side of a furry game much at all, which is very very welcome in my book, as in it's there if you like that kinda thing, tails and ears and what not, but this game is not "UwU what's this?" in the slightest. In fact remove those from the art and it's pretty much 100% a 'normal' NTR game. I say that as a good thing from my opinion because while I'm not a furry fan I am a massive NTR fan.
So this game is quite hefty for a "demo", I guess the combat is a little rudimentary with seemingly unbalanced systems, i.e most useful things cost mana, with no way of restoring it, other than going all the way back and sleeping = resetting the enemies. XP is not tied to combat from what I can tell, so while you make progress on your limited "stamina" you don't actually advance in the game the slightest, which there's an easy fix for, save editor! I think the systems in place here are actually intentional as in you're supposed to lose to the boss, recover Sana as everyone has a refill and then attempt the boss and barely make it by as the game really wants to make you feel like a weakling! I think this could honestly be improved by tying the XP to combat encounters and making the MC (Anon) level up at a much slower rate than everyone else, so combat is still a doozy the more you grind, and you aren't punished for exploring or being a completionist, but the cuck is still more or less pathetic. (the way it should be). This experience is already somewhat present in the game as the mage (Garrett) deals what feels like 10x Anon's damage, and when using his abilities, even more!
I guess in a way you could kill enemies for money, grind the consumables from the shop and yes in turn grind your way through the fight, but I think the issue here is how the combat hasn't been completely thought out, in terms of fun + content. While it may be erotic to some to play as a complete weakling it's not fun game design. Like playing doom 2016 with only your fist. Sure it's doable but you don't wake up in the morning wanting more!
You could even have a mechanic of the MC doesn't level up through combat but everyone else does perhaps?
The first thing I thought of when I saw the SO (Sana) in front of everyone in combat was "Wow here we go! While I'm busy fighting and 'tanking' those two are gonna be bonking behind me!" this thought caused me to feel disappointed as my expectations went with something the developer either didn't have in mind, or didn't have in the game at this stage. (From what I can tell). Sure you can watch your girlfriend's mouth get raided by slime or her being rubbed by tentacles but that's not quite the NTR the rest of this game was actually doing. It's one thing being forced in an unhelpful situation by an enemy, it cuts deep when it's someone who's responsibility is to actually kill the people you're luring. It would also work on a separate level where Tanks generally hate DPS for stealing all their thunder while they do all the work, and the DPS is unreliable at best as the Tank is not their priority - the glory is. To this extent you could actually add comments from Sana at the end of each combat, they should definitely be skippable or not interrupt the flow of the grind, if grind is indeed the feeling intended here.
I think for my personal taste this game got right to the sex in a matter of seconds and personally speaking without corruption I don't see how a game like this could be any longer before getting stale. We've even had Sana willingly do a sexual act in front of the MC and it was just brushed off. I do see wasted potential in a game I would otherwise consider revolutionary.
That being said, let's look at the positives. The art is amazing as are the characters designs, but you don't need me to tell you that just look at the photos, probably the whole reason you clicked on this game! This game knows how to treat you as the main character and you are not in the slightest respected, I think the dialogue is on the nose at times with how rude Sana can be "only joking", as in it would've been nice to see her dialogue change over time from cute jokes to rude jokes to purely fact;
"You sure you can handle the big guy? Hahaha just joking!" -> "You sure you can handle the little guy? Ha just... uh joking!" -> "Step aside, we've got this, you clearly can't handle anything."
Now wow, time for the best bit about the game, and watch out because spoilers! This feature is one of my favourites and I would play the game if you haven't prior to this as this will ruin the reveal the game does, even if it's a bit sketchy at times.
This game features the ability to see your girlfriend while you are walking around town, and yes what you think that means, it means. It's an incredible system that had me very interested and excited to see everything, furthermore when something is happening you can walk around and actually find her doing it, for the most part. This is the best thing this game has to offer by far and I hope the developer is going to expand on this in future areas. Which the game seems to be building towards it's progression being each town/city you visit. Again it would've been cool to have the first town tame and kinda each one gets more and more depraved.
I do hope future updates expand not just in content but creativity and it doesn't just become more of the same, as the developer clearly has something "unique" and definitely loads here to work with! Definitely play this one, even now as a demo, it's short and sweet! Probably an hour or two of your life you either won't regret, or it's only an hour! What harm can it do? That's not the note I want to leave this review on though haha, so that all said this game is awesome, definitely has high potential but is missing a lot of opportunities that I think probably wouldn't be detrimental to the games quality by much, but by my standards why stop improving?
Go play it!
