Wow, there's quite a few 1 star and 5 star reviews, but truth is, this AVN is something in between.
I'll mix it up and hit the cons first:
I'll mix it up and hit the cons first:
- The writing is at times good, at times bad. Clearly a native English speaker, and no misspellings, but sometimes the "native French accent" version of the GF is not really believable.
- Transitions are frequently missing. You'll immediately jump to the next scene with no text at all and so you can be a bit confused. Feels like this game just needs an outside editor.
- The models do feel a bit outdated. What's more frustrating, though, is the use of what seems to be stock poses super frequently. You seem to have characters in poses that don't exactly express what's going on very accurately because a "close enough" stock pose was shoe-horned in. Also, the futa girls seem to have super straight cocks, like rulers--I get that futanari are fictional, but a think a slight curve would add to some believability.
- The animation scenes are just a few frames looped. Sometimes adjustments aren't made where the models meet (a cock is plunging into a completely closed vagina, maybe two legs are slightly overlapping, etc), so it feels a bit rough.
- The humor doesn't always land. There are some things that get a small brief grin from me, and the story is light-hearted at times, but many attempts at humor fall flat. Humor is hard to do right, though.
- One of the mid-game choices (that came with a big warning about changing the theme from netorase to netorari)...didnt' really add any content. I'm guessing that will make more sense in the follow up game, but if it doesn't really do much for this game...why add it? There are a few other characters that show up in only some of the perspectives, some of which are developed as you'd expect, and others which seem to have no plot purpose.
- At first I thought the introductory options of "Whose perspective do you want this to be from" and "do you want the GF to speak in a textualized French accent" were jokes...but then I found out that no, indeed, the dev ACTUALLY MADE this game from four points of view (!!). Of course, most scenes overlap, but there's exclusive content in each perspective. Very cool, and very impressive.
- Original characters/plot. I really like the premise of the mom and grandma futas getting it on with the GF. I'm not a NTR super-fan, or connoisseur, so I enjoyed that.
- Dynamic emotional range. It does actually succeed in creating individual characters with their own signature speech and behaviors. That is more impressive than the average fan thinks.
- The game can be played through relatively quickly and restarted for a different perspective, and to me it's impressive to get that much immersion into the characters in the relatively short play length.
- It has music and animations. That's always a plus, because you can always turn off music/SFX in a Renpy game, but you can't add what's not there to begin with. Some of the music and the transitions to it are a bit over-the-top. The animation isn't great...but at least it has some! I've gotten choosy enough with selection that I almost will skip a game nowadays if it has no animation.
- I've already mentioned this, but the story is written by a native English speaker, and the syntax and readability is perfect, so it's already cleared one hurdle that SO many other games fail at.
