I wanted to love the game.
It makes good use of the design options that Ren'Py offers. The renders, while not outstanding, are good enough to combine with the design to deliver an unusually good result. There are excellently timed sequences, unusual angles, not quite flat lighting. The expression of the characters' feelings is very well supported by the text design. The characters, as they are introduced, cannot be denied a certain character, so to speak. I don't want to spoil too much. Everything is there to achieve a narrative density that few other games in this genre can match.
But then it increasingly flattens out and you are forced into a brutal crash landing. The characters are reduced to mere copycats, the arc of suspense loses itself in the lapidary and the events quickly take on the implausibility that is so common in the industry and which is known ad nauseam. A courageous, intelligent and grown-up woman becomes a brainless object who can't hold water when she sees a bulge in the pants, a manipulative and narcissistic asshole becomes a handsome man who can't help it when weaker people submit to him, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Boring.
Of course he has a big cock that all the women fall for and who therefore let him get away with even a brutal rape because he does it so well.
Boring.
The dialog flattens out from dramatically well-portrayed dichotomies (or absent self-doubt) to pointless and incomprehensible babble, only good for underlining sexual acts and somehow baselessly reasoning about them, which are neither beautiful nor stimulating. Nor are they kinky, by the way.
Boring.
The author certainly has the means for a great product, but has chosen not to use them. He also doesn't seem to know enough about adult women, or women at all, to undertake to portray one in a consistently believable way. Or he assumes his clients have no idea about women. Sometimes you really don't know whether to laugh or cry. This also applies to most other games in the genre. But they don't want to be anything else.
At the end of the first day of Chapter 2, I put the thing back on the shelf.
Pity about the missed opportunity.
