Okay, initial review so this is going to be pretty slanted...
So far, only a short way into the novel and I have broken it!
I started with the responses that I felt were most natural. Sort of a "playing as me" kind of thing that I do with every game here. Almost immediately get a message from the content creator suggesting that I didn't have enough relationship with Sandra for a particular scene. Also was made very clear that the first response was the optimal response...
Heh heh...
Well, I did like Sandra and was planning that path, but since I got the warning I decided to be totally obtuse. Fuck it, let's keep that dirty ol' incest off our pristine doorstep and see how this puppy plays!
Some points were easy for me on a personal level... I wasn't interested in the domme, auntie was way too forward, the best friend and cousin actually got broken since I wasn't wantonly fucking around and the evil bitch was easy to hold a grudge against. Meanwhile Sun is... well, no real reason to pursue someone whom I barely get to meet I guess.
So, by the halfway mark of chapter three this simply endlessly cycled with the MC watching the Simpsons and Family Guy, day after day. Only swimming with new sister and cat girl completely shutting you out to break up the boredom.
By the end of chapter three, the story is completely broken and Sandra and the MC are temporarily a couple (and cat girl as well?) when taking new sis to the carnival.
So... the story NEVER takes in to account the possibility of not wanting a harem and the results are hilarious.
I'm still cycling from here to see if much comes up and I'm pretty sure this will be darned entertaining for me, but you understand why I can't do a proper review yet.
I am a tiny bit concerned that progressing the "optimal" story is so darned easy. There is no challenge in that at all since it is simply a matter of choosing the very first response. So, this one part will be a factor when I do a proper review.
Still, I will revise this later when I play the way I want to, and yeah, I will go the full harem route as well.
Still, give the whole shutdown thing a try. It's been funny so far!
EDIT; PART DEUX:
Okay, proper fucking review!
It's a complex story, and you are definitely rewarded for following the creators path. Even taking a conservative approach is enough to compel you to try again for more... even an ornery bastard like me. There are still some funny glitches when you leave some characters out of your harem, but taking the easy path remains worth it. Not a lot of VN's can pull this off. You are also rewarded by getting some fun interactions that hold up well (or even better than) with the sex scenes.
So, this is a fun game to play and well worth the mountain of written content.
Awesome job!
