Review of Chapter 6 Release
The long-awaited release of Chapter 6 has finally arrived. It’s hard to deny that the visuals and animation quality have improved — that’s very noticeable. But with higher-quality art and animation, the pace of development slows down.
From my perspective, Chapters 3–4 felt longer in terms of gameplay, while still maintaining a solid visual standard. Do we really need such polished quality if it comes at the cost of slower chapter releases? Personally, I don’t think so. There’s little sense in perfecting every image to CG’s standard if it delays the release schedule.
Chapter 5, with its two DLCs stretched across six months, really hurt the project’s reputation. That said, if we look purely at the narrative, Chapter 5 with its DLC was actually very strong in terms of storytelling.
Yes, fans finally got what they’d been waiting for. I understand the pressure CG was under from the audience. Still, it’s worth noting that Chapter 6 jumped heavily into lust, which might have left a poor impression on those who value story over sexual content. I personally enjoy a steady narrative that doesn’t spike too suddenly in terms of explicitness.
CG’s main issue is the slow pace of development, though that’s understandable depending on the team size. But imagine if Chapter 5 and its DLC had been released within three months — that could’ve made it a project of the year for me. In Chapter 5, CG handled the narrative progression very well.
Comparing Chapters 5 and 6, the contrast in the characters’ level of lust is striking, and it dramatically changes the storytelling landscape. For me, Chapter 6 feels like something between the beginning of the end and the project’s actual finale. With such a sharp escalation, it’s nearly impossible to continue the story while maintaining consistent pacing. Fans already got what they wanted. If CG keeps churning content like a conveyor belt, the project risks becoming just another porn game with pictures.
That might appeal to those who skip all the dialogue, but for people who value the story, there won’t be much left to hold their attention.
In terms of pacing, Chapter 6 is a clear step above its predecessors. The photoshoot scene was as strong as in Chapter 4 — CG knows exactly how to portray Bruce as a photographer and his client, Vi. That’s definitely one of his strengths.
The fitting room scene with Anya, however, escalated far too quickly. There were countless ways her relationship with Eric could have been developed more gradually. It felt like Anya had taken some “lust pill” from SoA, losing all control of her desires. That storyline disappointed me — it was rushed. Honestly, even if Anya had given Rob a blowjob in Chapter 5’s DLC after Maki, it would have felt less rushed than her sudden moment with Eric in the fitting room.
Eric himself felt lost and unhinged in Chapter 6, almost as if he was on some kind of drugs. His character came across as pathetic, like he had dropped the baton and lost control of his own fate. That said, this actually fits the narrative arc — Eric is no longer as important to the story, and his “loss of the baton” works as part of his storyline.
Overall, it’s clear CG put a lot of effort into Chapter 6, trying to satisfy both groups: those who just want adult content and those who care about the story. SoA and MNG worked well together, and by the third quarter they had really leveled up as creators. This is a new stage for them.
Still, I’d recommend CG expand beyond Patreon and SubscribeStar — platforms like Boosty.to or Donation Alerts would make sense.
Will it be interesting to follow the story further? For me, that’s a tough question. After Chapter 6, I don’t expect the narrative to deliver the same captivating experience. Personally, I’ll just be waiting for a grand finale.
