RPGM - My New Life: Revamp [v0.97] [Beggar of Net]

Slow, buggy and the renders are very low quality. The quality of writing and English is also very average. It's just a mess no one should play.

For the love of god devs, PLEASE don't use RPGMaker if you are not actually making an RPG. It just ruins the experience for a more linear VN (which you should use Ren'py for!)

22.05.2021: Harem build out of 100 side characters. I'm done with the game. Deleted my saves. Maybe some day i'll come back to it if complete but doubt it.

In short: Complete flop on Daisy. BoN is rushing into oblivion.
My New Life Revamp is just another boring harem game. No lingerie.
That's it.

Longer retrospective:
How do you even begin...If you are reading this then you know about the two versions of the game. I can't describe each of them separately. (If you think otherwise that's your problem.) The original was grandiose. Compared to other patreon sex games MNL was a breeze of fresh air. It was really big. Instantly you knew how many sweat and work was put into it. From the very beginning you immersed yourself into the life of the main hero. Through his eyes you engulfed yourself into this new big city you got thrown into. Each day you discovered new girls, opportunities, nooks and crannies of the city, it's intricacies. Your horizons broadened.
That was biggest asset...the game's pacing. It was perfect. Here you get the feeling of chunks being added one upon the other...some of the content we recognise and some feels new...and unnecessary.
Mind you i have to add that i experienced the original MNL just before Jack's Story.. I got to play it as a whole without the monthly breaks. So my perception might be different then yours in that way.
-The original had to be followed with a strict guide. The game was bugged or so they said. Biggest emphasis was put on the bugs...I had no problems(thanks to the people for puting the walkthrough together)...Yet here we are with the revamp being filled with them. Each update the same pattern. Some things work some don't. The revamp was supposed to be a complete revitalization. It isn't. The bugs make the short updates look even shorter...

+This time around the dev implemented a hint system. Step by step we are being told what to do.

-The original version's dick contest was my favorite story. That slowly creeping revenge against the cool kids. Unfortunately the revamp lacks that. The contest happens fast and is unsatisfying. Also why are we limited to the actions we can take during the party?

-In my opinion Daisy was the best girl in the original game. Period. She was the last girl to conquer. The mayor's daughter, the star cheerleader and biggest bitch in school. You got to know her better and help her. In return with time she opened up to you. It was a sense of accomplishment. Each day after schoold i would rush into her house and bang her. In the revamp Daisy is the biggest failure. Her story content is just copy pasted. Just finish one, two, three...done. This time the fight for her heart looks different...You win her over by flooding her with expensive gifts...That's it. Definetly Daisy deserves more storyline.
I wish there was more rivalry between Daisy and Shirley.

-What is the biggest downfall of a harem game? Useless bloatware, content and lazy writing. BoN just keeps adding unneccesary girls. More girls to sack and forget about their existence. The plotline should progress through thrilling interactions between as little characters as possible. Making it morememorable. What is the point of the stupid grandma and Michelle. Seriously. Or all those hospitals scenes we can't return to.
For example updates 0.83. The Amy story was absurdly short. Instead we got sex with Rosy, Michelle and Joanna. Earlier we got Yahaira. Why does BoN feel pressured into giving every girl we meet an interactive sex UI...I would gladly sacrifice some of the sex for content with the girls we already are familiar with!
Thus the main plotline progresses at a slime's pace...

-Four mafias...and how does BoN imagine it to work? Release four different updates each time for each group? Nonsense. We can already see it fail miserably. In the original Nasrot had a base with a whorehouse in development that we (i guess) could manage. That's four different game mechanics.Are we supposed to manage four different game saves? There also was a shemale side character with her own storyline available only for Nesrot. That was it. In here so far nothing. I had no problems picking a side thus killing two other girls, couse i didn't feel attached to any of them.

-The fighting was cut. No tournament, no LadyX sex scene. (I remember how i edited my save file to change my affiliation from Nesrot to Warren just to fuck LadyX during the tournament. And then back to Nesrot.) Why i'm mentioning this? That was the finalization of you as a made man. You learned to kick ass, beat your rival and became finally someone important. You earned the respect. Now out of nowhere you get a gun into your hand and suddenly everyone is afraid of you...

-The sex scenes are boring. I don't understand it. Every girl should have different erotic lingerie. So little effort to make the game better.Pantyhose, stockings, body suits, corsets, thigh high socks, body pieces,lacy bras on breasts during intercourse, high heels, latex and leather thigh boots. All in different patterns and colors. That way we memorize the girls, feel hooked and cling back to them.
-There should be more positions during sex. We keep seeing the same thing over and over again. They are your instruments to progress the plotline. Instead they sit there doing nothing and we feel sorry for them. Make repetable sex scenes in different parts of the town accentuated by story progression.
-The original gave us an incentive to attend school. During the breaks we could have anal sex with any of the girls or teachers we "dated". It was a unique scene different from the UI ones. Now that is missing in the revamp. BoN SLOWLY implements it for some of the girls, but back then we had much more girls in school.
Wish: I want to see the MC open up his own strip club. Make him hire all the girls in his life as strippers. New storylines for each to sway them into working for you. Different themes for each day of the week to lure the customers. They could dress up as cheerleaders, bunny girls, race queens in leotards, moulin rouge etc. And you should earn the money and buy stuff for each separately. Upgrade the club: nuru massages, vip rooms, alcohol. Hire stuff. Pay for the dancing lessons. Increase their stats. Unlock better clients. Use the girls to seduce and gain info from officials. Use it to gain control of the city. An actual progress. Make me run the game every day. Get my idea? What's the point of adding more characters to the game if they are useless afterwards.
Someone mentioned that the menu dancing videos are better content then the game itself

+In the original in order to unlock new sex scenes you had to repeat earlier ones several time...It was the biggest choir ever. Five times hand job then five titjobs, honey munching, bj, pussy and lastly you unlocked anal. One action for each day. And smash the bloody keyboard...You would run from one girl to another all day long. I had to memorize which girls i'm seeing and were they live. It was a nightmare. Here you just have to do one to unlock the next. Time saved. Case closed.

-Babysitting jobs should be available all week long not only at weekends.
-I went to Helen at 11 am...and left her at 0:30am! Too long. Sex scenes should be one hour long...Dates two tops.
-We don't get to drive around in a car anymore.
+The whole youtube thing was removed...maybe for the better...it was kinda childish in my opinion. You earned lots of money with little effort.

+The dating system is the biggest new mechanic added since revamp. A correct way to simultaneously interact with the city and the girls. This should accompany every girl we encounter. BoN prepared a up to five different sexual encounters for each girl per date. This has to be mentioned.
Just the absurd duration time as mentioned above should be shorter. You go on a date at 9:00 pm, come out 4:30 am...I guess the dev doesn't want us to go on several dates in a single night.
-Also back then you felt the day's worth upon your shoulders. You felt the MC was tired and needed to go to sleep at 11PM...here not so much...

+All that's left is the story. It is still good , mainly couse it's copy and pasted from the original. Your just a kid with a big schlong that got pushed into adulthood to fast. Desperately trying to find yourself in this new dangerous setting while trying to experience the school life.

-May favorite scenes of the original:
1 Daisy
2 Fucking Sarah at school when she was stuck in a hole looking for pokemon cards.
3 Shemale threesome with the blond cheerleader.
4 The russian shemale.
The revamp has way less shemale content. On the other hand the original scenes were nonrepetable. Hope to see more.
+The gallery system was added. Now you can repeat the earlier scenes to your heart's desire.

The tragedy. After Jack's story which is written very good, the future of the game looked bright (we even got our own sim apartment for mom to build). Patreon thought differently. BoN was presented with a tough decision to make. Continue on unpopular subscribestar or cut the incest. We will never know what it was like in his shoes. I personally would continue without incest on patreon and do seperate content on subsribe star.
We would seduce our sisters and mom. We would unlock spicy scenes at home. It brimmed with lots possibilities to interact with them for each time of the day . We started to care for each other. You would help the girls set their lives straight. Progress was visible. Now that's all gone. We got robbed of it.

Unfortunately i don't feel attached to the current version. BoN just rushes content to appease his fanbase. The pacing is gone.The game feels like it was put together in a rush from broken pieces . With each month it is more lacking. People keep repeating this. I don't know what he wants to achieve. I feel like he is stuck in a rut and wanders aimlessly...How much time he spends on the project. Does he still care? Or maybe after all those years our expectations made us sour. We keep clinging for some reason unto memories of the past...
Now we know how censorship kills the artistic vision.

A grindy, bug filled, nonsensical RPGM mess that isn't worth your time.

From the opening title screen (that is laggy) you can immediately tell this game is going to disappoint.

Whether you are a fan of RPGM games or not, much of the time I played the game play was so linear to the point it made no sense to use this game engine. You have a big game world with a bunch of characters you mostly can't interact with that only serve to create a maze for you to work through to go on your very linear on rails experience.

What game play there is, isn't worth your time. Like a mini game where you put books on shelves, but the shelves are right next to where you are getting the books from.

The pay off is some mediocre cliched sex scenes that slowly build up and are too few and far between to be worth it.

The game also has a laughable story and there are numerous egregious grammatical errors (a few is no big deal we all make them, but they are to the point it ruins the dialog). The game also switches randomly between Spanish and English at times.

Let's start this off by saying; if this game had perfect English writing it would be one of my absolute favorite porn-games out there. There is an enormous amount of content, a few fetishes/kinks in its sex scenes and pretty appealing art style (at least I really like it, maybe it's not for everyone). The story is a bit silly and unrealistic, but you weren't coming to a game like this for realism were you?

Things can be a bit more grindy than I like so I used a save editor and just messed around, which was a fantastic time. There is so much to do and so many characters to meet (and fuck) you could play this for hours and hours without unlocking even half of it.

Now I know this is a remake of the original game with the same name, and I had played that game for quite some time as well. This 'revamp' as it's called is quite nice I think. I hope it continues to receive regular updates until its completion.

Highly recommended if you want a small amount of background/story with your tantric sexy times. 4/5 I hope the developer finds a new or secondary writing editor to help make the game's English better, I've frequently found myself rewriting some of the dialogue just to enjoy it a bit more

game literally unplayable without cheat mod. even with cheatmod feels like such a grind.
models aren't even good. compare to game like peasant's quest the art is subpar.
the game only redeeming point is its storyline but it takes lots of boring grind to advance.
the npc are plenty but not interactive. Dev should really invest some time to create filler conversation for NPC when their are not in MC's questline.

MY TOP 1 OF ALL TIME

This game is made with RPG Maker? yes, but that's fine! Otherwise it would be too difficult to put all the content it has, the game is great, you can practically fuck all the girls you meet and if you find a girl and you cant fuck her doesnt matter because you will sure fuck her in the future!

It has fetishes for all tastes, do you like shemales? you have it, you like gays? You got it!
And in case you don't like it nothing happens because that kind of content is optional! You decide if you see it or not.
Also has blackmail, netori content (do not confuse with NTR), affairs, etc etc, all the good stuff.

I love the designs, there are also characters for all tastes, big butts, curved, with big tits, BBW's, MILFS, teens, etc! You name it you have it! Amazing, It's the top 1 of my favorite erotic video games.

Although of course, it is not perfect, it has bugs, that perhaps for someone who is new can despair but the forum exist for a reason, if you have doubts you are helped in addition to an excellent walkthough to guide you inside the game.
100% recommended.
My TOP 5 girls, taking into account context, appearance and other things, are:
1.- Bliss (lord, she's a goddes, the only reason why I choose warren's mafia).
2.- Mrs. Jordan (The context, just, WOW).
3.- Amy (That brat turns me on).
4.- Shirley (Daisy's mom, An unattended hot as hell MILF)
5.- Beth (Ebony girl with a very good story context and appearance, what else can I say?)

What's the matter? You don't see Sarah or Maria in my TOP 5? I don't like them, they seem overrated to me, sue me.

Also, the game has some great 69 sex scenes, just like this # review and my second favorite number after 71 which is like 69 but with two fingers in the ass, just reach those scenes and you will see what im talking about.

PS: About the bugs, I play the game completely every 2 updates and I admit it, few times I have found bugs and although the game has a bug fixer, I recommend to save the game every time you are going to make an "important" interaction.

PS2: I play My New Life since its inception and it has never disappointed me, give it a try, I know you're dying to do it.

Awesome game, despite of the bugs. Good plot and enormous quests(some of them quite annoying and grindy!) Overall, a great game, with good animations and lots of fabulasticly big girls and bodies!!
Keep it up BoN!

One of the best game out there. You need the cheat mod waaay too grindy without but it is an awesome game with it tons of content not as much as the original yet but less bugs and the story make more sense

it has an amazing start and progression the story in something i actually got lost in (in a good way) i love most of the characters and absolutely haaate others cause of the story it makes me wanna go into the game and strangle certain antagonist overall its a good game the main draw back is the bugs you have to make sure you have the patches to minimize the bugs happening

The game looks very nice, and it runs pretty smooth. But the bugs are unbearable. There are so many glitches and bugs all the time. Black screens, freezing, the game also randomly switches to Spanish for no reason. There is a bug fixer, but whenever a bug happens you can't activate it, so it's useless.
The game is also very random at times. In fact, I've encountered a bug that doesn't let me progress the main quest, a image is failing to load, now I don't know what to do.
Sometimes you're starting a quest, then after you just start talking to the person they're asking for virgin semen, or they offer you a handjob, it's a very inconsistent dialogue. Also, the school quests are very very very redundant. For example, someone asks you to talk get some item. Then you'll have to end recess to get the item, but you're still in school, yet you cannot talk to them until the next recess in the next day. Why can't I just talk to them around the school? It's such a colossal waste of time all the time.
Another thing that annoys me is the computer. If you want to go back to the menu, you have to close the whole thing and open again, after the 100th time you do this it starts to piss you off. The pc UI is also straight up unusable without a mouse.
Despite having a chaotic writing, it's a pretty funny game, I don't die laughing, but you can't deny the humor in it. The sex scenes look very nice, sometimes the models spasm in crazy ways, and the dancing scenes look very goofy, but it looks nice overall. I also like the various references to other games and to shadbase comics.
Honestly, if this game had a better/quicker way of checking active quests without opening and closing a thousand screens all the time, and not have som many bugs, I'd give 4 stars. One more thing, the music in the school grounds is very obnoxious, if possible I'd like for an option to change songs during the play through.

I recognise all developer's effort to this new version, buti have to say that this new version is a lil bit disappoint to me cause it destroyd the best stuff in the old version: the freedom! This is the reason the game was on of my favs so far. I like the feeling i can control how the story goes, this way i can feel i'm really inside the game. The new version has a better story, better renders and the map and the phone are good adds, but nothing compares to the fact that i could decide when start and finish all Jobs/quests in the game. I was a patreon, but i am no longer because i lose the interest in this game. Sorry for my bad english, and i hope the developer bring back the freedom to this game.

I have played this from the very beginning, before it was revamped. Since it has been out for a long time, it has very little new content. You would expect there would be a lot considering how long it has been out, it is disappointing. As well the female characters are really overdone in the boob department. The two legged human cow look is really not interesting, the animations as well need improvement. So basic in many ways it gets boring fast.

Story-5/5
Art-5/5
Animation-3/5
Gameplay-4/5
Fun Factor-5/5

To preface I checked the remake out when it was in its infancy, and saw promise with a lack of content. I came back at 0.7.8.1 and was delighted to see a game well into being finished. Personally can't wait for the next update.

Story- The story here is something to write home about. It is fleshed out, and downright enthralling. This is some of the best writing I've seen in a H-game. Beggar of the Net has a fucking gift. My only criticism is I felt like the the whole household on incest patch was blue balling me for the entire story. The turn around for sarah to go from card whore to bro-con was a masterstroke that couldn't have made me happier.

Art/Animation- Art is inherently subjective as I state in all my reviews. I liked that tits were not the only body part overexaggerated. For that alone I give art a 5/5. Animation is done well, but I felt like the stomachs of the girls in scenes seemed janky. To clarify animating is not my skillset. I think some work needs to be put into smoothness. 3/5 for variety alone.

Gameplay/Fun Factor- Gameplay is very sim, and I personally like that. If I had one note the inability to improve all my grades to a passing level drove me nuts. It just made my eye twitch so I had to mention it.

Now on to the important part. Is the game fun? I found it very addictive. Its worth a place on the hard drive, and I can see myself watching this game progress with great interest. The day I can finally fuck Sarah into oblivion is a day I look forward to.

Ok I played this game ever since the original came out and I have to say out of all the games I have to say despite it getting a revamp that originally disappointed me it is still my second favorite game of all time. Now putting this aside I will give my pro's, con's, and the in between of this game.

Pro's

1) Interactive sex scenes where you can interchange besides with the threesomes.

In the original you couldn't do that and I have to give points for that even though it wasn't something that bothered me.

2) Improved story line

While the original story line was good this one in my opinion did improve on it in a lot of areas. Especially loved the heart to heart moment Mi... I mean Tommy had with Markus. While it would have felt more natural with the original in my honest opinion do to him knowing Markus much longer in that one compared to this one it still got me in a good way.

3) In game walk through

While I personally had no issue with the original game when it came to finding my way and what I needed to do (this was due to me being on top of every update) for someone else who wasn't like this and couldn't understand the walkthrough that was written they would be lost. It was one of the things the original version needed for newer players and this helped that greatly.

Cons

1) A good part of the RPGM was sucked out of the game.

In the original you could talk to the NPC which in my (and a lot of people's opinion's) was a critical part of a RPGM. In fact it was one of the key differences between a game falling under RPGM and Renpy and thanks to said change the game feels like it is now a Renpy game trapped in an RPGM's body. Not to mention the way it makes you feel like you are in a ghost town. While minor this does bug a bit of people.

2) Inconsistent story line

While for some this might be small and can be easily ignored this one really bugged me. I myself am personally someone who loves a good storyline and this is something that I hold up higher than the porn itself and it was the main reason why this game is my second favorite. However due to the creative issues the creator was having and the constant changes they made a lot of the story line and details unlike the artwork isn't up to date.

For example Joanna when first introduced was shown to be the big sister to Maria and was the older sister to her for a good deal of the storyline until the most recent update If I remember correctly. However despite this change happening within the game the older parts of the game didn't reflect this. During the pool scene when Maria was talking about her love life and the frustration she was feeling Joanna called her "little sis". This in the 4.0 update of the game and at this point it was fine since she was still the older sister. However, this was never updated to keep the story consistent.

The same could be said of when in the beginning of the game Warren wife's name was Cynthia however, when Warren is speaking to Jack in a slightly altered recycled scene he referred to his wife as Irina which didn't match up either.

There were quite a few others as well but I won't list them all here.

3) The game became extremely linear and a lot of the freedom that was originally had is gone.

This is another big one for me. With the original one once you finished the intro and made it to the school yard you had free rain of who you wanted to speak with and interact with for the most part and you weren't tied to a specific order with few exceptions. Here however you must follow a set course when it comes to playing and unlocking said characters. This really turned me off and while I understand why it was done it really hurt in my eyes.

4) The added porn voices.

In the original I remember there being mostly moans and groans from the ladies when you slept with them (with a lot of the original having the japanese voice acting moans) and while this is still there the porn voices are a massive turn off for me. I get why it was added but I just happen to find the new voices annoying and when I know it is coming I end up hitting the mute button.

The in between

1) Character development

This was a mixed bag for me. On the one hand I loved what was done with certain characters and how they were fleshed out. For example Rachel, Morgan and Maria for example. Rachel got more character development seeing as in the original while she was is original best and had some development there she felt like she needed more. Maria also got a great deal of development compared to her original despite in the later session of said ova she got said development.

However with the good there is also the bad. Sarah sadly in my eyes went down a rabbit hole in terms of development in this one. While she wasn't the meat and potatoes for me this update made me like her less.

2) character changes and updates

While I did enjoy seeing some of the more updated models seeing as I remember the before and after with many of them, some were good and some were bad.

for example Morgan's mother's design was a massive improvement over her original design. I liked her slender form so much more than her original and this earned points with me.

However I didn't like the Aunt Maggie change to be honest. While in this one she is actually your blood aunt versus the original where she was Jack's side chick. the original Aunt Maggie (who is now the new Mike's mother) I just like more.

Then there was the change to Mi... I mean Tommy's character. In the original despite everything that happened to him and the fact that he could get almost any girl he desired he didn't feel anything like a beta male with the original. Here he feels like it despite being an alpha with the ladies. Especially with the constant mentioning of his height in the newer version.

3) Music

With this one it is far more good than bad seeing as in the newer version there are a lot and I mean a lot of tones in this that I find myself loving. While I did love the original party music in the first version the newer version blew it out of the water. I also loved the music where Markus and Mi... I mean Tommy is having the heart to heart as well as the music after Christian beat you up and you need to get home. It is massive improvement in this area. However, at the same time there were a few of the older tones that I liked from the original that I had wished was still in this one. For example Jet's bookstore music in the original was one of my favorite themes and I found it relaxing and soothing. Would love to see it back in the bookstore again. There were a few others I liked that I would like to see again as well but seeing as this game is still in development I have hope some will come back.

4) Bugs

Another mixed bag here for a few reasons. While this game is far less buggy than the original game (which is always good) that doesn't mean it is free from them. However for the most part the game is still very playable and while some bugs can be annoying they aren't anywhere near as game breaking as they were in the original. The only reason this point is in the inbetween is because sometimes you can possibly run into some really annoying ones that can screw you over at times.

5) In game guide

While I put this in the pro's simply because it was there, it isn't without it's flaws. at times the guide can be confusing or in at least one noticeable instance is completely wrong.

The instance I saw was when the ingame guide said "go to Ms. Turner" when in reality it should have said "Ms. Taylor"

However, this isn't something that can't be fixed.

(Final call)

Despite everything I remember and the con's that personally bug me I would definitely recommend playing this game to anyone looking for a good story driven game with an author who puts his best foot forward.

Well here is my review (version 0.7.5):
This is my favorite rpgm adult game,what it have:
-Good story
-Model is unique not copy paste 3daz model( it maybe ugly at your first look but when you get used to it it kinda hot)
-Good gameplay with nice dialogue
-Really hot scenes.
+ things i dont like:
- you have to walk in game so much(rpgm game problem)( this could solved when play with mod).
- bunch of bugs( but easy to fix with menu and dont really important bugs).
- Mc's dick is too big for human.
This game should be 4.5 star but i will give 5 because it being underating here, you guys should support this dev and give this game a chance.

I have been following this game for quite some time and this revamp just get the things to the next level. All the narrative and gameplay got a major upgrade and all the updates have a lot of conetnt. Beggar is very committed withs his game and it shows it in each update

1 update from when the original version left and the MC mom content is comming, HYPE!

Without a doubt one of the best games on the platform. The amount of content at times can be overwhelming. But you will have a large number and variety of women at your disposal.
The plot and construction of characters is solid and effective. You will have characters that you love and others you will hate very strongly.
You will enjoy the best sex scenes of all the games. Come on, the protagonist knows how to fuck. Although the postures and the speed of sex are not videos, it is very pleasant.
Although in some ways it feels empty, I guess future updates will improve and add that content.
But without a doubt a 100% recommended game.

Beggar of the net have really good game i played my new life (3 times) and i played this game (2 times) old game is long but have bad sex system new game have more sex system and game story is better than old game, old game have really bad time system and travel there are some same scenes in this game but this game doesnt deserve 1 star

Review of the Revamped Version.

Pros: Runs smoother, Less bugs.

*Built in walkthough

*The Dev finally knows what direction he wants to take the game

*Better storylines for some characters like Rachel, Maria, Laura etc.


Cons:

No freedom : No more randomly interacting with your house mates, you have to basically wait and be told what to do. Otherwise they just stand there like robots, it's depressing. No more ways to pass time like watching TV or playing games, very robotic. You can't pick which storyline you wanna follow it's chosen for you.

No Driving: You get a car but you don't drive it, it's literally like taking a bus or instant transportation.

More of the same: A lot of this is this is more of the same, Mc is still a weak pushover. While others have matured physically he's still the same version of himself which was an indication of things to come. He's a pushover to people like Sarah who basically uses him for cards.

Why couldn't Sarah die? : Sarah is as obnoxious as she's ever been , It's like the Devs got a thrill by making her a total fucking idiot. She's done more harm to MC then christian ever has, she does it psychologically, emotional and physically. She practically used him and then spits him out once Christian comes along with more cards, then she gets jealous when MC moves on, falls for Christian rapey charm and confesses her love for MC. She's a complete idiot.

Too Rapey: Whether it's Jason's storyline where his dad basically grabs MC's dick or Christian ass raping Sarah or even MC himself getting ass raped by some rando, this game has too much this and traps situations that are hard to avoid, if at all possible. I'm sure there are others scenes but those stood out. It's like the Dev wanted you to see them.

Same ole Sex scenes: I was hoping the fast paced sex scenes had changed but it hasn't. I'd like to dictate the pace of certain positions and angles like I'm used to in VN's but this isn't the case. As you play from the start to the current update, in some scenarios you can do this like the scene when Laura is giving you a tit job by the pool. Notice it asks if you want to continue or the next option. Like why couldn't all scenes be that way?

I wish the Dev luck but I'm throwing in the towel on this one. 2.5/5.

In many, many ways an improvement over the original.

The story is more linear, which can be good or bad, especially in a game with so many characters (yet to be explored in this version) but the freedom you had in the older version was often limited by its convoluted design, and of course, bugs. Which kept things more or less the same. So not much was lost.

There were plot choices and character changes I didn't love, but the writing is better than the first one's. Nothing mindblowing, but shows some maturing from BoN's part and the translation is a lot better as well.

RPGM has however become an even more questionable choice, despite (and due, in part, to) the improvements in the gameplay side of things. But, I understand this is a tired remark.

All in all, at this point in time (0.06), it's an okay game on its own even if lacking all the content from the original.

3.5/5
