As Honey Select always causes me to take another glance, I did a bit of reading in the thread here, and was pleasantly surprised to see that there was an NTR route planned. The overall plot seemed fun and goofy (you essentially become an incubus), so I downloaded the game and was off to the races. Unfortunately, the grindy content, nonsensical body changes on corruption and wonky english really put a damper on the experience.
Positives
+ Hot cast (if you dig HS that is. Still, I don't know if it's possible to create an eldritch horror in the engine)
+ Abundant content with simple gameplay...
Negatives
- ...that's repetitive as hell due to the grind
- Due to said grind, the content feels like it's drip-fed and, while there are a lot of girls, just getting even a hoo ha shot of someone means click after click of repeating the same inane conversations ad nauseum
The game is a corruption game, but every time you move a character up one level, their tits and ass grow. Why? The game starts with a nice assortment of body types, but before long, everyone is stacked. This just feels weird when you can just let the women keep their original body type and still make them hornier and I say this as a dude with a preference towards thiccer ladies.
While I am holding out hope that I might like this more once the NTR route begins to be integrated, I can't really say there's a lot to recommend the game at this moment. If you've exhausted all the other Honey Select, only relevant dude, bangathons yet still can't get enough of that kind of content then, sure, give it a try, but everyone else can probably keep scrolling without missing a "hidden gem."
Note to Devs: I would really recommend cutting down the grind since clicking through to the right time only to read the same dialog box over and over again is just objectively not fun and it sure as hell isn't sexy. You've clearly put a lot of time into development, but please try to consider your players' time and enjoyment a bit more. That said, I am looking forward to trying out the NTR route once implemented.
