Version: [v0.20]
Started great and got significantly worse (TL;DR at the bottom).
The good:
-The renders
High quality renders, pretty 'real' looking models, characters facial expressions get weird at times, but overall a pretty strong point.
The 'started great but went downhill':
Pretty much everything else.
-Writing
The story is pretty cliché, a white knight MC that happens to get involved in some people lives, then goes on to try and fix their problems.
Still, clichés are clichés for a reason - it works, and the story is told in an interesting enough way to keep you interested and invested.
The characters are okay, nothing more, nothing less. as the general plot - they are pretty cliché themselves - a frustrated spous, a nerdy daugther, a bitchy friend, and of course the hot neighbor.
MC is also barely ok, a weak minded lazy fuck that grows in a week to a responsible caring adult his mother barely recognize.
The dialogue is pretty good on average, but at times gets pretty bad.
I might sound a bit negative but the truth is - at the beginning it just works, even with some shortcomings, its a pretty good experience.
But as the game goes on it takes a nosedive.
the story goes nowhere, the dialogue gets really bad, character progression and growth just stops to make room to some pretty bad incestuous flirts that goes on and on, and the MC just can't stop patting himself on the back while humblebrugging about not being a hero.
-Pacing
Again - something that started pretty good and got much worse.
At the first couple hours of the game the pacing is absolutely on point, some flirtation, some exploring and peeking, even more than that with a specific character, just so you won't get too bored, then you get to sex, and then out of nowhere the game turns into a fancy gallery mod with some text in between, sex scene after sex scene after sex scene, you keep getting bombarded with them and while more content is always great it's just way too much and hurts every other part of the game.
-The sex
It start out great, it looks great, you get a bit of everything, some mild stuff, some light BDSM, some teasing, it's pretty interesting and enjoyable.
but as the games moves on, you get a lot more scenes, they also get very boring very fast and feels extremely same-y, I kept feeling like I saw every scene before with some variation, and honestly I just got bored.
TL;DR -
The game start out as a pretty solid experience, no big surprises when it comes to the characters or the story, the dialogue is mostly fine, the renders look great, the pacing is on point. easily a 4* rating.
But, as the game moves forward everything goes downhill, the pacing gets bad, story progression is grinding to a halt, dialogue is noticeably worse, the sex gets boring, and no character progression is allowed anymore.
The game is worth your time, just expect a drop in quality a couple of hours in.
Overall I gave it a 3 stars rating even though the last couple of updates barely justifies even that, but considering a pretty strong start and considering at least half of the available content is pretty good I'd say its a strong 3.
I have no idea what went wrong, but I hope things get back on track, the dev can obviously deliver good content, and I'd be happy to change my review to a 4 if things get better in the future.
