    Review of "My Real Desire" Visual Novel

    Introduction

    I was “recommended” My Real Desire from another AVN, funnily enough. I’ve always appreciated AVN Developers' (Devs) ability to throw in easter eggs or shoutouts to other AVNs. It’s one of those things that makes you giddy when you’ve already played through said AVN and know what’s going on. However, despite the AVN being a shoutout from another, I found the overall experience in My Real Desire to be lackluster. I will try to break it up into sections, so if you want to know about a specific area, you can skip to that section.

    Storyline

    The story of "My Real Desire" is divided into one main plot and various character subplots. The overall main storyline is mid at best. It was enough to keep me curious until the end, with a significant split halfway through that leads to drastically different outcomes based on the player’s decisions. However, the subplots, while adding some depth, often feel rushed. This can be attributed to the challenge of adequately developing ten different love interests (LIs) within the game. As a result, the game falls into the common harem genre pitfall where the characters lack sufficient development, making it hard for players to truly connect with or like them.

    Character Development

    The individual characters lack distinct personalities and are often quick to align with the main character (MC) without substantial relationship development. The typical progression involves the MC helping a character, who then becomes exceptionally grateful and quickly expresses their appreciation in a predictable manner. This rushed development leaves much to be desired for those preferring more depth and gradual relationship building.

    Dialogue and Writing

    An important marker for an engaging story is whether players feel compelled to read the dialogue. Unfortunately, for "My Real Desire," much of the dialogue outside the crucial main story points is often skipped or skimmed through. The characters do not offer much individuality, and their interactions with the MC tend to follow a repetitive formula. Moreover, the game suffers from poor English, which can be jarring at times. While the intentions behind the dialogue are clear, the need for a thorough proofread and some tender loving care is evident to enhance the overall experience.

    Visuals

    As this is a Honey Select (HS) game, it has an anime look, and the graphics can only get so good. The individual LIs have a good look, and I can't complain too much about it. The animations are also ok. Nothing about either really jumps out at you. If I had to put a number to it, the characters get a 7, and the animations get a 5.

    Conclusion

    "My Real Desire" has an alright main storyline and struggles with character development and dialogue. The rushed subplots and lack of distinct character personalities prevent it from reaching its full potential. Nevertheless, it remains an alright experience for those intrigued by the harem genre and willing to overlook its translation flaws.

    Vexirion

    The story is original, the premise of the MC not having feelings at the start is kinda nice. Renders are not bad but not great either, specially the MC's junk seems to look copy pasted from other model.

    The worst: The writing, dialogues are dull. Most likely machine translated because sometimes they just read like an english workbook.

    The pacing is good until chapter 3, then it becomes a slog, the "main quest" finishes but there's still a lot of story and that bit, in my opinion, is rushed, they drop most of the girls in favor of moving the story.

    The harem: The girls are good, all have different personalities and their renders are actually great. Specially Wendy, IMO. But there's no content... most of the time is choose the good option and get a sex scene, or go to eat.
    I feel like there should be more time dedicated to the girls, with the MC and between them, since the harem "ending" is more choose all and move on, get a group sex scene and have fun, game's done.

    This game has the potential to be great, but it needs an urgent revision.

    P.D.: Sorry if this sounded harsh. I wouldn't take the time to review a game if I didn't like it. As I said at the end, I just want it to become as great as it deserves

    It's good game and I appreciate the efforts of the makers. The problems I found was that the game reminded me of other popular games, and it felt like a Honey Select remake of those games. While the plot and character building was great, the sex scenes didn't have any depth in them. Rin, Krystal, Elaine and Sally had the best scenes in my opinion. Rest were all same. The initial sexualization of the Mother was intriguing. luckily the makers moved away from that. The ending also felt very rushed. Also I tried a solo route and not finding an ending was also disappointing.

    A 9/10 game recommendation to those who want a AVN with a relatively common storyline, but uniquely mixed with something that is action packed.

    Gameplay : Good amount of choices matter to get points with characters. Otherwise, a good amount of choices don't really matter at all, mostly just scenes.

    Story : This storyline isn't unheard of, a pretty typical story about someone who is a spy sent to infiltrate a company. The MC builds a meets new friends and lovers, learning truths about his past that will lead him to him betraying the person who he thought was his savior. Honestly I thought the story was just so so, sometimes a bit bland on the surface. I found myself kind of skipping through some parts of the story because they felt insignificant to the plot.

    *SPOILER*
    The MC is someone who was orphaned at very young, and your newest adoptee parents sent threw you to the slums after they finally managed to have their own children. You are adopted my a wealthy family (or man) who takes in orphans, train them to infiltrate companies and steal their secrets (Creations, important data) that will generate lots of money. He graduates and goes into a company to stela their newest gear that is supposedly changing how VR games work. Through his time spying or working at this company, he meets new friends, lovers, and eventually his real mother. As time passes on, he uncovers the truth about who killed his father, so he decides to betray the wealthy man and live the life he wants.

    Visuals : Good visuals with great lighting, details of the environment + characters, and overall good renders. The characters don't feel too artificial, but sometimes they do.

    Scenes : Scenes are pretty great, with a lot of animations in every single scene. There is music for all scenes, but they are repetitive and sometimes annoying to me. because its seems to not entirely fit the plot of the scene taking place.

    Customer Support : N/A

    Overall, a pretty good game that is worth the try, and the story entertaining. There are multiple endings to choose from so you can pick which characters you like the most, or just all of them.

    Interesting cast, seemed like a decent story although it's long so I skipped through it. It's basically a harem VN with some very trivial sandbox elements.

    As others have stated, the biggest problem with the game is the MC. I know a lot of games have timid or scumbag MCs that detract from the story, but the biggest problem in this game is that the MC is cold and almost asexual, except when girls are basically begging to fuck him. He has a Sasuke-style meek bad boy vibe to him, surrounded by kpop idol-looking beauties who are all mostly innocent virgins who end up wanting to ride his cock after he gives them a compliment or some sort of help in their lives. It's just sort of... boring, really. There are a few good scenes, but they happen despite the MC's cold personality which drags down everything else. I mean, there's basically zero flirting in this game, or any other sort of pursuit from the MC - in fact there are several scenes where he will bail when a girl is moving too fast for him. It's just that you choose to keep hanging around the girls, and when you do they will decide that they want to fuck you and things go from there.

    Still, ultimately, the game is complete and satisfying enough. Just wish it hadn't leaned heavily into some really boring writing/tropes.

    Reading some of the reviews, its understandable and playing the game you can see its flaws but I loved the story. I dont need to be so fcking critical about everything. I want an escape from reality, if I want a fcking good visual novel, I'll just go outside and do cool shit. The story is good and I like the love interests.

    I didn't pay a single cent to this game wo why the fck would I complain?

    Ill donate once i get a job so Thank you again Oldcat! Glorious experience

    I can't say I came in expecting much but even with low expectations I still came out rather disappointed. To touch on a few points:
    • This game doesn't do anything particularly well. Very basic animations and story.
    • A little too patreon safe, clear missed opportunity for even non-blood related incest.
    • MC anti-social personality often feels like an excuse to not let you do anything interesting.
    • Many of the background women are more attractive and interesting than most of the harem. No optional scenes with them.
    • Many of the non-housemate love interests are too similar and probably should have been fused (e.g. Eira/Faye/Angela).
    • Features like phone messages and VR battle quickly got forgotten.
    • The ending is extremely rushed with sex scenes becoming less common.
    While not great, I didn't mind any of this too much because of my low expectations. What actually really soured my experience was how poorly the game randomly forces you to treat Mila on the main route. Without input, MC ultimately just invalidates all her feelings towards him and discards her like yesterday's trash. She doesn't even do anything to deserve it, the putdown comes out of nowhere. And it ends up souring all the endings. She unfairly gets excluded even from the Harem ending all because of who she's related to.

    HunterSeeker

    The premise of the game is that you play as non-assuming, unemotional guy who just graduated from college and got a job into a gaming company that is on the verge of releasing a realistic virtual reality game (basically the same type of technology in Ready Player One). The minor grammar issues persist throughout the entire game. In fact, there's a really bad bug that when one of the mystery love interests' real name is revealed, she gets revealed as "Ms. Ghost" and everyone calls her Ms. Ghost for the entire game which makes the writing even more stilted than usual. This bug has been in the game for years as well as all the grammatical errors; basically, the game really needed someone to at least playtest it.

    There's a nice variety of women with differing personalities. There's 7 main love interests to choose from. There's actually an 8th one that is forced on you but it's nice that you get to at least skip the forced sex scenes with her. Although each of the women have differing personalities, almost all the sex scene dialogue is practically the same. It also makes no sense how someone with no emotions who has no interest in relationships to be surrounded by a bunch of women who want him desperately; it's pure porn game logic. With how emotionless he is, I expected him to have some sort of character growth. However, he only changes slightly by the time the story ends and most of the change happens in the last 2 hours of the game.

    >completed game
    *looks inside*
    >>incomplete game

    You do know that you can just remove the other path entirely -> and just do a "post-release major update whoooo!" right? Minus 1 star.

    What is this game about? You play as Mr. Main Character, esquire, who finished college and is getting hired at a video game company. Good for you! You move into a shared house with two SSSexy ladies and some dude. The dude randomly gets a girl out of nowhere and romances her, so he's not gonna get in your way or anything. Fair enough I guess.

    So, standard harem with all the girls eventually falling in love with Mr. Main Character's extremely emotionless stare and general lack of life/energy being given off of him. This is like... the most unique thing in the game and it's quite silly.

    Game: Oh but look, there is a deeper plot at play. OoOooOoOoOOH! check it out! secrets and stuff! Are you interested?
    Me: "does it matter in any way, shape, or form?"
    Game: "uh, yes?"
    Me: "Prove it."
    Game:
    Me:
    Game:
    Me: "Yeah, I figured."

    It's not bad, per se, but it would've probably had a lot better impact if that major decision wasn't sitting around incomplete. The baddies are bad, the good guys will win. Moving on.

    The best thing in this game is certain backstories. Some girls have shallow backstories that don't matter.

    This is what I remember off the top of my head.
    I'm not actually gonna spoil the good backstories.

    I know I dunked on the game quite a bit, but I do think it's good. 4.5 if it was actually and completely finished and 3.5 right now since it isn't.
    If the score seems high to you, I like to err on the side of giving more points -> because there's a lot of absolute garbage games running around with 2 stars and this game doesn't deserve to be "barely/a bit above them."

    I wanted to like it so much, but it was not meant to be. Despite visually great LI's and good pacing of relashionships (if you wanna call them that) absolutely sterile and incompetent writing and one of the worst MC's ever completely ruin the game among many other downsides.

    While the game has many many many many issues, The Big One is the protagonist. He is "written" as emotionless, and while this is an existing trope that actually works with right execution in here this nonsense ascended to the extreme. He never cares about anything until he suddenly does for no reason because plot said so, and if you expect any kind of progression it kinda happens only in the last 5 minutes of the game, otherwise it's a complete narrative flatline of a character. This makes it completely impossible for anyone to relate to him, and even worse because he can be reasonably substituted by a chair any kind of character dynamic between him and LI are completely one sided. There is no love happening there, there is no romance, there are no feelings. This is truly irredeemably awful and just this protagonist completely murders entire VN.

    Sadly issues don't stop there. This is the second worst writing style i have seen here, and most of it constitute of dry, matter of fact statements and pointless descriptions of things we kinda see on the screen. There is zero expressiveness, there is no flavor, there is constant repetition, it's about as tasty as eating paper. LI's arent much better because game TRIES to tell us "this one is shy", "this one is arrogant" and such trivial small traits, but in the end all of them are the same character.

    And adult scenes, hoo boy. There was a review a little lower that perfectly described the "flow" of this one repeated scene that is just used over and over. Yes, animations slightly changed, but it's essentially one repeated sex scene from start to finish, you will understand if you decide to try it out.

    Plot was written in a very weird manner, entire first half of the game is a pure slice of life without plot at all in which we just get to know the girls and their issues, second half just throws it all out of the window and becomes this outlandishly stupid criminal spy drama when occasional LI comes into our room and masturbate herself with use of the protagonist because he isn't responsive to anything. It is comically bad, predictable and it felt like author just remembered halfway that "yeah, you know what, think i need a plot".

    Another point that only proven that author has no idea what he is doing is irrelevant and meaningless characters. Mika, Nina and secretary of Rowan for example. Maybe they are relevant on evil route, but in normal one they serve NO purpose, completely dissapear, don't have lines and they have no reason to be in the game at all. Why Tobi act like our best friend when our flashbacks were all about Tom as our best friend? This was all completely ridiculous and script was clearly changed so many times author didn't know what he/she is writing anymore.

    There was one last point that pissed me off so much i was tempted to give 1 on this alone, in particular Mila.

    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    Your incompetent ass write a character in a very certain way for 99.9% of the VN, then does 180, spits in your face and rub it in for cheap drama, then laughs and walks away. My advice, don't create shitty cheap drama by character assassination.

    As usual ending is rushed and horrible by the way.

    I wanted to like it, i really did. Harem stuff is my thing, slow relashionship development as well, but god this game really don't wont you to like it. Such a shame.

    Reviewing the Completed Version

    The Good

    - The premise of the story is actually pretty cool and hooked me up easily
    - The renders while in need of some customization(they're very basic HS2) are very good looking

    The MEH

    - The music is very hit or miss, some are good, some are just inappropriate for the moment(either sex-scenes or serious moments)
    - The grammar isn't perfect, this game really needs a proofreader or a good grammar-checking program.

    The Bad

    - The characters are so one-dimensional, so flat and boring, and robotic, that you'd think they're AI in disguise and they based themselves on the worst written characters ever.
    - And MC is so bad that he "earned" its own place in this list, if the other characters are one-dimensional, this guy is none-dimensional, the proof of his existence is the graphic that he is made off, everything else is just hot air, and wanna-be-sasuke. I rarely feel nothing toward a character, it's either love or hate or disappointment, here i felt boredom. I understand that emotionally stunted people can be like this, but jeez this guy can't even fake a personality. People who can write better than me already explained, but i want to insist on it: If the plot is somewhat interesting and curious enough to download the game, the MC really destroys any sense of interest but he does it by failing at meeting the expectations: because from someone this emotionally stunted/robot-y you'd expect a personality-improvement as the game goes on, but that doesn't happen, MC remains the same, but everyone else insist he is changing for the better, but does he? not really, at best he goes from "i hate this mission that my boss gave me" to absolute indifference, i don't ask for tears, but dude..more eloquent/more expressive dialogues should be the bare minimum.
    - As i said the dialogue suffers because bad grammar, but it's not the only problem, i complained about MC being very cold and indifferent, and the problem applies to every character, many sentences are about "telling rather than showing".

    Conclusion

    This game was quite the journey, but not a pleasant one, nor a bad one, it's like drinking flat water, it's not bad but you could get something better, it's not good but you could have worse. It's right in the middle between a good game and a bad game, it's forgettable, no character leaves a mark, none of them are worthy to be remembered, or at least not for good reasons, but also they're not infuriatingly bad...they just...very boring, not well-developed, and at sometimes just too many, you recognize them from their hair-colour, but that's it, i already forgot their names. I can only wish the dev to have at least learned from this game and do better with the next one.

    It had Good Renders of Love Interest but the ending is just bad and disappointing. Choice of ending was just bland sex scene with the chosen LI. Harem ending sex scene was just boring to watch. The Side with Criminal ending was bad and essentially ends the game earlier with LI Mila. Mila Criminal path felt rush and makes you question why it took so long to put when it was so short. Essentially Criminal path ends at Chapter 2 Ep. 4 while all other path ends at Chapter 2 Ep. 5. Overall, it felt like the ending was just rushed out just to end the game. Good renders and music just really bad ending that felt rush and boring.

    I really loved this game, the character design. But the story was somewhat okay. The writing needs improvement. Thanks for such a wonderful game. Eagerly waiting for next project.

    And as a fan, it's my request, if you can than please upgrade the graphics like others game.

    Tarnished Saber

    This game has some good ideas and great-looking girls, but it trips over itself at almost every turn. The dialogue is repetitive to the point of absurdity—half the lines are about showering, eating, or being tired, and the other half sound like robots trying to figure out how humans talk. Conversations feel so lifeless that it’s hard to care about what’s happening, and the constant grammar mistakes don’t help.
    The sex scenes? They’re a letdown. They look decent, but they all play out the same way: no build-up, no tension, just straight to the action, and then they’re over before you know it. The dialogue during these scenes is cringey at best and laughable at worst. After a few of them, it all feels like the same thing on repeat. And for a game with so many love interests, there’s barely any variety—just a couple of group scenes, which is criminal considering the lineup.
    The story starts strong, with a decent mystery to keep you hooked, but it drags on way too long. By the end, you’re just slogging through pointless filler, wondering why you’re still playing. And the big emotional moments? They fall flat because the characters are so one-dimensional.
    Sure, the girls look amazing, and the animations aren’t bad, but that’s about all this game has going for it. It’s not the worst thing out there, but it’s nowhere near deserving the hype it’s getting.
    2 out of 5 stars
    Good looks can’t save a game that feels this shallow, repetitive, and uninspired. If you’re desperate for something new, maybe give it a shot, but don’t expect much.

    I think the girls look really good, but the grammar choices in the majority of the lines are not great, and the writing definitely could be improved. I'll still play the game, because I have nothing else I'm interested in at the moment. But.. for a game that is 4.5 stars, it definitely does not feel like it is on the same level as other top tier games. TLDR: It's not terrible, but it's not fantastic either, it's an ok game

    VForValhalla

    This game has some of the best looking LIs in AVNs. Out of the 11 LIs, 9 of them are 10/10 (imo). I am writing this review because it's currently sitting at 4.5 stars and this game does not deserve such high rating. I get it, this game doesn't even come close to some of the slops out there and this an (almost) finished game, which is harder to come by than water in a desert, but that should not be part of the criteria when rating a game higher than it should be.

    This game has so many flaws, I don't think I'll remember them all by the time I finish writing this.

    Most of the characters (if not all) are very one note. I honestly can't distinguish one LI from the other from dialogues alone. Well maybe you can when they follow their designated trope. There is the caring older sister girl, the shy girls, the slut and the bossy (but I am actually shy when no ones around) girls.

    Literally all the sex scenes are horribly written. All of them follow this same, exact flow (not an exaggeration):
    1. Do you wanna have sex?
    2. *Starts having sex*
    3. I'm about to cum, lets change position.
    4. Stop now. Get on top of me.
    5. Feels good.
    6. I'm cumming
    Seriously speaking, I would bet my house that if the dev was only given the dialogues to match them to the correct sex scenes, he will fail to get even one of them right. This game has a set of the best looking LIs in AVN but I was so bored after the first few scenes, after I started noticing the pattern. The dev could've done so many things with these amazing LIs, it's just wasted potential. Also guess how how many scenes include multiple LIs. Just 2. The game has the same 30+ sex scenes but only 2 including 2 LIs. Let me repeat this again, a game with 11 of the best set of LIs has 2 threesome.

    There is no build-up to any of these 30+ sex scenes. No foreplay. No dirty talks during sex. You are wearing clothes one moment, the next moment you are not and when the sex ends, they just go back to their normal bland state, as if nothing happened. If you read fast, I kid you not, the sex scenes wouldn't even last 30 seconds, not a single one. Also, the lack of variety among the scenes is criminal to say the least. Not saying the scenes need to get progressively more wilder or needs to incorporate more fetishes. It's just that the bland writing and lack of different scenarios, results in all the scenes being exactly the same.

    The game has next to no romance. Not exaggerating, you really don't get to romance any of the LIs. I mean I get it, the MC had a really rough childhood and was brought up to be hyper focused on completing his mission. But when you meet another guy with similar background, brought up just like the MC, he just looks like a badly written character, as this other guy is relatively normal. The MC barely gives his thoughts about an LI or an event properly. Again, I know he is supposed to be stoic with "no feelings" but he isn't a zombie. It's fine at first but towards the middle you definitely would've wanted to see some change in the MC. A smile is not character development, even if you want the change to be subtle. And to make it worse, apart from a couple of scenes, we don't even see the LIs talk about the MC or their relationship with him. Again, so much wasted potential, I wanna cry.

    A lot of the renders are wasted on dialogues such as: Hi, Let's take a shower, I am hungry, Let's go to bed, Take care, See ya later, Let's get some work done, I am tired, etc. It takes its toll after reading the same phrase for literally the 15th time in the game. So much of the playtime is wasted on insignificant dialogues like these, it's frustrating.

    The renders were overall fine. Although some were a bit too bright and some were so dark you'd think they were in the void. Don't know what was going on with Felix or Angela's face. Felix looks like he washed his face with ashes before appearing on screen. While the permanent blush on Angela's face, makes it seem like she has rash or something.

    There are a ton of grammatical errors, misspellings and missing words in the game. It didn't bother me at first but, by the end it got annoying. Just give someone to proofread the script. It should be a common practice by now, if your first language isn't english. (Not throwing shade. My first language isn't english either.)

    The animation was alright. Nothing to criticize or praise here. I mean the sex scenes were so mediocre, I just didn't care for it.

    The music was nice. I guess the dev got whatever royalty free music he could find and just shoved them in the game. Doesn't really fit some scenes but whatever, as I listened to my own music while playing.

    The story started off as interesting but died down by the end. Things just tend to happen which favors the MC and it doesn't feel earned. Victor (the bad guy) knows about MC's betrayal but doesn't try to dispose of him or flee the country. He gives MC all the things he needed to make a move against him. He was touted as a smart ruthless guy but seeing him make a stupid decision like that was...well...stupid.

    At the end, the MC just sits down in a large table, with literally all the LIs sitting down with him, and picks who he wants to spend the rest of his life with (lol it's so stupid). The LIs with whom he didn't have any connection or chemistry with, which is all of them.

    I had huge expectations from the game because of how attractive the LIs are, but was massively disappointed. Kept thinking everything would start to get better as things progress, but it never did.

    If you never played any ANV before, you might like it but if you did play a few decent ones, I don't see you enjoying the game. I played the game until Epilogue P1 (which had 2 endings) and at the time of writing this, P2 was already out. Just didn't bother with it because without even seeing I can tell that all the endings are the same (MC has sex with the LI and they live happily ever after). If you have seen 1 ending, you have seen them all, just like the sex scenes.

    The game really is a mixed bad of everything. I found the story engaging though, you get enough of it through out the meandering slice of life stories with the LI's that keep me going forward without any issues. The girls are interesting enough, lots of different types, body, personality so a bit for everyone.

    I think the sex is just enough to keep it spicy, the scenes are short and sweet and the dirty talk is pretty decent.

    I like the the stoic MC who doesn't have his emotions at the surface, the game I think does an decent job of explaining why this is. Overall, I may have wanted to see some growth here over time, but not a huge deal. Though I can see why this turns off a lot of people.

    My major gripes are the quality of the renders seem to come and go. Some of them just don't look great. Secondly some the side stories, do fall flat sometimes, some simply aren't interesting or just poor story telling.

    Overall, I really enjoyed this VN's. Some polish here and there would have gone a long way with it but I would tell people to give it a shot.

    If you want an MC that constantly (and I mean CONSTANTLY) says such profound sentences as "I need to shower, I stink" and "ok I've showered. Now lets go to my room." "Ok, now I'm in my room, let's get dressed." " Ok, now I'm dressed. I'm bored. Let's go to bed." this is the game for you. In general about 40% of the dialogue could be cut without any significant change. The characters keep saying the most irrelevant stuff, like how they are going to decide their mode of transport to and from work each and every day or the MC's absolute favorite "I'm going to go shower" fade to black "Ok now I've showered". It was sort of funny the first time the MC expressed surprise over the fact that sleeping infact does make time go fast after waking up one morning. But when he keeps reiterating it, it just makes you wonder if the MC has a serious brain injury.

    Generally speaking, the MC is portrayed as someone that doesn't have a great way with words or ability to express feelings. Which was somewhat charming in the beginning. However, it falls kind of flat, since almost all characters sound like robots or aliens impersonating humans. MC is just extra roboty. I get that it's probably due to the dev not having english as a primary language, but it does start to grate signifcantly when every character goes some variation of "oh yes this food is very delicious" "Ah yes I agree the food was very delicious" "Yes, thanks for that very delicious food" ad nauseum almost every time you have lunch/dinner/breakfast with them (which again, is constantly). It does not help that there are countless grammar mistakes, wrong character names, and misspellings throughout.

    Ok (I've showered), so text and dialogue aside, how are the sex scenes? They never have any sort of build up, it is always 0-100 in no time. Something like "Story related beat happens, not rarely something traumatic for one of the parties involved" fade to black, MC is in his room/office Hotgirl #X knocks on door/phones/invites to dinner, "Hey MC lets hang out. Ok lets fuck. "And then a sex scene that feels samey after the 5th nearly identical scene. They did get somewhat better towards the end (it is not a short game, so that is many many hours), but by then I was mostly just clicking past them.
    The animations themselves are decent, but pretty standard for HS games.

    There are loads of scenes that *could* have had amazing teasing and build up to a great sex scene, but they are over in one or two renders, and everyone is mostly fully clothed and mostly completely non sexual throughout. It is a shame, because you always get your hopes dashed. "Oh maybe the dev has finally learned that there is value in teasing and building up" "Oh the scene is already over. ok. I need to take a shower."


    Okay so why on god did I play through this whole mess? The story was sort of intriguing. There is a mystery that is revelead throughout, but once it is revealed and understood, the game overstays its welcome by multiple hours. But by then I felt a bit too invested so I just wanted to see how it ends. And there are some heartfelt and nice moments with most of the characters. But unfortunately it is in no way able to compensate for the absolutely terrible dialogue.

    If you're okay with the most advanced sentences being on the level of "I need to shower. Ok now I've showered" or "How are you going there? I will take the bus. Ok. "for multiple hours, I suppose it could still be worth it for the story, but I would honestly heavily recommend against it. Unless you have truly played them all and are desperate for something new, I would give this one a pass. There are tons of other games out there that are more worth your time. I genuinely do not understand how this is so highly rated.

    Loved the gameplay, sex scenes, cool and unique characters, AND THE STORY, OH MY GOD, THAT'S MY FAVOURITE GAME. Story is very interesting, I wish story was longer, but all good things comes to an end...

    Pretty average game. All sex have about the same way of going on :

    - MC or LI get sucked/licked.
    - Then the one getting sucked, sucke the other.
    - After it's sex with 2 to 3 positions
    - And what the LIs says is almost the same every time

    Also these sentences :
    - Give me your tongue
    - I put it in
    - I'll get adicted to you dick

    Become really boring over time as it is with every LIs.

    The plot is interesting, but conversations a bit awkwards and some lake of maturity.

    The game is fine, if you can overlook what I said. It's not trash just pretty average IMO. But I give 2 stars as the dick of the MC is just clipping into the girls vagina. There is pretty good HS mods handeling penetration now a day.
