I really like this game, but it does have its flaws. The art for example is somewhat lower quality than you might normally expect, but after going through the game I'm quite fond of the art style, and Illvina is fun to watch despite being dumb as fuck consistently except specific moments in the story. She will get fucked by 10 guys and then ask what semen is. They do take the "naive" part quite far.
The gameplay loop is nothing special, besides the fact there is zero combat as Illvina can't fight. Instead running into monsters just drains HP and gives you their drops, which you can sell or turn in for quests. Gathering materails drains TP, which you have a set amount of per day and you need to sleep or eat specific items to recover it. Most of the time you will be following the story and gaining gold you need to cover rent by selling these gathered materials or by having sex.
CG hunting was fun though, just trying to explore the city and the slums seeing how to get specific scenes. Theres also pixel animations for some scenes which is a nice change of pace. However some scenes reuse poses for Illvina and just change the words, which can be annoying (there is a lot more unique stuff in the post game cgs)
It took me 7 and a half hours to find all the CGs except a couple mini events, including the post main story content. Just looking at the CGs on their own though doesn't really let you connect to the characters as well as playing it does though, so I would give this one a try if the art and description interests you.
