No, I'm not posting 4 outta 5 just to be the contrarian combo-breaker. I have earnest problems.
Art's alright, low-res pixel graphics that aim for quaint and get there admirably. I miss my hi-fi titties though.
Writing is nice, but I came to the same conclusions some of the other reviewers have about this playing very much like a couple Steam releases I have. Voice is fine but there are a couple cringy modern slang inserts that made me facepalm.
My porn findings were limited to flashing and a handy. Nothing shocking, but nothing squicky either.
My missing star comes from the gameplay. The weekly lessons comes from the same afformentioned Steam ADV except one step more annoying due to the once-removed Princess-has-her-own-mindset thing. I eventually got used to it once I'd limited the flavors of randomized response possibilities a bit, but on a fresh start first playthough I was very close to clicking the hell out. Having the Princess' head full of random unrelated bullshit she could randomly pick as a response to random situations and then have seemingly all those possibilities boil down to "no you're wrong" had me mentally drubbing this up as the Medieval Ex-Girlfriend Simulator 2020. Also I want more tits.
I can be bought. Find a way to work the tentacle demons in with a well done non-game over-y scene and I'll shamelessly ignore all my gripes because porn > ethics.
TLDR: I like it well enough, but the learning curve stumbles a bit at the start.
