The game starts off well enough with an intoduction of the human? Mc and his seemkngly human fishermans family but then you suddently wake up with a tail, a wifey and a daughter also with tails and ears, made the previous story / prologue seem totally dislodged and unrelated.
And as you wake up after the good build up from the dislodged prologue you quickly find out that theres not much story atall but just sandbox time skipping between story events.
Not sure if im missing something or android version is bugged since I only seem able to trigger story events and nothing for individual chracters.
And now I'm stuck even on the story events since the dinner im supposed to have at midday in the kitchen does not trigger.
Doesnt change much in the end I guess unless the character events unlike the story ones are much longer and more coherent.
The longest event sofar was a dream sequence (i think?) The whole ordeal wad abot confusing but seeing as the character was back in the bedroom afterwards that was my assumption.
I feel if the sandbox elements was removed and the prologue was revised or removed this could potentially be a very cute and satisfying game, as the small glimpses I've been able to get of the different characters and the minimal dialogue presented with them sofar has been pretty good.
So if the developer isnt using sandbox mode like many to mask the actual lack of storytelling an alternative VN mode for this would be awesome (given that there is/will be enough content for it)
Personally I would just scrap sandbox as it's a very lazy and outdated mechanic imo, but maby it plays out better on pc, and of there is more content I missed and the game time isnt spent on an overwhelming majority of sandbpx play then I guess It could be alright or even enjoyable fpr some.
Personally I think it hinders any immersion and unless tied together well with the events ot just takes away from the story.
Rating this will be hard but I can only do it with the content I encountered.
Graphics 4/5 it had some pretty good renders and even an animations was pretty decent.
Story 1/5 I dont really feel like there was any story after the prologue with the storm.
Dialogue 2/5 I would have rated this higher if not fpr the minimal amounth.
Gameplay 1/5 The sandox was used as a litterbox here (fitting for a neko game)
