VN - Unity - Noemi's Toscana Rebirth [v0.25] [beWilder]

My Rating of [v0.5] is:

Pros:
+ Fantastic Renders
+Active Play
+Beautiful Women

Cons:
-Grinding Game Play
-No Adult Scenes
-Confusing Game Play

Conclusion:

Played the first release but couldn't say much about the Game,now we are with v0.5 and still cant say much about the Game,Your Job is to get out of debt,and try to run the competition out of business,so that is about it,you have a couple of scenes that always keep repeating itself, an no nothing to do with anything adults would do.
Wish beWilder would just make a normal game like a lot of other games out there,that would make a big change.
beWilder makes absolute some of the hottest Renders out there,with his talent I would make a simple story without grinding game play in which the player can't wait for the next update.
I personally would Give the Game a 5 Star rating alone for the Renders, but the Grinding Game play just destroys everything in my Opinion.
Like I said,Love his work,but not this Game.

No. Simply. Just no. It's one thing that the renders are undeniably great quality, but that's the only good thing about this game.
The story. Nope, there isn't one. You are a restaurant owner who has to repay a debt. That's all.
Dialogues. Awful. They drag long and long, without taking the story ANYWHERE. Not entertaining, just long and icredibly boring. If you actually read everything, NOTHING happens in the first hour that would make the game interesting at all (that's where I stopped)
Gameplay. What? Gameplay here? You have no other options but click thru the scenes, and decide which character you want to put in which role. That's it.
Sex. I don't know, there must be some in there, but I don't care. Even if the were incredibly well written (which is highley unlikely given the writing quality everywhere else in the game) the other parts of the game don't worth to suffer thru.
The engine. Why? Nothing justifies Unity, when it's a simply VN, that could've been done in Ren'Py. My laptop sounded like an airplane trying to take off while playing this game that doesn't need any real time rendering.

I really can't think of any reason why anyone should play this game.

After 3 updates the game still doesn't offer much in terms of content (0 sex scenes, no corruption). You are the owner of a restaurant and you have to pay a big debt. THAT'S IT! So far, you have a total of 3 choices in the game and it doesn't seem that they affect the story in any way (besides the management sys). Prostitution, brothel, affairs, developing relationships with those around her ... none of that so far.

All you get instead is this restaurant management system that allows you to pick which girl works in a certain area. Overall the gameplay looks like this: you start a new day -> you select where the girls will work -> proceed -> read the first text block -> double click(or click just once and wait for a text scrolling effect) -> read the next text block and so on -> view the day stats. After you repeat the process 4-5 times you will get either a free day scene or a story scene.
Graphics: 4/5
Gameplay: 1/5 (double click, double click - annoying)
Story: 2/5 (I found a dog collar in my steak, everyone, they are serving dogs here ... )
Development: Slow

"There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain..."

I really enjoyed the overarching plot and twists in this game, as it encompasses all the classic elements of a good story. Although the standalone routes weren’t by any means remarkable, they were great at building suspense and a sense of urgency to figure out the pieces of the puzzle in order to solve the mystery. The universe of this games grows increasingly more complex and interesting the further you delve into the storyline. This demonstrates solid world-building and good storyline pacing by the writers.
