V1.02
Gameplay 4/5
First off, no RPGM combat. It's a walking simulator where you discover lewdness within the setting. You have, I think four weeks of play time in which to grind stats, earn money or watch scenes, each consuming a portion of your stamina. Your training gives you skill points which you can use to increase your stamina, your gold earned, make it easier to find Artel and the scenes, and unlock the 'pure love' sex acts. Interestingly, your gold and skills (but not stats) are saved across runs, so you can just do a grind run to pay for shop/skill unlockables for your first playthrough and then start focusing on routes with a mountain of gold saved up. You'll need to play through several times because I think there's like 6/7 different endings; each antagonist has an ending if they're her primary partner, plus a 'pure love' and a 'cheated but chose MC' end.
Art 5/5
Probably the best part of the game. I was skeptical because it seemed AI generated, but it's all really well done. And then it's Live2D animated on top. I hope more games follow this trend in future, if it's not too hard to perform.
Sound 5/5
Nearly as good as the art. Each scene has an accompanying set of sounds that are amazing. Breath moans. Fleshy smacks. Sucking noises. Squirting noises. Creampie noises. A really erotic soundscape.
Plot 2/5
And this is where it falls apart. There's no real corruption to it. The various antagonists sooner or later discover that the LI has a lewd crest on her abdomen that makes her weak to molestation. It's never explained how or why she has it, but it stops her taking any actions against anyone bold enough to grope//molest/fuck her. The guys get increasingly lewd with her while you watch. Aside from your ability to 'disrupt' some scenes, the MC has zero reaction to watching the LI get stolen from him. In fact, you could argue by the fact that this is barely even NTR, because they're never formally dating. They're 'fond childhood friends that separated for years'. If your MC is willingly stalking her to watch her get corrupted (which you have to be to see the scenes), you can infer that he's just a voyeur. Except he never even seems to take pleasure even in watching her.
Writing 2/5
Not great. A lot of the writing in scenes is 'ahh! ahh! ♥♥', ' unf! unf!' with a little light dialog between the characters. Maybe the MTL is at fault here, but I don't think the translation had a lot to work with.
Overall 4/5
I went in with low expectations due to the AI art and was pleasantly suprised. Probably one of my favorite, completed games to release this year. If you want a plot-lite NTR story with great art, this is one of the best I've played. If the weak plot and dialog bother you, it's still worth playing for the art.
