I seem to be writing a lot of reviews lately for AI-games, so let's get cracking on this one.
The good:
- Unique take on the whole Netorase theme by having a big titty goth catgirl as a wife.
- Regular updates (so far)
The bad:
- I played this game when it came out in December. Played it's 2nd update yesterday and... where the fuck is the content? I pressed skip for not even 30 seconds and I got to the end... That's extremely disappointing to see in 2 months! By the time I pulled my pants down, it was over.
- Too many inconsistencies with this specific art style. Some of the characters just look out of place.
- I really really really dislike the use of showing an AI generated picture in a different resolution on the screen, unless it's for the phone application to show the user the bigger image. To me, this shouts laziness. Is it too hard to generate an image in the resolution of the game? 1920x1080? Others can do it, so why can't you? Most of the game is done this why, so why take shortcuts with specific images?
- I like the use of visual effects like the kiss, but at least... turn it off after? It's on the screen for way too long and just looks lazy.
- Why do are these choices in this game? There's no player agency, I'd much prefer a kinetic novel over this type of choice-based game as what you choose only makes you either see more content or not. Was the developer too lazy to put images in the other option?
Option A - gets you a new image! Yay!
Option B - Gets you nothing. Fuck you for picking that option.
I mean... what's the point?
Conclusion:
When this game came out, I had a lot of faith in it! It looked good and even though it was a demo, it showed promise. Now it feels like the subsequent updates are... smaller than the demo. I was honestly expecting more at this point, because at this point in time, the game is over before you even start playing it. The choices don't matter and only influence whether you see extra images or not.
Considering the popularity this game has and the following it has gotten on Patreon, I was really expecting way more from this developer. The updates are barebones and while they are coming out, you'd have to wait for 6 months to even have enough content to play for more than 1 minute.
You can do better, dev.
