Originally I was giving the game a 5/5, but I hesitated and decided on a 4/5 instead. I'll go one about what makes the game great below, but first lemme talk about the lost star!
As I played the game I realized I wanted more interactions with the robot. More ways to touch her, more things to talk to her about, more stuff to do with her in the apartment (how about a beat up retro console for 2 player videogames?). I'm also saddened that she has almost no reaction to kissing, and I would like it if she spoke more freely including text bubbles even if you aren't interacting with her (how about text bubbles in the corner of the screen while you're gambling online? And a "Welcome home" when you get back from a solo outing?)
In short I feel like the lack of normal, everyday, and lovey-dovey interaction to express the robot's character is enough to knock 1 star off my review.
Now let's talk about those 4 other stars!
Artwork and animations are pretty good, though the artwork for doggy style doesn't feel like it matches other art in the game. The characters are all interesting and seem complex. The robot girl in particular is very likable, but never makes it hard to forget that the main story is a romance between a human and a feeling AI.
Money grind is a bit rough, the constantly ticking time can make it difficult to fit everything you need to do into one day. The stonks market makes it really easy to become a millionaire in 2 weeks though, at which point you have so much money you would have to go out of your way to spend it all.
The setting is a pretty generic dystopian cyberpunk with a healthy dose of satire. It fits the story, and the story fits it, because it's ultimately about you and the robot girl trying to find happiness together at the bottom rung of society.
Last but not least there's the soundtrack: WOW.
Great videogame music, great variety of tracks, it all fits well in the background of a videogame and it all helps to get the mood of the room or scene into your head. Honestly if this weren't a porn game I'd be publicly advocating it and its soundtrack as a great example of what videogame music should be and do.
So plus sides is its story, characters, artwork, and music.
Downsides is that the robot girl needs much, much more interactions and the money grind can either be somewhat frustrating to begin with, or you can just become a millionaire in a few days with little effort thanks to: stonks go down, stonks go up.
P.S. Also forgot to say that more line variation for the robot girl would also help make interacting with her not get old. Other reviewers have said this also.
