Gameplay - 3/5
It's nothing special; standard VN "open ended" stories with different endings depending on your choices. Most of the interaction comes from the sex scenes or playing blackjack for cash, lol. Neither particularly good or bad.
Characters - 4/5
There aren't many characters and what time we can spend with them is limited so far. That being said, none of them stood-out as being poorly written or obnoxious. The MC is a bit of a NEET schizo, but the devs aren't pretending otherwise. I'd like to see what happens to him as the game continues.
Of course the main draw is the Robot herself. I was hoping for a little slower, more carefully written relationship between Bot and the MC, but there's still plenty of time for that development to happen or for some minor rewrites to occur. The other side of that opportunity, however, is the unfortunate reality that there isn't much here yet. Bot expresses gratitude as you purchase upgrades and clothes for her, and does promise to protect the MC from annoyances like the... IRS and your landlord... Don't come in expecting Sylvie from Teaching, Feeling, but please keep your fingers crossed along with me that the devs give Bot the treatment she needs to carry the story.
Lewd + Graphics - 5/5
I'm lumping these two together. The artstyle and the ambience that goes with it does a good job of selling the dystopian environment. I like the character designs present so far, though some more for minor characters present in the story would be appreciated.
The sex itself is the best part of the artwork. The animated interactions with Bot impressed me; pictures don't do it justice. It's one thing to have a looping GIF, it's another to be able to physically interact with a "Live2D" character. The fact that you can customize her clothing and underwear is just the cherry on top.
The actual sexual content is pretty limited, though. Vaginal and Anal in a couple of positions, as well as some minor hands-on stimulation is as much as you can get. Bot's reactions to the sex are also lacking in variety and are an area I would really like to see some improvement on. I mean, even for a sex robot she's pretty apathetic, despite indicating in dialogue that she does enjoy it. More vocal responses, visual indication of orgasms or pleasure, facial expressions etc. would all go a long way to making the sex minigame more enjoyable to actually participate in versus letting it run in the background for that sweet sweet dough.
Overall this game is a great foundation both thematically and technically. The most important additions I think it needs to keep the 5/5 rating by its final release would be more writing for Bot and an expansion to the sex scenes.
