    I tried to play it. Strange scene of parents' murder, ok, pass on the dev's low skill in writing. MC lusting for his moms' substitute - that's to be expected but totally out of character, it's a porn game after all. And then 10 years passed...
    Characters speaking in modern day American English in Wild West - mostly small talk and constant flow of sorrys (yeah, modern day idioms, it's strange they never mention Facebook or Apple devices). MC is doing chores all day - although these chores are doable in an hour, that's to show us that dev has zero knowledge about Wild West and country life at all. And then MC looks in an open shirt of teen girl (while being a teen boy himself) and we have a word-by-word scene from any VN about today's USA. WTF? What's prairies got to do with it? What Wild West had to do with it? Does dev ever seen any movies of western as a genre?
    That was too much for me. I guess. Neverlucky with his poor imitation of medieval fantasy was some kind of idol for this dev. There's nothing about Wild West (or Old West, as dev states) here, it's just another porn VN in Wild West decorations with some kind of story between porn scenes where MC lusts for any female he sees. That's boring. And that's cheating, 'Cause there's no Wild West but in renders.

    This game is completely charming. I was immediately hooked on the western angle as I have not seen much of an attempt at broaching that theme properly. I was not one bit disappointed as I think this developer has a passion of telling a compelling story while not shying away from having to earn the more lewd elements of this tale with different characters offers varying levels of immediacy to that point. I rarely write reviews so this is a first in general but if you get a kink out the more narrative elements of build up for certain characters, hot action throughout to satiate and a satisfying level of detail in all aspects this is a definite recommend. Eagerly awaiting the continuation of this tale and the creators future projects!

    Turn the sounds off (kids in the home and don't like them seeing what I am doing in my room by peeping at noises) and yet the Sound effects of sex at still playing anyway. Speaking of sex, Dev needs to show that some love as somescenes are good and others are merely meh.

    Will update this review if it looks better in the future.

    Also Pregnancy would be a nice add to the game as well. It would be fun to put a bun in the preachers wife's oven.

    Low... Ball...Errrrr

    I was enjoying this until the MC totally pussy'd out! I can't stand when writers have an MC hung like a horse but are complete nut-less cowards. Completely ruins the entire thing. That's all I'm going to say about this. 200 characters is a joke just to review a game.

    I hate wasted opportunity, and this VN is wasted opportunity. A rather unique setting for the genre - Wild West - while visually well done, is buried beneath banal interactions and porn logic so strong you can’t even smell all the horse manure. Understand, porn logic is a given in all these adult VNs. It is expected and very difficult to conceivably get into all the lewds without it. Yet, it can have a breaking point. This is it.

    The Good: setting, renders, varied body types (mostly), ok animation that does improve.

    The Bad: Really no choice. That in itself isn’t a deal breaker, but call it a KN and be done with it. The Writing is poor. Story, good concept, bad execution.

    The Ugly: Ridiculous harem logic. Every woman wants his magic beef burrito. There is really no development. A woman sees you - you bang it. No choice at all. Tough if you don’t fancy her - you’re a gonna pork her. For all the people complaining about Netorare “tropes” here you have a prime example of Harem “tropes.” Really, to make this more interesting, a little Netorare would not be amiss (not cuck, Netorare .) Maybe the preacher “influences” the sister? Maybe one of the LIs gets captured by Indians or Cattle thieves and the MC must rescue her? In the interim the LI has to “negotiate.” This is what I mean by wasted potential. It’s really just a dude in western garb and a magic super wang shagging anything moist in the town’s radius. Fucking boring.

    So, if you want mindless sex with multiple women and no choice so as to fulfill your superhero harem complex, I give you this cow patty. Enjoy Cowboy.

    This AVN has some unique elements - 'wild west' setting that feels pretty authentic. Varied personalities of the LIs. Decent writing. Nonetheless, it's so vanilla it makes my teeth hurt.

    Simply not enough choices, and the ones you make matter very little. No risk of making the wrong choice and facing consequences. All the LIs in the game are desperate for the MC to plow them. The introduction of the 'dirty old man' priest seemed like it might add some drama and tough choices (for example, what if the only way to bang the priest's wife was to trade him your sister?) but no - Gary Stu MC just sidesteps that and the bland harem-esque story goes on.

    I did enjoy the first half of this AVN, but by an hour/90 minutes in it just felt tiresome. I wish devs had more courage.

    Overall: 5/10

    I've defended this story numerous times in the past. I wish I hadn't. The turn the story takes in v0.10.0 is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. They say there is a first time for everything; this is my first one star review. How anybody can write this drivel and think it will be appreciated is beyond me...

    Fantabulous

    (Review of v0.8.0)

    This is a quite nice AVN staged in the Far West. All the characters feel authentic and the writing is good except maybe for the doubts the MC has at the beginning while getting intimate with his new family. I mean, of course he should have doubts but let's not go to the extreme of boring the player with endless thoughts. He's an adult anyway, not a 15 yo boy who doesn't know what he's doing.

    Visuals are also very good. Animations in sex scenes are a bit mechanical and generic (not to mention jerky) at first but get slightly better as the story progresses, and I hope it stays that way. I wish the developer best of luck getting the support this project deserves.

    This game could be solid if not for all enforced stuff and characters.
    Wild west setup isnt that common in AVNs world, so it is a shame.
    Not sure why the dev didnt make it as KN fuckfest, at least eventual players would know what to expect beforehand. His logic is quite obvious and the worst one if his intention was to make a decent game.

    you dont like some random chick? well, bad for you - you have to fuck her, and not only once you have to do so a few times...and to love her on top of that.
    you dont like some kink (anal, feet etc) for example? well, bad for you, you will get it, as i do know better what you actually want.

    two stars only for redhead milf, though this rating will probably drop further, as i cant see this project becoming better, nor even staying the same quality, it will get only worse most likely...

    So far, so good!

    The writing overall ain't terrible. There's spelling and grammar errors in abundance, plus I find some of it to be a bit needlessly repetitive. But for the most part it was engaging enough.

    Visually it was mostly okay but the lighting in some scenes feels a bit wrong - at least I assume it's a lightning issue that has the characters looking all orange, sometimes yellow.

    Animations are pretty jank too. A lot of robotic jerkiness, bad loops and in at least one scene some oddly flickering textures.

    Also while a non-issue for the bulk of the game the MC's child model looks like a tiny crackhead and perhaps somehow older than he looks as an adult.

    ANYWAY regardless of any of that I had a great time with it. It has my recommendation.

    Story 2/5
    Story is ok but it dident really catch my interrest, front page talks about how you will shape the MC by the choices you make, but thats not really true since you cant even controle who you want to be with, which makes alot of the story a kinetic novel which is a type i personaly never play.

    My main problem is forced LIs and being forced to be with prostitutes on top of that dident help any, you cant pick a faithfull route since you cant say no to those you might want to, but for weird reasons some you can turn down which makes it even more idiotic that other LIs are forced, Rio being the top whore in the brothel is a forced LI and im just not a fan of constantly going to fuck her then go back home to hes GF Sunny which was the only one i really cared about, really dont see why Rio had to be forced.

    Also stuff like Anal is forced on you, in case you arent into that stuff.

    You would think MC was an angry fucker wanting to get some revenge after the story starts with hes parrents getting killed but no, this isent an action game as you might hope for, instend MC wants to save prostutites? but ofcause not without fucking them him self? it dident really make much sense to me, MC also has the standard childish mindset as alot of VNs which i find very boring.

    Girls 2/5
    I just dident find any of them hot, they do have some diversity in builds.

    Animations 3/5
    They are average at best.

    Music 3/5
    Pretty average but most of it does suit the game.

    Very well made, good start as of V0.6.0. This is a VN with a few choices that seem to offer some changes and a couple of different paths.

    Now to be clear, this VN has
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    So if that is not your gig, move on, it will make your head explode. Like, really, don't play it and then show up in the comments section and fill pages of bitching.

    Otherwise, this is a "White Knight" kinda guy, gonna save them all, be really nice about it, and the LIs will all love him for it.

    Art is really good - excellent
    English - very good, story flows and conversations are good
    Plot - nice setup, but it is very early, so not much on the way of the plot and development. Its a nice feel good (excepting the prologue) kinda VN.
    Animations - a few and nicely done
    Sex scenes - good, great art and part of the story

    I hope the Dev continues, doesn't worry about all the complaining about a certain type of LI, it looks to be a very interesting project.

    There's no 3.5 so Ill round up and give it a 4.

    Fun concept going back in time to the times of the wild west... story is ok, characters/renders look good. The down side is that it feels like another generic VN with not much personality to it sadly. Still, having said that, it's not terrible by any means.

    Though I wonder why go with A**t/C***n route instead of the M****r/D***r if ur going to have inc***t? Seems to me you could of had 4 character development to go that route instead of 2....

    Good luck!

    The Pros:

    Aunt Faye
    Jane


    The Cons:

    - The main character is too easily persuaded.
    - None of the content or love interest are avoidable.
    - The story is flat.
    - Too much inner dialogue.
    - Fails at trying to be serious.


    If you came in thinking this was going to be some wild wild west, shoot em up, Red Dead Redemption game like I was you're sadly in for disappointment. The Dev puts together this dramatic opening where your parents get executed, there's this time skip, you think that the MC would have this dark edge or side to him but no, he immediately starts serving on his Aunt and cousin. That's mostly all he's accomplished so far.

    Easily manipulated and persuaded, I'm expecting he has vengeance on his mind but so far he's too busy skimping and trying to save prostitutes. Speaking of that, 2 of your 6 love interests are hardcore prostitutes and you can't can't do anything about it or avoid them. I've tried. Lily all but brags about Rio being her best girl but of course the MC wants to "save her", it's ludicrous. I'm wanting to do some cowboy shit and avenge my family's death and so far I'm offered to lick toes... and save hoes..

    Devs also do that annoying thing when they know what character the players desire more so they take forever with progressing their relationships and shove a bunch of random characters in your face that you don't want. Faye is obvious the prize but of course the dev is going to stall and take forever with her, Jane isn't bad herself but it's Faye all the way. You confront the guy who gave your parents a loan, that was lackluster and by that time I was ready to quit.

    I may check back on this but then again I probably won't.

    Excellent Femdom route with one of the heroines, I just hope there is more femdom content with the others, especially with the hot aunt and naughty cousin. Other than that, I just found it a little strange that choosing a DOM/SUB route doesn't change the protagonist's behavior in the other routes.

    Was not sure what to think when I decided to download it, but I liked westerns growing up, so I figured I would give it a chance.

    So far as of v.0.5.0, I am truly enjoying it. Not a ton of games set in this era and the storylines have some potential. I like the wide variety of possible love interests. Got bits of love, corruption, etc. Good mix overall.

    The graphics are solid. Not top tier, but good and the animations are the same. They are good and well done.

    Love the narration and the internal monologue. Gives you more of an inside look at the mc. Felt the discussions were thorough, without being too much.

    Looking forward to future releases!

    Loved the femdom path so far.
    Sadly it's only one woman with an optional path, but it's well written and with good, hot scenes.
    the game doesn't have fake "femdom" about vaginal sex and blowjobs while being called toy. It does have femdom with playful humillation and worshipping her body, instead of her yours.
    For a more harem, vanilla and maledom focused game it surprised me the quality of the male submissive content. And the path is being updated, not just an afterthought.

    It's very nice. The story is rich and unique. restoring the Old American West with less violence.
    Girls are very beautiful in their designs, both facial details and body details show the different ages of different characters.
    The story is richer than I thought. At first reading the introduction, I didn't expect the author to create so many storylines within the context of the story.
    What is special about this work is that you can feel its story wonderful without looking at the words at all. Picture performance is very strong.

    I think this has potential. Good looking visuals with an interesting plot by the looks of it. I really like the Wild West setting i havent seen a Vn with that sorta plot so far. So i think its definetly worth checking out, the story so far evolves around a mysterie but there seems to be an obvious bad guy it will be interesting to see if there are any plot twist or if its as straightforward as it might seem. Sometimes the faces are a bit wierd but overall it looks good and im excited to see where this will go.

    A promising game. Looking forward to the next release. The renderings are excellent and the theme is different from the usual games we have here. I hope it will pick up some steam and it would be nice to include a native girl and a school teacher.
