It‘s valid criticism.
I‘d like to address your points.
First, what were your expectations here? Something more like a minigame? Or a more epic anime styled battle where the Mc draws from the power of friendship after getting beat close to death?

Second point will be taken care of, as was promised by Caribdis, with more epilogue scenes and stuff their patrons like to see. Then I personally don‘t have a problem with the Harem ending being just a slideshow. I feel like it gives the whole thing a more emotional impact instead of just turning it I to an orgy.

Third point, I can‘t really discuss. Simply because I‘m bad at describing visuals. I can only say that to me personally, everything was fine. They may have looked the same, but I certainly haven‘t had a problem to tell them apart and their designs appealed to me very much.

Fourth point, is probably a Trope. Even so, I think it is easy to accept that you hate the circumstances with which you grow up. I mean, if I was rich I would probably deal with it, because it‘s easier being rich than not. But at the same time I can understand that someone would throw it all away for love. I say love, but in the end it‘s an AVN so magic dick is enough of a justification. Then you could start arguing about how Stabby Mike gets from one profession to the next seemingly without any problems. I mean, come on. How can a former convict who broke out of prison become president? Or that all these women simply accept to be in a harem?

In the end I feel like Caribdis had all these ideas for their next game and was burning up to get started there. That is one possible reason of why 0.10 might feel rushed, I think. Get the old stuff out and get started with the cool new stuff

Well, forgot to add 1 more thing, sometimes (specially around the ending) when the MC came it looked like piss...

Other than that I'm kinda excited to see what the next game will offer (and hopefully with better graphics)

Could someone share sneak peek for new game

No....
sneak peek are a perk of paying one, but if you want a little bit, you can still look carefully on the patreon (there is one that i think you can see even if you are not paying if you look carefully), or on discord Caribdis with his announcement give you little peeks too (true not as nice as the sneak peeks but you will be able to see a bit of the style of his new HS2 girls)

I've never posted about a game before, and although I'm not a huge fan of the render style, I have to say that this is a wonderful game. I'm not yet finished, but I am feeling very involved in the story - all three of the main girls have very different personalities and each have their own allure. Mostly, the MC is a nice guy. He's funny, self-deprecating, not full of himself and capable of seeing the joke on himself whenever it occurs. I honestly never expected to laugh out loud at a porn game, but I have done so several times while playing this one. The scene with the guy on the train...and then the scene with the mayor after they win the couples game...priceless. As I said before, I really don't like the style of the renders - but I'll be watching for more from this dev and will eagerly download and play it. That, to me, says a great deal about how good I think this game is.

And I don't know how to put a link to the dev in this post (as the post a couple above mine has done) or I'd do so. Caribdis, great game, thanks a lot!

This is actually a nice coincidence. I played this game straight through and have to follow "old and ugly" with a similar opinion.

This is one of those games where the graphics are first strange and somewhat ugly but grow on you because of the story and the fleshed out characters. The animations are fairly rudimentary compared to some other games on this site and the story telling is sometimes a bit lackluster with setting the mood and pacing. the sex scenes are also a bit "short" description and conversation wise. But nothing of the above makes this game bad or is a detriment. At about 30% of the story it discouraged me a little but then the story really kicked in and the relationships started taking off and i was sold... and the ending.... DUDE!!
I was sitting in front of my screen with tears in my eyes when I saw that slideshow in the end with the music. (full harem ending) PERFECT choice of song... i watched that slideshow 5 times before i was satisfied...

Now can anyone recommend a game of similar nature? nice feels good story etc.
thanks

I loved the game overall. The story is really interesting, I really enjoyed that the plot revolves around something more than just getting into all the girls' pants, that was a nice change of pace. I was also pleasantly surprised that we didn't get a Star Wars ending, where the villain is ultimately redeemed. The one thing that I didn't like was that the epilogue felt a little flat to me. I would have reaaaally loved a scene with all the girls (for the harem ending) or a final scene with the girl the MC chose. I thought some dialogue with Carla and Rebecca would have been cool, since they don't *directly* know about any of the other girls the MC is involved with. But other than that, absolutely terrific.

Edit: Some of the Latin was grammatically incorrect/translated incorrectly (Esse est deus does not mean "There is no God," for example), but that is such a nitpick that I hardly think almost anyone else would have noticed.

I don't want this game to end but unfortunately this was the final patch for it. The story was good, The characters was good. it's easily in my top 10 of games I've played on this site so far and holds a solid spot making it hard to be dethroned anytime soon. The models and scenes was all good. Hopefully the next projects won't be a disappointment compared to this.
