Story 2/5
Main story and main focus is about a couple living a life being drug addicts with all that follows that lifestyle like constant money issues and the danger of overdose, it also adds them bringing a clean friend into that lifestyle which i wasent that big a fan off since they know the hell they are living, MC can try to stop it but the friend will start using anyway, not that MC tried very hard to stop it, even though shes not totaly hooked yet she dosent even stop after nearly getting raped and maybe even killed, that should have been more then enough of a wake up call for her to get out while she still could and also a good time for MC to try to get her to stop but no they just keep using drugs and get teach her how to get drugs and get to know the dealer and shit like that...its a bit to idiotic if MC really cared he would have done alot more sooner.
I expected more from this though when seeing this kinda of game overview quote "Along the way you will meet several other women and have the chance to either romance, or in some cases corrupt them. There will be many important decisions to make on your journey towards recovery. How will you choose to embrace your new way of life? This is entirely up to you... "
You would expect this so be choice driven but game forces multiple LIs/Sex scenes on you, so you really dont have much of a choice as stated.
It is quite a slowburn but it somehow fits the story and i did enjoy the relationship parts but i would have liked to have started with a single MC where you get to pick a girl to live with instend of having it forced on you, it is an AVN after all, i would have liked someone like Sam to be the main LI atleast she looks more hot then any of the others, but shes just a short side girl thing for most of the game and comes into the game waaaaaaay to late.
What annoys me the most is that there are alot of fake choices, like when you tell some one you dont want any part of it and then MC changes hes mind and does it anyway, its like he has 0 backbone and that annoys me.
Also you got to be so damn carefull with choices and your forced to read the walkthrough if you dont want to end up fucking someone you dont want to, i dident like Maya and first time i ending up feeling she was forced on me since i dident really understand why from earliere choices so it takes very little to end up in a path you might not want.
Normaly i dont use walkthroughs but was forced to in this one since when Maya was forced on me, i thought i did everything possible to not be with her and still ended up fucking her, so had to replay from start...and much later i found out another LI is forced on you.....ffs.....
Problem is that ALOT of choices is almost the same it can be such a small diffrense like if its ending with a ? or ! one gives a point another dosent....i hate that you cant just say no and close down someones path insted of this stupid point shit, just give the player the option to say no when ever it gets to the sex scene....it would be much more simple to make instend of all the points, which for the player feels alot more like work trying to avoid points and not having the freedom to pick the choices they want due to points fucking up the hole game when it comes to relationships.
And why the fuck does the game force a girl on you when you have 0 points with her? why have this hole idiotic point system with all the girls when game still just force you to fuck someone? its like dev is trying to ruin the game, im talking about Barb which i never wanted anything what so ever to do with and MC fucks her while hes girl friend is close by and it destroys any chance of a faithfull route and MC wants to fuck her? why? and MC then talks to Barb like he wants to be with her and he loves her and the only thing stopping a real relationship with them is Barb? it feels so idiotic when you as the player got no points with Barb and never went after her in that way, so its truely forced on you and MC never even thinks about Lydia hes girlfriend not even for a second?....tell me thats not brainless?
This made me quit the game, no real point of playing on when game starts to force shit on you and destroy the route your playing, i went for Lydia SOLO route meaning faithfull, none cheating route....i couldent care less about Lydia saying shes fine with MC fucking other girls that dosent mean the MC i play wants to do that shit to her, then you might as well make the game a mindless fuckfest or a kinetic novel insted.
Girls 2/5
They are just very low quality and almost look like male faces, really not suited for an adult game and paints a weird picture of people on drugs are automaticly ugly? i dunno but it feels a bit stupid, the 2 points in this one is based on Sam alone.
Animations 3/5
Some are decent others are really poor, so overall average at best.
Choices 1/5
Saying no as MC gets changed into a yes which is annoying, you cant stay faithfull if you want to, alot of the choices are pretty close to 100% the same where one gives a point the other dosent which is a bit bland, it also makes the hole game very kinetic when you constantly gets 2 or 3 choices where they are all the same text just said in a diffrent way.
Music 2/5
Very standard background stuff and nothing decent with lyrics.
I uped this to 2 stars since main story is pretty good but it gets ruined by forced relationships/sex scenes with people that arent the girlfriend and by MC wanting to be with someone other then hes girlfriend and its totaly out of the hands of the player, and with relationships being a huge part of the story it just ruined it for me personaly.
