This game is just wildly inconsistent and maybe the dev themselves have no idea where to head for the direction of this game.
Renders - above average with recent updates being slightly better than earlier version. Some female models are nicely built some are kind of off. Many custom space theme assets and aliens and even alien LI (dragons and furry) which may not be everyone's cup of tea. Sex scenes are fine, some dom scenes with the witch are extremely hot. Animations are barebone but serves their purposes, and there are plenty of them.
Gameplay - this is where I think the game shoot itself in the foot. Earlier versions of the game are strictly sandbox and you need to navigate around the ship, interact with each girls to progress the storyline. Which was fine, because it wasn't anything grindy and you always get rewarded with nice scenes and dialogues with each girl. However the recent update scarp this feature altogether and becomes a full episodic vn mode with 0 sandbox element. Maybe this is just temporary and purely plot related since they got off the ship, but this change in game pacing is kind of frustrating to say the least.
Writing - I have no idea what is the story trying to tell. Characters are inconsistent and often will break personalities to fit the flow of the storyline; expositions and explanatory dialogues severely flood the scripts which significantly reduce one's interest in keeping up with the story. Often I just find myself skipping dialogue so I don't fall asleep reading the chunky paragraphs. Again if the fragmented story telling from the earlier sandbox mode is kept intact then maybe the plot will be clearer. There I can choose whoever I wish to interact with, follow their story until I cannot progress further, then switch to another person. But the recent updates are just one big episode of people talking to each other trying to explain their thoughts and expose the plot to the audience, instead of act out naturally to tell an actually interesting story, like every good vn should do. Really really subpar writing.
Overall, just grab yourself the gallery unlocker and go for the sex scenes because the core gameplay and story isn't anything worthwhile - especially when they are costing you multiple hours to slog through.
