I feel this review could potentially be a bit premature and if that turns out to be true I'll amend my review. But, I'm going all out now. I've been playing this game for about 6 hours now and I'll be honest. After experiencing countless projects of the medium this one makes me believe in a way I simply haven't for ages. Believe what?
Pros
(Nothing actually too critical here to the point that it doesn't need it's own dotted list.)
More small (gripes) than anything. Some jokes are a bit 'current' for lack of a better word and slightly hurt a bit of immersion. No bed sharing/warming. That's all I've got.
All in all, people who want an actual true to the theme great (and true to the spirit) waifu game would be wise to check this one out.
- That the developers know how to appeal to the audience
- That the quality of the game will remain consistently high
- That the structure will generate a mostly focused and enjoyable experience.
- That they'll produce scenes and a quality of writing that generates genuine eroticism
Pros
- Honest to goodness 'waifu' harem : There are bits of voyeurism in there, mostly only a single scene with characters unrelated to the character in a format akin to watching porn with a porn game. But it's held true this far. No "threesomes" with another male. No attempting to sell NPC polyamory. No "drama" third wheels. An Honest to goodness waifu game (thus far).
- Likable characters: It's a breath of fresh air that every character has their own personality and character traits with just enough. They also have conversations that I care about and aren't merely vehicles to scenes.
Well done to the writers by the way.
- Well Animated : They say "start as you mean to go on" and this game certainly does. The animations are great and high quality, the characters are gorgeous and they give you a taste of their prowess early on. Every scene with characters in new attire may not be animated but it's a long view to help stoke eroticism.
- Fun to read: Now aside from the awkwardness of Alex (more that I feel bad for the chap, but sorry boss you're not the MC), this game is generally entertaining. I mean both in and out of the porn scenes. Furthermore, more than that, I'm a sucker for the golden ratio of lovey dovey during character moments and they generally nail the ratio.
