He owns a library and works there? I thought public library’s were federally funded and I don’t think librarian is a high paying job, but what the hell do I know?

Another example of an overview that says a lot of things but actually tells us nothing about the story of the game.
Go ahead and try your hand at writing one, mister critic.
I'm 99% sure you won't even try; that's what your kind do, criticize, but give no alternative.

Between the Tags, preview pictures, and the current overview, I think it provides enough information to decide whether to try it or not.
Additionally, if you're attracted to women, the preview pictures tell you all you need to know for at least a playthrough. :ROFLMAO:

The save/load system is a pain to use. :(

I'm not gonna try to write one because I'm not gonna play it at this point, but anything, literally anything, that tells us something about the story would be better than what's there now.

So, you're not playing it because the overview doesn't provide enough information. :ROFLMAO:

Not even the preview pics entice you?

Umm... Aioto, your father left for a 6-week business trip. Can I sleep with you until he gets back? I don't like sleeping alone. Plus, we could have some fun, hehe.

WHAT? No way, I'm punishing you by extension. The overview says a lot of things, but actually tells us nothing about the story of the game. So, take that smokin' hot bod and head back to your cold bed — I have my standards, you know. :poop:

:giggle:

It's a solid start but what is it with devs recently producing dark renders. I mean, it's like when your watching a cop show and the victim or even the cop walks into a house and never turns on a light. Who does that? I constantly found myself tilting the monitor to try and see what was on the screen. There is some artistic lighting like in the library, but if you can't see the people's face you are doing something wrong. You don't need a spotlight on them, but for example, would the security guard really be walking through a dark building? And if he was, wouldn't he have a flashlight at least? And who sits at their desk with just the monitor for light? Yes, you could see his face but when I first saw the scene, I assumed he was doing something illegal.

You could always make adjustments post production and just brighten up sections of the scene without ruining your lighting approach. IDK, I realize I am being a grumpy old man here but the dialogue was good, the story seems solid and the renders, what I could see of them at least, where pretty good. It was just distracting and kept pulling me out of the story. Just brighten them up a little.

" This dating sim puts you in the driver's seat as you follow the life of a protagonist and make choices that shape his destiny." Quite possibly the most generic sounding description I've ever read. This is the premise of every VN on this site haha.

Anyways renders look good so I'll keep an eye on this one. I think I'll check it out once it has more content.

Playtime is ~ 5 minutes, if you read through all the text. One explicit scene. > Nothing worth spending time on right now. Checking back in half a year or so.

This is a short first release, but there's promise. The girls look great, and I thought the animations were mostly good too. I don't really know what the story is going to be, but so far, other than the save/load interface annoying me a bit, I think this is a decent starter.

One hot scene with the gorgeous girl you pick up on a night out in a bar, or an alternative BJ scene with your stalkerish "crazy ex" who scares off the other girl depending on your earlier choices when she calls you.
