And Abhai's comment just shows how vastly different opinions can be. There's not really a story yet, but TBF the game's not very long and so not a lot has happened. There's potential for a lot of storyline here. If nothing else, why is everyone in the hospital so loosey-goosey about sexual relations all around? Is there someone special who owns the place and has that attitude towards people they hire? How is there not HR jumping down everyone's throats? How were they even functional
at all without an IT dude already on staff — even for a day?
But I don't know that this
needs a storyline per se. It's not slice-of-life, but it's sort of along the same lines in principle: it's fun for fun's sake. It's something like a Benny Hill game, with nothing to be taken really seriously and everything having potential to leading to sexual situations. I don't find anything wrong with that myself. For me not every game needs to have anything deeper to it. But again, this is just an opinion.
I think saying "poor" writing is a bit overdoing it. Will this win any awards for poignant life lessons or even for clever quips? Nope. But I think it's fine for a silly hospital sketch-game that just sprays sex like an air freshener. I don't remember seeing any "Engrish" in the game, even if there are a few mistakes here and there. And the dialogue sounds a lot closer to "normal" than a lot of the self-important wannabe philosopher-games being made today. To me, the writing is fine.
There is a single choice for another character (Claire); she's not an MC. That choice is only whether she blames Zoey or tries to protect her from getting in trouble. You don't choose with whom she builds a relationship, you don't choose where she goes, and you don't choose anything else for her. A single choice hardly makes her an MC-level character.
The models are older, for sure: probably from 2017 or so. I never had a problem with those, though, and never felt like a game was suddenly terrible because of them. That said, there are plenty of free Gen9 Daz models Acehole might look into getting. Just because I personally don't mind the models at all doesn't mean others won't feel differently. I think the trend would be more to share this perspective Abhai has then to share mine. However, if the developer loves the models being used and doesn't want to change any of them, that's also understandable to me.
So I myself think this is a fun little game so far that doesn't take itself seriously and that hopefully translates to fewer players trying to take it seriously. I don't really give out ratings very much; in my nearly 6 years on F95, I think I have fewer than a dozen total reviews. I absolutely think 1.5 stars is
way too low, though! (Also, it's back, so.... Eat crow,
