v0.6.h
This is way more grindy than I initially thought it would be. It's basically a click simulator and I was honestly expecting something very different when I saw the ratings it has received. I've come to realize that many people aren't rating this game for what it is right now, they're rating it for the potential it has. Don't get me wrong, I also see a ton of potential here but that doesn't change the fact that as it stands right now, there's barely anything there unless you really enjoy clicking your left mouse button.
The game starts off great and the artwork looks awesome (for the most part). The overall concept could potentially become an amazing game some day. But what's there right now is a grindfest, where you basically play through the exact same scene over and over (and over) again just to grind the points needed to reach the next stage of that exact same scene. And then that stage is just the same thing once again, a grind for points towards the next stage, only this time with slightly less clothing or a slightly more "advanced" touch.. There's nothing wrong with the MC gradually losing her inhibitions over time as her corruption increases, but the way it's done with the massage parlor scenes for example, causes it to feel like a chore.
I gave it an honest chance, and I'm pretty sure I've seen all the content there is to see at present time. But I've spent several hours playing this and the vast majority of that time was spent clicking through stuff I had already seen.. And don't think I'm only interested in games that jump right into the action from the beginning, because I'm not. I actually quite enjoy a slow burn in this type of game, but not when that means repeating a short scene 10 times in a row just so I can unlock a tiny bit of progress for that scene. At least give us some interesting story dialogue (or just more variation in general) to keep us engaged as we're slowly progressing..
Again, I can see the potential here and I genuinely hope it'll one day realize that potential. If it does, I'll gladly give it another try and increase my rating. I thought the way it started off was really good, and I thought this would be a game that's worth sinking a few hours into. But as soon as you've played through the intro, the pacing it had is just thrown out the window entirely and the game quickly turns into the grind that it currently is. Any built up excitement then just slowly evaporates since there are simply way too many steps involved in unlocking the full scene and the pay-off just isn't worth it. Maybe all this will be less noticeable once more content is added, but I believe it'll take more than that to not make it feel like such a grind.
There's a lot of potential here, but that's it for now. I'm giving it 2 stars because what's there, does at least look good.
