I'm going to be very brutally honest here, and I'm sure some people won't like this, however, it must be said.
Before that, I want to say an honest and sincere good job to the artist(s) who drew the characters & backgrounds, and a good job to the animator(s) who made the animation for this game possibe.
However, the same cannot be said about the writer.
At first, you may not notice anything wrong with the writers skills, but the further in you get into the story, you start to realize that the writer's skills are actually lacking.
I've seen beginner writers do a finer job than whoever wrote this.
Some may be already doubting me or questioning my review of the game, so allow me to explain.
When you are making a Harem game, certain criteria must be met, otherwise nothing is stopping any game/story out there from having a harem ending.
One of the critical elements of a harem game is 'dominance'. The man who has created his harem has to be masculine, very confident, and dominant. No woman will ever allow her self to follow a weak and timid man, especially in a relationship which includes other women.
The best way I can describe this MC is this, he is a simp. From the way he talks, to the way he acts, and how he responds emotionally to the things happening around him. They all scream virgin.
Even after he has had sex, he still acts like an innocent virgin.
He did absolutely nothing to have sex with any of the women whom he is having sex with. Don't believe me? Watch this.
- Naomi. She acted like a dominatrix towards the MC. She even made him act like a weak man by making him say the "magic" word: Please. Sex between Naomi and the MC happened thanks to Naomi getting what she wanted, and tricking the MC.
- Heather. She wanted the MC, and she got him on her own. She made every single advancement on him, while he was s-s-s-s-stuttering in fear. She even managed to fool him extremely easily, by making him have sex with his step-sister. It's only thanks to Heather, that the MC is now having sex with his step-sister, Heather is the reason.
- Sonia. She made every single advancement on the MC, the MC did zero moves on her, because he was too embarrassed and scared. Even after the MC had already had sex with two women, he acted like a virgin when he saw her naked the first time, and then she gave him a breast massage which caused him to have a train of virgin thoughts. Sex between Sonia and the MC only happened because of Sonia, the MC did absolutely nothing to make this happen.
- Fiona. The nerd, the virgin, the shy little cousin. She might be all of that, but somehow, some fucking how, she had more balls than the MC, and more sexual common sense than him to make sexual advancements on him. Sex between him and her is only thanks to Fiona. Even sex between the MC and Samantha is thanks to Fiona. The shy little virgin that used to put books above men, was more of a man than the MC and even planned a whole threesome for him.
- Catherine. The step mom who is a huge emotional mess... I can't even put it into words how easy she made it for the MC. If the MC acted like man, even once towards her, he would of fucked her within an hour after she had taken the first pill. All the delay we see is because the MC was looking for his masculinity, something he never finds/found, because Catherine's balls grew faster than the MC could find his masculinity, and she jumped on him.
The title says "Prince of Suburbia", and it has a linear story that ends up with a harem, whether you like it or not.
What the title should say, however, is not "Prince" but "Simp of Suburbia".
The way the MC was writen and displayed, if not for the drugs, he would of been your casual 40 year old virgin man blaming life for all eternity because no woman wants him.
I am a writer my self, and nothing pisses me off more than seeing incompetent writers ruining the work of many.
The artist(s) that drew the characters and background, fantastic job.
The animator(s) that made the animation possible, fantastic job.
However,
It all goes down the drain after the writer laid his/her hands on this project. One person single handedly dragged down with him/her the rest of the team.
I don't understand how one person can fuck a whole project after being given so much good material to work with...
I'm giving this game three stars, thanks to the artist(s), and the animator(s). Otherwise I'd give this game a single star, and even a single star is an overkill for this game.
