This is 100% one of my guilty pleasure games. I subconsciously divide Ren'Py games into those I play for enjoyment, and those I play for a good fap, and this somehow bridges the gap between the two, with a bias toward the latter.
There are a bewildering number of stats to track in this title, and I'm not sure how many of them are actually leveraged in how the game branches, as many of the actual available paths appear to be determined more by prior choices than the actual kink score. That said, there is definitely content that is gated by points, but it's not really clear what threshold the player needs to achieve to unlock them.
This is a minor complaint really. For pure sexual deviance, the dev has let his freak flag fly in the most glorious of ways, and Myriam can be as fucked up twisted as you want her to be, up to and including fucking her dog, horse, half her students, her family, and anyone else she stumbles across in her day-to-day.
There is no slow burn here. Literally from the first episode, Myriam finds herself glazed like a donut from a mentally disabled stranger in her shower stall at a hotel while her husband relaxes oblivious in their room.
And therein really lies the rub. Myriam has already explored so many kinks that there's really nowhere left to go from here. She's been raped, gangbanged, humiliated, beaten, dommed and subbed by damn near everyone in her circle now, so my worry is that Project Myriam will run into the same brick wall The Adventurous Couple did: Once a certain line is crossed, it'll become increasingly difficult to make sufficiently escalating or shocking content with the protagonist that doesn't feel like it's been done before.
The above is the ONLY thing keeping this title from getting the fifth star from me, and I'll happily (fappily?) revise it to five star level if Zorlun proves me wrong. And I'm almost betting he will!
As far as fap games go, this one covers so many kinks most players will find something to break out their box of tissues for. Further, the dev is exceedingly regular with his updates and I can see his skills improving as he gets more confident in the medium.
The art started out a bit rough, but has improved with time as we see in many first projects. Myriam's recently-updated hairstyle makes her far more attractive than she was for the bulk of the game.
The writing is competent enough, but nothing fantastic, and it doesn't really have to be given the sheer porn scene density here. While there are no true animations, and lots of alternating two-scene sex acts, they are universally erotic and messy which appeals to my particular tastes.
I have been his patron for a long time now, and I don't see that changing.
