Ok I've played a tonne of this game at this point and I have to say it's really great. In summary it's got a really fun gameplay loop and it's grindy, but the grind is configurable.
I really like the interactive gameplay elements. The photoshoot card selector can be challenging, it requires some strategy and an attention to detail to meet all the descriptors and use all of your cards. My only peeve is that it can take a decent while to pick out all the pictures properly.
The scene shooting is a much simpler game, but the fact that it plays out clips is great and keeps me enjoying it, at least on new girls and with new scene upgrades. My criticism here is that the "simulate scene" is way too worthless. Repeating the same process of gaining energy and collecting orgasms can get kinda boring after a while, and the simulate scene doesn't give you nearly as much reward as it should, because otherwise I'm not sure why it exists.
The battling portion is really just the scene portion but it's kinda stat-gated whether you win or lose. If your girl is upgraded enough you'll win, otherwise you won't; not much skill needed. You need to upgrade the potency of your scenes if you want to win. I like the desired/undesired traits aspect of the combat as it adds some incentive to use other girls, but its kinda invalidated as you can just wait for those to change to benefit your stronger girl. The random debuffs that affect you are nice and add some spice to the otherwise identical gameplay loop. Maybe adding some more interactive elements to make this section more challenging might offer some more engaging gameplay, but overall I think it's pretty fun.
The contracts are pretty terrible. I like the idea, but it's often hard to know exactly what model/pictures you want to select, and you get penalized if you don't do it quick enough. To top it off, the rewards are hardly worth it.
This leads into another point where the default configuration for the grind (ie in normal mode) isn't great. It gets extremely grindy later on. Thankfully it can all be configured, but its hard to know what still provides a satisfying effort to rewards ratio.
Also it's got a lot of mod support, so when more mods get made for this it'll be great.
Another thing I would like to see, and maybe it's only serving a small niche, is the ability to reduce visual effects. It runs pretty choppy on my laptop chrome browser, and I'd assume the ability to disable all the background and transition animations would give some smoother performance.
Overall great game and excited to see what more comes of it.
