Really enjoyed this game so far. The story is intriguing, the characters are attractive and there is enough going on to keep you entertained. I never felt myself skipping dialogue because I was bored. Looking forward to the coming chapters.

Most impressive debut I've seen. Renders and animations are top-notch, the story and writing are superb (which is extremely rare in games like these), there's a right mix of humour and drama in it and all in all I can't find even a single flaw. Characters are interesting too, they behave like real characters and the game feels more authentic than your usual erotic game where porn logic is a prime directive.
Pros:
+ Renders, sex scenes
+ Variety of beautiful women to play with
+ Very good writing
+ Perfect mix of humour and drama
+ Interesting premise
+ Meaningful choices
+ Interesting and believable characters
+ For a 0.1 release it's very long -

Episode 1 is quite long.
When a good graphic designer meets a good writer a great game is bound to happen.

Not boring 7% 9 10 Very interesting and creative non-banal story but a bit too much technic jargon & male-only dialogues 3.3. Realistic 4% 9 10 I don't believe that you can earn 5M$ on street racing and the therapy is abit too far-fetched but all the other action seems quite plausible 3.4.

Great game ! This game makes up for NFS's regret ! The picture quality is high and there is excellent animation . As long as the author does not do some strange manipulation for income, it is a very collectible work . -

I'll keep this simple as to why I think this deserves 5 stars so far:
- Good story with well thought out plot.
- Writing and grammar is good.
- Excellent render quality.
- Nice animated sex scenes.
- Good looking cast of characters.

I beta-tested this game and even before it was refined it was incredibly well-made. The renders are high-quality, the concept is unique, and the story (apart from slight grammatical errors) is incredibly well-written. I can't wait to see the finished product. -

A very strong start. Excellent models and animations. The stories of the characters and the story of the game are tremendous. I can already sense that the story will go much deeper in the future.
It's a pretty long first chapter. It far exceeded my expectations. I will be looking forward to the updates of the game.
Good luck to the producers... -

Strong start. Graphics look good, UI is good, models of the girls is good. No Spelling mistakes and no engrish. Plot makes sense or doesnt break my suspension of disbelief has emotional momments and a likeable mc. Gives me the same feelings as artemis had from the first release. Which is to say has the potential to be one of the greats! Giving it 5 stars for now to encourage others to try it and for the dev to not abandon the project -

Loved this work of Underground studios. The story is pretty interesting and I look forward to this game. The graphics were 8/10 and the animations were 9/10. The only thing that I noticed was the details. Some textures looked blurry but thats's just me being picky...
Great job and can't wait for Episode 2!!!! -

When you open the game, the opening of the game is cool, and the music of the main menu is also nice. The music and sound effects are also suitable for the game.
The storyline is very engrossing and interesting, the characters are very attractive, the renders and animations are really awesome, the racing animations are super cool, and there are a lot of dialogue options.
There are also a lot of options for the message feature, and I've selected almost every option in the messages to see different texts, so if you select the wrong message, you might miss some scenes.
When you are racing, there are many options for you to choose, and there is a time limit. After all, you are racing. So how you want to drive is up to you!
Of course the most important thing is how do you want to treat the women around you? To be a good guy or an asshole? Your own story to decide for yourself!
I spent about three hours playing this game, maybe because I'm a slow reader, but this is just Episode 1, and there is so much game content.
The beginning of this game is definitely one of the best games I have played recently. Trust me, this game is definitely worth a try.
Underground Studio definitely deserve more attention and support!
