EDIT: So I last played this game in May 2020. Now, 5 years later, having played it in July-August 2025, I can say I'm incredibly impressed and satisfied with the progression. The prologue was as hard hitting as I remember, Olivia is as breathtaking as she was back then, and there's now plenty of exciting content. The development of the relationships is amazing so far, I can't wait for more. I have to say I do feel a bit sorry for Brooke given some of the options - eg Vanessa. Speaking of which, I'm surprised by how much I find myself liking Vanessa, I'm very interested to see much more of her. Rachel's story so far has been surprisingly insanely hot, owing to her behaviour and speech with you.
But most of all, Olivia and Maddie are as enamouring and lovely as always. Especially Olivia, the number of screenshots of her I have are endless, I don't think I've seen a more beautiful character in any VN. She's just heavenly. I do like how an entire chapter entitled 'Crimson' was dedicated to her. Very fitting. At the beginning I thought Maddie would be my least favourite of the 3 girls, but surprisingly the tension with her just adds to her story, which I really like story so far. I'm just looking forward to more development with all of the girls, especially the ones I've mentioned here - and ofc much more with Olivia.
Only on other game has impressed me so much I had to write a review, that being Kindread: The Redburns, and if this game continues at this rate, it is easily going to be top 3 on this site.

Normally when I see a game that catches my eye these past few months I just add it to my list of games to eventually play on this website, but something about this game intrigued me, so I just up and downloaded it right then to play. And holy shit, am I glad I decided to do that. This game is absolutely stellar in just what it has so far.
First off, what probably caught my eye is the attractive girls and story heading (which doesn't actually spoil the plot of the beginning btw), so I went into the game expecting those 3 girls. But I quickly forgot about my interest in them once I met Gracie, every moment with her felt so immersive and I was completely hooked on the interactions with her. It lead to one of the best done sex scenes of any game so far, winding up the plot into a very interesting way... all in just the prologue.
Brooke is gorgeous. She and Gracie could honestly be the main girls of their own games, but the fact that Brooke is in this game too as another girl you can pursue just adds to the game's appeal. Gracie has almost no match of all the games I've played in how much I like her just because of the story, which makes me especially invested in Olivia. You get so invested in her that you can honestly be brought to tears in the story that has been shown so far, which I indeed was (and once again, all that is just the prologue).
When the 3 girls finally show up, I was gobsmacked as much as the mc was, seeing Olivia. The models make the story believable and they're truly beautiful. But not just that, so are their characterization and personalities. The fleshing out they've received so far makes them very intriguing and I'm greatly looking forward to see how the mc's relationship with them pans out. Olivia esp, because she looks so much like her mother.
The models have been uniquely made with regards to their skin and complexion and general look. That and their personality is why they really feel like real characters rather than generic sex interests like other games. The game has a unique relationship and character progression that impacts both your personality and your interactions with the characters, you can be dark if you want, lustful or wholesome. I'm not even going to have a look at dark, I don't want to see the girls treated poorly since it seems to be more than just domination from comments, but the happy/lust stats are more than enough for me.
This game is a masterpiece so far just from what I've seen, the story from the very beginning isn't what you expect due to the fact that enough info is given in the website synopsis to hook you but not enough to spoil the game. Even the main menu gives me this strange mixture of wistfulness, sadness, happiness and beauty. This could be the makings of greatness.
All in all, this is the first game I can say legitimately made me cry, Gracie is one of the best girls ever created for one of these games and this game is so well done so far in terms of it's characters' models, interactions, sex scenes that if it continues at this rate it'll easily be top 3 on this site. I absolutely can't wait to see more of this game. 10/10.
