I don't tend to play games that are still this early on in their development, but when you're stuck in the house all day looking for something to entertain yourself, you just have to bite that bullet when you see a game that looks this good.
It may be short, but it does not disappoint. There are very few games that can make such a strong impression with its very first version, but this one does just that with its emotional tugging of the heartstrings as well as the impressive quality of the renders and animations.
The story is perhaps one of the most original that I've seen and it's in this story where the game truly is at its strongest. There's immediate sexual gratifiation right at the start, which should satisfy those who are often frustrated with games that take years to incude even a single sex scene, but from there the story takes a sharp left turn as the main character's life is quite literally upended and the story picks up 10 years later.
From there, we move swiftly on to the arrival of the 3 main female stars of this game - Olivia (redhead), Allison (blonde), and Maddison (brunette) - who deliver both a heartbreaking and heartwarming body blow. Each of the 3 girls has a very different personality; Allison is warm, bubbly, and affectionate, Maddison is aloof, moody, and fierce, and Olivia is the calm stable lynch pin of the trio.
The character models are also top-notch with each one resembling a key character from the beginning of the story (an important aspect of it, buy the way), but they are also distinct enough as to not only make remembering which is one is which easier, but also to provide something for every player to enjoy; a fiery redhead, a blonde bombshell, and a raven-haired siren.
Finally, the gameplay. The game boasts a "fullproof" system where key choices will lead player-characters down a path of Purity, Lust, or Darkness. Such choices will drive the game's core plot, others will affect the player-character's "psyche" which will influence their behaviour, and relationship choices will influence the dynamic of each relationship with other characters. The choices are also colour-coded, and the screen will flash with the colour that corresponds to a particular type of choice. Currently there aren't many of these choices in the game, but what is there already gives you some idea of where each of these paths will lead and the prospect this in-depth system offers of having such freedom of choice to really guide the story how you want is something that I very much look forward to see play out moving forward.
Overall, this game shows tremendous promise and is perhaps one of the most impressive adult games to debut for a long time. Never have I become a patron of a dev so fast in my life and its meteoric rise in such a short space of time is a testament to its quality, especially given the difficult times we all find ourselves in. This game will undoubtedly become one of the most popular around as it continues to develop, and as agonising as the wait may be, I very much look forward to following its progress.
