A really interesting game with a strong potential for the future. The artstyle is really well-crafted and appealing, especially for the characters, although the lack of use of Renpy's default fade animations between character sprites hurts the presentation a little bit, as the characters often feel stiff and sudden when they change facial expressions.
The story itself is a weird mix for me. I consider it good, but it has a few issues here and there that need to be adressed. The first I noticed when playing is that the devs have trouble writing dialogues, and it shows. I'm glad to see they adressed the issue of the MC not having anything left to say after exhausting all dialogue options, but for the most part, the dialogues feel unnatural, with the only exception of a few minor characters like Sanders or Cynthia who feel like actual people with their own personality. It's hard to explain without showing concrete examples and spoiling, but most of the characters' discussions feel like they're reading a script rather than having a fluid conversion with each their own voice and way of talking.
For the plot itself, my main gripe with it is that it seems the devs wanted to get the porn out as soon as possible, and leave the actual meat of the story for later. There are quite a lot of characters in the game already (thankfully most of them are fine and likable enough), but most of the story consists of a series of storylines for each character that you have to follow until you get the girl to fall for you and fuck. Which, while a bit quick for my taste, would have been fine if the game wasn't constantly teasing for something major incoming later down the line, with the introduction of the goblins and the demons into the plot.
As it stands now, the plot only advances when it's necessary for a character storyline to progress, like saving Thea from a neighbouring village invaded by imps, or Eve and the elf village. It feels like it's only there to support the porn instead of being able to stand on its own two feet. Which results in a ton of content, both in art and writing, but little of it actually mattering, especially if you're not into the girls this content is for. Personnaly I am, but the sharing is unequal and I with more time was devoted to the actual story to see some of the more obscure characters under the spotlight for a while, like the librairian girl.
In conclusion, I feel this game could benefit from being more focused on its main plot and actually getting things done, now that most of the female character got a sex scene for them. The art is really strong, and the story itself, while not developed enough, is enticing enough to make me want to know more about the world of this game.
