a bit of patience, and a lot of trial and error. Also a sprinkle of determination.
Yep, the renders are great, but I have no clue if I'm going to make it to even where the current development has gotten the game. I keep having to stop because the script pisses me off.
I get it, in order to have misunderstandings happen, have the MC make mistakes to raise the tension and stakes, you have to have the MC not know things.
But you're so heavy handed about it. Mom's not ready to talk about lineage, MC's not telling Mom about the murder and spell, Amelia's not talking about her and her mother's past or reasons to being in the town now, and little sister is pushing MC's hormones.
All at once.
All these characters are showing the MC a huge lack of respect, and since the MC is the avatar of the players, that's you the developer showing the players a huge lack of respect.
I just reach my limit, save and quit until the next update makes me curious enough to continue again.
I've made it to the MC's room with Erica and Amelia and saving and quitting once we've reached
"Haha, I guess someone likes what he sees."
How does that even come out of her mouth given the events of the days so far? That's just horrible script writing.
Edit... Came back to this with the release of 0.88.
There are no chapter marks so I have no idea how far along I am, I presume not far. I can make it through about 10 minutes of game play before I get angry about how the MC (and thus me the player) is being manipulated and jerked around by every single NPC in the game, his mother, his sister, the evil uncle, and of course Isabella. I can't even take the MC's acceptance as any feeling like the MC is being given a choice because she's included making him more open to things and making him and those around him horny as part of her spell. The cemetery / mausoleum talk is pretty much as far as I'm going to get.
"Part of your protection incantation, included something to decrease your inhibitions, and increase your lust, in certain situations."
Well, at least she told him he's been fucked with. But that after being told there's nothing to go back to and her avoiding saying anything about what's happened to his father. There's still much "but I can't tell you about that yet" going on and I'm done with it.
I can't enjoy any of the H scenes because at no point is the MC able to give his informed consent to any of it. I hope those who enjoy the game continue to do so and the dev is very successful, but this game apparently isn't for me.
