From the guys that brought you "Crusoe Had It Easy" comes another game with a similar formula. You play as a typical anime romcom protagonist beta male trying to get with his roommate (who can also be his sister [determinant]) in a short but cute tale lasting anywhere from 30 to 75 minutes (depending on the route/ending).
While short in length, the game boasts a startling level of variance in the form of "cheats" that drastically alter not only the appearance of the female cast, but their stories as well. For example, if you chose the "sister" option, the main female lead will be treated as the MC's sibling in the dialogue. And this doesn't just change the way the characters refer to each other, nearly every conversation involving the sister or the MC will include some reference to their relationship.
What was perhaps the most refreshing aspect of the game was the way it treated. . . "non-consensual acts." Unlike your typical porn game, the MC does not sexually assault his love interest with cavalier fervor, nor is the act treated as inconsequential by the plot. The MC has to go through a disturbing process of short-sighted rationalization to convince himself that it is okay to rape his partner, which he must then face the consequences of once the act is done.
With that said, the story does have its issues. The MC, regardless of how you play him, isn't very likable. At best he's a misanthropic beta lacking any traits that would normally attract a partner. He also makes some very uncomfortable remarks regarding the female lead's race if you chose the "brown" option in the options menu.
MC aside, the story is good for what it is. If you liked Crusoe Had It Easy, you'll enjoy this. And if you're on the fence, just give it a shot. At worst you lose an hour of your life that you would just spent jerking off to something else.
