I went and gave this another honest try and man, I don't know what it is, but something about seeing the Shady Corner logo before any game automatically makes me mentally deduct 2 points or drop it a full letter grade.
Maybe it's the dialogue, maybe it's the Future Fragments discourse, maybe the gameplay and eaten or unresponsive jumps don't help the cause much either. I just get this feeling that this publisher has this air of over confidence, that the games they produce are a gift to the H game world now say thank you. Or it could be that I know some conversations regarding these games' development process is to toe the line and be safe so they can appeal to everyone. Much like how Future Fragments turned out, all the sexy stuff just falls flat, not erotic in the slightest.
Probably unfounded. That's my rant.
