THIS should set the bar for 0.1 releases!!!
I gotta be honest this game is one of my absolute favourites. I had no idea I liked all this stuff so much. And the whole slow burn to me just feels like a game willing to put in the effort to set up and build up the characters, the stakes and the transition. It's been a long time since I got this excited and hopeful about the game, the last being the Fallout RPGM game which if you know, you know. God rests our souls.
Man the art is incredible and I'm not usually one to be vulgar but holy shit her pussy is god tier idk how or what or why, I know they never look like that irl maybe that's why I mean it is huge and holy crap it's incredible. Man keep up the good work this game is amazing! I'm gonna be keeping a close eye on this one I cannot wait for the next update! I also have to praise the detail to the dialogue and hidden things that just make the world seem so developed, like overhearing Nicholas on the phone or when you're walking with Daiki and you walk south and he's wondering where tf you're going. I truly hope we get to walk with these people more often and hear their thoughts because it adds so much to the world. For example the cheaper sausages guy could say something when you walk past regardless of whether you talk to him or not, though the heart is a nice touch. The length of the dialogue and the personality behind them really gives you such an insight to their characters and most of them seem entirely believable. This "demo" is LONG - and I hope that's a sign of things to come.
I will mention that the god mode doesn't seem to work. I didn't want to use it as I wouldn't invest in the characters if I didn't try and realise their situation, i.e suspicion. But if you don't understand what you're getting into beforehand and don't crank the numbers it can feel like sometimes you're doomed to fail. (Which I understand is intentional, Irene's guilt should be high as she does feel bad, Daiki should be struggling to be satisfied with a girl so resistant, and the husband should be suspicious of his wife suddenly disappearing and lying. Perhaps the message could be communicated more directly that the player isn't failing because Daiki isn't satisfied or because Irene is guilty. The only fail state is Eugene max suspicion and anything else is intended as part of the experience. Coz we gamers look at the stats and see it as failure) Which is why I admire the dev for putting a god mode feature in there for anyone to use for any reason but mainly for emergencies. It is unfortunate though as it doesn't seem to work, I had tried enabling it right before the sleep, before the day, before the event before the sleep. It also came up with errors when I tried loading the most recent save, perhaps I hit a particularly buggy part of the game but the god mode feature was not working for me at all.
And a message for the dev; Keep up the good work! Honestly your art is phenomenal, your game is incredible. The English is actually good and has nearly 0 spelling mistakes and typos. The dialogue is natural and believable and the whole world sucks you in. This game truly is one of a kind and something new and hopefully an inspiration for the standard of quality in future RPGM NTR titles! And you sir/madam are also incredible for having the intellect, the charisma, the experience and the confidence to be willing to fail and the ability to produce something so spectacular. You've got a loyal fan from me.
TL;DR Holy shit
