VN - Ren'Py - Single Again [v1.24.1] [Clever name games]

At first, I was a little put off by the style of rendering the women with large heads and large eyes. But after a short time, I got used to it, and it gave the story a unique character. I enjoyed the game very much, and found that it was very well written, and very much worth playing.

One of my favorites! I've been playing (and supporting) this game since v0.03 and the story is growing on me more and more with each update.

'Single Again' does not excel in originality or beautiful visuals, even though both are far better than average. But if I'm honest, I've seen many games with higher quality renders and more detailed characters. And also the setup (single dad taking care of one or more daughters) is not the first and definitely won't be the last in its kind.

What does set this game apart from others however, is the writing. Specifically the build-up and the realism in character personalities. In my opinion 'Light of my Life' is the only FD incest game with a more realistic plot, and I think 'Single Again' is a close second.

In these games, the father character is not some incredible sex-craving maniac who suddenly decides he wants to have sex with his daughter(s). Instead, the MC acts like an actual father, but is slowly being corrupted by his daughters, instead of the other way around. I really enjoy this different perspective because even though the build-up is slow, it feels much more 'real' and is therefore much hotter when something does happen!

That's also why I don't understand the criticism on the character of the MC. Does not wanting to have sex with his daughters right away make him a loser? Why is it called 'corruption' if a female character needs to be persuaded, but if a male character acts somewhat realistic and doesn't want to fuck his own daughter he's suddenly a 'simp' or 'celibate'?

I actually found that this was very refreshing in comparison to the dozens of games where family members just fuck each other because their mom/dad/brother/sister 'looks kinda hot'....

And the real fireworks have yet to start!

What a god awful experience, what is supposed to be a story driven VN turns out to be 5 hours of mediocre grammar, poor writing and an "awkward father that doesnt want to fuck their daughters" cliche.


I would say more but the game is in early development. I gave it 2 stars because although the main character is the most forgettable character in VN history, he has a good heart... he's still boring tho.

This game has everithing to be great, but the MC, I like the girls a lot, all of them, and I like the pacing, although slow, I like the story so far, and I like the renders, and although I don't like the MC so much, I understand why he acts as he acts, or better, thinks as he thinks, my problem though is: although the Mc thinks like a celibate that doesn't like the though of him wanting to touch his daughters innapropiartly some times in game a cognitive dissonance happens and you get the option to touch them innapropartly just to be thrown in a game over, these choices don't make any sense, both because of the characters personalitty and because of some of the reactions, thre shouldn't be an option if it isn't something that character would actually consider, at least not yet, maybe soon after he finally acepts that he wants them, they feel uncessessary and out of place, not the game overs, at least not most of them, but the choices that lead to them.

edit: The unskippable incredibly slow mini-movies bothered me enough to knock 0,5 and the way the MC sees sex work made it go down another 0,5, I'm afraid of where his personality is going, I hope I won't have to drop this game

Great characters. Fun flirty story. Charismatic art. Pacing is refreshing and the only downsides so far are the standard male protag fighting his own nature and his own instincts in a tedious manner to artificially prolong the journey to the inevitable and relieve the guilt over the incestious themes. Reminiscent of DMD in that we, as players know what we want, but the relentless inner monologue of the MC is slowly evolving towards acceptance. A fairly necessary trope of this niche, but the main girl is charming and clearly knows what she's after. Author throws in some daydreams and insta-lays to keep things from getting to slow. Good so far. Keep up the updates .

Review of version 0.08
This is a very cute game about the budding romantic relationship between MC and his "daughters".
The MC-s long struggle to not see his daughters, who become more and more flirty towards him, in a sexual way make a much better story than the usual MC suddenly realizes that his family member looks sexy and immediately becomes a perverted creep we see is a lot of games.

This slow buildup however means that even if the game offers many hours of gameplay, there is barely any erotic scenes between MC and his daughters.
There are some side sex scenes and some scenes that happen during MC dreaming or fantasizing which are actually not bad but in the current version at the time of the review the maximum that happened between MC and the girls is seeing them naked and some kisses.

There are some issues why the game didn't receive a full score from me however.
I have no problem if the graphics are not top notch in a game or if the style is not very realistic, so this is not the issue. My problem is that the game uses a mixture of models with different graphic styles. There are some characters that look close to real life, like MC or Vanessa for example, and there are the daughters who look more like characters from a Disney movie.
There are also some characters that might use a 3rd style which is also very "cartoony" like Beth for example.
This is not such a big issue normally, because game is POV so MC is not shown much together with the girls but looks extremely bad with Vanessa and Beth, who often appear together.
A very important plot device is that the apartment where MC and Abby move in at the start of the game has only one bedroom and one bed. In other games using the same plot device the MC-s family is usually forced by some circumstances to live in that specific apartment and cope with the situation. In this game I don't feel they had no other choice and therefore the whole conflict seems fake. Yes, they don't have much money and no other place to stay, but apartment is in a well situated area and is in a very good state. MC was renting it out before. From this money they should be able to find a somewhat worse apartment with 2 bedrooms. Also MC seems very hypocritical about this conflict when he always sleeps in his underwear which is part of the reason he is not willing to sleep in the same bed as Abby. Don't tell me he doesn't have a t-shirt or some other pants he could use other than his suite!
Some things with the timeline seem off a bit. According to her Bio Shannon finished high school and then met her first husband, but Becca was born when she was only 16, so she should have been still in school. Also the timeline barely leaves enough time for her to get another guy after breaking up with MC. I also don't know why dev had to make the timeline so that Abby's mother started having sex at age 12-13 according to the story which seems to be a bit early. I'm not sure whether that was a mistake.

The game's first part was not so enjoyable for me sometimes even irritating. MC constantly napping like a narcoleptic (in hindsight this might have been because of his nightmares but as this wasn't explained at that time nor was it important later on I find it meaningless), Lily's constant but justified bitching (MC seemingly couldn't learn she doesn't like he calls her that in the 10 or so years they lived together), the repeatedly shown nightmare sequence (that later turned out to be important with the appearance of fairy Abby but first you had to go through it 3 times seemingly pointlessly as MC didn't even remember it) and so on but the game becomes better as the story goes forward.
In later parts the relationship with the girls seems to be advancing nicely, some looming dangers (divorce, telling Abby about her father) were relatively successfully avoided, hopefully non of the future traps will turn into a depressing overly dramatic plot that takes a long time to resolve and the relationship between MC and the girls will progress further without major setbacks.

This is a great VN which I have really enjoyed playing (this review is for v0.08) so far.

The main storyline with the daughters is a fantastic slow burn. As a testament to the great way the story unfolds, I now almost have a fetish for the body type of the main daughter Abigail (big bottomed).

I love love love this VN, but if I had to point out some flaws, they would be:

• grammer. Lots of your/you're issues
• quickie side plots: the main storyline is a slow burn, but the side character sex scenes are by contrast a little too fast and unrealistic ("Hi I'm the daughter of the judge. She told me a lot about you, step into my office so that we can have sex")
• The character model skin texture of the woman in the lesbian couple is too yellow. She looks weird compared to all the other models.
• MC is meant to be 40ish, but his model looks like a 25 year old.

Highly recommeded

I was saving it and got dissapointed. I thought it was a slow burnning but as times passed i noticed there was nothing burning actually.
Theres text and text and text, and "meaningful" events have 1 render
So far yo see more times mc masturbating than any other action. For moments looks like the story is not about the mc, who is a mood breaker all the time questioning things, second guessing and stammering like a nerd boy.

Thats the thing with not having point system. if theres math involved theres some sort of rules. This way dev sets the rules so he can come up with this bullshit mc who refuses everything by default.

Not mentioning how convenient and ridiculous is that both fathers of the girls left, and the mother that is alive is a bitch.
But even though the girls are always close, takes so much time building god knows what, im guessing the character arcs or patreon subs, and then you get to have sex with a random girl that you met once, and is a lesbian (this one you can chose not to) and a random waitress.

Again it is like the dev knows the game is bullshit and just gives filler fanservice sex. Whats the target audience here? im reading mixed signals.
It is what it is. Right now the story is not worth it.

Art is unique, but the girls have the same square face, the same nose and the same eleyashes and eyebrows. Lighting is quite dull so the result is average i would say.

EDIT after one year:
The dev says there is no NTR, but he writes an open minded girl who talks about liking sex a lot, and she has a boyfriend, and a date with him. Maybe the actual thing never happens, at least onscreen, but that thing called writing has already established that there is 100% chance that she actually fucks her boyfriend. If a writer doesnt understand those basic rules, maybe he sucks. And the worst part if you like NTR is that you wont have the actual thing, so congratulations pissing off everyone.

EDIT2:
Afterplaying till the end of 0.13 im gonna put things in order to tell myself from the future if i sshould play this game. There are slow burns and then this. A slow burn is a candlein a stormy night when power has gone down. This game is a campfire in the night in a tropical Island, and its a stormy night, but hell is coming down from the sky, so the campfire is 100% water.

What you get in this game is:
Cheap lesbian scenes, masturbation, dream scenes wher girsl are turned into fairies and ocassional fanservice sex with some sex release side character. Those scenes i dont know how they are, cause when i get mad i ignore side characters, cause i know they are there for that purpose.
Adn you get sex scenes when you masturbate and the mc imagines tins with some random girl. The problem is the same mentioned before, and it is that i dont care about sex cenes without context, when there is 8K 120fps porn out there. (sorry devs, your random fanservice 1fps sex scenes cant beat that)

You start the game and you have 3 daughters, one i think is a real daughter, with this one you can tell is a slow burn, (i may reluctantly agree to that term), the other one that hates you and has daddy issues, and the other one, that is the smart one that wants the family "united" in a very literal way. With those other 2 there is no slow burn, there is character development, in the case of daddy issues girl, and a lot of teasing from the last one. both of them are not related, just daughters of the exwife.

Sounds good. The thing is, there is so so so so so very much to read until you can notice any pattern that makes you think this may be and adult VN, that is really hard not to skip some conversations (many fo them serve little or not purpose). For instance there are quite some conversations about topics that repeat, for instance Abby haircut. Conversations about being hungry, or covnersations about something being wrong that go on and on and on. This last type make the MC look like a beta, and a hypocrite
For this and the actual pacing this game has a serious issue building up interest, it is so empty that in your mind you dont see any hint that something interesting may happen for the next 3 years of development. This is a big issue cause almost makes your brain shut down and disconnect from the game, and once you disconnect, the things that may happen have less interest.
So things take a lot lot lot lot lot of time. You may have to read like 6 or 7 hours of text before getting a handjob, a real meaningful handjob that has an impact on the development of relationships.

Being fair, eventually the game offers payoff for the bullshit, is not wnough in 0.13 and sex scenes are not the best, not even close, but at least they are realistic. The girls are more mature than the MC, he is the tenager here.

Fixing the pacing a bit and offering something meaningful, or toning down the MC fake morals that are dragging everything, would improve my rating.

Edit for 1.18
More dreams, more memories, more fantasies, more "she is off limits", when Abby has actually any screen time, more and more side characters. Now Lilith and Becca are confirmmed Nymphos.
The MC is still weak as fuck, it doesnt look like he had 3 daughters, he doesnt even look like he had sex, ever.
Masturbating in dreams? Dev is desperate to offer something with Abby without actually offering anything at all. I hope this lie of agame stops and give as anotoher virgin to the altar of virgins. Too many years and a main character is off limits.

Visually and storywise is not worth playing it more than once. Every time deducts 1 star, is tedious. Final rating is 1.

Another edit for 1.23:
More and more dialogue, more updates, and in some of them, the main hcaracter disappears from the story, and when it gets back into it, no matter the situation, nothing will change with her. Any progression is stalled from that first day she wanted to shower together, It is more like it regressed.
That has a clear negative point, and it is the build up, cause right now there is no anticipation, cause YOU AS A PLAYER are aware that the story it is being designed that way, artiffically to achieve results that don't progress that main character. The main character is not moving from his mindset even the tinest bit, he is not easing into it, nobody is trying to actually convince him, not even the super manipulative Becca, so the design of the game it is too obvious when everything else is almost an unavoidable fuckfest. For instance I play with the playthrough picking always the wrong choices for meiko, and in the end I find myself with single choices where you can not avoid stuff with her.
With other characters some times you pick an unrelated and harmless option and you are done.
In one of the latest updates the dev went as far as making you have sex with the main character in a fantasy, Well done!! I still remember those old times when you would hear the dev bragging about the slow burn and all that, and now you see the game full of lesbian dream fairies, and have the first sexual intercouse with a main character in a dream/ fantasy sequence. Well, the Mc is still spineless, only when it is convenient.

The only decent thing is that ther was a couple of updates to some designs, but the writing is still conveniently trashy and dialogues are too,too, tooo long.

Firstly let me say this, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I only wanna rate and review this game just to add a little balance. The game I believe is only 3 stars at best. I wavered on giving it 2 or 3 and decided on 2 because there's a lot of 5's and the game overall is below average when you get down to the meat and potatoes of it. It's a good 2 though not a bad 2.

Firstly lemme get into the things I liked. I like how the dev makes this game without a point system. Some choices do lead you to a game over and I believe they may have some longer ending effects where you feel like a few things may payoff later. I also liked the graphics, though it's mixed feelings on it , I'll give it more of a plus than a minus just for the fact that it's something a bit different.

The MC is in his late 30's, almost 40's and so is his ex wife, but they both look like they may be in their early to mid 20's. The girls, (his daughter and step daughters) are all over 18, but they look like they're younger than that. That is the only drawbacks to the graphics. The last thing I like was the attempt to TRY to prioritize story and the character development over pointless sex scenes. That'll always gain positive points in my book.

Okay, now onto the meat of the game. Firstly, this game likes to use A LOT of text, to get to it's point. Now while I say a lot of text, it's not walls of texts that it likes to send your way, but rather, it'll go on and on about the same point over and over when going over it once would suffice. A lot of the characters like to go over some of the same things over and over.

It also has the problem of thinking that it's like slow burning a potential relationship, when in reality it's just dragging things out ultra slow. Now sure, nobody who's related are just gonna instantly just start throwing themselves on their daughters, so the game kinda goes out of it's way to make the MC seem like he's not a pervert. Yet it really just makes him a poor character.

I look at games like DMD, that do this real well. In DMD the dad and the daughter progress at a degree that seems as natural as that kinda thing can be. Maybe it's a bit out there, but it's a game. This game just continues to trip over itself and it's plot. It's not as bad at this as Alison Fall of the Apple. But it is quite grating how this game seems to go nowhere really over a long period of time. And when you're a plot focused game and a character focused game and you're not really progressing those things then that kinda is a problem.

So yeah, can I say the game is bad? No, thought it will frustrate you if you're waiting for anything truly meaningful to happen. The plot is slightly below average, the characters are about average. You have a daughter that's pure an innocent who loves you, two step daughters, one who hates you inexplicably but it's all about her "tough outer shell" that I won't spoil here. The other step daughter loves you, she takes on the role of older sister, so she kinda backs you up against your other step daughter, while also encouraging the MC's daughter who has some confidence issues.

The older step daughter is also attracted to the MC and the tease in the situation. Idk, the characters are like in the middle somewhere. There's a lesbian couple involved, a cheating bitch of an ex wife, and others, but none are truly truly remarkable or everlasting.

This game is alright. If the art catches your eye and you have time to burn and don't mind an ultra slow burn story, then go for it. But if you want something more engaging and a better version of this story except with less family involved, then just go play DMD if you haven't already.

Ok, this game has one of the best stories out there!

I love the charakters and the build up. The three daughters are fun and diverse and the you slowly grow together.
Even though it is just v0.08 it already has a long and well developed story.

The only thing i do not like that much are the dream sequences but you can skip them so...

For now there are not many and not that much fun H-scenes butt the two biggest are good.

I just hope, there are not to many more new characters in the future!
The ones already established are good and I hope to see more of them and not a load of unimportant and "blank" new ones...

Nice setting, good looking girls (if you like this style).

But after 90 minutes playing and reading A LOT of text ... it's just not for me.
Story, character and relation building is important for a good VN, but here .....

You get long dialogs (and with long I'm talking about a A4 page long), where two images just repeat .. like "looking into your eyes" and "looking sideways" or "smile" and "don't smile".
The expressions don't fit to the text, because the two renders are just repeating every few clicks you read through the story.

Lewd Content?
Not much in 90 minutes in game, except one masturbation scene ....
And that scene I would rate 1/5.

This VN seems to have a lot of fans, but it's just not my thing.

I previously gave my thoughts on the VN, but didn’t Star it. The MC’s a bit of a ball of anxiety, can’t stop being befuddled, and doesn’t understand 18 is legal, but otherwise I really enjoy the story and characters. Cheers to the Dev on good work.

Update after 0.08
Going to review this again now that I’m caught up. It’s certainly left me feeling better than I did when I reviewed it at the halfway point. l think the points I made were valid. There’s still a lot of weird things going on in the game and they’re almost all coming from the story. It feels that the dev doesn’t know what to do with the main character. He seems to jump between confident and blushing bride. Some odd plot points as well. I get that it’s early doors and the foundation isn’t there for the MC to sleep with any of the main list of love interests but throwing in sex scenes with random characters seems forced. I’m guessing the Dev needed to in order to appease the players who would probably foam at the mouth if there’s an update with no titties.
---
I'm only about halfway through so far but I find this a very difficult game to play. There's a lot going on that, although not WRONG, is sufficiently not right to rub the player up the wrong way. Or maybe it's just me.

The renders are good. Clean and distinct which is a nice change but they're almost into uncanny valley territory. I don't know if it's the eyes but it just feels odd. Not to the point where you stop because it's a chore to look at but you can definitely feel it when playing. On the plus side the animations are smooth, albeit somewhat short.

Probably the main issue I have is with the characters and the story they're put in. The MC feels like a wet biscuit in terms of personality. It seems the games focus is very much on the sisters. Which is fine, but the MC feels almost hollow in comparison. It's not helped that probably the most distinct plot point around the MC is when he dreams of the day he discovered his wife was cheating on him. But it's played out like he's reliving some traumatic event (which it was) which his mind has repressed (which it obviously hasn't). I don't NEED to see the same scene played out a little bit more each night when I'm playing. It could have been done once and then maybe moved on to giving the MC a bit of a flavour. All we have by the point I'm playing is a potentially failing estate agent who is about to be divorced and lives in a one bedroom apartment with his daughter.

The premise of the whole game also seems to be a bit peculiar. As mentioned, the MC is about to be divorced from his wife, but there's a lot of talk over who will get what in the divorce. But it also talks about a prenup. So I'm not sure what the issue is as surely that means who gets what will be set by the terms of the contract? One of those plot points which will probably be cleared up as you play but it's confusing going forward. I'm also not sure how in the name the ex-wife is cool with her two daughters still hanging out with the MC when they're getting divorced. Like... sure they're adults and all but it's not even mentioned and it seems a bit of a reach to imagine she'd be fine with it.

It's also not helped that any interaction the MC has with the middle sister (Lilith I think) is always the same regardless of anything which happened prior. The MC could be picking his nose or sawing wood and she's immediately "OMG you're such a pervert". Gets old quick. I think you actually get the option to tell her to do one and she apologises but then immediately goes back to doing it. If this is setting the foundation for plot and she secretly loves the MC or something then it's a piss poor way of doing it as she's basically written as being unlikeable and as such the MC is completely within his rights to tell her to bolt.

The MC's daughter is ok but she's kind of a paradox. She acts incredibly naively when talking about things, usually when it suits the plot, but at the same time there's dialogue which shows she's actually done all manner of sexual things with Lilith. So she can't say "breasts" or "orgasm" in front of the MC, but she was in a pseudo-lesbian relationship with her step sister before they moved out.

I suspect the game will continue down that path. Any interaction with the Lilith will follow the same pattern until there's a crisis point and it comes out she secretly loves the MC or something. The eldest sister will probably make a move on the MC now he's divorced and the youngest will probably continue to be virgin white until it suits the plot then she'll probably turn into a cuck-queen or something.

damn, i love this vn, its absolutely amazing, the writing is excellent, the daughters are amazing especially Abby and Becca, but so is Lilith. I want more, i hope to see more and hope this game will be finished.
It is a slow burn though with only a few scenes, but this is top tier writing here. There are only a few games on this site that rival this one in my eyes. Cant wait for future updates, there is a whole lot of build up and no pay off as of yet.

Okay, I gotta confess - I misjudged this game at first glance. Apparently from the review section - many others did the same. The babyfaces of the girls and the not-so-clever name (lol, BURN! ) "Single Again" gives you the wrong first impression that it's another DMD-like game where an old-ass pervert is trying his best to get into his "barely-legal" daughters' pants after getting divorced, lol. But that can't be further from what this game actually is. It has a very mature writing and some well-built characters, which totally surprised me. It's more like an Adult VN, rather than a porn game.

So let's get something out of the way - this is not a good fap material - at least not yet. I mean it has got animations, but currently, there aren't that many erotic scenes. So, if you're looking for that you might wanna look somewhere else. This game is more about the story - and it really shines in that area. What I found impressive is that the story is well laid out and multi-faceted, the writer certainly did some good thinking before approaching the story - it's well planned many events are uncovered as the story progresses which increases its believability. But I wouldn't say it's "super" realistic - and I didn't expect it to be, it's not supposed to be a work of literature - but you know what, it certainly resembles one! True, there are "slips" in writing - but it still strives to portray what any work of art tries to do - a reflection of human nature. In the case of this game - a contention between fatherly love and sexual love. And, to some degree, it succeeds! I mean, it's not an easy subject to write about when you're being serious about it - that can easily backfire - but at least, this game seems to be brave enough to try. I could even just appreciate the effort, but as I said before, it even manages to pull off the basics.

Now, let's talk about the characters - I would say they're "good enough" if not "great". The MC has the greatest level of depth among any father/daughter games I've played so far - he's not a pervert - he's just a man. He really loves the girls like his daughters - and that's not just something he says to himself - the story proves it from his actions. Now, for the lewd part, I could say for sure, even the noblest of men may have occasional "mental slips" when presented with a woman's body - be it his daughter's. So, how this game approaches the erotic part is acceptable - honestly, I could not possibly ask more of an Adult VN.

What makes this game great is the inner struggle of the MC - he's struggling with the fact that he's attracted to the girls he raised - that is a profound emotional battle - the game tries its best to portray that part. I'd say, Kudos to the dev, many devs would just ignore this part, which, IMO, is actually the most important part!

The girls too have some depth to them, but maybe not as much as I'd hoped for. Well, you can still relate to them - but they're not "special" in any way. The eldest daughter is a bit more complex and has a little more depth. Well, maybe there's still time to build them up further.

Now some final remarks about incest - is this an incest game? Depends on how you define incest - and in the end, maybe that doesn't even matter. What's more important is what you're looking for in an incest game - is it the taboo of blood-relation or the emotional struggle? This game is more about the emotional struggle of a father (yes, IMO, the MC IS their father) - the social taboo is just a backdrop.

i gotta be honest, i saw this game and did not expect much. the only thing that made me give this a chance is that i thought it was cute. But i gotta say, i'm very impressed. One thing that i really like about this site, is that good woks like this is high rewarded with ratings and love from the comunity. This is a work of art, the creator does shows a lot of love for his creation. The beginig was not very captivating, but it did got better in time. and now with the new chapter, i gotta say, i did feel a lot about it. keep up the good work, appreciate your work of art.

This game is great, the three daughters are just adorable and perfect. I highly recommend. Easily up there with LomL for daddy/daughter games. CNM is also very active and takes input from his discord, which is great.

Unique appearance, feels real despite the cartooniness. Adorable characters, lot of maturity mixed with mischief.

Love the natural way the dev dodges the incest issue, without making it forced. Still titillating to those of us that enjoy some depravity, but the sweet innocence of the MC's 'daughter' and the delicious dance the MC walks, as he reconciles his relationship with all three, is believable. All the flirtation leaves the reader hungry for more, in a good way

One of my favorites for sure

Pretty surprised by this game. The screenshots really made me hesitant to try this one but I'm glad I gave it a go in spite of that.

To begin with, I noticed a lot of small mistakes in the game: clipping, posing issues, typos, etc. This game definitely lacks the polish of a 5 star game when you consider all of these problems. Another thing I noticed was that there are countless copy-paste assets I have seen used 500 times before. I would prefer to see a bit more effort and polishing put forth into this game but like I said, these problems are small and easily forgivable when considering the whole picture.

Besides these issues, I'd say this vn has a lot going for it. The story gets rather interesting and I really enjoy the characters. Often times, I find it extremely difficult to get invested in a game and actually care about the people we meet. This game does just that and I can really appreciate all of the characters. The writing and dialogue impressed me for the most part.

One issue with the dialogue is that it's a little odd at times especially in the earlier chapters conversations sound almost like interrogations: mc asks a question, someone responds and this goes on for like 5 different topics. It's not entirely natural in my eyes. Also, the "choices" you are offered are pretty lackluster and a good portion of them result in game overs. I can't say game overs make much sense to me but that's not a big deal. Anyways, the choices don't really do much from what I can tell. The main thing is there are a couple small branching paths. For instance, the most influential choice you are offered is that you can get a massage or eat dinner based. What I'm trying to get at is that this feels mostly like a kinetic novel as of now. This may change in the future but I don't feel like I can change much in the story based on my choices.

Even though I have listed a handful of issues with the game, this vn really surpassed my expectations. It's really entertaining and there's a large amount of content. This is certainly a slow burn game but that often leads to more meaningful relationships and pay off in the future. I'm going to keep an eye on this one and I recommend doing the same. The dev has definitely created a special story here and I'm really glad to have put aside my hesitations about the art and tried this one out.

Well, this one surprised me.

The writing is great even though it's a bit long-winded at points.
There isn't a ton of characters, but every one of them is unique.
The story itself isn't some great epos with mind-blowing plot twists and needless cliffhangers. It has good pacing and relies mostly on character interaction which is nice to see.
I like that the characters have nicknames, it's a small thing that adds a lot of personality to the dialog.

Visuals are not great, but they are good. The characters are a bit alien-looking, but you get used to them pretty fast.

The one thing I really didn't like was the introduction. It shows you the main characters' biographies in big blobs of text. I think it could be replaced with a quick scene that tells you the gist of it.
