I honestly don't understand the hate I read from a lot of people here.
Of course, to each its own opinion and mine is that this is a really good and well written game.
Yes, the game is fiction and yes in real life these events would never play out like in this game, but still the MCs struggle to accept all the attention he is getting seems (under the given circumstances) legit.
Yes he is kind of spineless that he lets himself get pushed into some things he shouldn't be in to in the first place by making up lame excuses "it's her house", but here we are.
For me the game writing is very immersive, yes there is lot of dialog, but it still is fun to read and get the background stories of the characters.
Even the side-games (Lillith's Longing and Rebecca's Reckoning) provide even more depth to the characters, or at least the history how things came to be.
Of course these should be made after the main game is finished, but that's my opinion, (Yes I generally dislike any Christmas or Halloween updates too because all the resources go to a side story whereas I am dying to find out how the main story continues, that applies to all games, not just this one.)
I never got my hand on the older versions, so I can't compare the "old" with the "new" models, where a lot of people complain about.
Also i did not get my hands on the 1.4.1 version that was apparently hated for pushing Abby into a relationship with someone,
Something that she in my opinion clearly already has, yet is in denial, most likely because of her attraction to MC that she does not want to jeopardize.
(I am however quite curious how the original dialog was before dialed down to the current 1.4.2 version, where no relation is established yet)
There are some plot holes here and there, where characters act way more free in one scene, and seem to revert back to much more coy in the next.
This is especially the case with Mei if you ask me, in one scene she suggests taking the pictures as an initiation, on the next she is stammering again to ask or respond to even the simplest thing.
So for me the game is absolutely an recommendation to anyone who wants a more immersive story than a lot of simple "quickfap(tm)" games.
Some people seem to call the relationship between two characters in the game NTR, but as someone that seriously hates NTR content, I never ever felt this to be NTR, but more of an insight in the background of a character, or two in this case"
PRO:
- Nice graphics, Nice animation
- No sound FX (No fake moaning sounds)
- Great immersive story that feels kind of real (within the "unrealistic" sense)
- Optional Side-games if you want to have even more insight into the background of characters / other point of view, but if you don't, you can skip them.
CON:
- The updates schedule is very slow unfortunately, So I am afraid we all have to wait for 4 - 6 months before another update.
- Not particularly fond of the fairies in the the dreams as it sometimes drags a little, but they do serve a purpose in the game and give an insight into the struggles of the MC, so I'll allow it
- Mei; She is my least favorite character in the game. She is just a little...too much with her insecurities, I find dealing with her almost a chore. (And I agree that I don't find the model used for her appealing, but that's a matter of taste)
- Abby's storyline so far; Her interest is VERY clear to everyone, they even talk about it in the game itself, it is clear what has to happen, yet every time steps are taken, they just don't follow through. Which can be frustrating at time(Or just building anticipation I guess), but we'll see (Fractured Fairytales has a dream that seems to give an insight into a hopeful future)
