VN - Unity - Completed - Stray Girl [Final] [Carnality INC]

Story is entertaining enough but doesn't have too much depth to it. The mini games can be skipped but the game overall is quite easy and simple and doesn't take long to beat. the animation is the saving grace of this game as it is quite good and there are a few good animated scenes and pictures

I played some of developer's previous games, they were not up to snuff i would say, with weird narrative decisions and pace and all the issues along with those, so i went in with prejudice but was pleasantly surprised. It's not a great game or anything, with a little over an hour of runtime it's a very simple story with simple premise, but for what it is it's surprisingly solid.

Narrative is finished and open to the potential sequel, there is a proper narrative arc and writing is decent, few characters there are in here are likable enough, animations are pretty good, the cyberpunk aesthetic and UI work in the game's favor.

Gameplay part of the training can be off putting to people but i didn't mind, essentially gameplay is a series of simplistic logic chains you match together like "Cat" + "Nail clippers" > "Nail care", then you mix "Nail care" with say "Fur care" and so on, it's quick and simple but i can imagine it being a chore for someone. Game mentioned you can skip it but i didn't find a reason to.

I probably will forget about it in couple days but for a short cyberpunk story about a found android it's very basic and simple but done surprisingly well, unlike previous works of this developer i didn't feel like i wasted my time at all. If you like the premise give it a go, it's short enough to check it out.
