Wow, this was a nice surprise! Very much a fun concept. I really hope there will be an option before max corruption for Catherine to bartend without her panties (or loose them to groping? sell them to chuds?) because it sure seems like a lot of her background poses were designed with flashing in mind, but that's not gonna work if she's already practically nude.
My 2 cent review if anyone cares about a rando's opinion: Good aesthetics good writing. I enjoy a slow grind but, not when every day is basically the same. You could compress the timeline (meh) or go back and add more parallel content for variety (alternate ways or additional ways to grow corruption, rep etc). I kinda of enjoyed the puzzle of discovering the new recipes for the brewing, but have to say eventually I just cheated drinks because more busy work felt bad on the already repetitive aspects (and managing the money for brewing just felt like it was really slowing things down in the beginning). Some people have commented Catherine's corruption feeling uneven, and it might be true, but it does not bother me as much as some games due to the kind of out there world setting and heavy emphasis on satire in the writing. That said the description and the early game makes it feel like you will be trying to balance IO's influence and corruption and what not, but at least so far theres not really a meaningful mechanic for that other than just ending the game. Personally I hope she eventually gets to have some influence on IO (It is a relationship and IO's changing so theres some hope for some two-way influence to go on, maybe not a full on power bottom, though id be cool with that as an option)
TLDR, great game so far, but grindy. Sparing use of the cheat chicken helps.
