PROS
- Renders are excellent, no grainy renders here. Lots of attention to detail, there is an effort to vary the facial expressions, something even the bigger devs don't do.
- Some of the best sex scenes I've ever seen. The added SFX makes them seem x1000 better. Definitely up there with the best AVNs.
- No clicky grind or time-wasting mechanics. 90% VN, 10% freeroam/sandbox. The freeroam elements are straightforward and short.
- Characters actually take off their shoes before entering homes (woow the attention to detail guys).
- The way the UI, phone apps, and menus look and how they are organized is just phenomenal, very nice work.
- I agree with some of the other reviews that writing in the beginning was pretty poor. Some of the dialogue sounded like it was written by ChatGPT. But I won't penalize the dev for something he improved on. The newer chapters writing is decent with mature conversations and minimal filler. The conversation now have somewhat of a meaning or at least leads somewhere. My only hope is that the plot stays down to earth, so many devs eventually go for these convoluted scenarios like drug cartels, mafia, evil govts, superpowers, etc. Keep it simple, IMO.
CONS
- For some reason, If you quit the game and then reopen the game, you lose all your gallery pictures (I never installed any mods nor used old saves).
- So far, its very linear. You cant pick a particular path or stop pursuing a girl you don't like. You see everything in one playthrough. Its like you're being told a story and you're along for the ride. I'll update my rating if this changes.
- Its uhh.. definitely not the most "diverse" game out there lol... literally ALL of the 20 or so characters are caucasian/white. I don't wanna be "that guy" nor do I wish the dev to go full Netflix on us, but the lack of variety hurts. Too much of any one thing is dull.
