Was introduced to this game after seeing the Eve/Jack cameo in CS. After several different path PTs I found it to be an engaging game. It has a captivating story, the renders look great and have noticeably improved as the game has progressed (particularly loved how well the renders of Cassie portrayed her smiley, happy persona), and interesting LIs. Some music in the game would have been nice, though I understand the dev is trying to remedy this. One word of warning…it’s quite easy to get the early bad ending if you play without a WT, and that ending is very nasty and brutal, and one not easy to unsee.
The one issue I do have with the game, however, concerns the MC. It’s been quite a while since I’ve encountered an MC in an AVN who is such a heavily flawed figure with no admirable qualities. He is portrayed as weak, pathetic, stupid and lacking self-esteem, takes criticism lying down and counters any praise he receives. In his relentless, repetitive internal monologues throughout the game he chastises himself for his stupidity, his embarrassing, shameful and moronic behavior, his overreactions to the silliest of things…etc.. It’s really overwhelming after a while. Even the LI’s get in on the act, constantly berating him and calling him a moron, idiot, dumbass, dufus, dork, imbecile etc. Yet you’re expected to believe the LIs fall in love with him for the odd act of kindness that he shows them. It’s a pity, because this takes the gloss off what is otherwise a decent game imo. Hopefully the MC will have a “partial awakening” in the coming update, because Day 6 Parts 1 & 2 were particularly bad in this regard.
