Reviewing the Final [Completed] release.
If you're looking for a good story to entertain you or awaken your dead heart, keep looking. If you're looking for lame porn setups and plots that you could see on amateur PH, you're in luck.
The renders look pretty good. In 2022 there's a lot better out there, but they still look good even against most modern competition. They look a little plastic, but at least they avoid the silly, overexaggerated expressions you see often in Daz renders. Some of the animations aren't great, but there are some pretty impressive animations, too. The biggest problem visually is MC's dick is too big at easily more than 14 inches. The next biggest visual flaws are mounted on Mia's and her Landlady's chest: each with a pair of LA pornstar tits. It's not just the size, but they have the rigidity of a pair of overfilled 500cc saline implants. Don't get me wrong. I like big tits, and in 3DCG porn games artists have the opportunity to depict big, perky, yet still natural(ish) looking breasts. Here, they went with the surgically enhanced aesthetic.
I like a good story with my porno games. This one does have a story, but I wouldn't call it a good story. The execution of the writing and grammar are quite good. I'd even believe the writer was a native English speaker despite the comments in the renpy files being in Croatian. Despite readable sentences that concisely and accurately convey the things the writer wants to communicate, the story he decides to tell sucks. Objectively, the MC is pretty despicable, unless you want to debate the ethics of pharmaceutical assisted sex or tricking a guy into tying up his girlfriend to make it easier for you to assault her. There aren't really any choices to be less of an ass. He's the Designated Hero, so even though he's a creepy perv with a fucked up understanding of consent, his sister forgives him all of his transgressions (except one discovered at the very end). Her corruption progression is inorganic and unbelievable at almost all times. Character development is pretty inconsistent, and character growth also happens unexpectedly, which can be okay when done right, but this isn't. While Mia is never portrayed as sexually inexperienced or naive, she isn't shown as being terribly promiscuous early on. However, in the third act, she laughs off revelations that she's taken three dicks simultaneously before all the story began, which I think we can all agree is both a fairly libertine act and worldview. Act 3 tries to rescue the unemotional, inauthentic, gratuitous plot for the first two acts, but it comes too late to give any real feels unless you, the player, for some reason fell in love with the pixels on your screen, not because the characters had any real connections (other than P into V/A/M) before. The drama never has any real tension because it was never built up to properly. There are a few choices in the "game" but they only impact a few lines sprinkled throughout the novel, never actually any branching paths. It's a kinetic novel.
The sequel's description claims to offer choices and perhaps more of the emotional depth and complexity that showed up in the third act of this game. It might be better than this game, but that's not too difficult to do.
