I generally don't leave reviews for games that I really like that already have a number of them, but... I can't help myself with this one.
After reading some other reviews, I had some reservations about this game. Frankly, from what I'd read, the ending didn't strike my fancy. That said, bravo. On a side note, since this hits a number of my preferences, dear G-d how did I miss this one for so long?!
Story: There are many parts with "porn logic" or where "two girls that are knowingly banging the same guy, willingly, don't work that way", and a few contradictory story moments, but overall it's not bad. And for this genre the story vs. "content" ratio is fairly well balanced. While it's not the ending I dreamed of, it's definitely heart-felt, real, and in a dream world acceptable.
Content: It's a finished game, so yeah, content is there. With my policy of "saving on all choices and the start of all sex scenes" on a first play-through it just about maxes the save slots.
Renders: Yep, another DAZ. It's not the best, but it's still pretty good.: A-. It also has a number of animations: A. Some are a bit choppy, but the "loop points" are pretty good.
Playability: It's a VN. Some complain about the lack of choices; again, it's a VN. It has a story it wants to stick to. Where some others give you the illusion of a path, this one is honest. I don't see that as a detracting factor, since as above, the story is pretty damn good and sets it up for the coming sequel.
Sound: This is kind of awkward actually. It's where you can definitely tell that this game was made in stages. Early game, not much at all. Late game, it's everywhere and suitable for the scene. I really wish before calling this "complete" that the dev fixed the disparity.
Bugs: I didn't hit a typical one until the "end of game" scene where they play back images from the game with music. Not perfect, but A+.
Grammar/other bugs: There a number of places with spelling errors and where the speaker shown isn't who's actually speaking. As a native English speaker, I can figure out what should be there, and while it breaks the immersion a bit, it's far better than most.
In a nutshell? Definitely on my "all time favorites" list. I know the sequel is in work, I haven't played what's done yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.
