I'm glad that I randomly discovered this game, because it proved to me that Daz can look beatiful.
Character models are excellent with some minor exceptions.
1. Mila and Bella look very similar to the pre-made Daz models and they're supposed to be major characters.
2. Sometimes, some body parts look unproportional to the whole body. Mostly it happened with Bella and Nami. Nami's ass 60% of the cases looks like she has a pelvic fracture lol and Bella's ass looks like it's got some implants in.
3. Summer's model from flashbacks looks kinda like a scaled-down adult person's face. A little bit creepy, but bearable and you can make a head canon for this anyway.
Otherwise, bodies and faces are fucking awesome. They look BEAUTIFUL AND NATURAL at the same time.
Little visual "movies" in between scenes are exhilarating.
One of the things that surprised me is the level of details that was put into backgrouns and scenes, like realistic furniture and decoration. Man, this is greatly appreciated.
UI - a lot of effort was put into this one. Especially the gallery menu. I dropped my jaw when I saw this shit.
Story - great story, really looking forward to seeing it develop in the future. Characters really make me empathize to them. If I was not mentally ill I would probably cry at some of the interactions. Mila, Bella, Victoria, her sister, they all make me feel something for them and that is 100% attributable to writing. One of the shortcomings of this story is the MC, because he is way too edgy. Being edgy is OK and it's believable, but what IS NOT believable is people's reaction to his behavior. Victoria remembers what you said when she broke her spine, but does not react in the future unless you chose encouragement. Mila changes her opinion of you only slightly if you act like a prick and you can still comfort her and take her out for a friendly dinner. Otherwise, everything's consistent and believable.
Sex - there is none, but this game is still sexy. You can easily jerk off to some scenes even though there is no sex because the models are so good. But yeah, the game blueballed me a little bit, because I expected a handjob from the disclaimer and I only got a nurse examination.
Honestly, I didn't play Where It All Began, so I don't know if the author is any good with sex scenes. Because making a good model or just a good animation is not the same as making a good sex animation, so we shall see. And if author is not sure if the animation is 100% worth it and is 100% at the same level as models and backgrouns then I think it's OK not to add any at all. Freeloading Family is still hot as fuck without a single animation.
Suggestions for improvement: Bella's and Nami's models, namely their asses. Maybe add some consequences for MC's edgy behavior in the past. Like, Mila's date goes smoothly, but she does not grow much closer to the MC because of their initial interaction (if you picked misanthropic choices).
