Perhaps this was very good once but as someone new I feel like that is not true now. It's quality workmanship applied in a misguided way. The game is slowly collapsing under a mixed identity, slow build up with little happening and a truly awful MC.
Positives
- MC & Bella- One of the few relationships on here that feel there is real chemistry. Chemistry that works because both people are broken. Whatever else I think I will give the dev immense respect for this because that is not an easy thing to pull off. It is one of the best dynamics on this site. It feels like there is a real spark there. Biggest problem is Bella is fun loving MC is not, as of right now that limits this dynamic. Seriously it's good, worth playing the game just for it. I expected to hate this route but it ended up been brilliantly done.
- Characters- Game has very good characters. Actually it's simply full of characters that are either likable, memorable or both. All also have their own interests and relationships outside MC which goes a long way to making them feel believable and builds the characters. They have unrealistic proportions in some cases (Mila) but mostly the women look hot. Also Mila's ass justifies them proportions, fuck realism in that case. Mega booty for life.
- Renders- I mean you can see for yourself it's high level. Same for animations. There is a real attempt to make the visual part of the VN pop and have scenes be visually striking. Once again massive respect for the work put in there.
Negatives
- Language. I'm not a native speaker but have lived in UK and US most of my life. Wormy, bibi in English make the character sound infantile and they pop up again and again, wormy also just sounds unflattering and gross that's how you describe a crawling crack addict not a dick. This is not how English speaking adults talk and those words do not work in that language it pulls you out again and again. What was wrong with dick, lil you, sausage, cock, dong and honey, babe etc? That really needs to be stopped.
- The MC (sorry this one is so long). Oh boy the games biggest problem. The two ton albatross dragging everything down. He believes he's some sort of string puller. When his plans as examples boil down to rob place, be violent and don't tell sister to have some sort of leverage on guy that wants to bang her...motherfucker have you not heard of an after school fight? These aren't genius he's utterly fucking retarded. He treats people like shit, isn't fun, is petty, immature and isn't insightful, funny, intelligent, kind nothing to make up for it. There's nothing there, he is an angry void to play. It's not interesting.
I'd give that a pass in your typical AVN where the "landlady" goes mad for guy that looks like a cracked out gollum and has the personality of A4 paper. We know what's up there. It doesn't fly or work in something more serious though. It feels like he wondered in from a different game. Oh as a bonus he's a teenager in a AVN that's more impotent than a 99 year old paraplegic.....fucking Yay!
Why do I want to play as this guy? He's awful.
- No Fucking. So there's no sex, to serve the story and build up. Except it crossed the line and stopped doing that already. There's 3 chars Mila, Victoria and Bella that are at the stage fingers, hands and oral at the least make sense. The dynamic is already at that stage. The fact these dynamics stopped progressing is holding the story back not enhancing it. This is without mentioning sex doesn't stop building a story or dynamics. You can well and truly eat the cake and fuck it in that regard. It's absence is really strange and brings issues. There was no reason both build up and sex can't coexist in a story.
The reason seems to be so the MC can wallow and suffer more. Which well do we not have enough of his bullshit to deal with without him been romantically and sexually incompetent as well?
- Identity Is Mainstream. If an AVN doesn't contain porn then it's competing with my time with other non pornographic stuff. It really is that simple and unavoidable. SG with sex scenes would blow 99% of AVNs on this site out of the water even with it's issues. It doesn't as easily compete with more mainstream books and VNs and that's a problem because it's closer to them than most stuff on Patreon or here. There's a reason something of this quality isn't on the front page even on a pirate site where it's free. It's a mainstream product and judged by that standard it simply does not stand out.
Conclusion
There's a good idea here. A broken dude crawling his way back from nothing and establishing himself, establishing relationships, making a future, revealing his past and the mystery and trauma from it. But the broken part has been allowed to go on FAAARRRR too long. It's the kinda thing an editor would drastically cut down for good reason. There is a point where build up becomes filler and this game smashed that point and just kept going.
TLDR Game with a great idea and visuals but has allowed it's story and chars to fester in a emodump.
