Most of the reviewers here don't know what they're talking about and just gave up 5 minutes into trying. Discord isn't needed, the content is available in the download links given. I'm not sure why the dev initially wanted to release the content only through discord, seems inconvenient and won't help in dodging stuff like Patreon bans but whatever. Not paywalled, not even needed to go to. Just spend 10 seconds actually reading the first post to find what you need.
The minigames also aren't terrible like most people are saying. Initially they seem horrible, mainly the seduction minigame, but it is intended that some are very difficult until you get your stat up. The big issue right now is that this isn't well clarified in my opinion. A little demo seduction event that's like a scripted defeat, and then the game showing an easier one instead would help out here.
Let's look at what the game is without these minigames. Cut the minigames and just have a flat stat check for passing seduction and sex minigames. How do you get those stats up? Grinding? Congratulations, the game now functions like hundreds of other open world games on this site. If you spend some time with the system and actually explore and find the easier minigames, this is still a grind, but one where you feel the rewards through gameplay. It's nice to come back to the challenges found in prior exploration and clear them when your stats are high enough.
This doesn't mean the game is perfect. The minigames are still a little grindy, more in the sense you have to do the same girl a few times to get your stats up. How the game works isn't quite made clear, like needing to actually find the hotel before you can rest, or you're stuck looping. The intellect minigame is pretty damn boring, and I needed to write it down just to clear. Also I think the AI images for the girls just look like crap, like all AI pics trying to do real people. It might be necessary for down the line when pregnancy is a noticeable thing but IDK.
I think this game can be good if the dev can keep it up and straighten out the kinks. It's certainly not a 1 star game.
