v0.0.1
Review donquit
It's a touch above in the sandbox department simply by it's crisp UI; has an unfolding story; and sexy fat bottom women
Writing
Graphics, Gameplay, H content, etc
- it has a good pacing, though the plot of this release is simply MC going to his new apartment
- i find the self-narrated instructions to be too heavy handed, as if we are kids (like Dora the Explorer sorta narration, "What should we do next?")
- MC is really dull in personality so i'm wondering if there's any reason for that
- in addition it's off how Tracey (his new roommate) would be so overtly attracted to a regular jo - some development as to why would help make it believable. And I do see the poster foreshadowing MC getting a makeover
- however, she really was turning me on, my fav character so far, her mannerism is warm and exciting without being any of the extreme high energy stereotypes (such as manic pixie)
- Rebeka (MC's new actual landlady) is written well into her sexually-abstinent single mom trope
- the fact that both ladies are looking forward to living with MC has me looking forward
- i like the render quality, it's nothing insane but it definitely works
- my gripe comes with the models lacking facial expression range - scenes usually ping-pong the characters with an unchanged face
- there's the typical DAZ clothing wrapping unnaturally around the boobs, see Train Lady and the towel on Tracy
- nice UI art
- this sandbox is enjoyable, it's not overdone nor is it tacky, and it's not encumbersome
- but basically the appeal is the immersive choice bubbles in the scenes
- and i love the many options to ogle
- full soundtrack - in-game and ui sfx, bgs, bgm
- bj scene with jill needed more progression - it abruptly startson a semi-fast bobbing and a cum button already present
- the animation is good but on it's own like that with nothing else, it's offputting
- the ending dream animation was okay, could use some sex sfx

A good start but with substantial typos and a really poorly executed optional scene with Jill. The story is handled gradually which I like. Porn-wise, Tracey's part was the hottest for me.
Also, I'm blueballed by the poster: View attachment 4421238... i want to behold all those diversely shapely butts
I agree with most of Anon280's review here. The full review of 0.1 will follow later, but there's a couple things I want to say/add:
- The amount of effort the developer put in the mechanics and worldbuilding really has me hopeful for this game.
- We have a few underexposed renders that could benefit from a main light on the character, but looks good otherwise.
- The dialog system is a big win, as is the exploration and pacing of the game.
- Plus the hinting at mystery, intrigue and a bigger story in the first episode is always good.
HOWEVER
If you are going to pull of a heavy dialog game, your dialog needs to be able to lead the player.
The developer has consciously chosen to do implement dialog scenes where the visuals run static between one or two renders. That means all our attention goes to the dialog. And while I think the dialog is well on it's way to becoming leading, it still feels static and sometimes executed not as well.
That's a pretty harsh thing to say, but there is intense power in dialog. I'm sending the dev a full scene I transcribed and updated in order to hopefully get across what I am talking about. I'll leave two examples here:

TL;DR: Good first episode. Needs a bit of work on the finishing touches, but has something special going for it. I hope the dev makes this game great!
