One of the most hyped AVN's in the business... is it that good?
Well, personally I have a feeling of 'what could have been'. The story is great, some of the characters incredible (MC and Luna the clear highlights) and the setting has loads of potential. However, there are plenty of setbacks.
The fact that there has hardly been any sex is pretty odd, and it could work if it was managed in some other way. For instance, perhaps an acknowledgement that the LI's hesitate because they are afraid someone might find out and kill the MC.
The square map and grinding are pretty annoying, but I kept on awaiting for a big reward... that wasn't ever there. I can tell the devs did a hard job, and that this game could have been a masterpiece, but it's far from that.
The setting was ideal for more choices, to have moral paths and choose what sort of character MC wanted to become, and such a thing having an impact on the realtionship with the family.
Hopefully, HopesGaming will improve upon these things and create a much better work in the near future. Or perhaps keep updating this one and take it to the level it deserves.
Aside from all those things, that I actually consider very important and should make it a 3/5, I feel that it deserves a 4, because there's something special there.
