Did you even play the latest update?I have been waiting for so long to do a post about this game... and the reason why is the fact that I didnt know how hard I should go in on it . But today Im just in the "right" mood for it so here it goes.
This games prologue is, in my opinion, perfect. Wait wait wait... I know you didnt read what I said correctly and you assumed I wanted to say it was just great but no, it was PERFECT!! Its raw, violent, bloody, full of lore, has twists, kills and amazing renders on top of that ... Its everything the AVN "industry" needed, a true revenge story in a fantasy setting where the MC can just get payback for what was done to him and where a dev can just spread his wings and make something new and refreshing that could easily reach top 5 status. In other words, the game gives you the biggest reading hard-on of your life basically .
And then, when youre finally fully invested in what is gonna happen next in this beautiful and gripping story.... You get the hardest kick in the balls EVER when this dev made the executive decision of transforming this unique and inspiring concept for an AVN into a... a... FUCKING COLLEGE SIMULATOR??? ... Go from UNSTABLE DEVIL to CONTROLED BITCH????? and just embrace a "family/LIs" that abandon you for 1000 years to be tortured in an instant like nothing happened?????
Look, I get it... Devs want to make money out of these games (if I was one that would be one of my goals too) and I realize that these new devs see shit games like WVM and College Kings (for example) get so many patreons and money out of doing shit, full of bugs and waiting times college flicks that they want to do it too...
NEVER has a game FRUSTRATED me to this extent... and what it angers me even more is that theres no justifications for why this decision was made other than "if you are going to live in the world of humans, you need to learn about them"??????? And no, dont be fooled with the whole "it can be fixed" COPIUM because it cant and now we have to just try and appreciate this essentially new game if we can
PS: the reason i wont put this in the review tab is because i dont want to bury this game even more and I do wish the dev good luck on the project regardless
Most of these questions are answered or mannerisms are justified to some extent.
The intro did not have top 5 reading hard on status though. Without any sugar coating the writing stopped that ship from sailing real quick if you aren't lobotomized, it just read as a basic VN, the CONCEPT had (still) potential.
I suggest you read/play a VN like:
Desert Stalker
And compare it to something like:
Hot Sand of Antarctica
You'll notice they have a downright near duplicate concept, but one is executed, written, and plot laid out FAR better, and makes you question why you'd even play or CONSIDER 95% of the games on this site as "top 5" material. Don't set yourself up for disappointment by being impressed with this game's intro, you should have already known going into it that it was going to have it's rough edges. That being said, before this latest update it DID have a LOT of issues with it's plot holes, character mannerisms etc. But the update fixed a lot of those issues, with only more room to improve it. However the writing will probably always be an issue without a redo and thorough reevaluation on what is considered "good" vs "okay" vs "bad" writing.
