Review for [v0.0.2]
Honestly, I can't even enjoy any of the story or visuals, because the UI is a fucking mess. "Realistic" timers/clocks are always fucking awful with AVNs, because it actively hampers and discourages exploration. 9 times out of 10, it's because there is nothing worth exploring.
Then there's the interaction system, which is just such a ridiculous fucking monster. So you get about 40 options for topics of discussion. You can only pick 3 everyday. You get no indication as to what they will like. If they hate it, it pops up as red. If they like it, it becomes white. But guess what happens if they're just not interested? Nothing. It remains the same colour. So you have to remember which ones you pressed in different discussions with different people, until you find one they like, at which point you simply spam that 3 times because there's ZERO reason to try and find them all.
Yet another issue is the personality choice. I picked 'Pervert', as I thought it would be interesting to get to bad-mouth others and see how they handle manipulating characters, as it takes skill. All I got was people who were bored, and then the main chick at the home got mad whenever I mentioned it. This is the way the dev simplifies their work: An over-complicated mess to confuse you, so you don't think about the fact you don't REALLY get any choices. You are instead given a grinder, and told to repeat the same clicks and button presses over and over and over again until some arbitrary number. It is kinetic with 10,000 more steps.
Also, wanted to make a note that people who don't like NTR, probably won't like this either. I know it's a sticking point for a lot of people, I only really am fine with it so long as the writing makes it justified. Here, people are just kinda established to be sluts, so I guess it's contextual? But you know that LIs are fucking and see hints, so I'd consider that for people who loathe NTR period instead of just how poorly it's used on this site.
