Ugh ... free roam ... we really need that as a tag to warn us. :/ Its just the basic stat grinder with some solid renders. The girls are hot, but its just the boring trigger hunt and grindfest.
The mom got the best job ever. She only works 2 hr a day ...
There is way to many repeating events before something new happens. I mean - most of them dont make sense that they repeat in that way. Mom going out every day, but in dialog she tells you that she has no friends because she has a focus on her work (yeah with 2 hrs a day ^^) ... And maybe dont show "moms office" before we really can visit her there. These locations are just frustrating ... Oh and even after mom ponders about the sleeping situation you cant change anything about that. Why even let the MC ask that before? Makes no sense ... sure a lot later she talks about it again. Bit that was what? 10 days later? something like that. Its hard to tell, because the days dont matter. Every day is the same and there is no weekend or anything like that.
Then there are the "events" that are hidden and you only encounter with "luck". g.e At 20 oclock watching TV - and you dont know if that will change, so you just repeat it every few days.
Boring as hell. And yes, I get it. These games are way easier to make (after the basic grind structure) and you dont have to make as many renders as in a VN. Everything feels so disconnected ... but that is a common problem in these games. There seems to be no real sexual content, only some peeking and light fondling.
I mean, there is this - maybe? backstory about the past, but I forget it and only remember it when a new dialog mentions it ... The MC talks about the uneasy feeling and stuff, but you as a player can see/feel it. Later the mom thinks about the "events" and that the MC never mentions anything about it, but the MC has done that. the MC told her that Devon had done "it". And there is a error in the end of that dialog with mom and devon .. he calls her the MCs name and not "mom".
Maybe the game needs at least a longer VN prologue to set a decent tone, but in general I dont like games that switch from VN to crappy sandcrap-free roam. But here a bit more might help.
To bad - it looks nice, but to much boring grind and (after maybe 1-2 hrs?) no payoff.
