I don't generally write negative reviews, but this game needs one.
Where to begin? The game has virtually zero story. Really, it's as if the dev had no desire to write anything or has absolutely no inspiration. Both the dialogue and story premise are vapid and souless. One commenter in the F95 game thread said he couldn't help but read the lines wth a Russian accent. That made me want to try it just for laughs. Works great. There's no Russian version in the files. I wanted to try it out in the dev's presumptive native language in order to see if the dialogue is better. As is, the grammar errors and persistant spelling errors(Helen becomes Herlyn) are correctable Engrish. Problem is even with perfect English, there would still be virtually no story and dialogue would remain cringy.
On the render side, this is the laziest work I've seen in a while. No attempt was made to create individual characters. All rendered figures are from other games or stock. Poses are stare straight ahead style with no facial expressions. Example: One single render of a family meal has every character staring straight ahead and the player has to click the conversation forward over and over while the scene remains static like a photo of an olde timey wax figure cabinet.
This is a newbie's work so, an extra point for trying. Otherwise, I recommend the dev find a story written by someone who has something to say. Find a comic or porn film you like and get inspired. But, I suspect even that may not be enough. He may still have the characters saying really dumb shit. Dialogue and narrative. Both areas need improvement. I'm pretty sure when the dev looks back on this game in a few years he'll cringe. Trouble is I'm at that point now.
