    Ok so wow did not expect much from the title and brief description. Lets go over it.

    Pro:
    Lots of good models
    Very funny humor and nice jokes
    well written plot twists and sorry narrative
    Game gives you alot of freedom of choices with small hints on path it follows

    Con:
    Music can be a little annoying
    See of the same body type among the female characters so far

    Summary: Its really fucking good even the music itself is only a minor issue and even the models is not to much of a issue with how new this is. The game has really good bones with what it can become along with the serious tones that do not subtract from the character interaction.

    Version 0.2.0

    I did not want to submit a review, as I had no intention to spend any time more on the game after I lost one hour of my life on it. And then I noticed the ratings… Unbelievable. Close to five stars.

    People never cease to amaze me. Yes, I know that there's no accounting for taste, but I still don't understand why so few people notice that the emperor has no clothes. The story is stupid, the dialogues are clunky, the visuals are subpar (at best). Maybe it was supposed to be a parody of the college type of game… but the result is not funny at all. If I had to sum up the game in one word, it would be: cringe.

    Gosh, I wasted an extra 15 minutes of my life on this game. But at least I bore witness to the truth. Amen.

    [As of v0.2.0] Solid game so far, I like how the dialogue between characters actually feel genuine, in that the conversations always somehow manage to derail and switch topics really quickly (similar to how younger people in groups talk). Great work so far!!

    Exactly the kind of game I hate!

    Renders look good, intriguing story with great comedic elements, and a lot of promise.

    I hate it simply because it left me wanting more, than what's currently available.

    Definitely a fun play, eagerly awaiting the next release. Nice work Dev!

    Great start! Looking forward to future updates!!
    There are some things that happen in this that a few fuckboys may consider NTR but that is certainly not the case. There are a couple of females that get passed around like a bottle of Crown but they are yours. They are clearly community property lol
    Story is starting off fantastic. Renders are damn good quality. The moisture from sweat looks more like beaded grease on a cast iron skillet but I was able to look past that.
    This one is a lot of fun boys with lots of different paths to take. So much so that it definitely needs a walkthrough available for those of us that don't like playing blind.
    Already anticipating the next update.

    I would not call this game particularly 'good.' That is mostly because of the over the top characters and their insane dialog. Everyone is exaggerated and quippy, but it is so entertaining. No matter how many times I rolled my eyes, I never once thought about stopping my playthrough. A thoroughly entertaining game is preferable over anything that makes me want to stop just from the intro alone. A very diverse and drama filled cast, nice music and sound, great looking renders, and actual choices that seem to matter.

    The initial experience of the game is relatively satisfactory. The character models are well-designed, and the humor successfully elicited a positive response from me. Furthermore, the main character is not particularly bothersome.

    I observed that some individuals have mentioned the presence of NTR (Netorare) in the game; therefore, I approached it with that expectation. However, I found no such elements. While the game does include interactions involving flirtation and sexual relations with other male characters, it is important to note that these interactions do not involve a character who is romantically attached to the main character or a former girlfriend. Several female characters appear to fulfill the role of potential love interests, but during the demo, none engage in romantic relationships with other males.

    Regarding the narrative, several aspects of the plot seem illogical. The characters are quarantined in a town following a global pandemic, yet they appear to lack access to information about the outside world. Two police officers manning the entrances of the hotel where the main character is staying seem unaware of the prevailing circumstances. It raises questions about the gas station attendant and his niece, as well as Tiny, who possessed a phone capable of receiving signals and used it to communicate with individuals outside who were oblivious to the situation. It stands to reason that someone should have been informed enough to convey the necessary information to others.

    3/5

    One of the most visually polished VNs out there. Girls are all extremely attractive, but visually distinct from one another, and all the characters have their own distinct personalities that come through very well in dialogue (even if I personally don't connect with most of them). The erotic scenes are not really my cup of tea personally, but it's high enough quality that I still enjoyed it a lot.

    This game features one of the most heavily branching dialogue trees I've ever seen in a VN, with many choices having multiple, very distinct outcomes depending on your actions. It's clear that the devs are planning great things for this game's future.

    However, I do have a couple of gripes.

    First and foremost, 10 gigabytes is too large for a game of this length. There's clearly in-depth renders and lots of great animations in there, and the branching storyline certainly will add some file size, but I got maybe 2-3 hours from this, and have gotten far more time out of far smaller games with similar render quality. Obviously, this point won't matter to you if you have a hard drive philosophy similar to Marie Kondo, but as someone constantly fighting with his computer's storage space, I was expecting more from a game of this size, and it failed to deliver.

    Secondly, a lot of the conversations dragged on far longer than necessary. Some of this came from joke scenes where the joke failed to land, some of it came from characters establishing backstory in long exposition dumps, and some of it was just banter that I had zero investment in. This wasn't horrible once I bit the bullet and turned on skip unseen text, but I always hate the idea that I could be missing something important.

    Finally, this is more of a personal preference, but a lot of the backstories of the characters were very traumatic in a way that felt a bit gratuitous. It felt as if the writer was trying to farm sympathy points for already well-written and sympathetic characters by just... giving them a horrifying traumatic event in their past. It didn't happen too often (just two or three times in my playthrough) but it was enough to be noticeable, and it gave a bit of tonal whiplash going "sex scene, comedy scene, trauma dump, comedy scene, trauma dump, sex scene" over and over.

    Other than that, there were some typos and some lines I wasn't a huge fan of, but overall the game's great and well worth a shot.

    Normally I don't review first versions, but this has a lot of content and I really didn't want the previous review to be the one at the top for longer than necessary.


    I had lots of fun with the game. I can totally go with the silly infantile humour and I loved the many variations you could get depending on the MC's decisions, I just hope this can be kept up once the game gets bigger and bigger.

    The game has a LOT going for it, it is well-written, with lots of humour, it has many gorgeous ladies in it, the sex scenes are well done, though I am not a big fan of these menu type scenes. For me, they take a lot of the hotness out of a scene, when I have to click and click here and there, but it's not horrible here and apart from that the scenes are well-made.
    And the animations also look pretty good.

    There are two things I didn't like. For one, the absolutely unnecessary spelling errors. How do you even get the idea to write "come on" as "comon?" And there were so many more, all could have been avoided with a simple spellcheck.
    Honestly, I don't understand how you can obviously spend so much effort on the game, the renders, the animations, the STORY, but miss out on something that is so easily fixed. It just makes the whole effort put into every other part of the game worth slightly less.
    The second one is of course the cliffhanger. No idea how long until the next chapter drops, and until then I have to live with the uncertainty.
    I mean... obviously the MC's sisters and mom are still alive, but the rest of the town? Who knows.


    All in all, this game is almost a five-star game, the only thing holding it back is the spelling, that is bad to an extent it takes me out of the game and the UI not being that great.

    This game is meh. Another take on the COVID pandemic where the MCs group spends a decade isolated. Now that things have supposedly clear up we are going to send/force everyone in the group back home. I say forced because apparently some don’t want to go back home, but somehow the characters are just being thrown out on their own. This of course doesn’t take into account that they apparently have no real contact with the outside and “suprise” when they reach their home city is in ruins. Now this wasn’t surprising considering the hints, but it’s hard so suspend your disbelief in it. You mean to say that there were no clues and somehow along the way in the trip the other places weren’t also in the same state? It was already jarring, but to make things worse, we see the fat lard of a BFF get more action than our “gigachad” MC. This all happens without warning and without the option to skip. I won’t even get started on the problems with the LIs because it’s pointless just do yourself a favor and avoid this game.

    Engaging story, amazing characters... and the visuals and animations are perfect, easily one of my favorites already.
    Cant wait to see what is next, been away from VNs from sometime and was very nice to come back with this one.

    Don't usually write reviews, but this game is ELITE. The story is extremely good for a VN, i've played very few games like it. All the characters are well thought out and have interesting personalities you want to learn more about. The lewd scenes have meaning to them and don't feel forced. Honestly the only negative about this game is that there's not 100 more chapters. 100/10

    Wow! Great start to this game. Very good and funny original store with feels as well. Love the depth of the characters and the character designs. Hoping it can keep going at this quality and doesn't get too bogged down with too many paths. I will be waiting with excitement for the next update!

    [v0.2.0] Well that was a good ride

    The game has the potential to be one of the best AVNs like the top 10 or top 5 that I have ever played
    The storytelling is excellent the story itself is very good and engaging I didn't skip any frame that should tell you something
    The routes/story branching is one of the best in the game so many options with meaning and potential consequences
    The characters have depth and personalities so much so that you can feel it
    A perfect balance between humor and seriousness (deep feels)
    You won't feel starved out of adult content/sex scenes in favor of world-building

    For the visual side of things nice looking models and great animations not the best out there but they are still good

    Finally, I would like to say this game will benefit immensely from investment in a new rig to ramp up production and for us to get higher-quality renders

    Loved the decisions and branching in this game the story has not yet set in motion but the set up for it is good and I really like how the single girls sleep around with other men unlike some games which just don't show this

    so far loving this game and will the development the branching is great and wishing the dev best of luck.

    The game definitely has potential and feels different in a good way. The animations are good and also the graphics. It certainly feels like the developer has put more effort into this and I hope to see more content for this game. Good Work!

    An absurdly good game. Probably the best character designs I have ever seen. Like not just hot girls (though those do exist), but actual style and personality. Depth. Incredible.

    The choice system and stucture at this stage seems so rich and complex. I dearly hope that this is not one of those games that abandons a lot of its mechanical complexity down the road because what we have right now is electric.

    On a personal aside, the game is so damn good that it actually got me to play OUTSIDE my personal fetishes and preferences. I reject sharing or threesome content in almost anygame, especially mmf. But when the option popped up to get my homie in on the action I was like "Fuck Yeah!". Probably my favourite side character in any adult game. All this from a game so early in its life. Truly insane and inspirational.

    Writing is great, pacing is great, sex is great. This is some goated shit.

    Wow, this game... it's tough to rank it amidst the sheer number of amazing titles out right now, but it’s definitely up there with the best of them. From start to finish, every part of the game is filled with incredible interactions, fantastic characters, sharp wit, and genuinely funny humor.
    And the story? Absolutely top-tier. It’s the kind of narrative that keeps you hooked, making you crave more, though, sadly, we’ll have to wait for the next update. And what a cliffhanger!

    The main character is no pushover, he's a true chad, and the love interests? They’ll make you feel all kinds of emotions. The character development is exceptional, with everyonefrom the sweetest girl to the biggest jerk having a deep, compelling backstory.

    It’s hard not to give this a solid 5 stars. The developer really knocked it out of the park. Outstanding work. I’ll be eagerly awaiting what comes next. Godspeed, and keep up the incredible work!

    Was expecting a standard harem esque game where you can just fuck everything that moves with no consequences. Have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. This is easily one of the best VN games out there, period. The graphics, dialogue and writing, humor and freedom of choice is just top notch. The game does a really good job of introducing you to all the characters and fleshing them out before the real plot hits. This means that you don't just tend to think of a character as a backround prop, but part of the story. There's not much sex in the game yet, and I would definitely call this more of a game than a sex-sim. Honestly, it's refreshing when you see all the slop thats shoveled onto this site on a daily basis. Overall, highly recommended. When you reach the end of the update and you genuinely feel annoyed because you wanted more, you know the game is damn good.

    Interesting start, I liked the storyline. The game has animations and very interesting narration, as well as a variety of character models, I was pleased when I saw a lot of fresh and interesting models, before this novel I have not seen them anywhere before. There are also nice ambient sounds, it's amazing. Decent quality of humor, all in all I rate the novel in 5 stars, I praise the developer for his work. Very much looking forward to future updates, the game is worthy of support!
