Really a mixed bag of a game.
A kinetic novel so not a whole lot to speak of on the game mechanics front. It's a story with porn clips inserted, you have to actively scan text for links to them, which is kind of silly and adds nothing but the chance that you miss a scene if you're not paying close enough attention.
But it passes the main requirement of a KN, in that scenes are fairly well written with only the occasional spelling error or typo. But while the individual scenes are well written, if sometimes a bit verbose, the overall feeling is a little patch work, like a bunch of disjointed scenes stuck together that don't really flow together to create an immersive cohesive narrative.
The main thing this game has going for it is it's unique setting, in both time and place, the inclusion of historic artifacts and art work and scenes from nature documentaries is pretty well done and makes this game stand out from other HTML KN's.
However this also sets the stage for the main drawback of this game, namely that real porn is a terrible choice of format for a story supposed to be set in early 20th century in exotic locations. It's just outright immersion breaking and to be told properly requires hand drawn, or CGI or AI or anything else really, but it just doesn't work to be in a remote amazonian village or Taishō era Japan then cut to a porn scene filmed in a 21st century western hotel room with a phone and a flat screen in the background and clearly modern fashion styles.
