Now I must say that I generally dislike hypnotism, it just feels wrong to me, but that is my morals and only relevant to show that I was not completely on board when I started playing through this story. That being said I am also not too big on mostly POV stories either. Okay, so we have established that there was an uphill climb for this early but now I really must say that I enjoyed what I have gotten to experience thus far.
I am inferring here but I feel that the writer feels the same way I do about people who would abuse such powers as we have in this because after they always die from it, but I may be wrong in this regard. I enjoy that we have to work to become stronger instead of instantly behaving like the savages that most of us are. I really like and forgive the comparison, the Assassin Creed style flashbacks, if these could not only keep coming but have smaller stories hidden for us to find in free roam, that would be amazing.
I sometimes struggle to connect with the stories that I am presented but this one while slightly offputting in the beginning (Corrine is a real friend huh) by the time I was done with the conversation with the stranger, I was hooked. I genuinely would like to know more about this world even if that meant less lewd content. Don't misunderstand I enjoy the lewd content already present, just saying that I think the concept may be good enough to stand without it. Honestly, the story feels like a mixture of "John Wick" and "The Tomorrow People".
Next, I must comment on the visuals and the gameplay as it were. While sometimes not perfect, I feel that most of what was presented here was beautifully rendered and well put together. The parts that are lacking are the side characters and stock locations that could use some customization, namely the kitchen and bathroom at the least. But the movements of the models are gorgeous. I also enjoyed the updated navigation with the arrows being named. The sound effects are greatly used but the music certainly needs some attention.
All in all, I enjoyed what I got to play and look forward to future updates as I am certain that this will be very entertaining. One last thing before I go though and this is just for my own curiosity. The "power level" display of an Egyptian woman feels it is saying that the power comes from Ancient Egypt but given that the One was around back then as well, I feel that it is older than that. Does anyone know if the devs have said anything in relation to the origin they thought of for this? I doubt it but I thought that taking the chance to ask wouldn't hurt.
