THIS is VERY well written!!!! love the small movement transitions

Characters feel well rounded and actually different from each other

HUGE potential, now lets get a nice lovely girl I can date, and cheat around on! (I promise I will feel bad, honest injuns!)

A good story, very well written, though I don't like how sad it is.

The LI models seem like nothing special, but that helps to focus on the story.

The lips of the nurse Sarah might look a bit too rough sometimes. I would correct that.

I love Lisa, she is surprisingly attractive for a mostly ordinary face. And her personality and everything make me like her a lot.

I don't like Hailey. At least for now she seems to be a vulture. Not my type. Her model reflects that very well though, kinda typical professional career-oriented bimbo.

(I get it that her further story should reveal some depths, and she is smart etc., but I'm already not interested, thanks).

So it's Lisa and perhaps Sarah for me (or the girl introduced at the Chapter 2 finale). Could there be some harem or a throuple eventually?

Good attention to side characters and details in general.

Perfect quality of renders (a few a bit dark for my usual monitor settings, but it's not a problem), good composition, posing and expressions.

The interface is nice.

Only one problem: when you turn off naming saves, they start to be named "Unnamed save". Totally unnecessary, even annoying for someone like me. I hope the dev would change that and leave unnamed saves with just blank names.

Other than that, the game is very enjoyable. 20/20!

jPk vns, best wishes!

Could you give me a step by step of what you did to make this happen? I tried it and I can't reproduce it.

I don't know if I already said it in here... but Damn - what a great AVN this one is!
I cried my Eyes out in the Prologue, what a Gut-Punch at the End.
Chapter 2 is great too, not quiet as sad as the first/prologue, but still well written and another great Cliffhanger.

I turned "Naming saves" On to name a save or two, then turned it off, and the next save had that "Unnamed" name.

Check "screens.rpy", the button that turns off saves naming also assigns save_name:
Code:
if persistent.saveName:
    textbutton _("is {color=#fff}\"On\"{/color}") action [SetVariable("persistent.saveName", False), SetVariable("store.save_name", "Unnamed save")]
Better
Code:
if persistent.saveName:
    textbutton _("is {color=#fff}\"On\"{/color}"):
        action [SetVariable("persistent.saveName", False),
            SetVariable("store.save_name", "")]

While you're here. How do I get rid of that marked thing in the screenshot. It's not even a radio button but for some reason shows this even when set to off. Walktrough and Autoplay don't have this problem.

Yeah my issue is mainly that nothing was at all realistic in the opening. Nothing. Complete and utter fantasy from his age (to how old he looks), his dress, style, what is said about it...the way he acts....

However, as you say and I said in my previous, after the first couple of time skips.....it does become a seriously good VN, well written mostly and definitely now has me hooked. I would say my only complaint from a plot perspective is that this is yet another dev following the latest trend of having everything interconnected and intertwinnied. It's already an old trope and done to death, not just here but in mainstream media also. I just can't wait (/s) until we find out that Hailey is also somehow interrelated to us/Ella too.
Agree with many of your points.

Excellent point actually. Very interesting.
Regarding the MC we know nothing about his dad other than this super nice MC who is generally nice (even the agressive choices aren't really that offensive) hates/loathes his father, far more than his mother. And Charlotte appears to potentially know who his father is I think. We see the MC rebelling in general, but the rebellion seems on a personal level, even if he speaks on a general/idealist level about social issues. I have a feeling there is resentment of his father for something we don't know about yet. I don't know if that's something that will be explored, but every mention of it, the MC gos dark Emily's Daddy comments might be doubly offensive.

Hmm....agree with most of that...I personally saw the daddy comment from Emily being more about he just lost his daughter...nothing to do with his father.

I like the phrase on a personal level in my own relationships...doesn't phase me in the slightest, but in the context of this story and timing...too soon.
