While I absolutely love the story and all the interesting characters in this game, things to be fixed before further development or the game will keep progressing in the wrong direction.
1) The intro is long. There are way too many scenes before the game actually starts. I actually thought this was a VN until they finally move to the new house. Some of those scenes in the intro can easily be used as flashback later in the game instead of telling everything right at the beginning. It would also be more satisfying for the players when the flashbacks are given as "reward" from quests.
2) The 3rd phone call event with Mia is like 3 to 4 scenes combined together depending on your path. Players get those scenes without grinding or solving anything. Getting Mia scenes so easily would make other NPC's path feel extra slow or tedious. In the poster quest, you need to look for the maid, rise your relationship with her, make all the right choices to rise Lisa desire, all the effort only to get one nip slip scene during the massage. Mia's 3rd phone call event alone has 60 png files compared to 5 in Lisa massage event. "Rewards" should be delivered more evenly according to players effort for the sense of satisfaction. Most of the interesting scenes are spoon fed to the players right now and "rewards" from grinding and solving quest are lacking.
3) Another thing is that the 3rd phone call event is abit too long it feels strange returning to the daily simulations afterwards. It could be better if the 3rd phone call event was broken into two or three phone call events instead of telling everything in one night.
4) Scenes could be missed if wrong choices are made during an event. I can't say its that bad since part of the fun is to find out all the scenes. However, because there is no walkthrough or proper gallery, we might not even know that we have missed scenes. People might think they have completed the game while missing tons of scenes without knowing.
5) the game thread was created 2 years ago yet all the NPC goals, sexual perks still seem to be just place holders. You cant actively use anything in your inventory. Buying swimsuit doesn't seem to have any effect yet. I understand its been a hard time for everyone this year but the development is still slow for a game with such large scope.
The story and the CG are great but the gameplay needs to be fixed. I don't mind grinding relationship or desire or looking for NPCs but the "reward" needs to be satisfying for the game to be fun.
