Review for v0.1,0
Xianxia is a genre I've long wished to see explored more in the lewd game world, and while this version only gives a taste of what could be, I think this has a ton of potential to be extremely good. But even judging only on what's present I think it still has a lot to praise.
I encourage you to look up Xianxia as a genre if you're curious as it would explain it better than I would, but it's a genre heavily inspired by ancient china, mythology, and martial arts. While it can often be considered a sort of high fantasy setting with how crazy it can get, this game takes a more low fantasy style approach. Though I'm not cultured enough to immediately recognize all of it, this game specifically is taking influence from history of other cultures and such around the world as well.
It's a game you can tell the dev is passionate about making. The writing is very intricate and realistic thus far. There's thought going into the world and characters. I also love having choices that actually feel meaningful, even if they are mostly dialogue related as of now. The art style, though I have nitpicks, gives the game a very fresh feel. Music and sound choice as well really add to the experience. It's a story game for sure, and that's something I already appreciate about it.
The sex scenes are also animated in a very realistic way as well, in a way I'm not quite sure I've seen before. It almost feels like it's using real people and painting over them? I'd be curious to know how the art is being done.
However my one real complaint about the game also has to do with the art. I feel like everything has a weird blur on it, and its especially noticeable in certain scenes. Kinda like the artist is using the blur tool to blend all the art. It really takes away from some of the detail at times.
It's a very interesting first release. I deliberately left out a lot of details of the plot so far because I think it's just worth playing yourself, but if the game keeps going as strong as it is already I can see it becoming a favorite of mine. A bit too early to say anything for sure though.
