Unity - Theanthria [04-16] [Hectocacto]

Extremely janky, lots of room for improvement, solid core idea. None of the systems work well.

Resolution wise, settings aren't available from title and the UI doesn't fit on non-standard aspect ratios, so you have to get in-game and then set it back to 1080.

Gameplay wise, decoration is very buggy - hold left click and look for the blue dot. If you just click, you might send whatever furniture into the fucking backrooms never to be found again - and not in a funny physics way, in a "ceases to exist on this plane" way. Some objects just don't interact half the time. If you accidentally yeet your bed into the negaverse you have to buy another one with 2-4 jobs worth of coin.

NPCs, also periodically unable to interact with. Very mediocre animations. Animation speed should get better buttons, not "go through dialogue spam to increase by .1x five times". Could also use a cellphone to call them back after meeting them. The models are pretty decent, but animations are very mediocre and low effort, lots of position options though. POV camera is a nice addition but doesn't work well for shorter NPCs on some positions.

Physics for grappling game, tolerable but janky. Mid-air jump seems to only recharge once you land or wallrun, and grapple doesn't swing smoothly. Reeling yourself in can be used to launch, but if you're chaining reels you can't use a jump to change trajectory because it doesn't recharge mid air, which seems like a mistake when you have a jetpack.

Overall, it seems like the game is probably beyond the dev's capabilities. The idea is great and if it got made into something decent it would deserve 5 stars. If the dev got some help or worked really hard to improve this might turn around in a couple years. Ping me if it does.

The Oct 20 version is a HUGE step in the right direction, the game still needs work, but them adding jiggle physics, making the pussy model better and best of all, nipple texture really made the game feel and look alot better. That being said, it still needs a bit of work.

Things that need to be worked on IMO:

• Map size, why does it need to be SO BIG, so it can take forever to get to specific girls you might want, even with the jump pack thing
• Some positions are broken/don't provide a great view, Like lotus 2 and 3 the hands and arms are misaligned (at least on some girls, dunno if they're fine on others) and MC and the girl are way too close together so the camera is just stuck inside models for the POV shots. (Also might be a nit pick, but why do some positions like the "ride me" start so slow and some don't even have sex noises)
• Speaking of positions, depth of view for some reason is a bit buggy I think? I was doing a lotus 1 position and the view was blurry for some reason when it was on, like why is the girl blurry when she's right in front of me?
• Anthro customization would be better if you could customize more meaningful stuff like boob size and maybe nipple color.

If those things get worked on, I think it would be a 4/5 game and then they can focus on actually adding more stuff to do with the girls like actual dating and other stuff once they get a solid foundation of the sex system ironed out.

[ September 23 - Pre-Alpha ]
Interesting concept, but is very unoptimized.

-Story, Originality
You deliver food. But "Attack on Titan" style.

-Renders
Ok 3d models.

-Sound
Some basic sounds.

-Playability
You can play for fun couple of times.
Or grind the hell out of it... To get h-content.

-Performance
Runs bad. I have i7 CPU and RTX 3070
, butthe game works ok with stutters on low-settings.
On high settings it lags.

-Bugs
Some buildings intersect each other and you can get stuck in the corners.

-Animations
Good animations.

-Voice Acting
Didn't hear any.

-Grammar
Didn't see any mistakes.

-Amount of content
Okay ammount of content, but you have to grind a lot, to get h-content.

And there is barely anything to do aside the grind (food delivery)

While it's still early alpha, this is not off to a good start.

Other reviewers have already pointed out but badly this runs, but beyond that the city is massive and there's absolutely nothing to do in it. To move around faster you get a jetpack and grappling hook, but fuel is limited and you must pay to refuel; so you constantly have to choose between actually getting around in a reasonable manner or saving money. Right now there isn't much else to do with your money, but I assume there will eventually be things you actually want to buy other than fuel.

There's a handful of furry NPCs scattered around the massive map. If you raise their affection stats you can invite them to have sex. They are all generic and all have exactly the same options, to the point where you can customize their appearance any time you want. Raising their affection right now is pointless, as you can just keep asking them questions that will raise it and there's no limit to how much you can use this command. The sex scenes are...comically bad right now. Half the time the PC will bug out and get stuck in a running animation. The graphic style of the models makes it hard to see any details, not to mention the computer monitor (in-game) in your room makes everything glow bright purple. You also can't change breast sizes.

I heavily suspect the dev will end up scrapping it and starting over, as there's absolutely no beneift to making the city this big. This isn't GTA or Cyberpunk, it's furry smut.

Once this game gets its performance together, it'll be 4 stars easily. As is? Hard to even give it 2, because holy shit, its performance sucks. Sub 20fps no matter what graphics settings or resolution you use. I strongly suspect this is due to the kind of buildings that the dev decided to use for the city, as each window has an "interior" instead of a flat texture to pretend there's something. One window or a couple of buildings like this wouldn't be a big deal. Make it over 200 and now you have [~500 windows * 200 buildings] =~ 10,000 fake interiors to process every single frame, because there's no LOD (level of detail) of any kind for the city buildings.

Movement around the city sucks. You're expected to use a jetpack of sorts that enables hookshots, which work kinda like a discount spiderman web. It's decent when you get the hang of it, but the city is awfully designed, it expects you to use the roads all the fucking time. Want a shortcut, make a straight line through 4 blocks of buildings? Either learn to cheese the hookshot to FLY OVER the buildings or "Lol, fuck you" and use the streets like a car!
The other reviewer below mentioned that the screenshots in the thread here show a different place. After checking on the author's itch, it's because the current city was added back in May, which I think was a terrible move, at least with the city as is.
- The irony about this city is that it, and the jetpack/hookshot, weren't originally planned. Now, because the dev opted to add them and really sink in on its functionality, he'll have to spend even more time just fixing problems brought about by them, especially performance, city design and movement, instead of doing more work on the girls, sex and dating sim parts.

Sex content is decent. 6 positions and you only cum inside. No anal or oral. The problem is that the characters will often be misaligned for the sex animation, or they might not even play the animation.

Although there are many girls, there's only like 4 different personalities, not unlike what you see in Animal Crossing. The only difference in body measures is height, they all have the same breast-waist-hip sizes. Once their affection is high enough, there's nothing else to do other than invite home and fuck them.

The game has a number of bona fide bugs, and several smaller annoyances. Girls with a specific personality, like Cassandra (pink cat) and Sara (orange fox), will softlock the game if you answer "Yes" when they ask if you're a family person. Anthro Customization (available at the top of the screen, on the Settings menu), doesn't pause the game while editing girls. Placing furniture in your home will often disappear. If a girl was dancing when a date/visit home ended, she'll still be dancing on the streets. The freecam during sex resets position if it collides with characters.

May 15 - Pre Alpha

This game is hilariously awful in its current state. It gets 1 entire star for having a somewhat fun idea, and that's it. The performance is dreadful, the map is equally awful to both look at and navigate, and the actual gameplay is just...not there. I didn't even manage to actually see a character that I'm supposed to be able to woo.

Every single tutorial message, which you get by activating your PC and waiting for it to eventually respond to your input, ends with asking you to support their Patreon. It's not the most desperate stuff I've seen, but it's pretty cringe. You want to know how the delivery system works? Be reminded of their Patreon. Want to know about the furniture system that isn't fully implemented yet? Get a reminder it's not done yet, but MIGHT get done if you help support on Patreon!

In a game focused on movement, which is actually what drew me into it in the first place, it sure is clunky and awful to move around the map. The map, as in the mini-map and its full sized variant, is also pretty poor. Just not helpful, obtuse in design, and more or less useless at large.

There's really not much of a game here right now. Between that and the performance, I don't know why you'd bother with this. I get that my RTX 2080 is apparently old enough to be considered antiquated by an increasing number of people, but it definitely shouldn't be struggling to run this game at 30fps. It makes Roblox's default assets look resource intensive. It is VERY important to note that the gifs shown if you click "SPOILER" on this page are of a different area entirely, NOT the map you see in game. It's incredibly misleading. I'm not sure if you unlock that zone or what, but that looks 50x better than the borderline AI generated cityscape you're dropped into.

I can't find a single good thing in this game aside from the idea itself. Is there potential? Yeah, sure. Is it going to ever be realized? Probably not, no.
