The more I play this game, the more it frustrates me because of how torn I am on where I'd like to place it.
Starting with the good. The art and animation are probably Top 3 right now. The characters you get with are attractive as all hell and to be honest, that is what keeps me coming back to this game. That and Nika, who I've been getting blueballed by time and time again. (Here's hoping Chapter 2 doesn't cockblock me from Nika anymore. I'm fine with everyone loving Juliana. That ain't no problem. More Nika for me!)
But aside from the art and animation, almost everything else bothers me about this game, which frustrates me so much because I know the team is going HARD for it You don't make something that looks and runs this good if you don't have an unmatched work ethic. All my respect goes there.
But moving onto my issues with this game, first of all the MC's horsedick. No. Just no. Especially when most penetration scenes only show it going about 2 inches deep, at most 5, it really begs the question why it needs to be so massively large in the first place if the penetration isn't "poking belly" deep. I like most of the girls in this game, but anytime they look at his dick, their characters just take a nosedive in the moment, almost always willing to drop to their knees because they "jUst HaVe tO haVE iT". Girls going dick crazy over a horsedick is just annoying to me now. I hate the trope overall, but it's hard to immerse myself in a character that has a dick the size of my forearm.
Another thing I don't like, but I'm so glad was changed was the smoking fetish. I. Hate. People. Who. Smoke. In. My. Breathing. Space. First of all, I dislike women who smoke, let's get that out of the way. I don't find it attractive. That in itself is why Juliana is not my favorite. But I
wish a female would be so disrespectful as to serve me food on the kitchen table and then light a cigarette in the same room as me. Most mothers in incest are trash anyway, but the complete lack of respect by Juliana just turns me all the way off. She loves her son but apparently doesn't believe in secondhand smoke. I like my lunges smoke free, thanks. But then Maureen, whom I consider to be my favorite behind Nika started it and I was like "Oh God...you too?" and it was because of this forced smoking kink the MC came equipped with. I feel like that fetish has been grossly overused with no way of saying no within the duration of this game, but later on, the game presents choices for you for that sort of kink. I'm not trying to kink-shame, honestly, that's not my intention, especially since it's not even an issue anymore, but the option should've been there from the start. I'm glad it is now. I don't mean to double down on my feelings pertaining to something that has already been fixed for the better, but I was close to dropping this game if that were to continue. Like, I could almost smell the smoke. I'm very sensitive to that. But enough of that. My apologies.
Another reason is the time travel aspect. It's super easy to nit-pick time travel stories. You can do that with any time travel story. Look at the most recent example Avengers Endgame. So I won't do that here. But I'd be lying if I said I completely understood this universe's time travel rules. It sounds about the same as Avengers Endgame/DBZ though where it's more aligned with multiverse theory. I'm not super invested in that aspect of this story, but that cliffhanger did leave me almost punching my screen
In terms of THIS latest version though...yeah, it's definitely the best one for me so far. Probably could've used one more Nika scene, especially with what I consider to be an oversaturation of Juli over the last few updates, but the next natural progression would probably be sex, so I understand why that wasn't shown here as yet.
So all in all. I'm giving it 3 stars. The art and animation are great and the passion behind this game is almost unrivaled. But most other aspects of the game just turns me off. The anaconda dick, smoking, etc. I mostly keep coming back for Best Girl Nika. Hopefully, Chapter 2 is mostly about Nika. Chapter 1 was primarily Juliana and milf territory with tidbits of Nika. I hope we see more bro/sis incest in Ch 2 with tidbits of Juli and milf content. It's only right......right? (>_>)
Still can't wait for Chapter 2! I need to know what happened. It looks like it's setting up to be better than Chapter 1. Good luck with it you guys!
