VN - HTML - To the Top [Ch. 2] [Veruthe]

I wanted to give this a try bc I like female corruption stories.

Sadly, this story starts off with an extensive narrative on how qualified and hardworking she is only to immediately have her forced to give a client a blow job to get the job (you are not given the choice to do anything else, you're railroaded into it), and then when she doesn't go far enough, she gets raped.

So, no corruption and the Dev leans into the male domination (which isn't tagged) and rape. Rape is in the tags, but it feels like a central theme of the game when it arrives so soon into the story.

Story matters to me, so I'll take a pass on this one. I also don't like really long video clips as they are presented here.

TD;DR = Terrible story. Only nice thing about the game are short porn VIDS.

Story: 0/5
Pros:
+ There is absolutely nothing positive about plot in this game.
Cons:
- The plot in this game is HUGE MESS.
- Story claims to follow one female MC. But instead you will watch many 10 minutes short cuts from the life of some random side characters.
- Sadly there are so many side characters and so many perspective shifts. It ruins immersion.
- There is almost no cohesion in the story. The game interupts important moments with some pointless flashbacks. It feels so chaotic.
- Imagine shit like: You follow actions of female MC and the game interupts it with flashback of her boss. But during his flasback you will get SECOND flashback into boss past. After 2nd flashback ends you go back to 1st flashback. After 1st flashback ends you wont go back to female MC, instead the POV will switch to some totally unimportant side character living his life. This seriously breaks immersion into story.

Art and sex stuff: 4/5
Pros:
+ Game contains clips from real life porn videos.
+ Sex scenes are nice.
+ Sex clips are only nice thing about this game.
Cons:
- The sex scenes are too straighforward. They start somewhere and then they go through each action. It would be much better if players were given the choice to choose actions (eg.: do BJ, do vaginal, do anal, etc.)

Gameplay: 2/5
Pros:
+ English is decent.
Cons:
- The game says VN, but this is more of Kinetic Novel.
- The game gives you some choices, but it wont change anything. It is just an illusion of choice. You will follow straighforward plot.
- The game doesnt have any sounds or soundtrack. Even voices from sex videos were removed.

To sum it up:
The story in this game is so bad. But if you skip the plot, then there is some value in this game as a gallery of sex clips.

This game barely deserves rating 2/5 , but I am giving it 3/5 because it is still early in development and it might change for better. Lets say I am an optimist.
