Ep.1 (about 1 hour)
The premise is, that MC joins a Big Brother type TV show with 1 other male and 6 females. He is encouraged to bed all the ladies. Right off the bat, the premise suffers from gigantic loopholes because the writer immediately clarifies that the other male isn't capable of interfering sexually in multiple (somewhat laughably disarming) ways. However, somehow the show runner can sexually test MC and would be able to replace him quickly, but somehow the same wasn't true for the other male, nullifying the logic of the start of the premise immediately.
There aren't really any choices in the game, it is pretty much a kinetic novel. There is a small round of guessing someone's lie during introductions and an opportunity to forego the sex scene, but no real "choices". Speaking of sex scenes, there are currently 2 scenes in the game, unanimated vanilla (1 bj, 1 sex).
Light stock lounge background music is present. The models look nice in my opinion.
MC is very bland, with no flaws. Too much Gary Stu for my taste. Every girl immediately fancies him, he is a good-looking, young stud, but also financially independent and acts mostly like a white knight in shining armor. Was rolling my eyes a bit reading through his dialogue and thought's. Not only very unrealistic, but also just... dull?
This brings me to my biggest gripe with the game: the writing style. It is painfully boring and repetitive. The writer of this game has an absolute OBSESSION with constantly mentioning that someone is smiling. Basically, every conversation ends up being a variation of something like this:
MC: "How are you doing, character?"
She smiles at me.
Girl: "Oh you came.. bla"
I chuckle
MC: "Indeed"
She nods and laughs
Girl: "So about that X.."
I shrug and smile at her.
We both chuckle at each other.
[repeat]
The writer mentions that someone is laughing/smiling/chuckling over 340 times in just 1 episode. Reads absolutely obsessive. To the dev: You don't need to constantly describe that someone is smiling. You can simply SHOW it by having the model smile. There is a reason why "Show, don't tell" is an established core rule of writing. It just felt like the writer didn't know what to write about and just kept repeating the same sentence over and over again in different variations.
For now, I will give this an average rating, but the writing style in particular stood out in such a negative light that I can barely even justify that, considering it's a rather kinetic novel.
