This used to be my all-time favorite H-Game, hands down.
But after the remake started, I have mixed feelings.
Art-wise, I LOVE it. The new models are AMAZING, and are EASILY at the top of my list. They're way better than they used to be, not just in terms of attractiveness (which is crazy, because they were good even then, they're just EVEN BETTER now!) but even the quality has SKYROCKETED.
They're so much better, and I love to see it.
I don't know if I'm fond of the MC having such long hair, but that's neither here nor there.
However... story wise... I hate to say that am a bit disappointed.
On one hand, the setting has been given more depth. This is appreciated, and even the world itself has things actually happening in it to give it some much-needed "life".
But the MC story is, I hate to say, pretty bad once you reach the hospital. Which is bad news since that's maybe 2/3rds of the content in 0.1.5.
It's just scene after scene of the MC squeezing their hog.
One could argue that at least there are NSFW of the girls, but if I'm completely honest, since it's the MC's imagination I just didn't really care in the slightest about those scenes. And I felt similarly about the voyeurism scene - what's the point of the MC being unable to cum, but then just watching some girls who very clearly would be very welcoming towards the MC? It doesn't make sense. I think there's supposed to be some sort of implication that the MC is "out of it" in some way, during those scenes, but that still doesn't make sense because even in the old version when the MC was "out of it" (at the beach), they pounced on needy women.
It's just so. Much. Talking. The MC lies in bed in the hospital while everybody talks around and to them for what I think actually amounted to at least an hour of gameplay.
It's not that the dialogue is even bad either - I really like the building of the characters and relationships. I just think it goes on for way, WAY too long.
In fact, two days are repeated with the sister and mother.
Anyways. This got kind of ramble-y.
So overall I have loved this game for years, I really have, and I hope it's development goes strong for a LONG time to come - at least to where the story was pre-remake, but ideally even further.
I really hope this doesn't turn out to be another sad case of a game that used to be great get destroyed and disrespected by it's developer! But it's been around for YEARS now, so I trust them not to do that, at least a little bit.
I would give it 5 stars, but I don't feel like there's enough content for that.
Yet!
