This one is quite of a peculiar kind.
The reverse mentality of the men and women? I knew it. Making all the men into femboys though? Quite a good idea. The femboys are actually even cuter than the women, since they all have fat bodies, and it is refreshing to see such a twist.
But, I did have my eyes on the game before the remake. Now, I kind of could see how the game would benefit from a remake: it wasn't really good. Basically just giving a cozy vibe without true high or low. No real stakes to play but still not a bad game.
So remaking the whole beginning to shift toward a more story-focused game would have been an understandable idea, allowing the game to growth more appealing to a new audience.
It didn't.
Because of three reasons.
The first one is the other-world part.
Right at the beginning, the game put you as a soul in the other-world, fucking souls and demons on the way out.
The game had a part explaining about the correlation with the demons and the Mc originally, but it was pretty weak.
For a reason: this isn't the main part. Indeed, all happen to the other side, once the Mc get a body. The original scenario was getting that, so it made it short without staying on a part that would bring nothing to the actual story.
The remake is aware of it too. There is a lot of sex in the other-world, yet, almost all of it is with eyeless characters. Proving that they are of no import to the actual game.
Yet, the dev though it was a good idea to spend time fucking mannequins for hours.
The second is the writing: it got lengthy.
In the other-world, it is mainly the Mc speaking alone. It is boring, trying to be comical and stretching out every moment but it isn't the main part so I let it slide.
Hence he get in the actual world, the formula change giving smaller episode, which is common. What isn't is that since the game is a fuckfest, it ends every time with something sexual. A good thing, in theory.
I'll put it simply, the nurse gets in the order HJ, HJ, HJ, HJ, HJ, ThighJ, ButtJ, ThighJ, ButtJ. The doctor, about the same but with BJ and
less diversity at the end. The rest of the time? Peeping on people masturbating or dreams about sex.
What does that mean?
If you are use to the porn's way, then you have already got it. Using the same kind of foreplay is just stalling. There is no progression on the relationship of the characters. The dreams/peeping? Even worse, since nothing actually happen.
The fact that the plays with the characters are also oriented toward the pleasure of the guy only is also a big red flag. It means that there is no corruption. You do not give pleasure, so the other part do not fall for you.
Lastly, since it is just about the guy bursting out, it also means that you'll only see a dick and a hand or head all the time. And no matter how you put it, jerking off on a dick is just gay.
I know that most of the industry is conveniently forgetting that, but it is what it is.
The game make you want to get the next scene, the next step, but it was just an utter disappointment every time.
The third is the body type.
I'm not the kind to care about those, I get it that every one want mainly enormous breasts. That's fine. But here? It's pushing it, you have 2 type of bodies all along: the fat female type and the slim femboy type. The only exception may be the angel at the beginning.
And you do have a lot of scenes with different characters that all feel the same because the body type is always the same, making you wonder why the hell the dev is even bothering at putting so many scenes if it is just to make the same thing again and again.
Now, don't get it wrong. The game does seem promising once you finally get unto it. But that is basically that, it just seems promising. With the stretching out, nothing is delivered.
The worst being that the last update was about to add peeping and dream in an already done prologue with absolutely no purpose. It felt as if the dev had fun to create scenes and just wanted to put them in the game without caring if they were fitting in it.
And a bad creating ethic does not miraculously get better.
