Y'know, I've been clowning on this remake for a while now, but I recently replayed half the prologue we got and... it's pretty good.
Originally, as someone who liked the og, I went in wanting to hate. Now coming at it with a more neutral view, I see it's good, bordering on great. I like the little details like the text having effects to denote tone instead of needing to rely on a narrator, the menus having animations of the girls, the quick menu options being not the default ones; just little things that show care.
By far the best part are the sex scenes. It's funny how one of the main complaints was that they were too long, but I now disagree with this point completely. The sex scenes are top notch dirty. There is no romance, no overly verbose text, just dirty talk straight out of hentai and PLAP PLAP PLAP to activate the monkey brain, and the length facilitates fapping to it.
Also, and this is the strongest point for the remake over almost every other WEG, a majority of the game is porn. The prologue lasts 2 hours, 1 and a half is porn. There are 21 scenes currently, discounting the mob demons, 15 scenes. That's insane. That's how many scenes games have a quarter of the way through, and this is half of the prologue.
The main problem was, I think, focusing on hell. I can see that Snats wants to focus more on what was arguably the main plot, but it was a true blunder to make it the first thing people get after months. If the first release had been the hospital and the introduction to the family it would've been way better received and we wouldn't have had to wait like 8 months for the other half of the prologue, instead, we'd have had to wait 8 months for update 2. The people want what they want, and if they don't get it, they'll hate what they get no matter its quality.
I don't think Snats is a scammer, I just thinks he's a poor planner with very poor view of how much work he can do in an amount of time. The release isn't perfect either, not by a long shot. For all that talk, the models still clip, and there are a lot of grammatical errors, which is crazy to have in a project being worked on for this long. That said, what we do have is some pretty decent smut.
If this new update manages to match the amount and quality of the scenes of the last one, I'd say the game has a lot of potential to be good. We'll see.
