This review is directed towards [v0.03 Fix 2] which is the latest version posted in the site
Oh man, what a gem I have found and this is just the beginning.. where to start
.- World-building and story:
I am a person that seeks for games that take into consideration good world-building, storywriting and mechanics first and foremost, and then having the porn as a bonus.. and I have to say, this game has not disappointed in any of those.
World-building and storywriting up until now are very very good. It is commendable that Greono is putting a lot of effort and emphasis into making a story that is fun, engaging, and believable. The vast cast of characters all seem different and unique, although the corruption aspect of the game is hinted at pretty early on with that new drug that's going around as well as certain characters exhibiting morally questionable behavior, the first one we see that is on the deep-end of that stuff already
There's nothing resembling the typical trope in NSFW games of girls losing their minds from day one or acting in a way that is unnatural and cringe. The corruption aspect of this game, should you want to pursue it, takes time to develop as it should and it's not reflected on the characters immediately.
Interactions between the characters are pretty good too.
It is very well done and it honestly brings me joy to see so much emphasis on this. It motivates me to play the game
I do have to say though, I have found some typo errors throughout some of the dialogues, the one that comes to mind at the moment is when
There are other minor language errors sprinkled throughout, but those are just polish concerns.
There are also a few plot holes, such as
.- Gameplay:
There's nothing technically innovating when it comes to this game, it is a CYOA type of game where you basically choose the type of life you want your character to have.
But what is commendable about this is that it truly allows you to shape the character the way you would want to.
Do you want to be gay? Straight? Swing both ways? There's a route or series of routes you can choose to do so for each option. Likewise for being submissive or dominant.
There are literally so many different things you can do that I just love it, this is another factor that motivates me to continue playing the game.
Also the fact that there are skillchecks which sometimes are necessary should you want to pursue a specific option. Being more fit, smarter, more creative.. to try and get away with different situations, it's a really complete game in this regard too.
.- Artwork and sexual scenes:
Starting with the UI, I think it is pretty nicely designed. It isn't obstructive to the player or anything, it has pretty nice colors.
It seems as though the Quests tab and Secrets tab hasn't been developed at the moment there, and the Experiences tab remains a blank slate thus far too.
There also seems to be an issue with certain characters profiles in the Character's tab either not unlocking, or their profiles not working.
Gameplay tab is very useful and appreciated, as it explains briefly and concisely what each of the attributes and skills do and how they would be able to affect your gameplay.
Characters are very expressive, which is always welcome, as it brings a lot of life to them and makes them seem more real.
As for sex scenes, I only got.. three of them in total perhaps? But from what I've seen, they are very well done. Firstly, the writing for them is done pretty well, it enhances the scene a lot, and the animations for them when they have it are also pretty well done.
They are very smooth, I honestly appreciate the fact that there are no sex sound effects as that would potentially ruin the scene.. seeing the characters expressions throughout is already enough for me, nice ejaculation visuals.. bonus points for being copious too
The characters I've fooled around with were pretty endowed too, which I also like..
It could be a good idea to make different characters have different sizes, to add a bit more variety to the mix, but I wouldn't mind if they remain pretty endowed either hehe.
.- Sound effects:
Currently, there aren't a whole lot of them, but the few existing themes for the different ambiences are good and add to the immersion of the game.
Overall, a very good game right from the start which shows a lot of promise. I will keep a close eye on it, kudos to the dev for the hard effort put into making this a reality.
