Unexpectedly good game. especially the story. I used to be an aspiring writer in my High-school days. Thriller type story was my forte. Unfortunately I'm studying to be the polar opposite of what I inspired to be(Med School) due to family reason. but this story reminds me of my school days. Keep it up, carry on our dream.
I want to support your patron but I'm still living on my parents money. I hope in 2 years from now my Graduation will be completed and I'll enter the Internship course to earn money to support myself and my hobbies.

Really good Game Dev ! As I could read between the lines from the credits, English is not your first language. To be honest, I thought so while I was playing. Not that the dialogues are bad, on the contrary, but you still notice it somehow, call it instinct. Even though english is not my first language either, but when you read as much english as I do, english coming from english speaking people, you develop a feeling for it. But as I said before, this is not a criticism of the dialogue in the game, just something I noticed. The dialogue between the characters is very direct, to the point and without any unnecessary " beat around the bush ". And yet you can tell, with Della for example, how much she loves our MC. It's very sweet how much she idolizes him.

A few suggestions from me:

As you mentioned yourself in the game, you thought about whether some activities within the game would bore the player. My personal opinion on this - I don't think the player will be bored if you include a quiz or something like that, as long as you don't overdo it. Basically, I think as long as the quiz is rewarding in some way (and we all know what kind of way hehehe), the player will not be bored. The same goes for the "Truth or Dare" Scene - as long as it's interesting, everything is good. And seriously, Della's answer to her question was one of the sweetest moments in the whole game so far ;)

If you plan to implement NTR in the game, I would include it as optional. (Well, i wouldn't include it at all but, you know, some weirdo...äh, i mean, some people like it, so...each their own i guess hehe) However, there are just too many players, including myself, who are not into that at all, so i would keep that optional, like you already did with the "business" in the begining. In general, I would make all kinds of Kinks optional, which gives you the ability to meet the expectations of almost any player.

I don't know what routes you have planned for your game, but many players prefer to focus on one lady, so I would definitely include this option. However, there are also many players who would prefer a "harem" route. I would include this route as well. (Something tells me you already did that, haha)

By the way, I think you mentioned that you're worried that the quality of the game is not so good at times because your hardware does not meet the requirements? Well, I have no idea what you are talking about, the renders and animations look tipi topi. I mean, it's Honey Select and I don't think you could do it much better, even with a Quantum PC 5000 Plus. I mean, I know it could be better, but I wouldn't worry about it, in my opinion it looks very good. But as a set goal for improvement, upgrading your hardware makes sense, of course!

Maybe something else you can really argue about - the amount of female characters. I know, I know, it's a real luxury problem to be surrounded by countless hot ladies...poor, poor players all around the world know how hard that can be. :LOL:
No, joking aside, I don't think you can really tell when it's too much, that's a matter of taste, of course. But I wouldn't let it get to the point where you forget the names of characters because you lost track of all the ladies. I also think, in order to build up a relationship to characters as a player, a certain upper limit of protagonists is recommendable. That's just my personal opinion, of course.

Sooo, I can think of a few little things, but nothing really important and i dont want to get overboard here.
I just wanted to make a few recommendations, which in my opinion are not unimportant.

All in all a great game !

And let me tell you, (from my extensive experience in playing such games, heheheh...) your game has very great potential.
The setting is pretty cool, mafia themes are always a good thing, the ladies are pretty hot, in and out hehehe, the story seems to be quite interesting, even if you can't make a final judgement at this point and the MC seems to be a decent guy. Well, at least he's not a complete jerk like so often in such games. Or to put it another way - the MC can be played the way you would like it to be played. The decisions actually seem to have an influence, which is great !

So, if you maintain this quality, then you could really create a game here that doesn't have to hide behind classics like HH, MM, ES or similar titles (With Honey select Models) ! I hope you stay true to your game and go through with it, it could really be worth it. Even if it's not about money, but simply about realizing your dream. It's obvious you have talent and the people involved in the development seem to know what they are doing! It is really rare that I liked a game so much ! I wish you all the luck with your game, can't wait for the next update ! Oh and I think the game should really be supported, I will definitely consider that !

Cheers !

PS: Before anyone starts - yes I know this is a long text for a post that is not a review. But do not fear, because of course I have also submitted a review ! I am a man of honour after all hehe ! I just thought that the many suggestions are irrelevant for a review and therefore better suited for a normal post.

Really love the game and concept. I even enjoyed the test part! However you might want to be careful with the questions for example from a quick google search I found three different results for blue continent: Europe, Antartica, and the Pacific Ocean. Lucky only one of them was a choice so that wasn't a problem in this case.

The truth or dare is also great and I don't think you have to worry about boring the player. If you are you can have the MC be chosen every few turns and then have him chose skip to end of game as an option. However this may prove detrimental as you have a relationship point system at work in the background. So maybe you should just extend it for a few round especially since no one chose dare.

I love the art in this game though I found there are a lot of greyish hair girls so its kinda difficult to tell them apart you might also want to follow ecchi sensei's example and just have a little pop up the player can reference at anytime for the characters of course this is a lot of work and strictly optional.

I like the character relationships in this game as they do feel very alive. For example Gill may have very well kick your ass but he still respects you. The large cast is also quite nice as it does very well the task you set forth for them. They make the university feel alive. I especially love the effort you went to put random students in the street leading to the university as some devs would cut corners by just using an empty street. The fact that the mafia dabbles in both legal and illegal business is a nice as it does reflect the real life mafia. Also I like the cloak and dagger feel the game is having right now. It reminds me some anime/cartoons where mundane life is contrasted with all that that is outside of everyday life. I would like to see darker themes though in this as it is a mafia game. (see last section)

Now for some cons
One thing you should do is hide what the MC know from the player. Case in point being the meeting with important people when he started saying everyone's names and background I was extremely confused as to how he knew them until it was revealed after the meeting. I think a simple sentence the night before about Della giving you the information wouldn't hurt. However she doesn't know about the meeting so how could she have given you the info?

However I feel like the MC's relationship with Della is a bit weird. In the beginning it introduces Della as a girl who sees the MC as a god. Yet aside from the opening sex scene (which I skipped as I thought there would be consequences) we don't really see that dynamic of her being below him or her revering him as a god. Instead after the intro she seems more like a clingy nymphomaniac girlfriend. So maybe you could add a few scenes to illustrate this relation they have in either sexual or non sexual ways. For sexual (some ideas are kinda kinky and I don't like PM me if you want more) you can have the MC do things without her permission that one would normally ask to do beforehand such as maybe asphyxiation which she would maybe at first resist due to shock but then force him to choke her harder. Another idea is a golden shower though this one is one that can be off putting and I'm not a fan off. For nonsexual maybe you can have her go behind the MC's back to get revenge on someone who insulted him. For example she might force a girl to grovel at the MC's feet or beat up a guy (this could also maybe be used to explore a merciful MC and a Della that is a zealot.). Another alternative can be at the beginning where you beat up the thugs you can tell her to finish them and have her kill them to show how she is so devoted she doesn't even need a reason to kill someone. Which can be followed by her happily leaving the alley with a smile as she was able to serve her god. As an alternative if you want the MC to continue being like how he is maybe you can have Della realize by herself she may have crossed the lines on how clingy she is and punish herself. Maybe by exercising an extreme form of subservience to her God such as performing a dogeza.

Also like someone mentioned about the amount of characters. I think its fine to introduce a lot of characters but make sure you spend time with them so the player can learn who they are. Try to have multiple small interactions before hand or else it would lead to confusion about who is who. For example at the party I was trying to recall who is who but I couldn't as there wasn't much prior interaction. As previously mentioned ecchi Sensei has a large cast but you are able to remember most of them due to previous memorable interactions.


What I would like to see
I see someone mention NTR which I agree should be optional. It is extremely off putting for some people but I know those same people would be ok with being the one stealing a girl which seems to already be a possible route in game.

I also have a rape kink so I would like to see that work its way into a relationship as I could think of some interesting ways that could play out. Maybe a girl seduces him and they have sex but it hurts for her and afterwards he realizes she is crying and asks whats wrong and he finds out it wasn't entirely willing. So then he can chose a healing route or a darker route where he makes her drag her friend into it (misery loves company) dang I just realized thats kinda dark.

Also just an idea I think the action the MC takes should affect Della's personality even if she isn't there as she would have been shaped by his personality growing up. So if the MC is more cruel such as when he chooses to have sex with the girl in the strip club it should maybe make Della more of a masochist while if he chose not to their relationship would be closer to what they have currently.

I'm sorry if this review came off as a bit assertive but I really love the work you devs do and I want to help the best I can (since I'm still in college so I don't have cash to donate) to help however I can. PS i don't know why the mac version keeps on having the MC refer to her as Dell instead of Della is this a bug or on purpose?

PS your English was fine I was able to understand most of whats going on

Hey ppl. My Engrish is kinda bad. So i am bit confused by this talk choice. Isn't this double negative? I don't get this mc response.
marcelinka So you don't want me to be approached by another man, huh?
MC: Nope, I'm okay with that.
?
how do you translate that?

damn that whole question and her response is weird. Is that mc agreeing or disagreeing ?

He's disagreeing and allowing her to apporach other guys.I don't remmeber the other choice so the probably the other one would agree with her

But then she says in same response: Yeah I guess you're right on that one. I won't be approaching any other men and if they approach me? Well I'm always armed. Haha

i mean i have no "father girll" fetish so i would rather have nothing with her in the first place. But choices are weird..approach as man to unknown girl or as lame cry baby and further response is even weirder ..no one but my father? and if u say agree then its anyone? how about i get choice not to have anything with her? even the discussion ?
I guess what i am trying to say is that i dont do "sharing" and i wouldnt go to "father" girl in anyway regardless of their "relationship" if she was "unknown douche" wife or w/e thats different i guess... but shes not and "father" is alive.. so.. its a turn off..


*Edit
after playing bit more i came to sentance "Finally I can have sex with a woman other than Marcelinka or Della"
I guess dev made mc fuck marc , thats weird to me , i guess this isnt for me then

why not change to give mc and marc some deep attraction or something ,maybe hidden lust/love for mc over the years w/e and she would do anything for him and stuff like that and when "father" finally "signs out" she goes all in for mc ..?

"Nope, I'm okay with that." means he's okay with other guys approaching her -but that's because he's confident enough that she won't be interested. It's not opening some sharing path.
Saying "Of course! You're mine." Means he wants her to herself -but he knows he can't stop what goes on between her and his father. Hence the line that followed.

There is no 'lame cry baby' approach and she's not an 'unknown girl'.
She's someone the MC has known for a long time and someone he has a pre-established sexual relationship with.
You can't change what's already happened in the MCs life and he can't currently change the nature of her relationship with his father. Just to be clear - Marcelinka and the MCs father are not a couple but neither are Marcelinka and the MC.
Nothing sexual has been forced with her in the game so far but she will be a big part of the story so she can't be avoided entirely. That would make no sense.

---Marcelinka and the MCs father are not a couple but neither are Marcelinka and the MC.---
what do u mean they are not couple? she is sex toy for his father and a sex teacher to mc? how is that not couple? Maybe i have different definition of a couple? if u fuck someone on regular basis , thats couple to me..?

---There is no 'lame cry baby' approach and she's not an 'unknown girl'---
ah i made quite misshap i missed black screen part when it said : "went to see marcelinka" so i went with "unknown girl" approach , so if it was unknown it would be logical to man up and approach , other would be pussy cat.. :) but anyway ok my bad i didnt notice that text

---Nothing sexual has been forced with her in the game---
if mc father used her as sex toy isnt that forced?

All i am saying is that maybe , just maybe, since this is only prologue , try to change slightly and make their relationship different like i suggested above. She can still play all the role intended for her. I mean from my standpoint it would be damn hot if she went full love mode for MC over they years and also due to ass of a father who only objectified her. And then grow relationship from there? to full mod after pops "signs off"? ..unless dev doesnt have intentions for mc father to "sign off" ..

P.S
To DEV Eranfer i really! really love Della, her sentences during truth or dare were totally perfect. Love the character! Thanks for that
