Review of v0.8.5 Extended...
I've really enjoyed this game so far. I wasn't sure about it at first, but it grabbed my attention and drew me in.
The women are all gorgeous and emoted very well. The animations are all also well done.
I really liked the integration of the college social media app for the cell phone where you can text the other characters, leave comments on "instagram", view the college news board. I really like the additions of mechanics like this because it adds an additional layer of immersion and interactivity.
There are a few story beats that are either dropped or just haven't been implemented yet. Like joining the basketball team. I was looking forward to maybe a storyline where you join the basketball team and help lead the team to the championship while Carol (head cheerleader/girlfriend) cheers you on from the sidelines. But nothing like that happens. You go to one practice and never hear about it again.
There are two reasons why the game lost a star for me...
1. For some reason with the version 8 update the script grammar becomes atrocious like a bad translation.
2. Ashley. I like all of the girls and I even like Ashley, but she's the non-sensical trope where she's in college and somehow has zero knowledge about sex to the point where she has to try to bluff her way through a conversation with other girls about it. Yes she's a virgin, but there is a difference between having the physical experience with sex and the knowledge of the subject. I find it hard to believe an 18-20 year old girl had never seen a dick before.
Overall it's a solid game and I high recommend it. I look forward to the game being completed.
