Well, this game visual alone and animation is prety uniqe and amount of content for introdution is good. story of this game is intresting and had some humor that may be make you chuckle a little(comedy is subjective I don't jude) but there may have some plot that didn't make sense that make you question those character action but it is only a small part of the story. The main story is intresting and make me want to know about it more. Sex scene is hot and well animated both visual and animation and the fight scene that didn't had to be this good but dev decide to just make fighting animation is just chef kiss for this game.
What can I say other than just try playing it yourself because all of this is just my opinion you may love it or hate it i don't know but for me this game is better than your average game in market for sure.
Ehh.... I personally tapped out at a certain point, but the game isn't really bad (And the art is obviously great). The main issue I had with this is that there seems to be a bit of an identity crisis.
First of all, the death game-ish premise could have been quite gripping with interpersonal drama, mystery, and survival aspects, but the absurdly light and comical tone kills any such vibes.
Secondly, the two routes seem to be corruption vs romance. Corruption as in the MC being pervy and less moral. But as with the above, the tone is anime quirky humor (not very funny and exceedingly pervasive throughout the writing with no sense of timing) and the MC is a frivolous twat who can't be taken seriously, which means I don't buy for a second that this MC will turn into a corruptor taking a bunch of hot sluts as his harem. The romance routes seem to be about respecting boundaries and being a white knight, and the girls taking the initiative. That at least fits the tone a bit more because the MC is intentionally written as a complete idiot.
Thirdly, there is a dual protagonist set up, apparently. The MC's sister has her own story line that will intersect with the MC at some point? I mean, sure, I enjoy dual protag set ups, but that's for the potential optional NTR set ups like ORS or various other dual protag games, but I'm not even sure if that kind of scenario will be supported in this game.
Lastly, while it's more of a personal preference kind of thing, I just think there is a huge missed opportunity. I feel like a serious take on the premise (without all the cringe humor) with a Harem/romance vs NTR route split would have been something very enjoyable. I can see that the dev flirts with common set ups that could potentially lead to an NTR scenario, but I don't know if that's in the plans. For example, the other guys are shown to be predatory alphas (and an ugly bastard) and the MC a complete loser. There are multiple scenes where the girls are about to get taken advantage of, and various allusions to how the guys are running the "other camp." But hey, that's just how I would structure the game. Not docking points for this since NTR isn't something everyone is interested in.
In closing, I just feel like the game lacks direction. There is an overly lighthearted mood considering they are all trapped on an island after a terrorist shoots the pilot and downs their plane. And the killer could be among them. They are seemingly just having a nice no-stakes survival roleplay with the cringy tone undermining the impact of both the plot and porn. I have a very low tolerance for what I consider poor attempts at humor though. Results may vary for others.
Great art: The 2D art is excellent and the backgrounds are pleasing too. The facial expressions are very unique which is pretty rare for the years I've been playing visual novels and these types of games. The models and clothes are also very detailed leaving very visually appealing characters.
Characters: The plot itself isn't necessarily uncommon. Trapped on an island, hot girls, however the characters and story makes up for it. Besides the killer of course, the characters have different motives or reasons that may be survival, indulgence, friendship or more. There are different personalities at play and some different body types present as well.
I enjoyed the characters both visually and personality wise. The main character himself is kind of a dork, but he does actually have a personality and tries to be helpful and keep some of his new friends safe. He is far from the protagonist of the all handsome guy carrying a big package and even has a good degree of humor to him.
Animations: Animations are present in the visual novel and are pretty good which only enhances how great the models already look in H scenes.
Fetish and content: So far as of V0.1B, there is enough content for a first release. Besides vanilla sex, gangbang and numerous erotic situations, there seem to be elements of female domination content (Hard and Soft) and also some foot fetish content. The erotic situations are well done and some are pretty unique. The femdom element is also avoidable for those not interested in that cup of tea.
Neutral:
Humor: While I enjoyed the humor present, not everyone may enjoy it as it can be seen as immersive breaking at times. The humor makes it so the game is actually pretty lighter on the atmosphere then it would be if it was taken fully seriously. This may come down to preference as to which type of tone the audience prefers, but as there were some heartfelt and genuine moments in the game, I believe it may be possible to balance out.
Free roam: It is not always clear where to go so there may be sometimes where you have to click in multiple directions and hope you find the next scene or story. I can't say this truly hindered my playthrough however, just slowed it down a bit.
Cons:
The main and only negative I can think of so far is that some characters seem to latch onto the main character a bit too quickly. While some of this may be justified by the environment and other characters in the story, it may have been nicer if it was just a tad bit slower. This is not representative of much of the female characters however, so it did not hurt my enjoyment of the game.
Final thoughts:
This is a very good game with amazing art and fun characters. Great for those who enjoy femdom elements and still good for those who enjoy great visuals and characters, not to mention the H scenes. I have not seen a game quite like this one and it is very refreshing to see unique visual novels.
Vacation Comes with a Cost [V0.1]
This is a very decent game. I thought of giving it a 5-star at first, but there are a few things that I don’t like about the game. So, it is a 4 for m3.
Pros:
The art is very good
For 2D animation, it is a very good
The story is very interesting and exciting. It knows how to keep your attention
The girls are very sexy looking
Most characters have a somewhat interesting and unique personality
Between good and bad:
The game mechanics: It’s alright I guess. The sandbox part wasn’t very bad. But the game is very kinetic at the moment
Cons:
Although I said that the story is interesting there are parts that feel unrealistic/cringe. For example: When everyone first arrives at the island quite a few people suspect that the MC is the killer. The MC is very wimpy looking and physically fragile, it is very weird that so many people consider him as a killer throughout the game.
Did I mention that the MC looks like a sore loser? Apparently, he is one too. He is also very spineless at the same time. His dialogues are very cringe. His facial expressions are very annoying too. He has no redeeming quality at all.
Played on demo.
Pros:
- good writing, overall funny tone and even though the devs warned they aren't natives it's better than a lot of games on this site and I didn't notice Ingrish-like mistakes.
- artworks are positively differents than your classic VN with overused models.
- the setting has potential, humor will definitly be a huge component of the game, it's not the same lame, bland hero with a dick the size of an arm.
Cons:
- so far only the lack of content, but's it's only the demo so quite normal, but still the reason why I didn't give five stars.
Good job devs, it's a good start, I'll be looking for your full episodes!
