LONG POST with spoilers: - Swag -
Against better judgement I decided to try this game out.
From the tags alone what brushed me off was that it has multiple protagonists. You either dont mind it or hate it. I hate it.
But the future planned
harem tag persuaded me to at least give it a go and see if this even possible with a main cast of 3-4 people within a realistic setting.
And after playing the game I dont think this is possible. Either Dev. dont know what Harem is because he has a different definition of it (which I doubt) or since its "just" 0.2, there are much to come where it somehow turns into one. Im all for a harem, make it happen.
Its kinda all these Main characters "exist" in this game world and you as the player "craft" or "modify" their path. So its not of these games where you have a power trip from start to the end, but more where you see everything happend like in a TV show. So since the story will go more darker with more updates you gonna expect to see some bad shit happening to your waifus.
Or if you like me who wants a single MC (Logan Knox, you can change the name tho), you can somehow "craft" it. So if you are one these people like me who wants only one MC to have all the girls, you can make it, at least in the 0.2 version. Future updates, like always, can fuck it up.
There are right now
3 MC and all of them have sexual scenes. 1 Female (the singer "
Rainn" of the band), the guitar guy ( "
Logan", probably
THE MC) and her ex BF "
Luke". (I gonna rant about him later)
However, I dont think that
THE "MC" will have the chance to meet the girls from Luke encounters, which is kind sad since they are hot looking.
You can decide who of them will have sex which is good because I plan to play a harem path and I dont want to see other people fuck the LIs. However, some stuff still happen, like Veronice kissing Luke
So...you have options but you wont have your LIs being "pure". And like I said already, the further the game goes the higher the chances more of scene like this will happen. Most action has Rainn tho with of them being Lesbian ones. The MC got two scenes where Luke has one. Also Rainn has most of the story involved around her and most of the LI, male and female are into her. So its mostly Rainn the "true" MC here. Kinda lame
However, I still picked the lesbo scene with Rainn + Reagan and other "romances" with them through the story because it seems she is "exploring".
Im a guy who most of the time hate such stuff, but here, probably because I dont know what the outcome will be, I let it slide.
Probably because I think both of them will end up in the harem I dont mind them making out like that. I mean, they will do it in the harem later anyway lol.
I also picked the option to let Rainn go and meet up James because I hope to see that MC will "safe/conquer" her. But my gut feeling says me its the option to let them bang each other. If thats the case in the next update, I will decide to refuse the meet up...because harem.
Would be nice to see which options, at least the most important ones, will lead into which path.
Because I can see that from the first event I could "locked" myself into a Rainn Lesbian-only relation ship with Reagan.
But I can also see it my way, like the "exploring" type of plot. So the further the game goes something like that would be nice.
The game theme is "rock/metal band goes huge and during these times shit happens. Good and Bad ones."
Its divided in chapters, which are short, but for 0.2 having already 8 chapters its a damn feast.
Most of the current common thing is that all 3 MC gots cheated/Betrayed and you choose how they behave.
During the 0.2 version its more tame since we get the people to know, from the tags and the description I assume the real shit starts in later updates. Since its more "real" without any sci fi or supernatural elements the contend you may get could go both ways. At this point the scenes, SFW and NSFW are plausible and make sense.
I dont think I should say this since its almost non existend but a note of warning.
MC gets cucked by black dude(s) (classic NTR
) but thats not the focus of the game. It wasnt shown and it was just briefly mentioned. MC dosent seems devestated about but still grieves about it. Will this play a bigger role in the future ? If you played the current version you get the answear...and I dont know what to say.
Kinda to early to judge.
This game as so much characters, so many dicks in the pond...
There are some other characters like Briton or Mark which are also males and are some sort of CEO in some agency for Music start. They could play also a bigger role at some point but I dont think they will have something sexual going on in the story.
By the way, based game dev
Story seems really interesting. I wish it wasnt focused on this whole Rockstar-group thing but more what happend behind the plot because this seems to be far more interesting. If you ever start a new game with a singel MC and more about this whole "Numbers" plot im all for it. But thats my personal opinion.
The game tries to give me the illusion that the story, despite being fiction, plays in our current time. Thats why you will see references to real life people/bands etc. Like the Joe Rogans Podcast. (Based Dev. once again)
And for what it is to some point it manages it.
Ok, now to the whole Luke thing.
First of all, Dev. should make the game he wants. And I wanna see how he can turn this into a harem because I dont see it happening. Because the whole harem thing is whats important for me and thats why I have my concerns.
Because for this you need to decide who
THE MC will be, and from what I got its Logan, not Luke. Expect you go for the goal where
both of them end up with a harem...which im not found off. Kinda like World End Harem type of "meh".
I didnt mind playing throug Rainns perspective, but playing from another dudes roles is whats made me exiting the game many times. I was thinking to delete the game and dont even bother to comment but I decided to fast skipping the scenes until I found a nazi guy and I was "WTF?!".
I never saw something like this in a Adult VN and this sparked my curiosity. So I gave it another chance...but this Luke...
Luke gets this much attention, romance and sex wise + also LIs + also has a huge Dick. (3th Main Character, duh
)
It could work if we as the player can decide to manipulate Lukes romance so that all the other LIs could switch sites but you need to craft a whole new story for this, only to have a harem.
But the way Veronica acts towards him is wishful thinking. My guess is if you dont decide that Rainn end up with him again, she will replace her and end up with him.
Execpt that, the models are a banger. Like seriously, hot damn. The lighting is nice. Scenes are put with much detail.
So after all that, its a mixed bag. Despite me not liking these "Rockstar" type of stories, this one has however a dark tone of it and I even allow myself to go out of my comfort zone to allow the LI to experiment. Not even Vampire games got this tone...But that you play another dude throught the story and I dont know what I can or cant do with him or/and his LIs makes me uncomfortable.
I want to like it, and its a rough diamant in my eyes because I see very much good potential.
What the "MC" did to Nick, bombasting. Thats what I like to see. Hands down a likeable MC I played in such a long time.
(Could used some nice music and SFX to be more epic.
)
But some stuff makes me just not like it and that every chapter more males gets introduced makes me question things, and I cant blame the dev for it since he dosent did anything wrong. Its just my personal taste.
Its clear for me what Rainns mom is doing. And since my fav. girl Sam is a tranny, and has eyes for Rainn I think this is as far as I can play this game.
However, if you dont mind to see who bangs who, like a TV shows I mentioned earlier, this a safe recommendation for sure
If your a harem guy like me...wait for 2-3 updates to see where it goes and judge for yourself. My adventure ends here but I keep my eyes up for his next game since it seems dev. can write good and interesting stories.
