So, I felt the need to review this primarily due to the recent reviews, and what people have been saying. Let me address that first.
Folks, some of you seem to have forgotten that VN stands for Visual Novel. Its supposed to be a story, accompanied by imagery. That typically involves reading. That involves clicking. If you want straight up porn, go visit a porn site. Yes, there is alot of clicking. Sure, it could have been condensed a little better. But there IS a story to this game, and that story is being told.
That being said, lets continue.
Graphics/Art: This is a typical Honey Select style game. Anyone who has played a single HS game, knows exactly what to expect from the character models in here. Oddly enough, animations are fairly low tier. This is strange because the animations are pre-cooked for the dev, so its odd that they are low quality.
Audio: Game uses fairly "standard" VN audio in most situations, with some occasions with other stuff. For example, at one point music from Final Fantasy X is used. Its not to say that its used badly, just be prepared for the usual musical stuff.
Story: The story is HEAVILY based in religion, but with significant liberties taken. The MC is a "Chosen One", who must gain power to fight off "Satanicia", who is gaining power through tormenting pure/innocent young women. You gain power through the joining of flesh with those same young women. It's not exactly an original story, but let's be honest, original stories are quite rare here. Its how you tell your story that matters, and this dev is doing a fairly good job of telling his story.
Gameplay: So far, this is a fairly straightforward VN, quite linear. That being said, there ARE quite a few choices to be made that result in Walking Dead style "X will remember that" popups. I don't yet know what impact these have, but they do appear based on your selections, or lack thereof. In addition, midway through Chapter 2 (The current release as of this writing), there seems to be an element of Sandbox added. Its VERY small, you get a total of TWO choices of three options each, essentially choices of which girl you want to spend more time with. Personally, I'm a fan of Sandbox, so I hope this is expanded later.
Final thoughts: This is a 4.5gb download, for about 90-120 minutes of content. That is absurd. Dev, please take the time to properly convert your files to save on file space. There is absolutely no reason for this to be a 4.5gb file size. In addition, consider going back through your code on your existing releases, and cut down on some of the text click through. Using multi click experiences on single text windows should be reserved for emphasis on the conversation, not literally everything being said. Also, many many times, you broke up conversations into multiple frames that aren't needed. Instead of "unimportant" frames with 4-5 words, combine 3 or 4 of those frames into a single one with 2 sentences. Reserve those smaller 4-5 word text frames for important text.
tl;dr: Yes, there is a lot of clicking. The story is decent. Characters are typical Honey Select. Not a bad game. Potential to be quite good, if the dev takes honest feedback.
