Version played: 0.20
Just some quick ramblings, don’t expect me to spend the time to write about everything or actually make it short:
Story wise it’s pretty decent, I have 0 experience with the original work but it works well on it’s own it’s definitely a porn game, with a bit of a slower start but that is perfectly fine. Does it always make sense, no but it works for me and is not an endless wall of dialog. So I would call it serviceable.
In terms of length it is reasonably long and doesn’t seem to overstay it’s welcome, the story is progressing along nicely without overstaying its welcome, that being said it originally started in 2017 so it better have a decent amount of content by now. Reading the changelog, don’t expect a lot per update.
Visually I do think the art is pretty decent, the girls do follow the same body plan, a bit more variety in the models would have been nicer. But at least it is somewhat original art and that is already a large step up. The visuals are also pretty consistent so I calso can’t fault them here.
Content wise there are a decent number of scenes and later on it ramps up quite a bit. Pacing could be better though, as the beginning is rather barren.
In terms of game play this is where everything kind of falls apart.
Starting from the beginning on the first day after the introduction you need to go to some cave. This objective is nicely highlighted on the map, only catch is you have to skip wait til evening and unlike some other games the highlight is there, even if you cannot complete an objective at time. Yes you could play the money making mini game instead, but why should you, at that time you don’t need to make money at that time.
The moneymaking mini game is pretty bad and takes a whole 2 minutes every time, cheating really isn’t a bad option.
After doing that objective in the evening, you have to skip till the next morning again, only to get your next objective, for you guessed it the next evening. This gets a bit better later on, or you get used to it but remains an issue.
Combat and other mini games are not great either. The combat has a lot of RNG and is generally pretty mindless and dull.
Another thing to note is saves are not compatible, there is an option to progress to the last update, but not to other versions. I personally just follow the updates once a game makes significant progress, so I tend to skip at least a few.
