I'd like to review this when there is a decent amount of content, but I really don't have the patience to wait until 2050. I do like what is here so far, don't get me wrong. I REALLY want to give this four stars. It's very good, the presentation and worldbuilding is top notch. My issues are the same two issues I see over and over. DEFAULT RENPY UI and I'm not sure what bothers me more, a completely awful translation, or in this games case it's almost well done but there are lapses in grammar and words used strangely. A big one being "hu" instead of "huh." Either way, the English isn't all there and it's detrimental to a visual novel. You know, something you read...?
The story is MC's dad dies, not too sad though because he didn't know his dad. Leaves him a house and finds out he's a hairy wizard, or whatever the joke is. He lives with his step-mom and step-sister, a weird thing with that is the "patch" makes it so MC refers to them as step-family? I don't get it, but whatever. Up until the beginning of the story, MC was dumped and ready to go to college on a scholarship. But then get a letter saying his dad's dead and MC needs to go to the reading of the will. His dad left him a broken down house and a key (which isn't even a part of the story yet) and MC wants to learn about his birth parents. So he goes to Dark Falls to try to learn anything. There he learns about magic and how to learn more of it. He was going to a regular university, but Awkwarts, the university of magic, is free and will help him learn about his father. Can I just say, AWKWARTS? Are you kidding me? Anyway. And.... That's all there is in the game so far. MC learns about magic and other races, deters a couple vampires, and sleeps with a half-demon. Not a lot of actual progression.
This game has serious scope issues, there are a ton of love interests and the other half of the story that is hinted at, but not even implemented yet. There's the whole magic side of things and then there's the brewing Sci-Fi plot of space and the damn android on the game's banner. Not to mention the miniscule update size. So Once again this just feels like a patreon-milking story that will take forever by design, unfortunately. And I UnRen'd the game to look at stuff, I'm not kidding how overdeveloped it is. I get making things to build off of, but there are what, THREE "open world" segments in the game in which you walk through two doors, can't click on anything, click on the objective, and are forced right back into the linear story. On top of the shotgun blast of fetishes trying to cater to everyone, I don't see this not being a complete headache of a game to make.
TLDR - Short. Very short. Default textbox, font, and choices which is visually unappealing. The story is good, what little there is. And worth a read, in my opinion. Just.. Find something else to do until there's more here.
