I'm going to be one of the odd fish who gives this game a 3 star rating. The game isn't as bad as many are making it out to be. That said, development has gone in a strange and sub-optimal direction. And I think this can be excused if BrainDrop is spending most of his energy at the moment on the season 1 redesign.
Very simply: there are too many girls now. It's not even necessarily a number issue, but rather the writing has gone heavily in the quantity direction, and consequently half of the characters don't have any personality at all. As a basic rule in this type of development, if you add a new character, you give that character the screen time to have their personality, traits, and quirks develop. Rather, the developer seems to add new characters, teases you a bit with them, and then doesn't really do anything with them for months or even years of development time. In the unlikely event he reads this: please stop adding new characters for a while and focus on adding depth to the ones that are there.
That said, there's still some really nice moments and development for the few characters that have been given attention, like the recent(as of this post) story point about Rachel was really nice. BrainDrop clearly has the writing chops, but he seems to enjoy spending too much time on the asset store buying new girls, which is a shame. Hopefully the re-write of season 1 will lead to a fully fleshed out character roster, and that's where his energy is going.
And stop blueballing me on Stacy and Azel. I understand that having Azel content is a no-go for patreon rules, but some sort of officially unofficial modded content would be nice.
The core narrative of the story has become a bit convoluted, but still has the potential to be good. I don't even like basketball, but I feel like one of the central columns of this game should be the...basketball. No? The game about a basketball star has been in development for 4 and a half years and has only 1 game of basketball even referenced, let alone played? The main plot of the MC's backstory has some potential I suppose, but it has been spinning it's wheels for a while now.
The renders, particularly the most recent ones, are nice in their appearance.
The characters are hot, and even though the writing isn't there to properly differentiate them, there's good variety in terms of appearance and body types.
Not everyone is genetically engineered to be voluptuous, and that's nice.
Ultimately if you play through to the end of the current version; there's a lot of content, but it feels like a mixed bag of good and bad components. With better love interest character development, a slowdown of the ingame chronology's pacing, and more "everyday" content mixed in with the high stakes mystery stuff, and this game could be really good. But if I'm honest, as of right now, the game feels most like a kinetic novel porn simulator. And there's nothing wrong with a kinetic novel porn simulator; I just don't think that's what this game should be, though.
5/10, improvement easily possible.
