New Thread Ratings

This is a difficult one to rate. On one hand, Waku Waku managed to actually make a playable game that compliments it's wonderful art and animations, learning from the many mistakes of Dojo NTR. On the other, it's still a terrible grind and I can't without good faith tell anyone to play this game without at least talking about the many caveats.

For one thing, a lot of sex scenes are locked behind progression such that trying to massage any of the girls to h them is basically pointless unless they are in love with you and you have completed enough upgrades/stats to trivialize reaching the threshold to enter h. If you don't, it's basically a waste of a few minutes unless you want to enjoy the massage molestation - which is mediocre at best.

The main bulk of the game is shop management but it's largely thoughtless busy work, given that as long as you just continue spending the resources to upgrade you never have to worry about failing the 1 billion yen goal. Partway through the game, you get rewards that basically automate day-of management like sending people to clean, who massages who, etc. and another one that gives 2x speed. This is a section of the game that you alt-tab out of and it happens 30 times in a playthrough - incredibly cumbersome. Upgrades to your shop, learning new skills, training and recruiting employees etc. is all generally nothing you ever have to think about, just make number go big. If you are versed in this genre i'd imagine this game would be an insult, as for me, who never plays these types of games, I find it pretty unengaging.

Buuut, there's a pinball minigame! This is probably the most interesting minigame one of these simulator type games has offered. Brings back memories of TWEWY and it's very well made, only found one glitch which didn't matter too much. Launch your character (pinball) around the map and advertise the store, beat people up etc. Not very skill intensive unfortunately, success is largely based on how strong your main character is over thoughtful launches - grinding!! But it's still fun and I never got bored of it.

Beyond massaging them, you can take the heroines out to a bar and this is where you can get them to like you and get them shitfaced for some h-scenes (this has the same problem as the message scenes, locked until max love). Very visual novel-like, talk to them and choose the right options when you do. Eventually, they'll open up to you about problems and you pinball them away. This portion of the game is very solid albeit the slow and annoying rng minigames of rock paper scissors and dice roll to get them drunk before you do. There's items in the game that you get to make sure these games always win and it's a slap in the face - make me play a minigame where i can play to influence the outcome instead of hoping to win the lottery. Without the 100% win rate items, you have to be lucky four times and if you lose you'll end up shitfaced and then the entire date is over. The mc has low tolerance at the start, and so this leads to a lot of wasted encounters if you don't own the items.

H-content is fantastic with animation, voice acting, and a small handful of cgs. There is an exceptional quality and the only complaint I have here is that I wish there was more of the decent amount that we got. A good bulk of the h is massaging, so be prepared to enjoy the slow burn before the hardcore stuff happens. Like I said earlier, trying to push for h-scenes early is often not rewarding so you'll have to be patient before getting to see anything. It took me about 5 in game days before I started working towards the possibility - i'm sure it can be done faster but that's the ballpark estimate of what to expect. On top of massaging and drunk scenes you can put the daughter and mom into the same massaging room to unlock an extra scenario, hence the theme of this game. It was super neat to see this unfold for the first time. The DLC introduces two new girls that you can h in a more traditional fashion to this genre.

The detail and quality in the h scenes is what makes this game worth the grind, should you decide to play it. Although slogging through the in-game days to an ending may take a decent chunk of hours, with half of it probably being boring, I do think ultimately it is worth it over skipping it all with a full save. Waku Waku has thankfully managed to create a game that is worth the trouble to experience. I would however, recommend a guide to avoid pitfalls and make the experience as smooth as possible.

For version v0.1

XP is an old engine, and it shows. The dev had to hack in a sprint option, but as a hack it's not as functional as sprinting in your typical RPGMaker game. There's no "always dash" option for example (or any options menu at all). The controls are also awkward. 'A' to sprint? Really? The resolution is unbearable if you don't fullscreen it, and the fullscreen option is exclusive fullscreen. You can't hold a button down to speed up text or animations. Luckily there's never any choices presented in the dialogue, so mashing isn't punished, but you wouldn't know that if I didn't tell you.

The map at night has no collision anywhere. Cutscenes often break: emotes and characters are disjointed or characters aren't where they're supposed to be.

This game has the awkward feature where every time the MC starts talking her tits bounce (with a sound effect). It's fun occasionally, but when it happens every other dialogue, like in the very first scene, it's just a joke, and the noise actually gets grating. All the more fun when the same exact noise is used for another animation that's played repeatedly in the same event.

There is not "lots of outfits" as the preview images say. There is in fact no outfit system at all. What actually is in this game? There's a town full of NPCs you can talk to, setting up a bunch of tropes that are never explored (e.g. a clothing shop, an inventor, a babysitting job, and a prankster brat), and the hint of a time system. More importantly though, there's scene after scene of exposition full of slowly walking characters and boring dialogue to mash through that goes on for too long. Thanks for devoting so much time to convey that all the male villagers think the MC is beautiful and want to marry her! If you look at the preview images you've seen basically all of the content.

The town is designed like a long line. Presumably this is to accomodate the last event of this version, where you're forced into an encounter while traveling back to your home from a specific location. The effect this will have on the game when free roaming is that it will take an obnoxious amount of time to get anywhere. It's not like the dev is a stranger to taking away our control for cutscenes, so why not just make this event encountered in the same way?

There's an enemy you fight, and I killed him in one hit. I used the special move, but you have enough mana to cast four more of those. It only takes two normal attacks to kill this enemy. It would take about 8 of this enemy's attacks to kill the player. The enemy isn't even guaranteed to attack every turn. Then, you're presented with a fight against four of this same enemy (with one of them being the one you just fought and presumably near defeat), and the MC is so threatened that she surrenders without a fight. If the player used the special move to one shot an enemy each turn, and the enemies all decided to attack each turn the player would take 3+2+1=6 hits and survive. Instead of surrendering for us in cutscene, it would be better to present an actual threat that we're supposed to lose. At the very least, make it seem like the fight would be one we'd lose.

Overall a pretty good game and generally in the upper echelons of the Daz 3D VN's on this site. Good spread of girls, renders that range from good to amazing depending on the scene, and personally massive bonus points for being one of the better hairy/natural body games out there. It's definitely worth a play.

That said, it's very ambitious. That would be a good thing, more stuff sounds good afterall, but the dev seems to be in that horizontal-development circle of adding new flings, making side story games, and remastering old content with very little forward movement. Counting from the gallery there are 22 girls in the game now, granted most of these seem like one-time-flings, but every one-time-fling is dev and player time spent away from letting you settle in with a smaller cast.

I suspect this may be happening because they were a bit overly ambitious with the core girls too. The main girl, Lexi, has 3 different relationship paths and five pubic hair variations, creating exponentially more scene variation work. They seem to have course corrected this some, Lexi's paths seem to be coalescing into a single relationship on-ramp and Maria has a far more reasonably perfect three hair options, so that's good. I think the dev just needs to get the ball rolling now and pick a girl and expand her, it may give them that smaller scope and singular focus they seem to be seeking with all these flings and smaller side-games.

Usually I try to stick more to content as it is rather than development concerns in reviews, but with how much of the game is meeting new girls without revisiting them so far, it is affecting the content. But that aside, it is a very good VN. If you like redheaded cuties with puffy little bushes or romantic dates with shy traps, definitely give it a go.

Pretty good start, i really like and i think have potencial Good Job dude.
Maybe in the future we can choose to denegated some futas and being Agresive that have repercussions like some Black Mail or Rape escenes? Maybe too kinky LOL.

I personally quite enjoyed the game. Its a tad grindy which I didn't appreciate, but it kept me busy for a few hours. I didn't bother with getting any of the cup size upgrades as Ds were perfect size for me. I liked having the character creator for getting some of the challenges done to unlock other items in the shop. The game is free, so I don't see a reason to not give it a shot.

Entertaining, not much of a arching plot but more slice of life. Word choice can be a little awkward but its overall pretty well written. More of a 4 star game, but will give 5th star for huge of amount of content relative to how long its been in development. Fun game to play

A very good game, which will hardly ever be completed. One more for the list waiting for the developer to return... At least it's been a great journey so far, if the project ever comes back, I hope the developer can do what he dreamed of for the game.

The game fails at the beginning, I think some things happen very abruptly and even confusingly in certain parts, but as it progresses the game takes shape and then starts to follow a more concise path, the characters have their motivations, the girls They are wonderful, and you come to like each one of them. Unfortunately, the developer had to stop the project to focus on his work, it's understandable, but it's still sad, especially for those who had supported the project for so many years and dreamed of seeing the game completed, in addition to Dev having planned a redesign of the game and another from the same universe, I imagine it would be very difficult to focus on so many projects and maintain a social life, anyway, maybe if the project comes back one day I'll give it a higher rating but for now that's it. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

The game would be "just okay" if it was actually finished, and even after waiting a few months for major patches, it's still... missing massively important parts of the plot, to the point the entire sequence before the ending is basically without dialogue.

It really feels like the game pretends there's way more going on then there actually is, since all the worldbuilding and terminal entries almost always do absolutely nothing for the player besides add some extremely insignificant lore dumps for the world.

I do however have hope that once the level editor is out, that there will be a lot more actually enjoyable bits of (community made) content, considering I had more fun on a random map-pack somebody made with the level editor for the Earth level demo, then I did for almost the entire "soft release" version of the game. As well as a few other map-packs, but the level editor was blocked behind a 60$(?) patreon tier last I knew, but will be free.... eventually.

Also the dev seems to hide a bunch of secrets in the game, has dozens of endings, etc, all to the game for worldbuilding I suppose, but it's all just more walls of text in the end that functionally do and change almost nothing. There are far more entertaining ways to add that in then pure text dumps hidden away.

The game probably would've been better had it not been an h-game at all, but I suppose they wouldn't of gotten as much attention if it wasn't.
Oh well.

Honestly, this has to be one of my favs. Fantastic art, interesting world and good writing. Yeah progress might not have been the fastest, but I feel like it's accelerated somewhat.

Eryn and the mc make for an amazing couple as well

He was doing sooooo good then the remake happend and now we have to wait prob 1.5 - 2 years intill we will get new content. i think most can agree that the grapic was good but its the story that are carrying !!!

GGs see you in 2 years

My honest rating would actually be a 3.5, but since F95 doesn't allow that, I can either round up or down. I decided to round up because the positives generally outweigh the negatives.

On the positive side, this hits my mind control fetish and choices are frequent and matter a great deal as to the way the story goes. My favorite aspect of visual novels is making choices to affect a story and I always try to make it clear to devs that I don't need sandboxes and minigames. This gives me what I want from a visual novel. There are a lot of different routes you can go down. Some end abruptly, but some are really well fleshed out.

On the negative end, the art is unappealing at best and ugly at worst. I have yet to experience a game that perfectly combines my mind control fetish, good art, and a good story. Usually one of the three is always missing. In this case, it's the art. Several of the girls are just straight up ugly.

On the whole, a pretty good story, even if not perfect. Worth it if you're a fan of games with mind control like me, or if you're not like me and you enjoy the more eccentric art styles that sometimes pop up in VNs. If you don't go for either of those things though, I can't imagine it'd be worth it to play.

Usually I do not review games at early stage of development. In this case the situation is different – the game has been tagged as abandoned (by the dev) and there is no reason to wait for more content. Which is a pity, I should say from the beginning.

The artwork is original and interesting, though its quality is not always great, especially because of the resolution. I like the views of Italian cities – it’s not that often that in the games we can see views we can recognize. It’s fresh and nice. The strongest side of the game is – or should be – the plot. The story’s point of departure comes from real life problems and the possible corruption of Laura is believable. I like slow burn games and this is (would be) certainly one of such instances. My problem is with in-game choices: they suggest various paths for the FMC but at the current – and unfortunately final – stage of development they are practically meaningless.

The writing is better than ok, though one may find some typing errors and mistakes (like ‘his’ instead of ‘her’ or ‘she’/’her’ when talking about an actor). By the way – the Latin expression is ‘alea iacta est’ and not ‘alea jacta est’ (it’s funny I can make such remarks about a porn game… I would never expect that. Though I should correct myself: it seems more an erotic game than a porn one).

It is obvious for me that the inspiration for the game comes from the Italian movie ‘Una moglie bellisima’ (A Beautiful Wife, 2007) with Laura Torrisi. Even the first name speaks for itself… To make it clear: I do not blame the dev for it. Just opposite, it would be interesting to see various paths or options and compare them to the movie. It’s a pity we won’t see them. But if you are interested, you can watch the movie and check what happened to Laura (or the character she played) in this flick.

I have almost forgotten to explain the rating. The game has a lot of potential and in a finished or more advanced version would easily earn a perfect five. But here we deal rather with a promise of a good game than with a ‘full experience’ – and I am talking about sex scenes and decisions, for instance. On the other hand, I had fun, anyway. More fun than with some finished games. So – the final verdict is ‘four’.

one of the most fun sidescrollers I've played since hollowknight/shantae, the gameplay alone makes this worth it, the fact the fanservice is S tier is just the cherry on top, takes a while to get all the skills that make comboing feel insane but it's worth it, the boss was also very fun and challenging, kinda wish I got double jump before fighting him rather than as a reward for beating him cause it'd have made the fight much easier. I also would have liked a spike attack at times when I am bouncing on top of opponents but that plus wall jump are both likely future power ups. I genuinely can't praise this game enough.

Unbelievably good render quality. The attention to detail is frankly shocking and was amazing to see. Don't usually like 3dcg games, but this one was something else entirely. Voice acting was very high quality as well.
Only shortfall was the amount of scenes, but there is still a solid amount.

This is for version 0.32.

I leave this rating with the magical word of "potential" and my hope that it does not get abandoned or scope creeped like so many other HTML games.

Story: It's what it says on the label. You play as a woman that works for the FBI, the deal being that they're investigating crimes that hack the brain tech thing people have in order to control them and the like. It's written fairly well, scenes are short and to the point - enough flavor to not be dry, but without 15 pages of exposition as some games of this genre try to do.

Content and Pacing: The reason I knocked a star off, is honestly it's going a bit too fast. It starts off pretty good, some hypno/hacking to make you more of an exhibitionist and stop wearing underwear, and wear some more revealing clothing. Then the next one is reducing your resistance to further hypno. And then before we even get to wanting to do a blowjob or anything, we have taking a magical pill that turns her into a bimbo and gets more effective the more she cums as she gets fucked in the club bathroom. Then after that she goes for another session and gets a second personality implanted in her that will wake up when given a command word to make her obedient. Then, while still under the effects of the pill, we have some portal shenanigans as she starts to get fucked through getting tricked into wearing the magical portal clothing.

What's there is good, and pretty hot - but these are scenes I would expect to see somewhere later in like a mid-tier of the corruption. Not right out the gate. It's certainly better then the other extreme a lot of these games take where you click through pointless days for weeks before you get a single advancement of wanting to wear makeup now, but it could certainly be better paced.

I'd also note that this review is somewhat speculative, as it stands there's barely any content - but I am writing it based off the hope that the dev continues to work on it and produces a finished game that is similar to what we have so far.

excellent renders, character modeling, a nice story. bad point story is too short and there is no development btw mc and ladies. I would like too see development relationships. But u need to try this game even!!

Very shallow game.
You fish and unlock upgrades to your fishing gear, which can give you access to girls of various descriptions.
Catching the girls gives a "scene", which is really just a very short loop, and is overly pixellated so doesnt really have any detail at all.
Soundtrack is a banger though at least

The game is absolutely hot and wild, all the models are made with love I assure that! So why then 4 stars and I'm answering it's because this game has been always in alpha development stage since 2017 and seems like it's never be finished whatever patreons Steve gets
