Man, this game is great.
It's the kind of game where you come for the porn, stay for the story... And the porn.
Genuinely, for a game made with the help of koikatsu, which notoriously tend to bring out cheap and low-quality games, this is several steps above anything else.
The characters are absolutely insanely amazing. The amount of personality in them is something you don't even see in your run-of-the-mill indie game. Goddesses's Whim really brings to me a new perspective of the kind of relationship you can create between the player and fictional characters.
This, of course, is heavily supported by the intimate scenes; I think the way you make the characters understand each other through both normal means and through sex really creates something that you couldn't replicate in other circumstances.
The story, in and of itself, isn't that special on a surface level.
Guy with a mediocre life gets ran over by a truck trying to save a girl... Gets isekai'd, blah blah blah.
But then, you start getting a few interesting details, here and there.
The worldbuilding is done thouroughly but in ways that don't appear to obvious.
A couple backstories - notably Ryoko and Akane's stories stuck to me the most so far - are starting to become genuinely intereting and well put together.
And altogether, it's just good. Way, way above anything i'd have ever expected to download from the itch.io nsfw tag.
And speaking of nsfw - let's talk about the porn scenes!
First of all, they're heavily helped by how well the characters are built.
And i'm not just talking about bodies here;
While yes there's a bit of everything for most people (FLAT IS JUSTICE I LOVE CHARLOTTE, MEDIUM IS PREMIUM I LOVE SAYORI)
, the fact that everyone is so unique truly helps to the overall experience.
Everyone experiences sex in truly different manners, and that makes every single scene absolutely holy to witness.
~~ Although, i do have a bit of criticism here, specifically about the text.
To put it simply, to me it's becoming redundant.
Every gal is very tight and holds MC's dick very hard.
I especially felt that with the very last scene of this update, Alice seemingly already having some sexual experience, and with all of her more motherly attributes, wouldn't it contribute to the experience for her to have more softness, for example? The kind of [pussy] you'd melt in, rather than same old same old?
(Sorry for my direct choice of words, i can't really find better words to express that.)
I hope we can have more variety in adjectives and horny writing in the future, it's be really amazing.
And as a last point, i want to add that HOLY SHIT THEY ARE ALL SO HUGGABLE.
Like really, for koikatsu chara designs, Ncrow - or you, if you are reading this! - has done an INSANE job with oh-so-many details, be it in their shape, body language, or even clothes. The details are pristine, and everyone is wearing clothes that make sense - which is harder to do than it looks like!!
I want to hug em.
Anywhos, i felt like writing this little commentary on here because i really appreciate your stuff.
An update every month for a one-manned project is utterly insane, don't overwork yourself!!
In the long run, even if the updates are small, that's okay as long as you stay healthy so you can manage to make this game what it can really be.
Thank you for making this game, i really hope this is one of the few indie projects that do end up going to completion. I'd be okay paying an actual entry price for this game the day it's done - say, on steam for exemple!
In the meantime, i'll try supporting you whenever i can, and i recommend anyone else reading this to do so as well.
