just thought i would drop a review/ stream of thoughts i had for the game here.
kinda unique in the sense that it's almost more of a visual novel movie/ show more than an interactive game and i think that's more of a plus than a down side honestly. it looks like there was a token effort at the start to make choices that really didn't matter before giving up those not too far in and i kind of appreciate that.
i generally like to experience everything games like these have to offer and i bounce between the various girls but in the more sandbox style ones the author can't always account for what you have seen yet so scenes with the various girls tend to be very isolated from each other with very little cross over. and the ones with choices tend to only effect if your going to miss content or not.
this style cuts out the nonsense of the choice system and the linear style allows the author to tie all the girls stories very closely together. of course this style also lives and dies on how well the author can tell their story and sell their characters cause that's all it's selling and i honestly think they did a fantastic job.
the main plot isn't gonna win any awards for how interesting it is but does a solid job being the frame work for the character interactions and porn. the characters i think are the biggest selling point here the introductions the characters have and how they get involved with the protagonist can feel a bit forced and odd like the "cat" girl getting into him by sitting in his lap and getting him hard and then she is just like "this is now my life goal".
but once they get established just watching them interact is just a joy to watch. all the girls feel unique both visually and in their personalities and just seeing them react to various events and changes in relationship status or clash/ make friends with each other is a lot of fun.
the tone is very slice of life with very little drama or danger and what little there is just shakes up the status quo more than anything. the split between the school life and work feels really odd like it's half adult life and half highschool life and if i were to guess the school was added to make the cast interact with characters they normally wouldn't interact with naturally.
i like the pacing quite a bit giving just enough time of romance fluff and everyday life for each girl while also keeping the plot going at a good pace. i actually find some of the most interesting thing about romance is how it affects their day to day life and interactions with other people and this game is loaded with that so it scratches that niche itch for me.
it's definitely highlighted in the description but i will add for emphasis this is a highly male dom fetish story. both in and out of the bedroom the male lead makes sure he is very in charge of every situation and in general will act how most dudes imagine their best self being. don't mistake the male dom for being super hard core bdsm stuff even if their is some of that cause the tone is actually extremely wholesome.
i actually think the male dom fetish is criminally under represented in this style of game so it's pretty refreshing to see. i can also see a lot of attention to detail from the author to try and make the girls more real looking by adding things like pores, some rough texture to the shaved pubes area and a bit of meat curtains on the vaginas. but i do think they go over board with the wrinkles/calluses on the knees and elbows cause i am twice their age and i still got smoother skin there than they do. it doesn't ruin it or anything but it's definitely noticeable.
overall it was a great experience and i highly recommend it to anyone reading this. i'm sad i'm all caught up and it will probably be more than a year till i see more as i let the updates stack. cudos to the author cause you did some great work here.
** just a quick edit to mention i do think the girl introduction/ getting more involved get much better from sarah onward. not sure if that is just the author getting better at writing or just having that established cast gives them more room to let the new ones breath for their introductions but i thought i would bring it up regardless.
