Hello! I completed a full playthrough of version 0.5.0, wanted to give my thoughts and hopefully constructive feedback. Thanks for making this game Loweki!
(note for others, there will be spoilers, though I'll try to avoid major things)
First of all, I enjoyed the game quite a bit, and I enjoyed interacting with the 3 main characters. I liked how the characters all felt quite different, but were all likable in their own ways.
1.) Interactions
While I did enjoy the new or unique interactions with the characters, I did get tired of the repeating dialog scenes. Maybe it's just the way I was playing the game, as I wasn't following the ( i ) hints super closely early on, but I kept seeing events such as the MC joking with Tori about renting a room dozens of times. It would maybe be nice that instead of repeating that same dialog, it would only show it once, then subsequent times would show a "you hung out and chatted with Tori for a bit" type message.
This is probably ironic for a person playing H games to complain about, but I was not a fan of the word "corruption" being used. It makes it seem like the MC is doing something against the will of the girls, but there wasn't an example of this in the game. The girls were all willing and eager to participate in the events, so "corruption' just seems like an odd word choice. It also seems weird to have separate stats for corruption and intimacy, when they could likely be the same number. Also, maybe it's just not in this build of the game, but is there any Exhibitionist content in the game? I see the stat for it, but I'm surprised Ami had a 0 in it, since she's so open minded about nudity.
Not sure how I did this, but I also noticed a bug where I initiated a handjob scene with Ami in the onsen, and the dialog said I keep coming back for more, even though it was the first sexual encounter I had seen in the game. I later saw a separate handjob scene that seemed like it was supposed to be the first sexual encounter, so maybe the variables got out of sync slightly on those events.
For the sleeping with girls events, perhaps this is planned, but it would be nice if those events varied slightly based on intimacy level. It seems odd that after sleeping in the same bed as Ami 40 times that she'd still just be "checking" on things in the morning, instead of initiating anything. Also, after the Tori sleepwalking events, I was hoping for more exciting things at night regarding the sleeping with Tori menu choices.
2.) Onsen management
I'm not sure if this is planned or not, but it would be nice to have content or events regarding the guests of the Onsen. The game seems to contradict itself by showing Tori at the front desk always saying she's busy working, but there's never any signs of a guest showing up. The Onsen is private for some reason, and the commons room is always empty even though guests are supposedly buying vending machine things constantly.
On that note, it seems weird that the main source of income is taking money out of a vending machine. Why not have Tori give you money at the end of each week based on all the guests staying at the Onsen? It would also be nice if the MC could do things to help the guests feel more comfortable, to earn more revenue.
3.) Other notes
Is there much point to the Spy Camera? I like to try and play the "nice guy" persona in these types of games, so I avoided buying the spy camera until there was nothing left to buy. I expected it to show views of the onsen or something pervy, but was surprised to see it only shows random scenes of Ami in the commons room.
It would be cool if you could do cosplay photo shoots with Tori and Ami together, or other photoshoots besides just cosplay, such as ones in the Onsen. There could also be an event where you take some tasteful photos of Tori or Ami in the Onsen to use in brochures or flyers about the onsen to bring in more guests and earn more revenue.
It would be neat if the characters from Lysia's lab would visit the Onsen at times, to use the Onsen or get a massage. On that note, you could give massages to Tori, Ami, or Lysia instead of just the tattooed girl.
Another suggestion, once intimacy is high enough, maybe a scene where you join Ami in the shower, instead of her kicking you out every time.
Anyway, overall I really enjoyed the game, and I'm looking forward to future updates. Keep em coming Loweki!
