Hi!
Thanks for the very detailed review! :D Yes, BH has to be somewhat linear, it's just not possible for a one man development "team" to get enough content in a short amount of time without people questioning the existence and also getting support while working full-time beside it... It's just not possible for me.
1) You really had me checking the leggings... but as far as I can tell, she is definitely wearing them. You look at her legs and they're quite bright, due to the sun shining on them, but they're there. Also Lucy and NTR?! Holy moly, that's the last I would think of, when thinking about Lucy. :D
2) Yes, the hidden clickables are kind of difficult, I agree, but they're not at random pixels, they have their points, if you manage to see something.
3) I totally feel it, would love to make it a 3d game, lol. But I have to make sacrifices, I could fill the game with lots and lots of minor details, but then people would even be less engaged since it's under the premise of an adult visual novel, so most people expect h-scenes and not random background events, unfortunately. Since those background events take time, it would take too long to build them beside the normal story.
I agree on the phone, I should make more use of it, I don't play to introduce a sandbox mode currently though.
For the pros, thanks! :D I try to get some chuckles out of the player while still maintaining a serious storyline.
