I absolutely love this game. When the dude at the pool died I almost died myself from laughter
TL:DR; First time reviewing a game, I love it, it's funny, it plays like a daydream, it's awesome.
Okay, so I'm caught up now, and you definitely didn't ask for it but I'm kinda compelled to leave a review. I don't really do these (mainly because I'm pretty likely not to get a response from the dev, but also I'm aware that this is THEIR and YOUR projects, not mine. Definitely inspired to make these though)
So basically, I want to hit up the semi-rough beginning, the wonderful plot that the current model is left on (no spoilers), and just my general opinion of the game. Again, you didn't ask for this, obviously you'll just do you regardless of my opinion.
The rough start! In all actuality, it wasn't too tough to power through considering some other VN's. I think it's pretty evident that the initial character progression between you and the potential romance partners skyrockets really fast. It really seems like in just a few days they've come to term with the immorality of it and don't care. I know not a lot of people are fans of a slow buildup, so maybe I'm in the wrong there. I think it would be nicer to get a more solid foundation and feeling between all the characters.
The general plotline and progression after the antagonist has been introduced, by contrast, I think is wonderful. It's your token story of conspiracy, imagination, and demons. It hits all the right spots to remind the players of that story that they used to think of in middle school, but without the cringe. It's the fairy tale that pretty much every guy who plays 18+ visual novels thinks of. On an unrelated note, a lot of things totally just became clear about me.
After everyone comes to terms with themselves, it becomes evident how much fun you've had writing the story. Fun! It's so charming and exciting, with tons of humor and plays like a wonderful fantasy that you put to paper. I'm not sure how long you've thought about this, or how long you've spent on this particular story but it's definitely something I can feel the enjoyment of creating, even as a player. The jokes and background scenes and recurring gag characters actually had me laughing out loud while I play porn games alone in the dark. The animations and designs are definitely cleaner than most games, and I've thoroughly enjoyed playing this game and really look forward to more.
All in all, this is one of the few games where is I was caught playing I would actively try and defend myself vice hide in a hole and wonder exactly where in life I disappointed my father. It's a hilarious game, love the fun story, love the characters, and am really excited to see what's to come. It's a wonderful game, honestly 9/10!
That was a wonderful review Dtheweeb, I appreciate it very much 🧡🧡🧡
It means a lot to me seeing how the story, the humor, or the characters are enjoyed by you the players. I even agree with the "flaws" you mention!
So thanks again buddy, I can assure you that I'm indeed having so much fun writing the story, and I hope to continue doing so for a long time, with more games and more adventures!
