Haley's story

The beginning of Haley’s Story was very well done and had me hooked quickly. I really like how the developer handled relationships both between the main character and Sandra as well as them and Haley. During the middle of the game it got a bit slow though and the end left a lot of questions as well as loose ends. I found your choices started to get slim and I wasn’t always liking how things were handled with the story from the middle onward. The game opens up avenues with other female characters and then shuts them down or forgets about them with little reason. It introduces backstory for Haley but then just drops it with no resolution. It introduces a FWB character that gets shut down. It introduces your boss who you can have an affair with but she drops off never to be seen again. It introduces a dom/sub aspect to your relationship with Haley ever so briefly but never actually uses it and forgets about it. The one thing that people online complain about that I didn’t care much about was the fact that originally Haley and the main character are siblings where in the final game it was reworked to friends that grew up in the same house, pretty much adopted siblings if you want, although that term is never used. The lack of blood relation means that there is no taboo and no reason to hide their relationship with each other as well as no reason for others to be shocked. As I said though, I didn’t mind much. The models were great as was the object detail. The music was decent but got a bit repetitive. The lewd scenes were fairly good although they get a bit sparse near the end. The animations were decent but not the best I have seen although far from the worst. I found it a bit strange how during dialogue everyone had a picture of their character on the left but the main character who just has a black silhouette. I could understand if we had customized their appearance but we can’t do that so I’m not sure why there was no picture for them. I played Haley’s Story on Linux. It never crashed. I noticed three spelling errors which for a game this length isn’t a huge deal. You can save whenever you want and there are fifty four save slots. Alt-tab didn’t work.

I really enjoyed the banter between the main character and Haley and I found Sandra to be a fantastic love interest. I just feel the game had more to give and explore than it ended up doing. I finished the game in six hours and four minutes and paid $14.11 CAD for it. The value was great for the quality and length.

Really long and barely any sexy stuff. It also ends really abruptly.

Too much wrong here. Plot lines that just drop. It seems to drag on without moving closer to a conclusion, until suddenly it ends. The main plot has a hole big enough to drive a truck through.

Die Story ist bis auf einige wenige Höhepunkte nichts besonderes, die Charaktere solides Mittelmaß. Schön gezeichnete Mädels. Witzig gemacht.

Однозначно стоит вашего внимания. Контент 18+ на троечку (слабую такую троечку), но длинный и интересный сюжет, с вариативностью прохождения с лихвой это компенсирует. Отсутствие русской локализации не мешает - текст простой, без изысков, смысл происходящего понятен. Объективно одна из лучших игр данного жанра.

Animation feels a bit downgrade at some parts while an upgrade in a few compared to the last release. The choices are mostly simple, but comparatively has more variations and endings. For the price, it is decently long and I enjoyed for it being slice of life themed. Looking forward to more from the developer. PS - I don't like the MC one bit more I'm disgusted by him as a character and I'd puke if he was real, the entire story it really feels like you are a third wheeler looking at someone else's life and giving minute directions to how the story can be carved but you don't really have any real control.

played the game and it feels real incomplete , several characters should have additional scences plus plot elements .

I have to confess that I am a supporter of likesblondes. The writing is good-- there are a couple of misspellings and grammar narfs; but who cares with a VN that holds your attention for a long time. And them ladies is nice. Dr. Ruth would approve (before your time, never mind). I laughed, I cried-- good story and the renders are great. The fact that I bought this VN after having already supported speaks volumes: either that I am a fool to drop more cash for something I already had or I really like this work and want to support it any way I can-- because it's that good. Lotsa VN trash out there to dig through to find a gem, but this is one. Ganx, Twajjo
