Interesting storyline, great renders and engaging characters, would highly recommend!
I found this game originally on another gaming site and played some of the early released versions. I was happy when it released on Steam so that I could continue playing the game. Overall, while this is an adult game, there is a very interesting story that follows the happenings with the MC, the girls, and other friends/acquaintances. I like the graphics and the easy to use UI. The story appears to be not just a love story but a story of redemption for the main male character. I look forward to the next set of chapters for this game.
it has a good and some times funny story line, there is also a few good sex scenes for those you need them. It's well written and yes it takes a few hrs to complete it, plus you need to play more than once to fully enjoy all the full enjoyment.
Eigentlich ein gutes Spiel nach meinen Geschmack aber: Pro: Gute Grafik viele verschiedene Frauen Con: kurz vl so 1 Stunde sehr wenige Szenen ich glaube 4 oder 5 im ganzen Spiel wenig Animationen bei jeder Auswahl bekommt man Punkte - wenn man zuwenig hat schaltet man die Szene nicht frei - somit sieht man die Hälfte der Szenen garnicht... sowas geht garnicht finde ich... dafür kann man einen PDF Walktrough kaufen um 5 Euro!!! Gehts noch?? teurer gegenüber anderer solcher Spiele oral,vaginal kein anal
Brilliant!
Excellent visuals, but unfortunately updates are rare, the last one was almost a year ago.
5 hours in and I'm really enjoying the story and cast, Thanks DEV! Completed first playthrough thru Ep 11, Love this story and cast and cannot wait for the next update. Your final kind of points Ash's direction to come. Thanks!
Play for the plot not the nut 10/10
Can't wait for more! Characters and story are well written and enjoyable.
So far the story is well done. when i picked this up i 1/2 expected the usual "guy moves into house of horny women" staple of many AVN, but was pleasantly surprised to find there is a lot more to it then that. Choices you make matter as far as what scenes are unlocked and how relationships progress. Graphically it feels a little dated (more on that later) but is well done both render and animation wise. The characters and personalities are well done and there is layers to characters you seem to peel back as the game goes on. There is a lot of build up and teases, but the NSFW scenes that there are are very good and of good length. the only thing i really didn't like was the lack of a skip button. Since choices do matter you'll have to play through a few times to get everything unlocked, and a skip feature would make this fact a lot easier. The other thing is more of a concern then a dislike. i picked this game off of the new release list, but some of the special renders unlocked while playing are dated as far back as 2020. This explains the graphically dated feel, but does bring up the question of completion. if this avn was started in 2020, six years later we're what feels about 1/2 way through the story. at this rate it would be completed sometime after 2030? Hopefully i'm wrong, but it seems like it will be a long time between updates or it will come in many small episodes.
