Lovely Overseer - Dating Sim

[i]Note: I received a copy of this game through Curator Connect for my curator list, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32080131/]Games for Hopeless Romantics[/url].[/i] I occasionally receive games that I wouldn't be interested in trying out on my own volition. That isn't necessarily a slight on those games; it's just that I have my own tastes and not every game in the world falls under them. This is one of those. I'm not into furries, and generally speaking I'm less interested in "male protagonist pursues female LIs only" than other types of romance stories. But some games have surprised me, so I gave it a chance. Lovely Overseer is a hybrid between a visual novel and a dating sim--you pick activities to do each day (morning/afternoon/evening) which increase or decrease energy, fatigue, gold, and various stats, including love points for each of the main love interests which you have to raise in order to get a route's good ending. Not every activity will be available on every day or in every time period. The gameplay loop isn't very interesting, but I've played worse, and it's not difficult to get a good ending (especially if you use a guide). However, the "skip unread" toggle doesn't seem to work (it skips unread text even when unchecked). The art is by far the best thing about this game. As mentioned, I'm not into furries, but all the character designs here (including for the MC) are appealing, if very sexualized (not for the MC). The sprites and CGs are both animated, which...sometimes works for the sprites, and just looks very awkward in the CGs. A lot of times the characters just look like they're weirdly morphing rather than breathing or fidgeting, and of course you've got the classic "boobs moving of their own volition"-type animations here. Unfortunately, the writing--the backbone of a visual novel or VN hybrid--falls flat in nearly every way. The dialogue and narration are frequently stilted and unnatural, and there are some typos floating around; the text seems to have been written or translated by people who are not fully fluent in English. An editing pass by someone with idiomatic English fluency would have helped out a lot. Anything interesting about the story or characters is glossed over, not remotely done justice. Is this a dystopia? Presumably, since the government's rounding up young adults with "mana addiction" in order to forcibly reeducate them with the goal of sending them to the empire's military, but so little time is spent on any of the implications of that and the fact that you're complicit in it that it makes me wonder why bother with it in the first place. There are four potential love interests here (aside from a side character who doesn't really have her own route but you can end up with; her name's Kira and she's pretty cool, I liked her). Three of them are "problem students" who need specialized training from the MC Aster (wink wink, but also literally they do need your help). Lucy is sweet and timid, Lunette is hard-edged and hot-tempered, and Clarisse is cheerful and energetic. They're...fine. I guess Lucy was my favorite, but none of them are especially interesting. You spend time with them and give them gifts until they love you. Ho-hum. Not that I need a route to reinvent the wheel or anything, but when the story and setting are this weak and the characters are this cookie-cutter, there's not much to grab my attention (as someone who is not into the sexual stuff for its own sake). The route for Neoma, Aster's boss and the leader of the camp he works for, is the strangest. They were clearly going for a kind of femdom dubcon route where she is such an overbearing, controlling force in Aster's life that he falls in a twisted love with her. And like...the hints are there? But they really don't pull off that dynamic. At all. The problem is, the gameplay loop and mechanics for getting on Neoma's route aren't actually much different from getting on the other girls' routes, which acts to its detriment when the atmosphere her route is going for is so different from the vanilla main routes. It ends up in a weird sort of halfway between "regular ole generic love story" and "dark femdom" that doesn't work as either. There's too much baggage regarding Neoma mistreating both Aster and the students for it to be a good "regular relationship but she doms him in bed" route and Aster is given too much freedom and agency for it to be a good "evil witch breaks the mind of her subordinate" route. I can't imagine the Neoma route appealing to people looking for either of those. Overall, this definitely isn't something I can recommend for people who aren't specifically looking for scantily clad furry women, and even if that is what you're looking for, I feel like there are probably better sources of those out there.

Если вам нравятся дейтсимы и гетеросексуальная фурри тема, то рекомендую купить эту игру на скидках в 50%, в иных случаях лучше либо не покупайте вовсе либо ждите более серьёзных скидок. [hr][/hr] На одно полное прохождение одной героини с вчитываясь во все диалоги у вас уйдёт примерно 3 часа. И это будут относительно приятные 3 часа о которых вы не сильно то и пожалеете. После этого начнётся лютое затыкивание для прохождение оставшихся героинь. На полное прохождение у вас уйдёт примерно 6 часов. У нас появится возможность завести отношения аж с 5 девушками. Наверное каждый сможет найти себе по вкусу, но при этом полноценные 18+ сцены распределены очень странно. Их всего 8. Есть героиня без сцен вовсе, у 2 героинь она всего одна у одной 2 и у 5 их аж 3. Что является явным признаком того что игру в какой то момент забросили и доделали абы как. Так что если вам интересны именно 18+ сцены, то лучше найдите их в интернете и не тратьте своё время. Они того не стоят. Отдельным минусом хочу отметить отсутствие облачных сохранений из-за которого в случае если у вас потрутся сохранения вам придётся заново тратить 6 часов своей в жизни если вам захочется освежить воспоминания об игре и отсутствие системы достижений которая была бы хорошим дополнительным стимулом к 100% прохождению игры.

很好！希望以后能有中文字幕

Needless to say, the game is amazing from the storyline to the characters. S tier, folks, S tier. Btw, LUNETTE YOU'RE SO CUTE!!! ^w^ owowowowo EDIT: OK the game could need some archievements, like for unlock each girl's ending, Kira and maybe the secret ending found etc.

Fajna kreska. Historia fajnie rozwinięta i pociągnięta. Kto lubi furry powinna gra się spodobać. Gra na max dziesięć godzin.

good game good story

Honestly, the game is a bit too simple for my taste, but the visuals are great. 6/10

Um jogo tenebroso, é mais parecido com um livro do que um jogo em si. Pouquíssimas cenas e toneladas de texto, além de ser extremamente curto. Não vale o preço proposto nem de longe. NÃO RECOMENDO.

🚀🌟 Take a deep breath, fasten your seatbelt, and get ready for an otherworldly journey into the incredible world of "Lovely Overseer." I, Kiba Snowpaw, an Ice Wolf from an icy realm and a gaming veteran who's been bashing buttons and rolling D20s since the glorious '80s, am here to bring you a game review that's brimming with frolicking furriness, wicked humor, and cool-as-ice critique! #FurryGamer 🎮🐺 🌌 I recently emerged from an epic playthrough of "Lovely Overseer," and let me tell you: my fur was standing on end, the gameplay ignited my icy heart, and I'm ready to howl my praises and critiques from the mountain tops. Imagine yourself stepping into the gaming equivalent of a high-speed, magically enchanted dog-sled ride – it's a rush of cool air, snappy turns, and heart-pounding action. It's like Dragon Ball Z met Naruto in a furry world, then decided to jam on the brakes, kick up some dust, and toss in the complexity of Mass Effect romance options. It's a wild ride, to say the least. 🎢💫 Firstly, let's get frosty with the character dynamics. The developers clearly put a lot of love into the cast. Every character comes alive like a dancing flame against the ice – unique, colorful, and full of energy. Lucy, with her sudden cold shoulder, left me pawsitively flabbergasted in my first run. However, when I discovered that her icy demeanor was linked to my skill levels, I decided to take the icy plunge again, focusing on her preferred skills. Boy, did that turn the tide! The ending felt like a blast of sunshine on a winter's day. ☀️🐾 Now, let's talk about the world we find ourselves in. I was instantly drawn into the rich lore and captivating setting. But, let's face it, my cold nose could sniff out a few areas where more depth could be added. As an experienced gamer, I've seen my share of games that thrive on extensive world-building (yes, I'm looking at you, World of Warcraft). And while the plot and setting of "Lovely Overseer" are as solid as an ice castle, I felt a pang of longing for deeper exploration of this magical world. This brings me to the feature critique. As an arctic creature, I know that the devil's in the details, and "Lovely Overseer" could use a few more of those. I would have loved a customizable player name and a scene gallery in the main menu, akin to many other visual novels I've enjoyed over the years (like, anyone remembers Clannad?). I'm also howling for more engaging events around the school. Let's see more responsibility heaped onto our lieutenant's shoulders! Let's feel the burden of leadership! And for the love of all things furry, let's see more of Kira – my heart warms up just thinking about her. Yet, let's paws for a moment here. Despite my frosted critiques and suggestions, I believe "Lovely Overseer" is a remarkable entry in the furry VN game genre. The developers have packed this snowy ball of fun with an engaging cast, multiple paths, and choices that genuinely influence the narrative flow. It's a captivating experience that justifies the price tag, even for a frosty old wolf like me. I wholeheartedly recommend adding this icy gem to your game collection. ❄️💎 Let's hit the paws button here. If you've ever had your heartstrings tugged by a well-written character, if you've ever yearned for a story that feels like a breath of fresh arctic air, or if you're simply searching for an immersive game that offers plenty of replay value – you've found it in "Lovely Overseer." With a story that's as unpredictable as a blizzard, characters who radiate warmth and complexity, and a universe that's waiting to be explored, "Lovely Overseer" provides a flurry of reasons to jump in and lose yourself in this fascinating furry world. In the frosty light of my gaming den, "Lovely Overseer" shines bright. It's a visual novel that's got its claws deep into my gaming heart, and I can't wait to see what else the developers have in store for us. My final rating? A snowy 4 out of 5 stars - a true Arctic treasure. ❄️⭐ Until our next gaming adventure, this is Kiba Snowpaw, your furry gaming guide, signing off. Stay frosty, gamers! 🐺🎮 https://odysee.com/@TheDanishFurryGamer:c/Lovely-Overseer---Demo---_Linux_FVNG_Dating_Xmen_Steam_-(720p_25fps_H264-192kbit_AAC):8
