I really need to put Dharker studio on blacklist. The game is extremely short (probably 1 to 2 hours for a run) There is no gameplay, I thought we would at least have to make the brews (yeah, weird thing to expect for a game with such a name), but no, it's your run-of-the-mill VN with 2 choices from time to time which doesn't really have an impact. The writing... sucks, big time. Sometimes thoughts are indeed thoughts, sometimes (most of the time), we have the name tag, implying those are not thoughts but talks. And sometimes, the name tag isn't even the correct one. Narration is almost inexistent (not really an issue usually), but when it does exist, it constantly switches between first and second-person points of view. There is no variety in soundtracks. Usually, games like these would have some generic tracks and at least one theme by characters. I think I heard two or three tracks. All very high-pitched short loops which made them extremely annoying. I had to put the music volume to 0. Ah, no, my bad, I put the SOUND volume to 0, because the SOUND volume controls the music while the MUSIC volume controls the sound... Ok, it's a VN, so as long as it runs without crashing it's ok? Nope, freaking test your games, it's a short VN, you made it, is it that hard to proofread it and correct the bugs and inconsistencies?

Were they originally gonna make this game longer but suddenly ran out of budget? In the weeks leading up to the release date they kept posting images on Twitter to tease us about this game. One of them had Selene, Carolyn, and Caitlyn in bed together but then I get the actual game and that never happens. Also the story itself teased at stuff the main character was planning to do but the game was over when we essentially got ONE thing done. The hell man?
I play for touching story and immersive gameplay. You play for bobas.

Disappointingly short - it took me less than an hour and a half to play through the game and complete the entire gallery, and it feels like it should be the prologue to a much larger game. And that's really unfortunate, because that larger game actually sounded exciting and interesting. The artwork is nice, but not worth paying full price. Might be worth buying on sale for a buck or two.
If the developer would add three times the content, then the game would be worth the current price of $7.99 As I consider the game overpriced for the current amount of content, I cannot recommend its purchase.
-The original developer had a breakdown and passed the project on to Dharker Studios. I like most of Dharker Studios Works but... Dkarker Studious dropped all planned features and turned it into a regular VN because that's what they know best. I've had the game on my wishlist for sometime didn't know about that. Tell after I got the game and played it. -Game was short like an hour -Dharker Studios characters crossover into the story.
Recomendo
Another depressing game. It's... fine. I mean, it's a VN - so it's not like there's really any gameplay to damn or redeem it. The art is good, the characters are pretty... but the MC is going to this town to set up a hub for her to explore the wilderness... but the game ends as soon as you buy your house in town (which you do before even setting foot in the wilderness). You're paying for a full-price HVN for what is essentially only the prologue chapter. I was actually thinking about giving this a 3, but the more I think about it, the more this purchase actually pisses me off - everything about this game conspires to make it feel like a scam, which is a damn pity as it actually had the potential to be really good. 1/10
[i]I'll set dislike because of busted price tag, but this game is deeply mediocre.[/i] The story feels dull, because its only purpose is to glue together h-scenes, which I do not find enough [i]exiting[/i], it is, because they are too short, even if the textual quality is good... there is 7 of them, however better would be having 2 long ones. And to actually get them you need to fail potion brewing... 4 times, makes sense from story long term perspective. But not to worry, because it is short, even considering 2 global routes. Language is a bit broken, however even so sentence structures are reasonably advanced. Yet the work with subtitles / text are horrible: - Names are not in colour, c'mon just do it, it will be so much more convenient for the player, not only that, but with scenes with 2 unknown characters, where both are named "? ? ?", it is impossible to understand who is speaking. - Protagonist thoughts are written in the same style as her speech lines, I can understand what is what, though make them in colour, or in italic, or hide speaker's name. There is 3 (three) musical tracks in the game, it is short, yes, but these music are free, I believe; add as much as you want, you slackers. Background are awesome, and especially lightning. Only the fact that characters have one spite w/o facial expressions. 8th screenshot on the store page, where girl is drinking potion, it is 2 minute scene, but this CG has 3 variations, what the hell, production value struck in the head? Also it is super anatomical correct, and looks like has been drawn from 3d model. Because other arts have bad anatomy at least in some proportion. But my problem will be that [b][i]every[/i][/b] girl has insanely huge rack... a lot bigger from what I will call comfortable. Overall the main problem looks like the budget planning gone to hell, so in assets there is map of the wilderness... but is it used somewhere in the game? There is like 20 points of interest. What the f%ck with production quality? Dharker, you've published 63 games at the moment, and as I know there are good ones, which makes everything even more confusing. Still this game feels super rough, and also regional prices are completely busted, in dollars this game does not worth its 8 bucks... rather one.
[h1]보1지 보여줌. 꼭1지 보여줌. 레즈비언 보빔게임. CG는 잘 그렸는데 너무 비싸서 가성비가 안좋음[/h1] CG디테일만큼은 아주 좋음. 이 분야에서 아주 유명하신 분이 그려서 CG의 품질은 매우 좋다. 특히 엔딩에서 여자끼리 보1지끼리 키스하고 비비는 장면은 이 분을 따라올 수 있는 사람이 많지 않음. 문제는 가격을 왜 이렇게 높게 책정했냐는것. 정가인 8500원에 이거 사는건 미친짓임. 내가 이걸 4670원(45%세일)에 샀는데 돈이 너무 아까울 정도였다. CG자체는 잘 그렸지만 게임이 너무 짧다. 성우의 신음소리 조차 없고 그냥 비쥬얼노벨에 선택지만 잔뜩 나오고 CG보여주고 끝나는데... 그냥 스킵 해버리면 1~2분안에 엔딩보는게 가능하더라. 너무 짧아! 너무 돈 아까워! 그 흔한 도전과제조차 없고 수록된 CG가 스탠딩CG포함 총합 50장정도도 안되는 게임에 차마 리뷰상 추천하는건 불가능함. [h1]CG때문에 사겠다면 뭐라 말 안하겠는데 정 사고 싶다면 할인 아주 쌔게할 때 고민해 볼 것.[/h1]
