Raven rated Nothing is Forever

Raven rated a game 3 years ago
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.

I really like this game. I think the mechanics and way to progress through various different routes is very cleverly implemented. There is a lot of care and work put into this. From music choices, to aesthetics of transitions and scenes, to gameplay, its all very well executed. The art/character design is both beautiful and odd, mostly because of a strange design choice of heavy lines/accents onto the bodies, sometimes they work well to emphasize, sometimes they are just kind of distracting and not pretty to look at. 

I like how this game kinda took different kinds of fetishes/kinks and chose to implement a way for you to know exactly what you're getting into and using a "buy-in" system to go for things that most interest you. I do kinda wonder/think there might be a problem amassing all the points you need to see everything in a single category, but the game is still in development, so its too early to decide if it will work well or not. 

Some of the characters pissed me off, which I think is a great sign of good writing, especially since there was characters I quite enjoy and like as well. They feel like people with their own goals and flaws and that makes the dynamic story interesting. 

There is quite a few typos through the game, but I didn't notice anything super bad in that it is broken language or anything like, for the most part its clean and well done. 

The things that keep me from giving this 5/5 stars, is that I am unsure how the point system will work in the future, and the other part is how the story is going to keep moving forward with the mental illness and social media messages. It's interesting and so far well written, but its a very thin line to walk across and its not something that people might appreciate in a dating sim/sex novel, at some points it feels like its trying too hard to get a message/point across which...for now I'm wary to see how it will go. The story has both humor and dark elements, I don't know which side is going to prevail or if that's something that will be up to the player in the end as well. Time will tell. Solid game in my opinion, I'll keep up with this and see how things look next release, I may update this review and choose to support the game even further moving forward.


Edit: Very good game, characters leave a strong impression. Ones I didn't care for, I'm liking more. Ones I liked I have kinda changed my mind on, thing is its all really well written and the characters are truly themselves. The points issue is a non-issue and I can easily say this is a 5/5 game
