A downloadable game for Windows, Linux, and Android.

All credit where it is due. This VN is not your typical one where the author starts with good updates to hook you up and then, after starting a paetron they start getting ill, or somebody dies, or they move, or they get mental health issues and then the updates become short and much more spaced out, but the monthly fee stays the same and then they cancel the project to start another one and follow the same process. This is an ethical author who takes his game seriously and wants to tell a story instead of ripping off their patreons money, which is an amazing thing nowadays.

However, this story ican be problematic: Except one, all the possible LIs keep lusting over others during their routes. Nothing ever comes of it though, which is disappointing as well. Having your boyfriend lust over another guy all the time is uncomfortable enough to make you not quite enjoy the relationship, but since the game never explicitely goes through with anything or shows hot images of what seems to happen in the background (and sometimes even text,) it's not hot either, just uncomfortable. So this game sits in a very akward middle between NTR/Cucking/Poly/ENM and traditional monogamy. 

The problem is not that it is trying to please everybody. The problem is that it doesn't manage to do it, because if you want to see things like NTR/Cuck/Poli/ENM you get only text at best and nothing in terms of CGs or hot scenes between those hunks. If you just want a wholesome monogamous story with hot sex, there is no choice in which your love interest is only interested in you without you choosing to be a control freak and even then, these guys still have wandering eyes (and dicks.)

That said, I really enjoyed Darius' route, which was pleasantly focused on MC and him and he did not lust  over others as much as the others (particularly given his personality.) The worst sinners for me are Spencer, Dozer and Richard, which at points seem to be more into the other guy than into you, but instead of taking it to fruition and allowing us to get hot CGs with those storylines, we just got stuck with the awful feeling that the MC was a second plate for his LI, even with Spencer!

I like Chester's route as well, even if I am not as into him as the others, simply because as far as I remember, he is the only  LI who does not lust after anybody other than the MC. I also kind of enjoy Dwayne's because it seems like we might get to see actual GCs of him having sex with the hot Gorilla porn actor, the pool guy, or hopefully both. Maybe the MC either chooses to watch or join! We will see, because for now it has not gone anywhere either.

So while I appreciate the author's work being ethical, as well as the energy and effort they put into into it, I am sad that can't say that this is one of my favourite VNs, even though it has all  the ingredients, it lacks the spice. Hopefully, when they are done with the last routes, they will take the time to fix, wholesome monogamous paths and why not? Hot new CGs/choices where our LIs do the dirty with others instead of constantly talk about it. Less bark and more bite my furry friends!
