As a feral pony dating sim, this gets +one star automatically.

The story is... well its pretty much just a fleshed out High Tail Hall, which is to say, it doesn't captalize on this being magical talking horses. Its just a generic modern day setting, cell phones, apps, a romantic island vacation. This could have just had humans in it, and it wouldn't change anything, which is the biggest shame cus my little pony thrives because of its unique setting, midnightmares is a cool idea cus of its unique setting. This just felt like Wild Manes but... a little better.

There are a lot of characters to pick from, though it doesn't seem to feel like that matters as much. This may be fleshed out in the future with more unique starts.

The character art is okay, somethings not quite right about it, and a lot of the sprites will overlap because of their shape and size (trust me with ponies I know how hard this is) but it does the job. 

The background art though, looks great but... somehtings off, misaligned walls, and some features that shouldn't exist.

The music is really nice. relaxing, chill, it fits.

The story for what is there, seeing as it is far from finished, seems ok, it is just... well its not really a pony story. I love my queer ponies, but this could just be queer humans, or queer furries without any real issue.

The minigames are ok... but we're not here for those. I think we're here for horny ponies.

Issues: the game randomly switches back to russian language. It also crashes at the start when you select certain optiosn + characters. This game should be tested more for each choice and combo of choices, it may also need to be ran through the 'check lint' function on renpy a few times.

final notes
This is worth checking out if you're hungry for more pony stories. It just needs a lot of work before it can be considered done, and tbh, its not worth 15 dollars as it is. Maybe 5? It has a long way to go before it gets to the covetted 15 dollars. 15 dollars is basically slay the princess kinda quality, and this is not that, not yet anyway.

Would reccomend keeping an eye on this, until it is done, once there, it should be a good product. Just takes time. So we will follow this dev and be excited to see how this improves later on.

Technically, this is a review for the paid chapter 1 version 1.0. not the demo here on itch.
