I truly hope this game gains more notoriety. I have played a lot of erotic visual novels and am a fan of ren'py as an engine.
tl.dr: This is a great game with outstanding story and characters. If you are expecting a barrage of sex scenes then you might be out of luck, but if you are looking for a slow burner with enjoyable storie and lots of well made Monster Girl and Fantasy aspects then please support this game.
Gameplay: While it is true it is a Visual novel without much "game" aspects. I feel that is no problem at all here. While it is a little sad to see the other features diminished the story and characters easily make up for that.
Story: This is where the Game truly shines. When I started the game I was prepared to look past generic characters or not so great story but instead the game blew me away with the obvious care put into both story and characters. I don't want to get into every character because that would take too long and also might take away from getting to know them but some of my favourite are:
An actual, non fetishized and instead used as a threat, Yandere who genuinly disturbed me and who is a real threat throughout the story.
A duo of ridiciously cute goblins who use some stereotypes of goblins while also subverting others to make them rounded characters for all you goblin lovers out there.
A redheaded and redblooded Irish girl with an acual Gaelic name (Bonus for me since I studied the language a little :D).
And finally a main character who neither comes across as a creep nor pathetic but instead as a likable and dependable guy who was simply caught in a bad place.
Going from story the game is one of the best erotic games I played period and one where I would play and read it regardless of the sexual content, even though the sexual content fits perfectly into the narrative and feeling of the story.
Animation and Art: The models are great. They look unique and not lik ethe usual stereotypic models you see in some other ren'py games. The monster girls are also made with care and are probably the best nonhuman characters I've ever seen in a pen'py game. There aren't that many animations yet, but what is there is high quality and very enjoyable.
So definitly play this game and consider supporting it if you have the chance.
