I had no idea what to expect going into this, but this game blew me away in the best ways possible. Seriously, incredibly, incredibly well done. The visuals, sound design, gameplay, everything in this game is so well made that it's genuinely refreshing.
The progression system is smooth, understandable and well-throttled. The player gets to make choices on what upgrades to do, what things to buy. It's so cool. However, I feel like there could be some clarification on certain things. Most notably:
What's the difference of a relationship status being too low, and her being "suspicious"? It's worded like they're two separate things, especially with the colouring choices on the text, but it seems like they're one and the same. If not, there should be clarification on what to do during the night to "be more careful". I assume it's putting her clothes back on, but this was never explicitly explained.
Secondly, how do you control the shutter noise of the camera panning during the night scene? It seems to either be a bug, or unclear on what setting controls it. Setting the UI and Effects sliders to low did not work, but I was able to go around it by making the game 10% in my Windows volume mixer, but that should not be the way it is.
Thirdly, it's not explained how you can get her clothes off during the doggy position, and that seems to be limited overall. One of the screenshots for this game has her nude in that position, but from my testing it doesn't seem to be possible. You can get her into that position if the scene starts with her on her stomach, but you cannot fully undress her. Another bug, intentional, or not well explained?
But I mean, overall, this is really phenomenal. The sound design adds a very nice level of tension, like some weird twist on FNAF, and the gameplay loop is simple yet varied enough that it never feels like a chore, and the well crafted upgrade system makes each night worth it.
I also really love the way the story works. Most of the stuff in the game is explained away in a hacky way, but from the gameplay perspective it makes perfect sense. From the repeating days, to the character development. I mean, of course there's just some things that really don't make sense in a realistic sense. Like, who could sleep through all of that right? But when you're playing the game, you don't think about it at all. It's only with post nut clarity that I'm even able to think of it.
Also the art, oh boy. So simple, yet so effective. The animations are well done, as well. Some serious work went into this, and I for one do appreciate it. If I had a stable income, this would be one of the few games I would gladly support monetarily too.
Just in essence, keep doing what you're doing. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with the game, and in fact it exceeds in many areas it doesn't need to. I'm sure there's a lot more I could talk about, but for the purposes of this small review and font size, I'm going to leave it at that. If you have further questions for me, then contact me on Discord (wibiz9000). But I mean, I think you got the gist. I love this game, and I love you for making it.
