The quality of work showcased in the Christmas Special is outstanding. If the chapter 1 release lives up to the same level of quality or maybe even better this may be the greatest harem visual novel/game on itch.io. The models are cute, the animations are shockingly fluid and realistic, the characters though on first glance archetypical and derivative have plenty of moments to showcase little ways they connect with each other, play, and demonstrate depth. When I say depth I don't mean this should be study in any English class. No no no, what comes across is the creators care and attention for details and ability to weave serious drama with comedy and twinge of absurdity.
The H-scenes are paced out really well as well. I enjoy that some characters are more sexually open than others and each progress their relationship with you at their own pace, including the protag. He has some boundaries and doesn't f*** everything on the first given chance. He respects these girls and genuinely tries to balance his care for each of them. Which is why it's all the more heart wrenching when inevitably a girl feels alone and unseen. I can't believe this is free. I can't wait for more.
If I had one criticism it's that the h-scenes are very focused on male pleasure. Bro is always sticking it in dry. Some more foreplay on the protags part towards the women would be great. I think that's why I enjoyed Ari's Christmas scene so much as well as the couple times a girl would shudder during climax. Maybe some of the older more mature love interests could teach our man some killer techniques.
Keep up the hard work! I'm excited for the revamped management and conversation systems in the works. 12/10
