This one should be called 'Legend of Coosey Cafe: The Spankening'
I mean, this is a spanking simulator at heart, really.
I aint gonna kink shame. But I do have some thoughts. Everyone's a critic, eh, as they say.
Not sure how I feel about this one, most of the people in the harem, are people who, by law, would be classed as vulnerable persons, and youth at risk, in my country... and a whole team of Rachels, some with weapons and full law enforcement powers, would be swarming the Cafe in jiffy, once anyone learnt of the harem I was building out of such people. At least in so far as they would investigate the situation at the bare minimum just to make sure there was no significant exploitation. Even as adults at 18, since they are all still school girls. Additionally, Allison and Misaki are wholly questionable, ethically speaking too. IDK that niggles me, even worse than forced fantasy play, incest play, and other dark, taboo, kinks in these kinds of games. Thats cultural, I am not sure this would be the case in the devs world. I can sit on that I guess.
But then if I do, what do I have? I aint gonna kinky shame... but the spanking... man oh man.. the spanking. Spanking Simulator 1.0 would be another appropriate name for this one. And BOY is it a SLOW BURN. I do NOT mind the story, aside from serious questions about the ethics of the MC seemingly exploiting the vulnerable. I got in to it. To a degree. The whole Pseudo Aristocracy thing. The Machiavellian nonsense which comes with it. I enjoyed seeing SOME depth to the characters, the girls anyway. Almost cared for Catherine.. the first time in an AVN I ever have, by the time we get the full picture of her circumstances. But MAN OH MAN, the game is pretty long already.. nothing wrong with that, I love it... but ultimately, for all that effort.. sure you get some oral play, some heavy petting, some digital play both ways... and a WHOLE LOT of spanking.. but you actually only get your end in, what, five times? Thrice with the same girl (though I do give kudos to the devs for one of them being in a semi-public place, and one wholly public).
Hours in, and you still aint gotten a taste of even one of the THREE redheads, for example, you are seducing in to your harem. OK, we can assume one might be hard to conquer, because she is just trying to please her sister... but by the end... the shortest surrendered everything else, why not that? And that sister? She is REALLY gaming the MC huh? Everything she does, is done for her own goals.. and not once, has the actual honey laid out, to catch the MC better than vinegar, been tasted, that honey pot, still untaken, untamed, and unbroken, and owned.
Also Misaki is going to cross all boundaries of the educators ethics, and surrender so wholly to the MC anyway, she should have been full clapped by then too, surely?
AVNs need to strike the right balance between the A and the N. They need the Novel's narrative, and to have some depth, and cool story, something fun, or funny, or deep, or even just interesting... but they ALSO need well paced, long, well blocked, well animated and 'shot', multi-phase A scenes that are on par with the story part, if they want to impress... because quality demands quality.
I feel this one, once you move beyond some 'Foreplay'...and yeah.. Oral is foreplay to this gamer.... and petting, toys, and promises... this one delivers... perhaps slightly less A quality, scene wise, and too little of them... to match the level of the story.
I think this game has potential.. if it will be as long again, or longer, when finished, than what we have thus far, there is time to fix things... but they need fixing. There needs to be MORE hardcore Adult scenes... full...s*x.. not just messing about, and they need to be done in a way which really lets the eye candy element come to the fore. Our Kitty in the shower, for example, was a scene which would be classed as 'Softcore' were it film, by most censors around the world. Getting further, faster, and more explicitly with girls is necessary for the people like me, who play these games for the A above the VN elements, to stick around and not get bored.
TBH, right now, this is like, maybe a 6/10.
I gave it a 3 star rating.
But I AM looking forwards to this continuing, seeing where it goes.
