I am obsessed with this game. Despite its clear early-stages of development, it really captured me! I hadn't ever really been aware of W.I.T.C.H. until I saw this game but having played it I am now very interested in both the show and the graphic novel and plan to check them out.
I have a lot to say about this game, both praise and criticism. In terms of praise, I think the standout is the art and aesthetic. I normally don't find characters based on cartoons engaged in sex acts to be enjoyable but something about the art direction in this game really hit it for me. I was able to thoroughly enjoy nearly every scene immensely, no matter the position or angle, which is rare for me. The character designs are perfect, without resorting to oversized breasts or highly unrealistic body proportions, and the outfits are fantastic.
The scene ideas are great, with many sexy scenarios to enjoy throughout. It's a good variety without resorting to wild fetishes, which I appreciate. There are many situations which are very hot, and I was never bored or felt like the game was repetitive despite the large number of scenes.
I also really like the potential of this game. There's a lot that can be done with this premise which I find fascinating. The idea of befriending and earning the girls' trust while all the while being their enemy, thinking about them as only sex symbols, and plotting to weaken them through sex, is an amazingly enticing premise and I'm incredibly curious to see where it leads. There's still clearly a lot to be done, but from just this much I have to say I'm impressed so far.
In terms of criticism, there's a lot to cover. I understand, however, that this is a work in progress and many of these issues will likely be corrected as the game is further produced. First and foremost is the English translation. It's really rough and detracts from the experience quite a bit. I am confident this will be rectified however as the newer scenes were much better translated.
Second is the pacing. While I appreciate getting to NSFW scenes early into the game, as opposed to after a few hours like in others of this type, I can't help but feel like they happen a little *too* quickly. We don't really get a chance to enjoy the characters and their interactions before we're already getting to the sex. This could be because I'm unfamiliar with the W.I.T.C.H. property and might improve after I have the context for the characters that way, but I feel like the game could still benefit from some additional character fluff and build-up.
On the subject of pacing, the sex scenes are far too short. While they look *FANTASTIC* the actual dialogue during them is so quick that just as I'm starting to get into them it's over. Some of them have amazing scenarios such as Irma's public blowjob in the bookstore, but they are too lacking of substance. Perhaps some more lines describing what the girl is doing, how it feels, and some more conversation during the acts. The art is great but it shouldn't be completely relied upon to carry the sex scenes. Again, pacing is a bit rushed overall.
Third is a lack of agency. This could, again, be because it is still early in development, but as it is now, the game doesn't really have any meaningful choices or paths to follow. I really liked the initial stuff earning the trust of the girls, but then the dynamic changes really quickly (again, pacing) to blackmail. While this is interesting and I enjoyed it, having different options to take with the different girls would be nice instead of it always resulting in revealing your true self or blackmail. Being able to manipulate/corrupt them, or date them with ulterior motives would add an interesting dynamic and more replayability to the game.
Overall, I think with more time and additions these problems will be solved. I see a great deal of potential for this game, and I'm really looking forward to its continued production. I know it'll likely be a year or two before it starts to near completion and I can't wait to see what it turns into. In the meantime, I'll be working my way through the W.I.T.C.H. series' and checking the game's updates regularly.
