I'm back! I played the entirety of this game, including the secret 7th route. I overall enjoyed the experience and don't regret purchasing it.
First, the positives: This game is HORNY and KINKY, which is something I've been missing a lot in dating sims!! I like that each character offers different kinks and dynamics. Also, I see you devs, making the characters give the player JOI. Very interactive.👀
**SPOILERS-ISH:** My favorites were Yuugo and Hugo. I've never played an R18 game with a dom character in an explicit dom/sub dynamic (other than BL). It's GREAT and I need more. I wish we'd gotten more scenes where Yuugo's angry and scolding/punishing us.
I enjoyed the banter between the characters and seeing us all grow closer as a group. While playing, I sent my friends so many screenshots of funny one-liners and convos the characters had.
The theme of loneliness resonated with me as well. It's a universal and timeless one. The mini monologue the MC gave at the end of the secret route gave me goosebumps.
Now, for the negatives: I know this is supposed to be a sexy wish-fulfillment game, but I didn't like how ALL of the guys were INSTANTLY all over the MC. I'm just not a fan, since this is still supposed to be a romance. If it were just a full-on sex game and nothing else, I don't think I'd have a problem with it. But, that's just my take, I'm more of a realistic slowburn kinda gal.
I also wasn't a fan of the dialogue options for the MC, they felt very same-y and I often didn't agree with any of them. Like (spoilers ahead), in Ansel's route, I didn't like how we had no choice but to pressure Ansel into quitting his job. To just drop everything and come adventuring with the MC. I know that he was miserable at his job and wanted a change of pace, but the way the dialogue was written it felt very forceful and irresponsible of the MC. (Spoilers end).
Anyway, again, I still really enjoyed this game and I need more of these characters (DLC, pleeease).
I saw on the dev's twitter that there's an all-female LI game in the works, which I'm really looking forward to.
So, I smooch you devs, thanks for making this game!
