I probably should have been a bit more specific when I said "Choices don't really matter". What I mean was that the choices solely revolved around the potential relationships rather then the story (from what I played). Based on the comments the MC was making when he first reunited with the bully, it seemed like he wasn't really upset with her which confused and irritated me. I didn't want to forgive her but it felt like the game was telling and kind of forcing you to do so. Also, Emma invading you privacy by investigating you behind your back and then convincing the "Landlady" for them to live there for her own selfish reasons made me mad, not because of what she did, but how the MC reacted to it. It was like he was alright with her doing that. The game just kept throwing irritating scenario after irritating scenario at me, and considering I was playing to have fun and not just spend the entire playthrough angry, I decided to drop it. Like I mentioned before, I never beat the game or got too far to begin with so maybe it got better, but first impressions are everything and I got irritated enough to not care for what the future had.

Ok honest opinion here but story is kinda bad. I remember playing this game a year ago but couldn't remember why I dropped it. It took me about 10 minuets of playing to remind me why. The choices you make are irrelevant. It's not a choice based game, it's a story that, regardless of how you want it to go, forces you to take one path.
*slight spoilers ahead*
WHY I HATE THIS GAME
-Forces you to forgive your bully
-Forces you to accept your characters privacy being stepped on by Emma
-Choices don't really matter
To top it off, the MC just accepts everything he is told...like he is a robot rather than a human with emotions. Like who just forgives and forgets this crap.
Anyways, this is a story (or more specifically MC) you will either hate or love and I'm, unfortunately, am on the hating side.
p.s. -never finished the game so don't know if it actually gets good (which is why first impressions are EVERYTHING)
This game is pretty alright. The only problem I have so far is that the game makes you feel kind of...secondary? By that I mean you don't REALLY feel like the MC of the story, but instead more of a supporting role kind of thing. To elaborate all of the women in this story seem to be bi-sexual with a heavy leaning towards girls (wanting to fuck women over men). Every time you get anywhere with them it seems like they kinda force themselves to do anything with you while they are more than eager to do it with any and every woman they interact with. There are a lot of sexual innuendos towards you, but when talking about another girl they tend to straight up say they wanna fuck them. Point is you feel like a third-wheel and are only getting anything from them out of pity.
OK...so I think I'm gonna drop this game...decided to read through the comments and it seems like the third daughter (Rebecca) might be even worse than Lilly. I might be wrong here since I havent played too far into the game yet but it seems that she is manipulative and cunning which doesnt sit well with me considering her target for her schemes is her own family. So I'm gonna save myself the heartache here and just drop this one.
I havent played through the entirety of the current build yet but I must say the story so far is enjoyable. The only problem I have so far is with the step daughter Lilith (will explain below). Other than that great game.
*SPOILERS*
So to elaborate on why I have a problem with Lilly is that her reactions to Frank (you) is uncalled for and simply doesnt make any sense. From where the game starts you have been taking care of her for 12 years which is plenty of time to warm up to someone. You cannot blame her reactions on daddy issues or the like because, based on what I have seen so far, Frank has done everything he can to love and care for her yet she still lashes out at everything he does. She is overprotective of her stepsis (Abigail), Franks daughter who he has taken care of for literally all her life, against Frank, the man that has done everything that he can for her. What gets on my nerves even more is that Frank is still sympathetic with Lilly...WHY???? She, for some unreasonable reason (if that makes sense?), have not warmed up to Frank and the few times she has a, more or less, passive conversation with him is entirely because Abigail told her to...I mean really?
Anyways, thats all I really wanted to say about what I have experienced in the game so far and might update my review once I actually complete the current build.
So I'm not too far into the game but right off the bat you can tell that the person you play is a bad guy. There are very obvious hints at the very beginning that tells you that you are (like the not-so-subtle hints about you being a kidnapper) evil. Though what really confirms it is when you meet that blue skinned girl for the first time. I mean you find an unarmed girl shivering at your front door and the only way you are letting her stay is if she has sex with you? She was obviously against it but it was either that or she possibly freezes to death outside. The point is that you play as a villain and I regret buying the game before trying out the demo to see what was in store for me.
Don't let the 320 MB fool you...I have been playing this game for roughly 8 or so hours and I STILL haven't gotten to the end of the current build. The sex scenes are great; the story is great; the art is incredible. I'm absolutely loving this game so if your on the fence about it I suggest just giving it a try (it's free so why not!).
Gotta say I don't really enjoy this VN. The "landlady" is controlling and a bitch (imo) from beginning to wherever I left off. I started skipping parts of the game because I was hoping it would change at some point but didn't see any change...also considering this is a VN I thought there were going to be choices that you could make but there isn't, though I guess it was never stated that there was so I guess that's on me. Btw don't read this and think that the game is bad cause it's not, I just really don't like the personality of the "landlady" so I decided to move on...plus the game is free so just give it a try if you are having a hard time deciding if you wanna play or not.
Until it becomes public you will have to pay again. Think of it like paying for early access...it's best to (if you are really dedicated to this game and want to play the new updates as they come out) subscribe to their patreon (which are small monthly payments) since, depending on how often they update, it's typically cheaper in the long run.
Well....honestly wasn't expecting a reply. I guess I should first state that by no means is your game bad. In fact, it had me hooked from the beginning which is something that I have trouble finding from games or novels nowadays. It's just that I have three pet peeves when it comes to the content of any game or book I enjoy, and that is NTR, rape, and a weak/submissive main character. Now I get that the MC isn't necessarily submissive or weak (probably...I haven't finished the game yet so I don't know), but when I see them getting their butt whooped and they choose not to fight back I just can't help but get angry. I have dropped many games, books, manga's, etc. in the past when I saw any of the three previously mention pet peeves and almost never pick them back up. I'm sorry about the angry comment, I just sometimes feel the need to express my irritation even when it is definitely not needed.
I haven't play all of the paths in this game yet but I can say with certainty that Angels path is the worst...unless you end up getting beat up without fighting back on all of the paths then I would have to change my statement that ALL the paths suck. Needless to say when that happened on Angels path I decided to just stop her path and I have NO intention of going back...and yes, before you ask I am writing this in a fit of rage so my judgment might be a little clouded but I don't care.
