itch.io

I appreciate the encouragement, it has been something I have been considering for some time, as I'm mostly an artist and streamer myself, not really a game dev kinda person. But the notion of 'fine I'll do it myself' has popped into my head.

I am sorry if this message came off as harsh, it's just a trend I'm seeing with a lot of these types of adult games and I just wished it wasn't the case.

So I want to start off by saying I was too sure about this game from the start, I get the Weird Science angle it's going for however, there is just so much damn reading in this game. If you'd even call it that.

The prologue to prom is just a lot reading, so much I was seriously getting tired of just how much reading I was doing with very little actual choices I was getting to make, this is a game when you have your own customizable sexbot, yet you barely get to do anything. I see stats going up and down in the corners but I can't choose to talk to any of the characters, it became incredibly frustrating.

Because this game was acting like I had these relationships, but I didn't know anything about anyone, it seemed more interested in being it's own quirky visual novel than getting to the GAME.

By the time I got to prom and I was seeing the other nerd, I've forgotten his name, putting those chips on people, I was seriously like 'gee, I wish I could do that, I wish the game had given the choice to me a sweet nice boy, or get corrupted by the powers of androids, that be a fun narrative choice and I'd get to do stuff.'

And it was at that point I stopped playing, it took me way longer than it should have to get to that scene and the sex alone was not engaging enough to keep my attention.

I was considering if I should give this game a look, and litterally this line made me decided not to...

 'and will likely have submissive themes, for the most part (I can't exclude some dominant content completely, but it wouldn't be widespread)'

I'm just sort of tired of the amount of adult games on Itch.io where the female protags are always the submissive partners, getting shit done to them and never being the ones who instigate it, like if you are playing a male character you get a power fantasy, if you are a female protag you are someones bitch. It's getting tiring for me.

I get the dark humor of the game, but part of me was really looking forward to the moment where I get to turn the tables on her and make her part of my future harem! Only to have her unceremoniously eaten as a joke, as I played on through the game, I kept thinking back to her and just how it really felt like a lot of wasted potential.

Would it be possible to get a quick start feature? The intro sequence is very long and hard to get through on multiple playthroughs, so an option to just skip to the point where you are actually making decisions would be nice.

For the most part, I was enjoying this game, the girls or are cute, the UI is amazing, I was actually playing this for a strong while, but eventually I had to stop because the games weakest aspect just got in my way.

Which was the visual novel aspect of this game, every time the main story crept back up, my interest would massively drop. The game dating sim and RPG aspect of this game already has me fairly invested, but the story I hate to say I really couldn't care about.

It just felt like it was a way to cap my investment in the game, not being able to progress further with characters until X, Y and Z criteria were met.

Not to mention, it didn't really have me invested, You get attacked saving your family from a demon, end up in town and get forced to start an adventuring guild, with no one answering why that's a big deal for 'reasons', then when you decided to go back to help your family, there is the big cliched emotional 'oh how could you do this to after all we've been through'

Despite the fact, you are going to check on your FAMILY, making a lot of the characters you were invested in, suddenly come across as conceited and selfish.

It felt like artificial drama and I hated it.

I played up to scene where you are kidnapped in this game and immediately uninstalled. The description of the game of getting to choose who you get to be a hero or a villain, plus the choice of how you approach relationships with mind control powers really interested me.

However, the story keeps seeming to hammer in this idea of me being the hero, with concern about my family, the fairy and others. Making it very hard to just focus on being a villain.

That isn't to mention it seems like a majority of the game takes place after this scene, because I wanted to explore meet characters, build relationships, do all the things the game advertised I could do, but I had to wait for other events to trigger.  It genuinely frustrated me, because all I wanted to do was play the game, but I kept having control and choices taken away with me.

Yes I understand that primarily, this is a visual novel, with RPG elements, but if your main selling point are how you get to make a choice and I don't get to make choices, it takes me out of the game.

I dunno if you have a story road map in mind, but I will say it be really nice if there was an option to go down a villain path, with alternate romance options.
