Absolutely stellar.
Honestly let’s start with the criticism: if you start at the beginning you may be a little put off by the graphics - the environments are plain and sterile, camera placement is functional but boring, the lighting is very flat, the characters look like stickers, but all that changes over time.
It is clear that cosy-creator is getting better at those things, I would say around day 20 we have dynamic renders, with interesting camera and character placement, soft lighting with shadows and it’s starting to look really great!
But the heart of this is the story and the characters. All characters have their own personality and voice. They are fully realized personalities that live and exist even when the MC is not around. And they are consistent to the point where I was able to predict exactly what they will say next. The writing is definitely the strength of this avn.
There are not many choices, but honestly I was very quickly engrossed in the story that I didn’t even notice.
Lewd scenes are earned and fit within the story. Yes this takes some time and if you’re just looking for a quick wank, you may be disappointed, this is a slow burn, more focused on intimacy and romance. But when we get there it feels deserved for these characters.
I think my least favorite subplot is the one involving Misaki, the public thing just isn’t for me, but to each their own.
Catherine surprised me in the last update, I didn’t like her much, but now I’m looking forward to her development.
But Sarah is the best.
