Almost makes me hope that one day Cosy goes back to “remaster” the first 10-14 or so days.
Cosy has improved a lot, and first impressions matter. It’s not exactly that they are bad, they have their own charm, but seeing the recent updates there’s so much care and implied story telling going on in the lighting, the positioning of the characters, their postures and the camera angles. Going back to the start feels jarring.
As per the patreon there are some time skips planned. No idea when they happen or how much time they will skip.
I think it was important to take the time now to set up the relationships between all the characters and set up the world around them. Right now everything is still very fresh and the MC is fighting for some stability and normalcy, when things become routine (which I think will be soon) we may get that first time skip.
Quite a lot of adult games on this page have very unlikable main characters, complete idiots who couldn’t figure out how to boil a cup of water. Or LIs have paper thin characters that only exist while they are on screen. Other games use the “harem” tag to mean cheating where none of the LIs know about each other. Or the “bdsm” tag that often means the MC is an asshole who doesn’t understand consent.
Thankfully none of these criticisms apply here!
We just have a decent guy as protagonist who’s emotionally intelligent and cares about the girls. Consent is very clearly communicated, all the girls know about each other and they all feel like different individuals with their own lives. So we get a wholesome romantic story with great character moments.
I don’t know. All I know is, Cosy has confirmed that it is planned for the end of the story.
My guess is that Cosy has some ideas for character arcs and knows which caracter(s) will eventually want to have children of their own. But if, when and how we get there is all subject to change, we’ll have to wait for the story to unfold.
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.
