The girls voice it's amazing!
So far so good!
Looks good for a start, 5-10 good minutes of play.

It's an attempt to make people subconsciously associate images of attractive women with cringe voice acting that drains any and all thoughts of sex from their minds so they'd be more industrious in their daily lives.

Well, I'd really like to know what's the game about, not just who did it. Appreciate the upload, anyway.
Yeah. It's nice to know they're professional, but professional what exactly? Wrestlers, Taxi cab drivers? Probably not developers or game designers because the UI makes no sense, the voice acting is cut off by the text scrolling and There are no options for volume so the music was too loud compared to the dialogue... well, monologue really.

On the plus side, the art is lovely and the voice acting adds a lot of charm. This is promising.

To early to say something, yeah we got some preview of art and voice acting, but i`d better check this one again after a pretty good amount of updates to watch overall direction of the development, because i got the feeling that authors trying to do some serious stuff that might have a good story.

Nice voice acting and art.
Terrible UI and game design.

Sorry if I'm rude, but I wanted to be honest with you.

Also, you don't need Unity for this, you could do the same and better with Ren'Py.

I really like the artwork. Let's hope they will continue to make a lot of content.

Strange that when I restarted the game the UI changed for me. First playthrough looked like in the opening post and now it looks like this.

Oh, it looked like in the opening post for me too but I never restarted the game. This is much better.

Nice..Something new. Renders are kool and the voice acting is sexxxxy. the Game UI is laggy and taking up alot of resources. Looking forward for next update.. Good Luck to the Dev. and team.

This is a good, short game with lots of potential. I recommend playing it and giving the authors feedback!

I'm a fan of the art. It's solidly drawn and looks excellent. I'd like a gallery to see past scenes and make sure I've played everything to completion. Also solid is the storytelling. There's some necessary work with punctuation, grammar, and spacing: common stuff with in-development VNs (authors may PM me for additional information here, as I'm not about to vomit lines of proofreading into this post).

The interface is where real improvement is needed. It was devilish getting Unity to the right dimensions for the game, and text can be difficult to read with that busy blue background.

Cheers to the authors - please keep at it!

PROS: Very nice art. CONS: The MC actress overdid it by a lot, she sounds like a filthy nympho whore. Would be much better if she played an innocent, naive girl who got raped on the train. That spoiled the entire game for me.
