The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs... The version this review is based on is v0.2.0...

Well I didn't play this visual novel/game for too long... It may have alright visuals, but the story is a bit weird and the script is full of broken English... You have some relationship stats to worry about, but I couldn't tell if there were any other hidden stats to be concerned with or not...
The visuals use the Unity engine which means the graphics for the characters are good quality, and the backdrops are decent... The buttons for going to the rooms are not that good, as you have to squint sometimes to know what rooms they represent until you get used to knowing what button goes where via muscle memory... The text for clicking on some items is a bit buggy, as it sometimes appears right away, but if you move your mouse too much it disappears, which can probably be fixed with bigger hover over boxes...
The script is full of broken English, some easy to figure out and some so bizarre I just skipped it and went on, not having a clue what it was meaning to imply... This is most likely due to poor translation/interpretation from it's original language to English... The immersion of the story was a little hard to swallow at first, that you fly 14 hours to live in your boss' mansion to do menial data processing... And when I went to help the daughter with her homework, because of the mouse hover issue, all I could do was touch the girls leg and that ended up with a game over, which I absolutely hate in visual novels... Having to go back to a save game, or start over because of UI issues or because the author's booby trapped the choices, is annoying and there should be a warning in the description or in game about that feature/issue...
Because the immersion felt jaded due to the broken English, clicking problems, room buttons without hover over text to get around the super small room visual, and the concept of a database programmer living in the boss' mansion to do work he could have easily done from an office, I just couldn't keep playing this one... Now, don't get me wrong, there is a story in this visual novel, as well as good visuals, but I couldn't deal with the poorly designed linear story with all the flaws I already mentioned... Like the finding the kitchen scene, it was basically just an excuse to get the player to take the protagonist upstairs just to see the daughter in the shower naked... The door to the kitchen was right there, so easy not to have missed, and yet you are forced to skip opening it when looking for the kitchen, in order to force an erotic scene onto the player... It's that and other little things...
Now, based off the version number 0.2.0, this remake, using the Unity engine, is still early in it's development, and so there is plenty of time to work out the kinks and add more to it... Only time will tell how this vn/game will turn out... But unless some of the issues get hammered out before creating more content, I will probably be avoiding any future updates to this one...
