Here's the thing, 5 stars for this is outrageous. 1 star is also very harsh, and I'm not saying that this is a badly made game at all, everything functioned well, looked good and all in all feels like a professional product.
Basic takeaway: anyone who values their time should look elsewhere.
The problem is that this game is repetition at its finest, and it's a bit insidious about it. While RPG games here might have tons of battles that you have to repeat, it's obvious where there's grind. In this game, it kinda hits you with enough story variety early on that you don't think it's going to be grindy, and the survival needs system is compelling enough at first. But I spent 6 hours in this game without any sex, and that's by design. There wasn't anything really fun about that 6 hours, and I don't particularly care about any of the characters.
So for 6 hours I looked at recycled renders, recycled words, and nothing really interesting. The only way I can fathom this game having such high reviews is that people played it who genuinely do not value their own time at all, OR they used cheats from the get-go. I think anyone who wants to enjoy it should. But I hate that, because then it's hard to know how to balance the cheats optimally. Making something so droll that people HAVE to cheat to enjoy it is awful design, despite obvious talent behind this game.
