    Its actually pretty good.
    The narrative is pretty well written, and the characters are quite likable.
    There's a fair amount of content, and it's pretty well paced.
    The game has AI art but it looks quite good, and the monochrome aspect makes it look unique.
    10/10

    Decent visual novel, actually enjoyed the story and didn't find myself wanting to skip all the unread. There seems to be an actual story, instead of a bunch of boilerplate dialogue. The black and white aesthetic is fairly unique.

    It's a mediore visual novel about a boy watching his mom fooling around with his dad, while meeting tropey characters that suddenly want to fuck with him.

    As of v0.6.0, there's a good ammount of content in theory, about a hour of text reading, with about... 12 lewd scenes. In practice, those scenes are not worth either being invested or skipping the text, the AI generated art has a bit of a charm to it, but in recent releases, it's shown to be getting worse and worse.

    The aesthetic of the game is somewhat charming, if you get over the repetitive music and the bad scenes. The monochrome visuals make the game seem more interesting, like there's something waiting to happen, but there isn't, you're just watching your parents fuck, and fucking your stepsister - and other characters, in the future - because.

    The story might be engaging for you, giving you some scenes in every "Day" of the narrative to keep your hands busy. However, the game simply relies on character niches that are heavily contained, without room to innovate (a.e.: "dominant" tsundere falls for the player, failed athlete tries to be better because she fell for the player).

    This game doesn't seem to be ambitious or good; If you're looking for something to fap to or a decent story, you should look elsewhere.


    Pros:
    - Casual narrative
    - Some decent scenes


    Considerations:
    - In Development
    - Monochrome visuals
    - Stepsiblings
    - AI generated game and probably writing


    Cons:
    - Short game with unpromising story
    - Heavily story-driven
    - 2/3 of the game is not lewd at all
    - Relies on character tropes without bringing much else to engage with the story
    - Many loading screens
    - Genuinely bad art in the latest release
