    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 v0.1...

    Well, even for being so early into it's production, I'm not impressed...

    The visuals are ok, but there are some disturbing character visuals I saw... As an example when the male protagonist (the actual bodyguard) is confronting the guy who is harassing his young client at the university... When the thug begins yelling at the protagonist, his face takes on an almost demonic look with how his mouth is open flaring his teeth, it just looked weird... Plus, when does throwing someone cause them to be instantly knocked out? Another example is when the young client smiles, after being rescued, her smile looks a bit unnatural and slightly disturbing... It's little things like that I found odd... Plus a lot of the visuals are slightly grainy looking... And the women characters again have breasts that do not fit their body frames, which is probably meant to appeal to peeps with the big breast fetish...

    The script is full of broken English, not horrible broken English, but enough to make it hard to read... The story itself starts off slightly believable but so many far fetched things begin happening, almost makes me feel like I'm reading/watching a low budget film or B-Rated late Thursday night 80's flick...

    An example, is when you meet the new client's mother in the office, you have a choice at the end to ask for a BJ or 2 other choices... The 2nd play through I selected the "Ask for BJ" choice, which I figured would seem like a rude thing to ask a new business client, when nothing in the script up to that point led you to believe they were flirting etc, I just wanted to see what reaction there would be for such a blatantly rude request... And wouldn't you know it, she doesn't respond to that request in any other way then she just begins giving the protagonist a BJ, no questions asked or comments made, and when it's all over that whole scene is done, and we're wisked away to the next part of the story... I mean wow, this just screams out meaningless porn scene...

    That is just one example, another was in the end of this version when one of the killers just magically appears, on the very steps of the university, with a gun and shells on his side, and no one is screaming or running away from the obvious gun toting mad man in the middle of a school campus, where just moments ago people were just exiting the campus building... It's stuff like that, is why it takes on a very corny and B-rated feel... Far fetched stuff like that just ruins the immersion and believability of the situation...

    Overall, I get a suspicious feeling this VN/Game is being designed more as a porn game anyhow, just based off the opening visuals showing off yet another cliché body building super male model protagonist, naked as a jay bird... Add to that, the corny, hard to read, and rushed script... I just don't see this one being all that good, even knowing it is still early in production... I have my suspicions that this one may end up being more of a porn focused game, rather than a VN/game with a good story... I will not revisit this one...
