Yet another Dev working on multiple projects at once while prioritizing Patreon above all else. Expect long development cycles here as most of the 1st page of updates on Patreon are for other games and not this one, along with multiple posts about struggling to meet Dev goals.
This game itself isn't bad. It's got cute and sexy characters, open-ish world functions and stats, tho I see alot of complaints about it being too grindy. So far, I haven't had issue with this, but I am still fairly early game. I think so long as you don't get this game hoping to bang girls as soon as you meet them and understand that you'll have to do a bit of work for them, then you'll have proper expectation set.
Game story and premise isn't anything new: Renamable MC lost his cherished mother to what seems to be a traumatic accident a few years prior and now has to go live with mom's sexy milf "Friend" and her daughters as a foster child at the age of 18. One sister is a Tsundere and the other is open and welcoming. The town is full of sexy girls that the MC can M'n'F if he has the right stats and is good at being in the right place at the right time. To facilitate this, you are conveniently provided with a way to see where you need to be and when as well as the stats needed for these.
Stats so far have been trivial to gain: Go to the vending machine in town in the morning, drop muns for a stat gain booster, go back home and jog and/or grind that stat from your bed for a day, jog at night and you'll gain 16 points in that stat. The same grind without boosters gives 8. I can see that the grind might be harder the further you get into the game as stat caps are 250, but the game also has so many events sprinkled throughout to break the monotany of the grind if you wish.
My complaints come from performance, continuity errors and strange design choices.
-The game starts with dialogue that auto-progresses, goes faster if you click and does not allow you to back track to see the test you missed.
-The MC's default name is 'Raiya', and tho the game allows you to rename, the MC is still introduced as Raiya for a few lines of dialogue and name changes do not update the profile of the character.
-A stat labeled as "Modesty" in the spa doesn't exist on the stats page. It is instead "perversion".
-Tutorials for mechanics are not introduced until AFTER you attempt to perform the action, so there may be mechanics that some players may not find.
-The writing of the game feels natural, but the characters refer to other characters that haven't been introduced and the MC acts like "Oh yeah, I know who you're talking about" meanwhile the player is left feeling like "Who the frick is this?"
-On the topic of things not shown or mentioned... relationship also have alot of progress off-screen it seems. With both Rena and Reena, events come up in the story where the characters are talking about things that have happened, and would have been awesome to see, but we as the player do not get to see them. It's even worse when this sort of revelation comes during a cutscene that shows very little.
-Day 1, the MC notices that the PC in his room is broken. Night 1, he thanks the milf for sending a named character to fix it... a named character we never met and never witnessed fixing the PC... and the PC still doesn't work.
-I have to disagree with the decision to lock the gallery behind a currency (Nostalgia points) you have to grind in the game. If we have viewed the scene in game, we should have the luxury of viewing it again if you're going to offer a gallery.
Overall, I'll play the game for now, maybe hit the end of current 4.0 content (or not) and then move on. Because the Dev obviously has way too much on their plate at this time, I'm not hopeful for too much development progress for months and I'm not wanting to get attached to a game or even invest in it if I have to wait on the dev to eventually swing their attention back to this game.
