Potential to be the best ntr with amazing graphic. Let's be honest it not like we going to get more ntr games in the future. NTR is ded atm so enjoy while you can. Let it ride while you can ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

The game is firing on all cylinders and raised the bar of what a visual novel should be. An incredible art style that is elevated by the rock solid writing. Truly in just 2 chapters, the dev has captured a vision and I can't wait to see what's next.

To keep it short: The game is worth doing one playthrough on easy mode. I recommend a red/yellow/brown build (attack/draw/heal) and just cheese the stackable healing buff and damage on draw abilities. After doing so, download a full save and enjoy the porn as well as watch the endings and story-content you missed.

- The story is ass. Straight up, nothing feels important and it seems like you're just "going through the motions." It completely lacks any soul or depth. The characters, motives, and goals are bad and the overall writing quality is terrible as well. Genuinely, this is the only major issue. What makes it worse is that there are 6 endings, all of which are morally bad endings and all but two are difficult grinds to obtain. Please, just follow my advice and download a full save after your first playthrough. The endings are NOT worth obtaining yourself.
- The corruption isn't good. The way the corruption was set up could've led to something interesting, but the execution is terrible due to the horrible writing. This all links with the previous point.
- The deckbuilding system is OK, it functions well enough but is a bit clunky. It's what you'd expect from an H-game, don't expect Slay the Spire levels of deckbuilding. It's honestly boring at first, but around the mid-point it feels a lot better.
- The clothing damage system is bad in the sense that once she's stripped there's no reasonable way to get her re-clothed. She either needs to lose a fight and get fucked by the antagonist or you need the ability to give her one article of clothing back after a battle (which you will immediately lose upon the next fight).
- The battle-fuck system is OK. The only issue with it is that the enemies will take a LONG time to get to the sex. You can go 20+ turns without the girl getting railed.
- The story porn is not great. For one it's static, which is ordinarily fine but it's a bit odd that the battle-fuck porn is animated while the "important story sex" is not. The real issue I have with it is that it's boring and not all that alluring.
- The battle-fuck porn is pretty good. It's animated well and well drawn. A few scenes are repeated with minimal changes, but repeated scenes are not overused. There are a lot of missed anal opportunities, a shame. Lots of tentacles if you're into that though. This content is what carries the entire game.

I think it's a very generous 3/5 teetering on 2/5 just based off the battle-fuck porn. The game isn't terrible but it's certainly not good. A deckbuilding roguelike that you genuinely do not want to play through more that once? Not a good sign. I believe the creator had good intentions and laid a foundation that could've been built off of in a decent way, but we rate things on how they are, not what they could've been.

A VN with many good ideas, but most end up being largely unexplored. A mostly vanilla route exists, but it's so bland that it might as well not even be there. As ever with Anim VNs, the art is amazing and features animated scenes, but only a few of them.

Hivemind needs to chill for a bit, the game's alright, but this is a little ridiculous, certainly not 1 star, but this being at the top of the site is a bit unwarranted for what it really is.
As a basic CG collector, or even an RPGM game with a "deep" story, there's waaaaay better picks on the site that I wish got half as much recognition as this...

wow.... fantastic writing/every character is wonderful. Left wanting more and more, actually read each line instead of scanning through like most VN's. Renders are high quality...only one chapter in...if I had to choose one dev to support and want to see through the end, it'd be these guys.

This is a strange VN; a rape by proxy romance story that attempts to justify its kink (as if it were necessary) through many tedious scenes of hand wringing and lore dumps. This separates it not just from common nukige but also erotica, as the story feels self-conscious from the very start.

The prologue procrastinates however it can before we reach the first sex scene. The writing itself has a nervous energy to it, percussive and terse, while also superfluous and long winded. I found it so tiring to read, *click, one sentence, click, one sentence*, I loaded the raw script in notepad and read along with the dumped CGs. It's not until well into the story that the writing calms down and becomes comfortable with itself, and thus, enjoyable to read. You can tell when this happens because the typos will increase significantly. You will also realise that someone has tricked you into reading an almost-kinetic novel. There is only one crucial choice in this game and it's whether to cuck yourself. It has little effect on anything, as the ending is the same either way. Again, a strange option in a strange story.

I've not played the developer's other game but I knew full well what this story was going to be before I played it, so there was no disappointment there. I don't believe it could have supported the protagonist engaging her captor(s) like assumed, anyway. Other remarks about the story being depressing or dark, I did not find to be true either. Aside from the larger situation at hand and the "misunderstanding" at the start, the protagonist is not ill treated. She even has, as fumbled and minute as it might be, a positive character arc. I also didn't find the art change midway through to be a minus at all. While unfortunate about the original artist, I hope they're okay, the replacement had their own charm. Rok'Thar actually becomes much cuter and more alien-looking in the second style.
Once the story came into its own, I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure who it's meant for. There is not enough traditional conflict to please a romance reader. All the expected story beats are missing. The only threat to them is at the very end, but they are already immensely congruous, so it's very little to surmount, with no tension at all. I also don't think there's enough depravity to please a typical eroge player. Rape and humiliation cease to exist as quickly as they're introduced. Some might find the overall situation titillating, but as the story solely focuses on Natalie, you never get a good grasp on it and it merely blueballs.

Great game! But not for everyone. If you want a complex story or gameplay, look elsewhere. If you want a simple, almost idiotic, storyline that takes you from one great H-scene to another, you've come to the right place!

Well, what can i say. This game is a rare gem, one of the very few instances, that provides some kind of subtlety in its approach to the erotic content. I love the slow tempo and i wish it would drag on forever, with hundred different scenes for every tiny step for progression.

Good animations. Hot scenarios. Passable storyline without broken english. Varied character designs that dont resemble base models you buy from the daz3d shop. I dont have any complaints about this game other than it's not done yet!

I did not expect to have this much fun playing a puzzle game to see anime titties. But here we are.

Gameplay gameplay gameplay. I didn't expect it, but it happened. Something new, fresh, and unique to the porn games. Blew me away. Yes yes its a puzzle game. Some people will hate this. But upon booting up the game and taught the puzzle mechanics, I was thoroughly impressed.

Gameplay centers around a 3d puzzle tower. Think jenga, but with cakes. You have to eat cakes on this tower and navigate and eat the final strawberry cake. This clears the level. However there are rules on which cake in a tower you can eat and you have to use various mechanics and your BRAIN (OH NOOOOOOO) to solve them. Took me about an hour to finish the game. And it was challenging at times. But overall its very cool.

The only thing about the gameplay that may seem meh is the perspective on some levels. Sometimes its VERY hard to click on the blocks you want to navigate to because of the orientation of the top down view. I feel like a 3d puzzle would be much better if I could free camera look the entire tower instead of being in this isometric view. I understand its for difficulty, but it was a bit meh sometimes. Also some players HATE using their brain. And as a result I can see many people becoming frustrated being cock blocked by a cake tower puzzle LMAO.

Goal of the game is essentially to pick a character. Complete puzzles. Build EXP, and eventually you level them up to take their clothes off and unlock the sex scenes. You unlock new characters by progressing the game puzzles.

Sex scenes are lacking. It is a demo, so there is that. But so far you only get 3 female characters and one meme frog with no scenes. Only sex scenes are a recycled tentacle scene with all 3. They also lactate, like milk everywhere. So if thats not your thing, you won't like the scenes. If the full product doesn't have many more scenes, ehhh this might fall flat a bit.

There's no story. Its just anime girls and cake towers.

Overall. Very cool game. I had more enjoyment actually playing the game and eventually didn't even care about the girls or the sex scenes. I just wanted to beat the game haha. So kudos to the dev, but I can see the game not having much appeal to the general audience without more scenes so thats why I am giving it a 4. But its a solid 5 for enjoyment and gameplay.

I look forward to the full product and will 100% be buying it.

This was 1 of the best artstyles I have seen in a mintue (expect Emma's face having 2 much makeup sometimes) but it was nearly perfect .5/5 I would recommend this game was a fucking masterpiece sad it finished tho

Give it a try, it stays true to Mal0 in a lot of ways so far.
The horror is well paced, but doesn't outshine the story or take center stage.
As of writing this, there isn't a whole lot of NSFW stuff, but what there is, is well made, the art is really fitting!

So what can i say. on the surface this seems like a good game. it has solid smooth animations, a beautiful and realistic looking mc, hairy options that remain consistent (for the most part, with a few renders being hairless), and a range of kinks at your disposal, with a really indepth RPG take on its sandbox gameplay. but does it resemble a fun game?

PROS

1. Great smooth animations from the get go. high quality, FAP WORTHY animations

2. The mc isnt a baloon titted woman. shes beautiful and natural.

3. A range of kinks from the get go.

4. Sandbox exploration

5. Freedom to pursue whatever kinda content you desire within the games limits

6. regular content updates


CONS

1. zero penetrative sex content AT ALL (not including masturbation scenes). there are tons of masturbation scenes, and theyre top tiered quality with tons of options to suit your kinks, and they are pretty creative. but outside of masturbation scenes, a few lesbian scenes, and a blowjob & handjob scene. theres nothing else sex wise. theres abit of exhibition scenes. but i have played through this game MULTIPLE TIMES. even cheated my stats to max. and not once have i EVER got ONE SINGLE penetrative sex scene at all. and from my understanding from the countless people asking the dev about them, and him just blatantly ignoring them, and answering positive or neutral questions only.. it seems that my worry MAY be true. that there are infact ZERO PENETRATIVE STRAIGHT SEX SCENES IN THIS GAME.. WHICH TRULY SUCKS... as this game offers you TONS of fetishes, but zero chances for you to fully explore them. i was hoping to do an anal only penetrative playthrough. and on the surface it seemed plausible. however, theres none, not even vaginal... theres tons of masturbation, and teasing. but no actual sex, despite the misleading TAGS saying otherwise. it does feel much like a blue balling with the amount of grind involved (if not using cheats).. and i can see this game failing if the developer doesnt start developing sex scenes soon and in bulk..

2. ALOT OF TEDIOUS GRIND. now i will admit, the game plays almost like a life sim -ish kinda game, so youve gotta do your daily tasks. and sure it offers you the chance to skip some of them, and thats great. but i found myself forced to use cheats to enjoy the game. and thats fine, providing that the dev continues to offer us cheats as the game updates. but for those of us that may want to play the game as intended, it can be abit mind numbing.

3. alot of game breaking bugs. the most severe i faced was in its essentially speaking, new game plus. being able to start a new game with your previous stats. you start the game, and are smacked in the face with TONS OF ERROR WALLS. and its unplayable after that point.

4. the developer doesnt seem to answer all questions, and seems to pick and choose which ones he does answer. which shows a lack of care for ALL his players. now i dont know him, i am NOT judging his character nor his persons, nor his skills. i am simply commenting on the fact that i have seen on this thread him ignoring content questions, but seemingly skimming past to the other none related questions. (wheres the sex, is there any sex)

5. lack of direction. now this bit may be too harsh. but it seems like the developer is focusing way too much on the wrong things. now at the time of writing this review, he has put out polls asking what content we wanna see more of. so thats atleast a step in the right direction. however, ill await the results to have my mind made up on that matter.

6. weak story/narrative. i dont care about the characters on a personal level like i have with other games, nor do i care much for the existing "story"

6. the developer seems to mock or belittle any review that isnt perfect. regardless on whether you put no effort into your review, leave a stupid review, or put some effort into it to provide constructive feedback, he will still take to the thread and indirectly insult or speak about you like a child. the game is one thing, but if the team or developer behind it has a horrible attitude or just themselves are questionable or rude. then it brings the whole game down. now i rated this a 3 stars due to the fact that i felt like i had not experienced absolutely everything in my few playthroughs, as the currently obtainable content wasnt too clear. as f95 tags are unreliable to accurately depict the content featured in the game.. so i left it a neutral rating until i experienced it more, with the intentions to raise it as i experienced more. as thats only fair. i only give top tier ratings for games ive fully experienced, so those who see my reviews see truth and honesty. but for the attitude of the developer with not just me, but multiple others that left a lower scored review.. hes just insulting them in the threads by indirectly speaking about them. so it brings my opinion of this entire thing down. to a two star. one star knocked off due to the developers constant disrespect of his players, and lack of professionalism and appreciation for those that take time to review his game with genuine and honest feedback.


SUMMARY
This game is a good game, but it could be great. right now you have a lot of core systems in place, but without much content that fully allows us to explore the systems you have implemented for us, meaning we cant fully delve into and explore these wonderful fetishes, as we're extremely limited by the lack of options we have. only having lesbian, and mostly masturbation scenes, with a couple foreplay scenes thrown in.. so the systems although promising, fall flat with the lack of depth to allow us to actually take advantage of them. id love to do an anal only playthrough (still doing foreplay, but penetrive only anally).. however, i must wait. anyways.. this game does seem to have most of its core foundations in place, however more time is needed to see whether this is a generic sandbox style VN, or whether it intends to give the player the freedom to play how they want with its systems in place. it has crisp high quality renders and animations, with an attractive mc, and a varied cast of characters, that looks range from HOT ASF, to average (not a bad thing at all, i dont want all to look like victorias secret models).. the story is there, but is its weakest element, not really a narrative driven experience that kept me glued to whats going to develop in the story, and more just a "what kinky shit can i get upto next".. so the narrative needs more depth, and more direction. i want to care about the characters, and their stories. and rn i just dont. is this a game worth supporting? sure, but my personal opinion is wait a little whilst for more sex content to be delivered, so we can actually see the systems in full effect, as right now the experience is bottle knecked due to the lack of sex stuff. however, it does offer high quality animations, and renders. and the rest is pending content. give it time. this game is on my watch list. it looks promising, but time shall tell. rated 3 stars as a default rating, as atm, theres minimal to be experienced in terms of taking advantage of its fetish systems due to a lack of sex. so i dont wanna rate prematurely. so id rate it a 3/5. its a alright game with a solid foundation, but leaves much to be desired.

edit: is this developer worth supporting? his game is alright at best atm, as all its content is very unclear on whats obtainable and what isnt. but the reason i would say to not support the developer financially is specifically due to his attitude towards anyone that doesnt deliver a perfect or good review. he takes constructive critiques as attacks, and therefor argues in the thread like a child. a developer can obtain skills to make a good game, but to make a great one and to make a great developer also comes with matching the skill with a great mindset. and unfortunately he seems to lack that. avoid this like the plague. if you leave anything but perfect reviews, expect to be indirectly insulted


CLARIFICATION. I WONT EDIT MY REVIEW, BUT ILL EXPLAIN SOMETHING. IM NOT SAYING THERE IS ZERO SEX IN THE GAME AT ALL. I HOWEVER WILL SAY, IN MY SEVERAL PLAYTHROUGHS OF THE GAME, SPANNING OVER 10+ HOURS, I DIDNT GET ANY PENETRATIVE STRAIGHT SEX. THATS WHAT MY REVIEW IS REFERENCING. IS MY EXPERIENCE. AND THEN ALSO ROAMING THIS THREAD TO SEE CLARIFICATION AND NOT FINDING IT. I ASKED FOR IT SEVERAL TIMES SPANNING FROM MONTHS AGO, AND WAS IGNORED. OTHER PEOPLE ASKED, AND WAS IGNORED. SO I REVIEWED THIS ORIGINALLY AS A NEUTRAL 3 STARS DUE TO NOT PERSONALLY EXPERIENCING WHAT I FELT WAS A ENOUGH OF THE GAME, TO GIVE IT A PROPER REVIEW. SO I LEFT IT AT THE DEFAULT NEUTRAL 3 STARS, WITH INTENTIONS TO UPDATE MY REVIEW AS TIME GOES ON. BUT THEN THE DEVELOPER ARGUES WITH MY FAIR 3 STAR AT THE TIME, AND INDIRECTLY INSULTS ME, AS HE ALSO HAS WITH OTHERS EARLIER IN THE THREAD WITH ANY REVIEW THAT ISNT A PERFECT ONE. SO I LOWER IT BY A STAR DUE TO HIS ATTITUDE. AS WHY WOULD YOU WANNA SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO SUPPORT SOMEONE WHO CANNOT TAKE CRITISISM. So yeah. thats my explanation. and i personally wont be playing this game anytime soon, as i aint going to support a developer that argues with players giving fair reviews and opinions.

One of best game with femdom tag!
But need more action and fetishes, like pussy worship, amazon, pegging, urethral sounding. prostate massage, post orgasm torture and etc
It will add more "life" for this game, and make more money for creature team.
I hope, theire new episode will be longer than first!

An underdeveloped, boring-ass game that's as forgettable as the piss you took a few hours ago.

I've gotta start out with the clusterfuck that is this title's story. It's all fluff and no substance; I pretty much went through the entire game not knowing what the hell was going on because it was never well explained in dialogue or otherwise. The plot consists of some shapeshifting goth chick stuck inside a dream world where I'm assuming she has to battle her self-consciousness and come to terms with her lesbianism or some shit like that. Three fourths of the game is spent fighting "The Doubt" (which sounds like a phony reject from MGS3's Cobra Unit), and the final portion is spent on some other chick named after a mixed drink who I half believe to be a succubus that really wants to pet the MC's kitty. Yeah it's retarded, but I've gotta come up with something since the game spends 95% of it's story time (along with interrupting gameplay) spouting intellectual-sounding bilge that contributes nothing meaningful or entertaining to the story. Oh, and the titular "Dreamcutter" is nothing more than the bargain-bin equivalent to the Terror Mask from Splatterhouse. It's neither witty nor badass like the Terror Mask and is usually the one spewing pointless bullshit at the player.

That joke about the protagonist being a shapeshifter is no lie either. All the story scenes in the game swap between a bunch of different art styles at random, some of which being very different than others. One moment, the protag is relatively thin and unassuming, next she's made out to be some cutesy anime girl, and then she becomes thicker than an all-ice-cream milkshake in clothes that are way to small for her current size. This goes for everything else in the story scenes, and it pisses me off how the game can't just stick to one style that it does well. My guess is that the devs designated three or four different artists certain story scenes and jury-rigged them all together to save on time/money.; The half-assery shows.

Oh boy, and now I get to talk about the game itself. As soon as I started the game and pressed jump, I knew I was going to be in for a bad time. Your character jumps up extremely fast and then falls like they're on the fucking moon. What's more is that the game feels unnaturally fast for no reason. Swinging off hooks and grinding rails sends you zipping across the screen at a speed that would make Sonic blush. This would be fine if the game was built around it, but Dreamcutter instead chooses to be a precision platformer where a hit from anything in the air (whether it be spikes or an enemy) will lock you out of your fucking controls. More often than not, I found myself falling into pits or hitting spiked walls because I didn't have enough time to react to jumps I was supposed to make or enemies I was supposed to slash. Animations also feel unreasonably fast, like the devs turned the speed on them up to x2 or x3 during programming and forgot to set them back to normal afterwards.

Which leads perfectly into the combat. Dear God, the combat. That animation problem I mentioned? Yeah, that applies to enemy hitstun and attack wind-up. The end product is that enemies are (more often than not) able to hit you through your fucking attack combo. You can't even attack enemies with the options the game gives you without getting interrupted and eating damage yourself: That is some absolute bullshit.

The move set you have to deal with enemies is extremely limited as well. You get a two-hit combo (that enemies can interrupt), a mid-air swing (which is actually half-way decent), and a grounded and mid-air launcher (that doesn't even fucking work since enemies don't get launched until they're dead). The combo can be upgraded to three-hits (which provides a bit more DPS but is mostly negligible) and you can also buy this midair spin move that lets you pogo off enemies, but the timing is so strict on it that it's pretty much a useless piece of shit. The game tries to implement a Devil May Cry style combo system to spice things up, but fails to realize what made it fun in the first place. While DMC relies on mixing the many moves you're given to achieve a high combo, this shitload of fuck devolves into spamming the attack button on the same three enemies you encounter throughout the entire game.

For the sake of brevity, some other things I found incredibly frustrating were:

• Money farming, as always. Buying all the upgrades requires you to do this, and we all know how fun grinding is.
• Every stage ends with destroying this flying purple orb that spawns an endless stream of enemies right on top of you. Could the placement of the enemies be any worse?
• After falling to a pit, the game can straight up respawn you on top of an enemy. Enemies can also move and hit you during cutscenes, where you can't do jack shit to defend yourself.
• A hub world for absolutely no reason. The game would have been better with a Mario-style world map and the item shop being accessible with the click of a button. You also respawn back into the hub world after completing each level, forcing you to run back to the right door to the world that contains the next level.
• Challenges for lewd art are locked behind a paywall of coins. Why in the ever-loving fuck do I need to pay to unlock the challenge for the H-content? Isn't it enough that I've gotta go back and replay a stage all over again with some stupid-ass stipulation?

H-scenes are pathetic in this title. You get one or two still images that last for five seconds after completing a world. I legit thought I was skipping the scene with how fast it went but, nope, they're that short. They look nice, I'll give them that, but it sucks that you only get 5-6 stills throughout the entire game that have the same varying art problem mentioned before. Extra art can be unlocked by completing those stupid fucking challenges, but most of them are just pictures of the MC in skimpy clothes or in the nude. Bonus note, said scenes also plug other games that are published by Shady Corner, which speaks volumes about their business practices.

I put myself through the hell of 100%ing this game, and doing so revealed a note from the developers saying that the project "didn't have a lot of funding and was made by an extremely small team". Well, it fucking shows with how half-assed the game is. Terrible story, shit gameplay, and H-content that barely got me aroused. Do yourself a favor and don't play this nightmare.

Compared to other "walk around and collect scenes" RPGM games this game is god-tier. But at the end of the day, that's all this game is. Walk around and collect scenes.

Story 5/10

Mika is a lazy angel. So she's sent down to town to collect "love", whatever that is. The town's been seeing higher sexual crime rates and she suspects it's the sex cult. Turns out the sex cult is lead by a pretty chill leader who wants to help.

The cause of the disturbance is a broken artifact that's been emitting sexual waves. Mika, being lazy, lets her incompetent coworker Bell try to fix the machine. This turns out to be a mistake as Bell uses some anime book to try to repair the machine.

The machine goes haywire but Mika evolves to a high angel and saves the day. But she's been sexing it up so she lets a little bit of the sex juice leak for her own purposes at the end of the game.

I like how Mika's competent but lazy and that really shows through. Her laziness shows up in dialogue where she's unwilling to do things or tries to take shortcuts. Even the fact that the machine went haywire is due to Mika's laziness and not wanting to try to fix the artifact herself.

Gameplay 3/10

Standardish RPGM walk around and collect scenes. The one unique element is some Who Wants To Be A Millionaire trivia mini-game which you can thankfully turn off.

The map size isn't too large nor confusing. The size/length of the game is also just about right for the story and gameplay.

One real downer is the lag. The game lags. I have no idea why an RPGM game whose most complex feature is displaying images lags. The lag is most prevalent in menus such as when customizing Mika's clothes.

The clothes customization is nice. It doesn't really affect the gameplay but it's fun enough to do.

Art 7/10

The art is quite nice. I absolutely love the thick eyeliner look in anime. Mika's pretty and the rest of the cast of angels are cute as well.

The boobs are... well, realistic. If you take all of Mika's clothes off, they sag. And you know what? I appreciate that level of detail. Similarly with the other angel's boobs, they're very varied. One's a washboard while another has larger boobs than Mika.

As this is a scene hunting game, there's a decent number of scenes. And the dialogue isn't a snoozefest nor too short either. The number of variance CGIs is not very high but this game makes it work.

Overall 5/10

Not an amazing experience but a very well made game. I liked how the plot tied into why everyone's so sexualized as opposed to a town where everyone's a deviant for no good reason.

Fantastic VN - LOVE the renders and animations .. Beautiful models - especially M*m Looking forward to more of this AND the Devs other project

Models 5/5
Animations 5/5
plot -- interesting premise

Hiya just finished what you have completed and wanted to provide some feedback.

Pros:
-Story is good and I like where it is headed
-Some of the LIs are nice to look at and done nicely
-There was not a ton of typos or incorrect wording. Always a plus.

Cons:
-Some of the people do not look there age. Like the daughter looks way older than mother. Why white hair?? Breasts look way to saggy and old to be 18. Mother has a nicer look and body.
-Most of the LIs have huge milk jugs and there is little diversity with breast sizes.
-Some of the LIs are very unattractive to me.

I actually like the writing in this one. There's a lot of grammar issues, but that doesn't really bother me. It's hilarious, entertaining, and enjoyably unhinged. The game overall feels well made and the characters look really great. It seems a lot of work was put in to the 3D and their animations and I can't wait to see more of the game overall. The main character is as hilarious as he is devious and perpetually horny.

What there is of the game, however, is extremely shallow. This game supposedly started development a year and a half ago and the "guild" part of Spicy Guild Adventurers isn't even in the game yet. You can fish and sell the items to make money, but for nothing, since there's no reason to buy anything. This feels like another one of those games that'll take 8 years to complete.

Slow development isn't what makes this game a 3/5, though. The real reason is because I fucking hate half of the characters in the game. The other half I initially liked until the story went on, then I hated them, too. All of them are unstable insano bitches who want nothing more than to make your life miserable for no other reason than because you exist (except Sori, but with how the characters are written so far, I have a feeling she will probably end up being the same). A great example is Mara, who I thought would be the only character sympathetic to you, but the plot advanced, I currently want nothing to do with her. This is definitely the developer's fetish. It got to the point where I literally said out loud, "alright, what kind of bullshit contrived drama are you going to bring" when I thought a new character that showed up. Turned out, it was just some meta character that was the developers way of gathering feedback for their game. I was literally conditioned to expect the worst out of everyone.

It's really quite frustrating, because in the times where characters aren't being horrible psychopaths, I really did enjoy (what little there was of) the game.
