I was planning to give a 3 star ranting when I started to play the first chapters, then as I kept going and saw devs fixed some questionable models, I gave it a 4. So let's see:
PROS:
- Some models at the beginning of the story are absolutely hideous, to be bold and brutally honest. I can't believe the team saw it and gave it a green light. The funny thing is, when they're posing on the side, their faces look good, but the problem comes when you see them from the front. Jade and Nisse look deformed in the first chapters. Cacau still has a very odd face shape, unless it's intended, she doesn't have enough jaw and chin, and her head is disproportionately small.
- Blatant typos and errors: I'm not saying it has to be perfect and I understand English isn't many dev's native language, but it was annoying to see many female characters being wrongfully referred to as 'he' (Example: The girl you rescue from the park, you can 'hug him' or 'comfort him', and there are other mistakes like this. Some questions lack question marks.
- In some scenes you can see the clothes clipping, and chunks of skin poking out through the clothes. There is also a scene where MC's dad is hugging MC's ex-girlfriend, and the position of dad and ex looks off (Clearly, ex was positioned to long, and dad's hand is hugging the air). There's another render where characters are sinking onto a car seat and onto the floor.
PROS:
- Devs did fix Nisse and Jade's models, that eventually look better and more proportionate (Specially Jade looks gorgeous now).
- Though it needs work, the story is compelling.
- This VN has cinematics and they look gorgeous, you can see the work and passion put into them.
- The devs are focused on keep developing the story instead of halting it on yet another rework.
SUGGESTION FOR DEVS: Fix the typos and gramatical errors. Hope someday you rework the early chapters to fix the disproportionate models. Having music is good, but sometimes the music doesn't match the scene, do invest in finding good songs.
Give this VN a chance, look beyond the first impression you get when you meet the models that don't look that pretty, cause I promise you they get better, and you meet gorgeous girls later in the game. Cheers.
