A Promise Best Left Unkept - Aya Edition

First of all, why are there no warnings on either the game's Steam page or in the game itself about suicide or snuff content?! WTF? Short synopsis: The game shows Aya at her absolute worst, spiraling into violence, madness. She lets her childhood trauma consume her from within, thanks to Luca, of course. With each passing scene, Harry is treated worse and worse. Of course porn logic must be here, but it's just wrong in comparison to APBLU. Aya projects many of her mental instabilities onto Harry. There are no happy endings in the game—only Aya becoming completely corrupted by Luca. Beware: there are some spoilers below, but I tried to keep them to a minimum. Nevertheless, I recommend reading this, especially if you played the previous game and love Aya. Everything written here comes from the perspective of someone who played APBLU 1, which, to me, is a full-fledged visual novel with NTR elements. I played Aya Edition when version 1.0 was released. I've been waiting for it ever since I heard about the early access version. The base game with Laura and Aya is, in my opinion, superb porn game. Not perfect, but still a great story with multiple endings—both bad and good which made s…

I enjoyed "his bet, her loss".. but this game I just couldn't finish, didn't like any of the characters and the whole thing is just full of small talk which never really goes anywhere. It's definitely missing the teasing, seductive element, just basically forced intimacy. The characters aren't as sexy and animations also weren't as good as their other title.

If you're picking between the original "A Promise Best Left Unkept" AVN and this "Aya Edition" ...I would definitely recommend the original. I enjoyed it very much. This retelling basically begins about a third of the way into the original story and then cuts the Laura character out completely and veers into the corruption of Aya. The basic plots are identical. This novel is long, btw. Very long and I found some of the scenes and dialogue getting repetitive after awhile. So, be aware of that. And the corruption is fairly brutal. I'm sure I'm not the only Aya simp out there who found her to be the most enjoyable character in the original. I was hoping for more of that Aya in this version, but unfortunately I just didn't find her. In the Aya Edition, she's kinda dumbed down, in my opinion. She doesn't seem as sharp or insightful and Luca really has zero difficulty in corrupting her. I expected more a fight, you know? I'm still frustrated by the incredibly superhuman ability of the MC to be blind to everything that happens literally right in front of him. I mean, some of the scenes are funny that way, and they're all over-the-top fantasy, but still...Nobody is that stupid. It just…

For a while I was really engaged in the story. Right to the point where it switches to Aya as the gf and once the NTR starts with her. There is just one scene in a hotel lobby that really annoyed me. I don't have anything against NTR, don't care. But if the story gets bad, I am out. MC stays dumb for too long. He really is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ blind to a point where it becomes annoying. I read only from his pov, so I don't know how Aya got mixed up with the bad guy (although I have my doubts that the reason is really good enough, judging by how it was with his first gf) but after MC behaved like a complete moron I just couldn't bother anymore. At least make him somewhat competent. I would like to give it a neutral opinion. I enjoyed the time I had with it but I'll never finish it, unless I just start skipping. So can't really recommend that, can I?

YES

I absolutely loving it !!! Except Harry...
