Don't let my playtime fool you, I left this running overnight. This game is almost good. There's just one problem: Ashley. I'm in Chapter 11 right now and she hasn't gotten any more tolerable, the MC hasn't grown a damned spine, and it's just too much. It would be tolerable if you were given choices in how to deal with at places that feel like they should be choices, but you aren't. No player agency at all. There are alternate branches of the story I'd really like to explore, but I'm not going to. I can't handle dealing with Ashley again. I'm basically forcing myself to finish my current playthrough. Edit: So, as you can see from my playtime, maybe 30 minutes after posting this I actually halted my playthrough, uninstalled the game, and hid it in my library so I'd never see it again. Story experience with Ashley so bad it killed any desire I had to ever interact with it again. Now, other people do like her, which is fine. I'd actually say it's not a bad idea to buy the game, there is a lot of good stuff and the art is good. Just know that if you don't like Ashley when you first start interacting with her, it does not get better. Uninstall and get a refund. If you do…

Très très lent, narration inintéressante. Histoire plate.

Good game. The spicy scenes are few and far between. Especially before Ep 10. The graphics and animations are very good and the female characters are cute/sexy with realistic proportions (and I thank the devs for that). The story is fun and engaging and you really start to care about the characters. Recommended.

Used to play this game before via Itch, however wanted to support the developer by buying it on steam when it was out for release as it is a very entertaining game and probably one of the better ones among the avn's. The story is intriguing, entertaining with a few jokes around and keeps you on the hook. The characters are different than most and are diverse with what you prefer. Hopefully more to come though and a nice relaxing soundtrack on the background.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
