Hard Times at Sequoia State Park

I held off on picking this game up because of some of the reviews complaining of lack of content. I finally got it in a sale, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Sequoia State Park. Now that all the (free) DLC is included, there are four paths you can take. The "main" game is with one girl, but has branching choices that cover three variations. This is probably close to half of the game. The other three girls get unlocked based upon how you play the main girl, and each can be played separately. I can understand the irritation from players when it was only the "main" game; only one girl, and at full price? I would've been a bit disappointed too. But I can recommend this in its current state. Overall it took me 5 hours for every path (I read fairly fast so mileage may vary), including replaying some scenes to unlock the few pieces of art I was missing Pros: Great art Amusing writing Sex scenes are good and varied Four distinct girls to ♥♥♥♥ Cons: Sometimes the art doesn't perfectly match the writing, but there are a lot of small variations so I understand Occasionally the text skips a line if you click through while it's also changing the scene

It's alright, not really a story, more of a someone's cliche fantasy visualised, but outside of few inconsistencies that annoyed me it's a good one The DLC CGs look better and they callback to choices required to unlock them unlike always defaulting dialogues in the main scene Little bit too short and not quite as visualised as it could be, still better than average vn or plain book

Hard Times at Sequoia State Park is an adult-oriented visual novel developed by Dirty Ink Games and published by TinyHat Studios that centers on character-driven storytelling, explicit romance, and personal introspection. Set against the backdrop of a national park, the game follows Chloe, a young woman beginning her first day as a park ranger while simultaneously confronting unresolved emotions, complicated relationships, and deeply personal desires. Rather than functioning as a traditional game with mechanical depth or systemic complexity, it unfolds primarily through dialogue, illustrated scenes, and branching narrative choices that shape how interactions develop. The core structure is that of a linear visual novel with limited but meaningful decision points. Players progress by reading dialogue, selecting conversational responses, and unlocking scenes that expand on Chloe’s emotional state and her connections with other characters. The choices influence tone and outcomes within certain encounters, offering alternative perspectives or variations in how relationships evolve. However, these branching paths do not radically alter the overall story arc. Instead, they refine the exp…

delightful

The Visuals are not the greatest and the options are also not great.

there's no animations, no self voice acting, not even an AI voice option, it has tons of dialog and questions leading up to and during the sex scenes, if you're the type that likes a lot of reading and questions then this game is for you, don't get me wrong some of it was funny but just couldn't get into it
