Eh mayhaps? But it seems a bit of a narrative mess. Like, this game has a lot of potential as a nationbuilder, I'm not really interested in it for the 18+ stuff aside from as a bonus. The plague setup just seemed confused like the game wasn't exactly sure what story it was trying to tell. Maybe it makes sense from a specific route or after playing though all of them but... Maybe you're right that it shouldn't be removed/changed majorly but it definitely should be edited to be more consistent and/or thematic!
Well, regardless, I'll wait two years for development work to polish up the many cool facets of this game and maybe by that time the story will be more coherent
Review: This is difficult because this game is the absolute pinnacle of 'overwhelmed by ambition.' There's just so much game in this game! City management, servant/minion management, 39 seperate character statistics, a dozen potential retainers with complex relationships, another dozen major characters running various stores around the city, random events, fighting, minor npcs, gender/sexuality fcukery, monster transformations, art & visuals... There's so much!
The trouble is... There's too much for such a small team to manage & have it all become coherent... each character has their own storylines but a lot of the time they conflict, a character might be shy & reserved in their storyline, while enjoying a huge orgy in a the main storyline. A lot of the player character's stats either are never used or are completely invisible, & the system itself's opaque. Every servant has a list of stats but it's not explained what does what - nor is there a notification if one flees/quits for whatever reason. Again, it's just because this is so much content! Even without an 18+ concept there's a really great game here it just needs a dozen people's labor to make it function! Which makes it hard to criticize, because whoever makes this is going to need several more years & funding to bring out its potential!
So overall - it will become 5/5 stars after 3k future hours of work, the sexual content is diverse & will have something for everyone (even as of right now)
***The only actual criticism here.*** There's a major plot element that makes the whole theme of the game far worse: In the beginning, it's said that a strange epidemic began, causing people to become far more promisicous, immoral, and to start turning into monsters. Which is fine except the player's agency/role is described as being able to corrupt your city and/or major characters! So it cheapens any sort of theme/fetish/enjoyment you might get out of corrupting anything, it's not you it's just the sexgame plague. And it doesn't make sense for people to still be conservative or naive after there's already been 15 years of this plague going on! The game would simply be better if this narrative setup was removed entirely
Very good overall. Lots of content & variety, gameplay can be fun too, writing's not bad either. There's many, many options paths and several endings, but in a way where it's very easy to get all of the endings and not miss any content. The quality of life features are also very polished
If you like the description or pictures, you'll very likely enjoy this game a lot.
Several minor caveats: One, the game's large and doesn't run super well on potato laptops. Two, it can be a bit heavy on the maledom at times, just be aware. Three, there are some pretty dark endings/scenes - all of which are optional, so again, just be aware. Last, though the character writing is good the female body types/silhouettes aren't very varied which is a bit of a dissapointment. Overall, very small complaints
4.5/5 stars, very good, buy it if you're interested!

Review: Lewd game that's the definition of "Porn made for the Male Gaze." No other way to describe it. Illustrations are very, very well done but once you notice that you can't not think about it. Main character is not quite a sexist prick but not exactly super empathetic either. If neither of those bother you, would recommend.
Gameplay is both kinda mid/boring and extremely varied. There are puzzle, platform, action, combat, etc sequences so although many of the minigames may be moderately boring, the game is never *monotonous*.
There's a questlog, RPG system, and the smut scenes are saved in a gallery - all of which are very nice quality of life so I do appreciate it is far more polished than most NSFW games.
Overall, 2/5 rating. If the trailer/pictures turn you on, however, you'll very likely enjoy it because the art quality is consistently very good
Review: It's very fun, well-made, and polished despite its small scope. It appeals to a niche of both precision puzzle combat afficionados and slay-the-spire style roguelike with slow resource and ability accumulation.
It takes a suprising amount of micro and attention to detail, which is fun but new players may not expect, both more fun & engaging and less relaxing & simple than expected.
5/5 stars if you play the demo first to determine that it's the right game for you
Review: Very good & fun both in gameplay and lewd aspects. Would definitely recommend. However, too many blowjob/handjob scenes and no scenes with fingering or cunnilingus which is a major drawback and disappointment, especially with the 'slutification/bimboification' theme.
Content is quite well done & detailed, it seems the game is about 2/3rds done with 10/12 scenes done and some mechanics unused, so will be excited for the finished product next year. Money becomes somewhat meaningless late game though the budget is quite tight early game, some luxury purchases would be rewarding
Lack of female pleasure scenes take it from 5 stars to 3 stars, but hopefully that will fixed with the last third of the game :D
3/5 stars, high chance for 5/5 next year~
Review: Very good bones for both a game and story. Needs a lot more content for all the characters and gameplay, but all of the features are there already and quite polished. The gameplay, quest-style, mind control, and relationship progress are all good, the character design is high quality as well and even a bit unique. Would definitely recommend it even though it's incomplete, once it's finished or has more content i will definitely pay for the final version.
@developers, however, I'm very dissapointed you guys wasted a large amount of effort on the 'Breast Size Expansion.' The love interests already have very large breasts, and you could've spent that time & money on writing more story, scenes, or characters instead
Review:
First, avoid if you're impatient. The slow-burn story isn't the issue it's very good, but the emoticon animations and transitions are very slow and increases playtime by at least 30%. Gameplay's otherwise fine
Second, for those interested in the lewd story, it's pretty unique. It's the first erotic game that's not *maledom* but *patriarchal*. Your POV character is pretty kind & wholesome, but the world and most of the sex scenes are very ... male focused? Women being subservient to men and bent to their desires? Reinforces a male-dominated worldview? Unique. If you're into seeing a woman being conquered and manipulated it may be very hot to you. However, our POV character isn't doing this, so you don't get to self-insert into an m-dom fantasy, but you also don't experience any personal guilt for your choices in it either.
The character writing is good, worldbuilding is sufficient, no quality complaints.
The 'cheating' in this game, I don't understand why people are sensitive to it, but it's much more *woman has a crush on Main Character, but is seduced/taken by a different man,* little actual infidelity if you're bothered by that for whatever reason
It's all pixelart, so the sex scene / animation quality is necessarily limited. The writing during many of the sex scenes is very well done and sexy, especially if you're into the fetishes mentioned above.
Overall, up to taste, though ~12% of players will probably get addicted if it reaches their specific fetish.
A top tier game! Very fun & engaging characters and story - worldbuilding is good too. Obviously great for anyone bi or who appreciates trans women - but even if that's not what you're into i'd still recommend it on the character chemistry alone. A long list of kinks (extreme and common) are explored both tastefully and uniquely - the doll scene with Olivia was mindblowing and nothing I've ever seen before.
Artstyle is cool & cyberpunk, character designs are great. Would like more detail on the main casts' images but that's a lot to ask for.
Only real complaint is that it's pretty much mouse-only so the act of playing it is kind of annoying - wish it had better support for arrow keys and enter/spacebar and not having to click everything
Also, try out the demo but get the patreon version - it's not expensive and has tonsss of good content.
98/100
Quite a good college-life simlulator - different majors, part time jobs, huge variety in student body, rewarding skill increases. Writing is quite decent with the Named Characters which are all pretty good - it's a big shame there's not yet enough content with all of them. Sex scenes are really detailed with lots of position option it's pretty unique. If you're looking for a enjoyable college sim with plenty of sex, this is the game for you. If you're looking for something with many more darker kinks & more content then try Degrees of Lewdity~
