Do you want smut? Or do you want pics? Because in this you get barely any of either. It's a shame that someone paid for this, and paid to contribute towards it, because it's such an empty shell of a game that it feels like the original alpha copy-pasted and adjusted slightly. They never seemed to examine the criticism the first build had, and have built a game on the same premise that's drastically underwhelming, which is a massive shame as this game had major potential.
There's 16 bad endings, and, like, none of them have more than like three paragraphs of text or more than a single picture. Every time you get a bad ending it feels like the text is leading up to a short story or more traditional bad end, but instead cuts off prematurely with a single picture without enough smut to get the job done, so to speak. There's no variations of pictures, there's no detail to the scenes, there's little exploration and elaboration of the endings, and there's not enough content beyond the pictures to justify a time investment into the game. The largest scene in the game is less than a thousand words, and most are less than two hundred. This entire rant alone is 379.
Not to mention the presentation is amazing, but in play it fucking sucks. Text is too big and comes in too slowly, the UI is slow even when holding ctrl, the mandatory slow down in transition effects destroys the pace, and the idea of going through the game multiple times for each ending or character archetype is a painfully drawn out experience, especially when there's no save or load feature - and so bad in deed that it was quicker for me to manually find out how to edit the save in order to see all scenes in the gallery without having to go through the game repeatedly. It's a shame to say that if this game was written in Ren'py it would play better. I hope in time they will refine and explore the concept, add some quality of life and develop the existing potential this game has, because it does have loads... Just.. A lot of the effort is being put into the wrong places.
