Just beware it's a visual novel

I got this game as part of a bundled discount here on GoG along with two other games that "is intended for a mature audience", but I missed to check that it's a visual novel, and so far, after 2 and a half hours of play, I haven't made a single decision that could split the storyline up. That could maybe be excuseable if the game was cheap as dirt originally, but that is before we even reach the characters. The main character is like in an old brittish comedy show, the only sane person in the room, surrounded by the most toxic women I can think of. One of the girls even works on the side to take money from men just to walk next to them and get paid to eat dinner with them, and when you threaten to kick her out for a breach of contract she is trying to bribe you with a free date, which ends with you drunk and her taking a picture of the phone, so blackmailing as well! Worst part? I didn't even get a choice. Then there's the god damned tsundere who constantly keeps trashtalking everyone except you (where she pretends to be the cutest 13 year old girl in the world despite being a grown woman) but secretly she wants them all to succeed with her! The story so far is bad, the characters are horrible and the price is a joke. I have gotten about 200 minutes out of the game and the player avarage seems to be just over 15 hours but I have no idea how they made it that far. I am not sure who this "game" is for because I can't even find something good so far, not a nip-slip, not an option, nothing!

Really good

The 18+ DLC is on the Denpasoft site for free. There is a download link when you first launch the game. This is one of the better VN I had read lately. The characters actually have personalities and the story is good. The english is decent as compared to others I have read. Its mostly a read a click. there some choices but don't expect a lot of choices. it seems like you will play out each ending as one of the girls being the center. I only finished one so far but will continue to see what happens when sasami is unlocked.

Helplessly trapped

The low number of stars for this story is because it's being represented as a Visual Novel. It isn't. The correct term is "Kinetic Novel." A kinetic novel (KN) uses the same layout and often the same software as Visual novels, but the story is a single, linear path, not a branching storyline where you make choices. There's nothing wrong with that - after all when you sit and watch a movie, you understand that you can't alter the plot. The visuals are well drawn, and the music is cheerful and inoffensive. Unfortunately I don't like any of the characters, and lacking choices, experiencing (I wouldn't say "playing") this story feels like being trapped in office hell. I've only made it an hour into this story, so perhaps there may be a choice further down the line. If so, let me know and I'll amend this review. But for now, I cannot recommend this, even heavily discounted.
