Gotta be honest, I got to Day 10 and I don't really have any desire to play more.
It's already clear that there's no real story, just slice of life and talking with characters.
The problem is that the world, characters, etc. aren't really good enough to maintain the interest in the game on their own, and there's not much else to it.
And the drink mixing is as tedious as it can possibly be, there's not even a mini-game or anything.
I wish the devs all the best in their next endevours but I'm not digging this one, sorry. The VNs are only as good as the writing, and it's obvious that this one was written by a person with not much experience
>inb4 nice blog
The devs read /v/, might as well read my irrelevant criticisms
>>342627150
I think you don't understand.
I'm not saying that it's some DEEP ARTISTIC piece or anything, but it's clearly too much for you.
>>342627150
Nice blog
>>342627693
I'm pretty sure it's the opposite, my problem is that it's simply not enough for me in terms of both content and the, uh, depth of the characters.
>>342627150
some one needs to get good
>>342627860
From what you've written it looks like you don't even get the fundamental idea behind it.
>>342628015
>the fundamental idea behind it
Which is?
Like I already said, I haven't finished the game because I can't be assed to continue. Feel free to post any spoilers
>>342627150
Don't bother, if you try to say anything negative about this game you will get either of those replies:
"Play the game" or "It's supposed to be like that, don't take it seriously"
If you even try to mention that there are too many memes and references in this game they will throw some shitfit because they will realize the game has as much memes as undertale but it's targeted to 4chin instead of reddit so it's ok.

But dorothy is le funny ex dee, perv robot and shit!
>>342628253
>le ironic criticism, i'm so cool and smart!
>>342628183
>It's supposed to be like that, don't take it seriously
As much as I hate to admit it, most of the fault I can find are clearly intentional.
The mixing system being tedious, it's supposed to feel like work.
You not actually seeing anything of the world, that's the point, you're nobody special, you're literally a shitposter with a dead end job.
The characters are developed over time, giving up all there is to them would take away the only reason to play at all.
The memes, well, considering there is a shitty website just like that one you are visiting right now, it doesn't feel out of place. Obviously it pandering to you makes it more bearable.
>>342627150
anyone got a download for the prologue?
>>342628849
>The mixing system being tedious, it's supposed to feel like work.
Papers Please also feels like work, while being pretty fun to play.
The only thing that matters is the player's time. Wasted time is wasted time, not matter what it's "supposed" to feel.
>You not actually seeing anything of the world, that's the point
>you're nobody special, you're literally a shitposter with a dead end job
These two things have nothing to do with each other. Even a nobody can look outside and see the world.
I don't find this a gaping fault because the artist was probably too busy drawing the character sprites to spend time on drawing the city, but then again, why are you even bringing it up
>>342628183
>as much memes as undertale
Undertale didn't have many memes.
>>342628849
The mixing is tedious because after a while it's just there so the game has any gameplay, you have a book with all the access to the recipes and instead of clicking on each ingredient you want to add like in prologue you need to drag it to the middle.
If the game toned down the references and had more art as in more backgrounds and story related pictures it would be much better.
The only good thing I can say about the game is the soundtrack and how they tried to recreate the PC-98 look.
You can add ingredients with Q W E R T instead of the mouse. It shouldn't take you longer than 5 seconds to serve a drink...
I think the real problem of the game is the lack of erotic CG's
Why the fuck would anyone play a subpar VN with no porn in it? it's even filled with waifus, even the MC is a slut waifu, and we don't get candid cutscenes with them changing clothes let alone full on fondling or penetration.
Even if it's a homage to pc-98 it should feature some hot lingerie shots and what not like they did back then. The res of the problems come from the writer being Latin and having to translate his shit to english, so obviously he is handicapped when doing his job. It's not a bad game, it's much better than the average indie crap I see on steam, but they need to get their shit together and re release it with adult content in some other platform.
>>342629912
I kinda agree with this, the game just make me want to play a real DOS vn.
>>342627693
spotted the dev
fuck off retard your game is a piece of shit
>>342628136
>Which is?
nothing, hes just spouting shit lmao
I didn't even realize this was supposed to be reminiscent of a PC-98 game before people mentioned it. It hardly looks like one at all.
>>342627150
Play Danganronpa instead. It's actually a good VN.
>>342630890
Already finished both, they're great
can we please see the fucking Jill thighs promo image in HD already
>make the hottest fucking MC
>give her "fuck me" eyes in the promo art
>conceal her face throughout the entire game, not counting chibi bullshit
for what purpose
>>342629912
I really hate this "VNs should have porn" mentality. I agree that the game has a lot of dirty talk, but that doesn't mean it should lead to a porn scene.
>>342627150
>being this bad at a VN
>>342630821
Quote from official website "Visuals inspired by old japanese adventure games for the PC-98, with a modern touch for an other-wordly experience."
Also that lack of colors and dithering makes it clear that it tries hard to be like PC-98 games.
>>342631184
Its the only real motivation for people like OP to go though boring VN shit.
I dont mind boring shit, I know weirdos who are really into Elite and Train simulator. I dont get why people like OP who aren't shitposting but actually trying to find complaints about something they were never interested in the first place. What did the Venezuelans do to you other than make a shitty game?
Fucking venezuelans, I hope their country collapses... oh wait
here we go again
>>342627150
My issue with the game is that I wanted a cyberpunk world with some anime aesthetics. Instead I got an anime world with some cyberpunk aesthetics, if that makes sense.
It makes poor use of its setting. Some characters are cool, like Anna and Dorothy, but they don't really do a lot with them. Dorothy is basically slutty robot until the very end when all of a sudden deep questions about her existence that are resolved as soon as they began.
I guess I was expecting more than a slice of life. Or perhaps more life than what was shown.
>>342629912
>hentai games will never look this cool again
>>342629912
H-scenes add absolutely nothing to VNs and are often times so out of place it's just cringeworthy.
Just go play a nukige and jack off.
Yeah, it's writing kinda meh so far for me. Especially dialogues, jokes are stupid most of the times, everything just screams "unnatural" usually. That's not how people talk. Not even is muh japanese anime, let alone in bars in some supposedly dark cyberpunk world. Very childlike. I could forgive silly setting, cringy 4chan references and threadshots, characters who are 20, 30 and even 40+ years old but still spew some shit like they are going through rebellious teenager phase, but wring doesn't do it for me so far. But I don't have anything better to play at the moment so maybe I'll stick with it. It's not bad for some game made by 2 third world dudes, it's actually very impressive in some aspects (especially art direction), but it doesn't deserve the praise and shilling it's been getting for the past couple of days.
>>342629912
Speaking of, anyone knows the sauce?
>>342633854
Google tells me Virgin Angel.
>>342627150
Stop shilling your game dev, you can't fool us.
But anyway yeah the game is complety trash. The writing is terrible, repetitive (LMAO dude sex xD) and filled with memes. You get good looking characters, but that's about it. You don't get any deep view of them or whatever. To one point it makes sense, you're just a bartender doing your job, but the problem is the game doesn't offer anything else interesting making it more a minus than a plus.
And since we're talking about characters, on the surface the game looks really pretty but as said before most of the characters are extremly boring and repeteat each other more than once.
If most of the characters had more original things to say then maybe, and only maybe, the sex bot would be actually be interesting to a low degree.
And well yeah gameplay sucks and I'm too lazy to write more, it's 2am dammit.
By the way, anyone know who the artist of these sprites is? I doubt anyone from the shithole called Venezuela actually did those.
>>342628183
>Asks on steam what people think of the memes
>"Hurr durr wot memes stop h8ting m8 xD"
Someone seriously said those were "Call backs" of the creation of the game, like somekind of documentation
Is there a game like this but good?
>>342633335
>H-scenes add absolutely nothing to VNs
Aside from realistic human interactions.
There are very few serious relationships where both partners get up the day after the first time having sex and are exactly the same, shit happens during sex, shit that can matter.
Grisaia is a good example, Makina's route is gutted without her h-scenes, it's a pivotal point in the MCs character development moving from seeing her as a frail animal to protect, to a partner with mutual support, that happens in the middle of their first h-scene and it is just gone in the Vita version, the sex is implied and all the development that happens during it is thrown out.
There is an entire route that's just constant SoL and sex and then the MC finds outit was all pity-fucking because she blamed herself for his sister's supposed death
That is supposed to reflect just as much on the player, it's one thing to learn that these things that apparently happened on screen were for pity, it's another thing entirely to learn that scenes that you enjoyed, got turned on by, or even fapped to were allforced and out of guilt
Just because the garbage VNs you've played have tacked on H-scenes doesn't mean they are inherently worthless.
>>342635172
Sadly no

Let's see
>Mary Sue protag
>Fags and dykes everywhere
>little to no gameplay
Nah. Fuck off.
Also, nice blog.
>>342635457
>Aside from realistic human interactions.
>In VNs
Stopped reading there. Reality doesn't feature the handsome MC and the sudden appearance of a harem of heroines who suffer from all-over-dick syndrome.
>>342636671
That's called a plot device.
>>342636671
>If VNs have an unrealistic premise they can never have any single line of dialogue that is realistic
This game is total shit, why do people keep shilling it here?
all style no substance
some people should stick to the VN scene and not pretend they can design and program actual games
