Editor's Rating
Story - "By Justice or Mercy" embarks on a revenge tale that, while leaning on some well-trodden clichés, manages to carve out a niche of its own. The protagonist isn’t just a handsome figure in distress; thankfully, he’s got some common sense to navigate the murky waters of his choices. The Love/Corruption routes add layers to the narrative, offering both depth and divergence. - 78%
Visual - Oh, the visuals! They are a standout feature that dazzles the eye without veering into the uncanny valley of “glazed rubber doll syndrome.” This game showcases a commendable variety of character designs, showcasing different body types and faces that feel refreshingly real. The modeling is impressive for an early release, with a vibrant palette that makes the world feel alive—kudos to the devs for their efforts. - 90%
Engagement - Engagement-wise, "By Justice or Mercy" hits a few snags. The dialogue swings from sharp and sophisticated to the realms of teenage drama, which can throw the pacing off. Many players found themselves feeling a bit rushed, especially due to the short nature of the sex scenes. While there’s promise in the branching paths, streamlining dialogue could enhance emotional connections and add weight to choices. - 70%
Core Loop - The core gameplay loop has yet to fully lock in players. Enthusiastic exploration and decision-making are encouraged, but they sometimes lead to less fulfilling moments due to the lack of sustained content and character development. The short sex scenes feel a tad fleeting, leaving a sense of wanting more depth and narrative build-up. Refining this loop could create a more satisfying cycle of engagement. - 66%

Gay grooming game with untagged trans faggots.
y MC look like Frankenstein monster?
Well, you can tell the Dev is a liberal–with all the trans and gay stuff. And obligatory racial diversity is here, you know, for virtue signaling and political correctness. Thankfully, the weirdest stuff, like the trans, gay and waterworks is avoidable. Also, the women are each avoidable. But I hope you like Asians, because two of them are half the content, so far. Personally, I didn’t mind; because it was done well enough.
The VN is well done, despite the MC being a beta-male; it’s not in-your-face beta-bad, and we’re even given some alpha-male choices, which is surprising and good. There is a definite story here, and an enjoyably unique one. The Dev also is able to craft some erotic dialog and scene setups, so that’s good as well. — Wish he was better at female tits, though; often they are hangers w/ ugly nipples. Well, so far–we’ll see if they get better. I don’t remember any animations or music/audio. I like the interplay between the characters too. Each has their own unique personalities.
Looking forward to seeing the next update.
It’s not bad, but the busy interface is going to require lots of programming which will most likely get the game abandoned.
The project will turn into a statement of thoughts that domination is evil and they are all assholes -_- well, this is already visible in the plot, which is very strange if a person is an asshole, even if he dominates or not!
It’s always surprising when the dominant plot immediately the main character behaves like an asshole. What does dominance have to do with it?
The system of prescribing relationships is simply disgusting! It’s impossible to prescribe until you know the plot, and the standard ones are even worse!
