Editor's Rating
Story - The story of New Horizon, while conventional, manages to keep the player interested to some extent. It certainly has its flaws, with constant flashbacks and an abundance of anime tropes that are hard to ignore. The writing, though average to good, does fall victim to certain cringe-worthy moments that could have been better handled. - 61%
Visual - One undeniable strength of New Horizon lies in its stunning renders. The attention to detail and craftsmanship put into the character designs is commendable. The LI characters, in particular, shine with their attractive appearances. However, reliance on default HS2 poses, while understandable at times, does detract from the overall visual experience. - 82%
Engagement - Engagement is a crucial aspect of any game, and sadly, New Horizon struggles in this area. The game adheres too firmly to the kinetic novel format, providing minimal choices for players to influence the narrative. This lack of agency can leave players feeling detached from the overall experience. While the music does an adequate job of setting the mood, it fails to stand out as something remarkable. - 52%
Core Loop - The core loop of New Horizon revolves around progressing through the story and experiencing different situations. However, the flawed execution hampers the overall effectiveness of the core loop. The presence of random and disconnected events, such as the ignored flashbang, diminishes the sense of logical progression and immersion. - 40%

First, Dev it’s NEVER a good idea to start with a disclaimer not to take everything seriously. That only tells me as the player YOU’RE not taking ANYTHING seriously.
Second, The current main girl – I forget her name – literally threatens MC with death; blackmails him for no reason, and when he gets justifiably pissed when she implies she knows about his father’s disappearance her goon squad restrains him. NONE of that is okay. At all. Especially when you make her outright offended that he doesn’t automatically accept her apology. He SHOULDN’T. If someone threatened to kill you; and gave you no reason to think that they couldnt – would you take I’m sorry just because she has a nice pair of tits and some decent curves??? I sure as fuck wouldn’t. At that point, whatever her sob story, she can piss absolutely right off. Forever. This is what I mean about taking things seriously. Some of it HAS to be. Since you introduce VERY serious topics. If you can’t be bothered, the players may tap out. I almost did. More than once.
Third – what the hell is the point of him having an ex girlfriend who’s listed in the cheat section as still being a LOVE INTEREST? She’s in the game for like what, one scene? The best friend character goes on WAY too long about being the best friend when she clearly DOES NOT want to be. Megumi isn’t even on the list, and I do NOT understand why. For that matter you’ve introduced several new characters I will hope are added to the list. Hina, the Engineer. Her twin, The Queen (who may not be the queen – and the actual queen when we do meet her) * A list of the girls that will be romanceable and KEPT without having a mod for a “cheat” screen would also be nice. Helps keep track of actual progress, and clarifies which characters are actually IMPORTANT.
– There’s the super power thing that’s tied to a neural chip… having a cool down on it, and making it seem like that can’t be improved or he’ll never get more powers than that, is BULLSHIT. If this is going to be a harem, and I think it’s shaping up to be – especially because as mentioned it has similarities to Eternum (though I REALLY did not like how MC was treated by one of the girls in that game, so I never bothered downloading after one particular scene made me rage quit) it can and probably should be one – then you DO NOT get to make all the girls STRONGER than the MC. That’s not even about not taking everything seriously; no girl wants to fuck a guy who’s noteably WEAKER than she is. They will NOT respect him. Jesus.
– Also I would remove the smoking elements entirely; or at least put an option in the game to remove smoking if the player doesn’t want to see that. It’s never been attractive to me, I have lost family to cancer and everyone in my family has smoked at some point. Except me. So it does nothing for me, and I’m not the only one that feels that way. More player options are never a bad thing, and it wouldn’t be that much more work to remove one unnecessary element from some few scenes.
I am hoping at some point pregnancy will be a thing; and I don’t at all like talk of contraceptives. IF a girl wants you that badly, she’s not going to be rational like that. Most guys will want to come inside; and you can ALWAYS ask for player input with a binary choice of: Yes or No, do you want to see pregnancy content? Once that’s done, it’s not an issue. Because it’s also a part of investing in developing relationships. It doesn’t have to be immediate, and barring bad luck on a first time, it really shouldn’t be. But again, this is another thing that has to be taken SERIOUSLY. Or not done at all, WITHOUT mention of contraceptives. If you can play up “superpowers” then fuck reality. In any context. Hows that for not taking anything seriously? [Yes, that comment really did irk me]
I’ll give this a few more updates, but you need to stop blue balling the player on points with all of the girls, Miharu or whatever you named the best friend didn’t even get ONE point until about half way through the fucking current story. And STOP threatening him, by any girl that’s actually interested in fucking him, or trying to get him killed. He’s not going to be able to solve X bullshit conspiracy politics heavy plot you’re trying to build, or save anyone if he’s DEAD. So just don’t be a complete dick. He’s the MAIN CHARACTER. You kind of need him to drive the story. Really, REALLY basic concept. I almost tapped right out the moment Queen put a gun to his head – That’s RAPE you dumbass. At that point I don’t even know why you bothered with the condom. If she’s ballsy enough to think she can literally threaten to kill him if he doesn’t fuck her with his actual love interest nearby; I don’t think she’d care about whether she’d pop out his bastard in 9 months. Besides, a few scenes later you shot her… so she probably would have miscarried regardless.
The weird lipped girl did NOT need to be added to the game. Nor did the computerized girl in MC’s head. Those dreams are getting annoying, and if the nude/bound girl doesn’t end up being main girl’s long lost sister, it’d probably floor me. She better not have been abused as it’s semi implied… or you obviously DON’T have a problem with FORCED pregnancy. Because I doubt whoever’s holding her captive has cared about birth control pills or condoms. Just, DO NOT go there. Also, if MC does manage to pull off saving her and she IS who I think; he gets BOTH sisters. No arguments, no drama. To me, not going there would be a deal breaker for how much of an albatross you’ve made her as a crux in the story. Which is intriguing enough now to make me want to see where you take HIS development. Not just with the girls. With the powers, the combat, the EVERYTHING. That, you can take as a compliment.
y all girls look same?
renders look good, you can tell some real effort went into this one. but i’d like this game a lot more if all the women didn’t look like clones with different haircuts.
I loved different appearence of boys too.
Good game for us my twin brother.
lol what
you would like a game if it had a lot of gay dicks flopping around
This one is good, it reminded me of Eternum. I think this’ll do well moving forward. Its been a while since I’ve posted, hope everyone is doing well, good luck on all your jobs, exams and/or whatever you need to accomplish! – random, ik, just wanted to spread some positivity.
Much better than the review rating suggests.
Absolute gem, 10/10.
2-3 sex scenes, and not very good quality and a LOT of TEXT!
Untagged cuck garbage and a weak simp MC, a true trash game for losers.
Just throwing that out there for those who are interested in playing real games so you don’t waste your time in this sissy beta cuck bullshit like I did.
Projecting much?
“this sissy beta cuck bullshit like I “
Hello teabaggermike under somebody elses name, how nice of you to still be wasting oxygen instead of spawning flies.
Suck my black dick nigga.
Careful there. We have teabaggermike in the house, and we wouldn’t want him to get excited at the future prospects of performing fellatio.
You have a goldfish brain you do not have the right to comment on any game .
The knowledge you have doesn’t imply anything related to this game.
The editor must have been you in how hard (but you are a limp dick) so soft is more like it.

This MF spawned from wrong hole.
LOL you’re a lying sack of shit there is no NTR in this so you never played this like you said you did try harder next time you whiney little fuck boy
rancor’s definition of “NTR” is when anybody who isn’t him has sex with a woman, so he’s basically getting cucked all day every day at all times. it’s hard life being such a victim all the time.
alfas cuck themselves so bad
