The level of detail is impressive, as the developers have crafted breathtaking visuals that enhance the overall immersion.

Information collection is stuck upto 80 % please help
So many incredible characters in this. Lilith, Swansong, Marie, Silver, Rayne, Brandon even, … I mean, I have to admit that even Invictus was done just so well. Each are unique with their own qualities and observer can admire. — Were they any characters I wasn’t impressed with?! I can’t think of any atm; I will have to play again to see. Don’t make the mistake of judging things too quickly… too often you’ll find it to be in error. Such good scene work. And the subtle expressions…! The writing. The story that keeps blindsiding and throwing you, again and again. The atmosphere and moments the amazing music helps create… — I’m even thinking I’m going to have to play the whole thing from start to finish again, to observe it all over with what I know now. Some things may niggle you–back burner them; wait and see.
And the end…man. Well done, I have to admit I even got chills. Good lord. And is that the End, End? Or the end of a major chapter of this story. I mean, it can end here, leaving one to wonder and wonder–but I also want to know what happens in the future of here! I mean, we know there is a story of something that comes next between what Marie may become and what Caleb may become too! — Which I really want to know! Zero End…maybe I can hold hope in the name.
Man. What a ride. That’s better than most movies. — Nicely done.
Pros:
Story – A : The writer has clearly created a broader mythos for this world that it’s not clear they’re going to deliver on, but the general story is very engaging and the world they’ve developed feels real, interesting and threatening.
Characters – A : MC is an edgy know it all stereotype, but the story leans into that. Side characters all fit into patterns, but are all great and interesting all the same.
Writing – A+ : Everything in the story is elevated by the writing, from the characters to the plot. Worth reading for the writing alone, tbh.
Cons:
Relationships: Not much, at this point, unless you go with .
Updates: pretty long (no surprise).
Animations: ok. Not great.
Overall: Very good. Not worth getting into if you want sex scenes immediately, but the story is really good, and the writing ensures the wait will pay off. Worth investing in.
A good game with well-done scenes and interesting story. Not changing the MC name is a red herring don’t play this game like a self-insert porn game but a story with some porn in it.
So not a game at all, just a boring ass book… no thanks
cant use my own name wtf i want to be the one fucking the girls
get in real life u sissy
New update is out
It looks like episode 2 is out.
Code pigpen cypher?
waste of time. how is this game 95%? bought scores because I really don’t know.
This is a VN where erotic content takes second seat to the story. It’s an interesting story to follow, I enjoyed following it so far; this first chapter. It’s all done well. Great music. True, the initial women are not that alluring (although I liked Rayne and went with her), wait til you get to Swansong… That girl is smokin’. Evil, but smokin’. And there’s another mysterious women revealed at the end of the chapter, and she could be great too, if the dev handles her right.
Can we get a tag for mystery? I like detective games.
The only thing i can say is BIG POTENTIAL
you said other words too tough
so you’re playing an edgelord magician virgin smoker who has to pick between used up sluts and whores of the human and non-human variety and YOU have to commit to only ONE since it doesn’t have a harem path. Currently the Succubus is the most delusional one. i mean she literally has been ran through and expects ‘to go on dates, hold hands and shit’ because she too wants to be loved. Typical modern woman delusions that also have been ingrained into many men’s (DEV) minds. Only played the 1st day and lost the interest to pursue the LIs. Dunno how the other ones are though (Cocaine Fairy and Studenbody representative).
Damn, you saved my time. I almost downloaded it.
Thank you for commenting. I was getting pretty hyped about this after reading the Editor’s Rating. I HATE games where you simp over a slut. Sluts and prostitutes are not my thing. It’s okay if others are into that but eww. Sluts deserve losers. And, I don’t see the point of playing a game where the MC is a loser.
bro youre a slut for playing a vn game, except youre so bad you cant even get a real girl.
Correction he’s so bad he doesn’t even realize how much of a slut he is for playing VNs, if that wasn’t enough he also thinks he so cool calling others losers cause he just likes fine pussy, yeah right that’s why you play this games PUSSY
GHEY
See my reply to his post. This idiot admitted to not even getting past day 1. There are plenty of other women with more to come.
He didn’t even get to SELINA for fuck’s sake. He’s unqualified to comment.
The problem is, you have to have a BRAIN to enjoy this one. The story is deep and complex. And there ARE plenty of hot women; you don’t have to stick to either of the two close friends you develop.
This anonymous shit poster clearly possesses subpar intelligence. Anyone with even a reasonable amount of intellect should try this game.
I’ve played probably 40 AVN’s and this one is easily in contention for #1 for me as of version 2.4d
hahahaha, what a fucking loser typing all that bullshit out, hahaha
Damn dude I didn’t know incels even found imaginary women with high body counts triggering.
says the cuck faggot

Sucks you can’t change the MC name. Unless you’re named Caleb, this gonna annoy you a lot during the whole gameplay.
this shit feels like a self insert from the author when you’re not allowed to change the MC’s name.
Well, remember that scene where the MC (Caleb) was solving the clues that his ex left for him? The images used there should be enough reason why the dev isn’t allowing us to change MC’s name.
WHO THE FUCK CARES, im not playing as some faggot I can’t name.
Please give us android link
