Really fun game to play with friends and with a push for accessibility options and constant fun and interesting updates the game is for sure a must buy!

TLDR; If you liked Hotline Miami you should play, if not you should for the amazing art and cohesive feel of all the lewd scenes and story.

For a 1 person porn game this is easily a standout game. I loved the hotline Miami games an to have a haunted west aesthetic added to it with i think a pretty good story line to boot it is a complete package.

GAMEPLAY
I think it all works well enough, the character feels a bit slow and melee can often just not connect which feels incredibly punishing despite not feeling like your own fault of gameplay. The slow down time and gun-play felt pretty decent despite sometimes being shot by an enemy the split second it came around the corner. The main issue i had with melee reload and restart level was that because those buttons were so close together and sometimes your in the panic to reload i would press T instead of R which is right next to it, restarting the level... you can see how that would be an issue. Rebinding controls would be greatly appreciated due to the amount of times i almost completed a stage and then pressed T by accident.

MUSIC
Maybe it's just my personal taste but when i saw the trailer and heard the western music i was ecstatic to hear the rest of the sound track. I was a bit thrown off by the rest of the soundtrack not playing at all into the western theme. I understand just because its cowboys doesn't mean it needs to be all banjos and guitars but i was a bit disappointed. This is nothing to say the soundtrack is bad, these songs are good but just not what i was hoping for in a gun slinging wild west.

STORY
I liked the story, and it felt competently written. Having the character on a clock made the finale feel more complete, the villains having their own goals and the type of creature they resurrected as playing into their own faults felt really cohesive. Characters didn't feel like blow up dolls waiting to be interacted with, i get this comes with the game having a heavy narrative focus but there felt like a lot of natural flow to everyone's arcs.

ART / LEWD
The art is genuinely stunning. All the cool and fun ways the resurrected look, the backgrounds, the story art it all just felt really pretty and nice to look at as you played and read through the game. There was also a lot of energy going through it, with the jagged shapely look of everything it felt like everyone was moving at a blazing pace which added to the gameplay style. The only thing i felt was lacking was the main action moments felt a little artistically removed from the story moments. I get that stylising tiled assets is not exactly an easy feat but it would have felt everything come together a bit better but it isn't like what is already here isn't good, i just feel like it could have been more.

The lewd art was good, some of it was not my cup of tea but that is kinda the point with lewd games. They kinda have to shotgun fetishes in hopes to hit something you will like and it was successful in that. The writing for the lewd scenes paired well with the art and as with most of this game it felt really well done and didn't detract from the story or feel. It was especially nice to swap to other characters perspectives to get a lewd scene rather than shoehorning a lewd scene because you lost or something like that. The lewd scenes felt fun and kept the flow of the story going.

With the teaser at the end I very much hope for a sequel following following zephyr lily getting lewd and fighting crime in the big city. Keep up the good work!

I love this game, it's so calm and relaxing and yet it the sense of dread and fear is constantly making you look over your shoulder just as a cosmic horror should do. It has amazing style and the story is great. I loved this game as a horror fan who is not so much into the big scary jump scare and more into the un-easy dread that creeps in and slowly makes you more and more unsettled.

A come back to this game often as it can be a nice anchor every once in a while. I love collecting resources and amassing large amounts of certain things so that i can just buy things out and this game rewards me heavily for wanting to do so. Combined with just a generally fun and diverse game play (although not the most diverse it does a pretty good job for what it is) and a minimal style allowing for even low systems to play makes this an easy buy on sales and a plausible sales not on sale. Plus it goes so cheap on sale and has free weekends its just really nice.

I cried. Even after having to follow a walk through or two cause im super ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad at puzzles, this game still kept me hooked and interested and craving more. The game will catch you off guard and throw a cinematic curveball at you, it has a fully realized and fleshed out world with tons of documents to read, the gameplay is engaging and interesting constantly try to see if you can put the skills it teaches you to the test.

There is so little dialogue and yet so much emotion and history was conveyed so well, the game is able to just say so much with so little. There are little details that dont even add up to anything but they somehow interweave and allow you to solve most of the puzzles diagetically (in universe). The tone, holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ the tone, there was only 1 moment where the tone was off and it was for barely a scene. The whole thing had the most amazing atmosphere with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing art, Most doors are made clear even with slight isometric top down view. The menu's are done in a such a pretty and stylised way and yet are still able to be clear and functional.

I don't want to gush too long but omfg the story, it was clear from the start what the story was and yet i was still following every step with absolute attention and interest and the soundtrack only amplifies it. Certain songs play at such a perfect time and they remind me so much of the "Sympathy for" series so much i just. Please i beg of you, if you have any even the smallest interest in this game please go play it!

Although just a demo this is so much fun (although hard) i played it to as high a level as i could until i got powerful enough to feel somewhat overpowered and then stumbled upon the ending. This game takes what it was trying innovate upon and really ads upon it well.

a friend had told me about this game and how it was quite good for only 15 minutes, and that it was a "test for how well your headset could deal with tears" and i completly doubted him but was still curious thanks to the art style.

it %100 stands up to the standard it was put, i was in a call with said friend and another and i thought that would impead the emotional impact of it but they watched quietly as i enjoyed this 15 minute masterpiece and took in everything (as you should with VR) and like expected i cried. This game is so emotionally impactful and just generally a must have for such a short game.

A really cute and funny game that takes some of those games you see in ads and actually lets you play them, it also has a lot of fun and creative levels and has its challenging levels too. i would for sure recommend this to anyone who needs a good laugh. as soon as you think you understand the pattern it throws a wrench completely out of nowhere.

A all round good vr game. I really enjoyed the campaign (except some of the puzzles that wernt especially hard just annoying if you failed as you had to climb all the way back up) and found the combat/gameplay enjoyable. The physics engine demo feel was really interesting and unique especially with all the weird and wacky moments that for sure felt like a dev messing around. lots of unique items and secrets to find and more to play with a bunch of mini campaign like sandbox game modes.

At the time of writing this review I feel like I’m the only person who likes this game. It’s had too many controversies, it’s riddled with bugs, poorly optimised and some people saying it even looks bad artistically. I have seen and interacted with all these things in game and I am easily willing to admit they exist as I’ve seen them in the game. My pc can barely run the game smoothly nor well enough to render what’s infront of me if I jog out of the area I was in.

Having second wave home sickness hit like a freight train and being away from a place that is constantly critiqued and torn apart for what a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ (crappy [in case it gets censored]) state it’s in can obviously be heart breaking especially when their all true and horrible to see happen in the world today. The game may not feel the same for you but the state it’s in kills me when it just keeps getting torn further and further apart as it feels like an attack on me even though the comment has nothing to do with me, there’s no winning either, if I defend it I feel like a racist or I just let it go on I feel like I’m only adding to the fire and these things feel the same for the country I call home.

Yeah this game is probably garbage and I’m probably garbage for liking it but driving in a car on a large open highway with the radio on in the pouring rain just gives me just a little hope that the place I call home might change and be just as good as I remember it being and not the political hellscape it is, like this game.

I feel like I’m home again
