Only positive thing was that some of them do have some decent scenes/scenarios involved. I don't recall anything really standing out but it's there.Įndings are seriously lacking but that was to be expected with this dev's formula for most of his games and they're generally presented one by one in off-ramp fashion progressively throughout that latter half of the game. Music and sounds are in the game as well and I'm pretty neutral on the utilization of those aspects. I will say I appreciated some of the nice "finishes" in some of them though. There are some that are genuinely good hot scenes but they're the exception more than the rule. Certain characters also just have way more than needed while others not enough. The sex scenes in general get pretty repetitive and boring themselves. File optimization is better than in previous games but some of the earlier videos are larger size than they needed to be there so at least there's progression in that department as well. So one step forward, two steps back from my perspective. Then again, some of those animations were actually a bit better than a lot in this game and I prefer a nice series of good renders over sub-par animations. I guess it's come a long way from Lancaster Boarding House as well where there were mostly a series of still renders with usually one really usually out of place seeming animation per scene. I will give the dev some credit in this department for improving the animations a bit towards the end of the game. They're mostly very short looped clips with mechanical movement and poor physics (things do move a bit as the characters do but not in a natural or satisfying way most of the time). Animations aren't great but I've seen worse. If you've played the dev's previous games (or even any other games, really) these likely sound familiar and they're not much different here. Again, this was a game with supernatural creatures abounding and yet a good amount of the time it completely disregards this while you're doing exciting and innovative things like going for a walk, going to the lake, playing hide and seek, picking up food at the convenience store, having a party, etc. Non-sexual interactions/events in general were extremely bland and generic (some seeming to be almost directly reused from the dev's previous games). Even if most of the girls look great the poor writing and characterization ends up making them less attractive than they likely should be. I'd say what I ended up remembering most about the girls was a combination of their basic personality types and if any of their lewd scenes were any good or not. I thought Lemon was going to be an interesting departure from the norm with how she's set up but despite liking her there was just so much wasted opportunity in her character that even she couldn't save this game for me. To the game's credit, the LIs are attractive and likeable but most are also extremely generic/cliched and lacking in anything beyond pretty basic characterization and development of what their kinks are. So I knew what to expect and yet I was still let down more than expected with this one. I'd played Lancaster Boarding House and the Pine Falls (both from this dev) previously and I felt like each one, while still extremely mediocre, had some aspect to them that was a saving grace and at least didn't overstay their welcome. It started to feel like a chore to actually get through this game despite being quite linear. Any of those interesting aspects end up getting resolved way too quickly and easily while the game continues to shamble on from one extremely typical situation to another. This is very typical boarding house scenario game 90% of the time with rarely anything interesting coming out of the occult aspect. I have no idea how one takes a story with vampires, witches, and a ghost and makes it this boring. I played this game around Halloween looking for something easy to digest with some sort of occult theme.
