Animation: Well crafted and a lovely cast of women. The drawing is good but some additional scenery would be nice, sometimes the game goes dark with just text. Story: Fun and mysterious, lots of secrets to uncover right now but…

Love the art, love the Mexico setting. Decent writing, fun characters. All around a really promising start to the game. I hope the artist draws assholes as good as he does asses. Butthole artistry is real lacking in this industry…

Fantastic art, distinct characters, engaging plot. The proportions and character designs are a little exaggerated, and I'm not a huge fan of the horse-cock on the main character, but it all fits into the same aesthetic You could not ask…
