Bitter Harvest: A Revengeful Heart

Really glad this game didn't die. Interesting setup to the story so far. I like how the MC is forced straight into the spotlight but the well done flashbacks show how he was trained and somewhat eared his sudden control/power. For the females the only one so far with depth is the step-sister and the impending Yandere change seems inevitable and intriguing, especially considering the game seems to heavily change based on decisions. Biggest problem right now is that the game definitely needs some sort of official walkthrough, especially with not all routes being at the same pace. This is causing way too much confusion as seen in this thread where people don't know what specific decisions to make to access the actually updated routes.

[Ch.1 Act 1.5] I actually kinda like this . It's a fairly competent VN all around. Not much in terms of sexual content right now, or you know, any content for that matter, but what little there is, is pretty promising . Here are some complaints from me: ⚡ There is overall almost no intimacy or eroticism in existing sex scenes. Almost no buildup, it's like scenes are sort of shoehorned into the narrative to justify the "adult" part in "AVN". Also please remove the big ass "Next" button between sex animation loops, it kills the flow of the scene, thank you.​ ⚡ The freeroam sections feature interactive elements that aren't highlighted in any way, no outline, no markers, nothing.​ ⚡ Got nothing against thicc curves, but there's no body type variety, not a single petite girl. Even high schoolers have got balloon tits and oak-sized hips, not to mention milfs.​ ⚡ If you go to Chio's house, the game ends with "to be continued", while otherwise there is still half an hour of content to be explored. Not sure if this kind of branching is a good idea, when the entire VN is only a 2 hour read at the moment, but ok.​ ​ If the current quality standard is maintained and the game gets better erotic scenes in the future, I'd consider a 4/5 rating.

Good : I like MCs arc. (Sort of goes from not wanting to be involved in the syndicate to essential part of it due to situations out of his control and we see his journey/changes) Mafia setting/Plot is generic but nicely displayed (very badass too). Music/UI/Setting is done very nicely. Choices are meaningful Sandbox is done nicely Suggestions : Variable body sizes would be good. Renders could use a bit more polishing. H-scenes could use more intimacy and a bit of polishing for smoothness. Adding a phone where you can access gallery, texting etc. would be a plus! <3 I caught some spelling errors and grammatical mistake so maybe hammering those away. (I can see that you improved the prologue alot so I'm hopeful this will be the case moving forward). Verdict : Yep, play it. I rarely review early releases (and high rating for that matter) cuz they are so small but this game has a considerable amount of content and having played the original prologue and seeing the changes incorporated and fixed for act 1, it's clear that the dev is improving their skills so I'm excited for the next release!
