From Another World

I gave the game a full year to improve. Graphics are great, optimization is better, and I like the physics and characters. But I finished all current content in just 5 minutes. The "new" animations are only NPC scenes in the heat room (as noted in the changelog), and the main girls disappear afterward. I'm not paying $15 for more of the same in the VIP lounge. Verdict: Disappointing .

I contracted aids in the first 5 minutes of gameplay and decided to spend my time playing something with some polish and without scenes jumping all over the place. Many of the camera positions during talking are way off and you just see the chin and some random background.

This is a stand alone Unreal Engine adventure game by itself. There are things to do, places to go, missions to accomplish and characters to interact with in specific ways. I have not played the 'mini-games' as of yet, but they should be fun as well. I'm not sure why this isn't more popular as you are an employee of a future version of "Dollar General" Your boss has a crush on you, your roommates like the idea that you're employed because they don't seem to ever have any money and since you're the new guy, you get to hear all of the secrets that everyone has about each other, so would you spill it to Elise if it means that she'll make out with you on the couch or do you keep the secret and keep that integrity?

24/02/25 tl;dr this needs to cook a lot. There's a lot both right and wrong with this game's bones atm- it has pretty bad pacing even if you follow the walkthru, the map design actively obscures certain important areas like the place where you activate h content, and the day+time based events that must be unlocked in a specific order adds to the unintuitive feeling of the game. Also to be clear, the performance and technical aspects (there are graphic no settings or manual saves) really bring this down to unreal slop territory. There are definitely some positives. The ambiance is good and the girls are all hot and their regular animations are pretty fluid and good. After around one hour of messing around however there was never any sex , so I have no idea how that works out. Yep there's your positive lol. So why a 3? For encouragement. The game itself is a 2, but I think there is a certain amount of intent behind the creator's choices that deserves some leniency to see what comes of them. At first I wanted to give it a 4 for effort- then I found out the easily accessible "night club" content is patreon gated, and later I missed a trigger for continuing the "main" chain of events and I'd need to play thru a full week of nothing or press skip and sit thru fadeouts for 10 minutes at the bed to try to get it to happen again. I think rn this isn't worth anyone's time because of the pacing, but the following would change that: - Ability to skip time anywhere - Ability to save manually to different slots (maybe keep the 3 most recent autosave slots too) - Highlight characters in some way when they have an unseen interactions
