Golden Hours

Enormous amounts of exposition with limited/no interaction. It keeps you either reading through a lot of text worrying it is useful or skipping it all, leaving you unengaged. A bit less heavy on the text driven narrative in the begining would be nice. Unplayable on mobile due to minimal text size in menus. Graphics looks decent. Campy feeling with classic point &click style.

COMMENTS PROS: - See my opinions section for details. Visually decent, for the 2d cartoon type art style. MC looks fairly fine and the LIs are all "cute" and attractive. The world is nicely fleshed out, designed and detailed. Writing reads very nicely and is structured well with good grammar spelling and such overall. Dialogue is actually very good, has a lot of thought that went into it, clever quips, puns and intelligent humour, but...See Comments Animations are good for the art style, smooth but I found some very short. CONS: - See my opinions section for details. Some visual bugs Ill start off with, MC in one scene not removed and next scene overlaps. Cat floating above the table instead of sitting on it. Mini-games are a chore and not very intuitive, you may guess what could be needed and be relatively correct, but unless perfect its kinda a pointless and "unfun" chore. Dialogue can be a bit much sometimes, its not a bad thing, but sometimes I find myself skim reading a lot to actually try and get "progression" UX/UI is very basic and is lacking things like opacity settings for the dialogue bar, very basic but critical. Something that is either a bug, amiss and highly annoying is the black screen during lewd scenes, I noticed this with Riley once and then all lewd with Summer are black screens, not sure whats up with that but its an issue for sure... Progression is not very well designed, .e.g. its important to know whats available in terms of content else the player is just rinse repeating on everything but there is nothing new to unlock. Tags and stats are a bit confusing, there are no stats for e.g. pregnancy, the MC doesn't pull out, the tags say pregnancy, but how does it work? Where are the stats etc. There are also no clear stats of whats nets point and what doesnt. Its not implemented well. Per above point, choices feel kinetic, you don't have a choice in LIs, or sexual content e.g. creampie or not etc. OPINIONS, SUGGESTIONS & FINAL REMARKS: NOTE: The following remarks are my personal opinions and thoughts, which may provide more context and could be useful to the developer. (Read them or don't) WRT to the dialogue, its generally good but one issue that I find is that there are maybe a bit too many "clever remarks", not everything needs to have some clever retort, pun or witty comment attached to it. This happens especially during descriptions, again its not totally bad thing, but too much of a thing can be bad, there are moments when I feel its too much. Cute little game, clearly a lot of AI use, but its done well and I honestly complain about using any tool in your kit bag as long as its done properly, doesn't look fake etc. Clearly some effort went into this AVN, the work/crafting is a bit of a chore. I get creating a "game" sensation and not only having the VN part, but honestly, its seldom that I have found ANY minigames in AVNs decent enough to do it. Once, maybe twice then I want to skip it... Sexual, H-scenes so far are few and far between, also very short and abrupt, so much so you can almost miss them if not careful. Per above point on H-scenes, e.g. Riley with her toy scene, the animation is short and then cuts out to black screen with only dialogue, which carries on much longer than the scene itself, this is pretty disappointing and kills the scene/mood. A gallery system would be nice for unlocked scenes. SUMMARY (TLDR) : Overall this is actually a cute AVN, has some fun elements, minigames are fine once but after that skip...use the mod. Dialogue is probably the best. Visuals are decent for the style. There are some areas that need work but overall not bad.

Looks good but friends stay away. Besides the AI art(might not be AI, but it is AI looking) the story is filled to the brim with non sense that break the pace of the scenes. Oh! and the scenes are pay walled... so, it is a pass for me.

This game is a great time sinker. I have some issues with sandbox games where it gets too confusing and there is a lot of "fake exploring" but I love that this sandbox part is pretty straightforward. Quests are simple and to the point and the LI are gorgeous. I liked how the game looked before but I think it looks even better with the new remake they did on the graphics. Mayor and Summer are super hot. Animations are also a big plus and really well done. I want to see this game finished!

This is my first time testing an AI game. What gets me thinking is if not only the art is AI but also the code is and dialog is. While the art is fine, a good enough, the faces bothers me a bit. As during sexual animations their facial expressions looks hilarious and not aroused. It also bothers me the most of the faces of the characters still look the same. All the girls has the same eye shape, the same eyebrows and the same smile. The main character meets several men who all seems to look remarkably alike also. What I like Good enough artstyle and graphics Good animations Kind of fetching story What bothers me Lacking variations in the small details in the character designs non-stop looping for no reason. How many times do I need top purchase a repair kit and repair the motel? The sexual tension is not there as it never even builds up. So much text which at times is not coherent.

Honestly, I don't mind the art style. I'm very willing to cut slack for that, especially if it is a lone dev. In fact, I probably prefer this over Daz3d. The problem is the writing. I know that style, I know where that came from, and I do not like it. Clearly *some* attempt has been made to clean it up and make it sound more human but... it still grates. For a game that is this text-heavy, it really should have been handwritten or not bothered with at all. It gets very irritating after only a few minutes, and it absolutely sucks the life out of all of the characters.

Few highlights and observations (v0.5): I personally enjoyed the script/writing - it is excellent, with a kind of warmth, humour and honesty absent from many games of this genre. While the writing quality was excellent, it is a bit much in some areas, which slow the flow of the game down a bit (but that's just personal preference). Models are well done, and animated scenes well made.

Mini games. Sucks balls. Need I say more? Patreon blocked content. Blocked!!!!!! Content!!!!!! Need I say more? Poor sex scenes with poor animations. Ummm bad sex scenes!!!!! Need I say more? CAN"T FEED THE DAMN CAT past a certain point. Have food can't use it. Need I say more? Constantly dropping reputation meter even with improving relation meters. Sort of deflating. Feels as though the player is punished for having sex in this parody game. And the sex is not really worth it. Tommy odd job dries up so you can't earn any money at it and Riley od job makes little sense. Once you get the hotel maxed out it replaces the need for either. Giving this a one star feels more like a mercy fuck than a reward. Come on, Uncle Buck? You could not come up with something better than that? What an insult to Uncle Buck. By the way I quit playing at the very first content blocked notice. It already was falling flat and not being able to see it all was ample reason to hit the brakes and move to something more user friendly.

This game has really good quality in respect to the graphical part. High resolution babes and gorgeous animations. The music was also really good, maybe add some more sound effects though. Time flew as I played the game and that's a good sign. Please put some facials on the game, there's only 1 or 2 blowjob scenes rn, you could put some more with some facials.

One more "game" where you just abuse your mouse and waiting that maybe you could actually do something.. spent about 10 minutes of my life for this. Pretty nice background music, looked pretty nice, those were the reasons i gave 3 stars. Also with that about 10 minutes i saw 3 games in this that i have played before.

I really do not understand negative reviews and why people always compare this kind of games with SS. That game has completely different structure, and story. This one has its own structure and story. Yes renders looks similar, but didn't most of it looks similar too? Honestly I did not expect the game to be this good. I just played because I liked their other game NTR:Her Lie, and this game is also good. Renders is good, animations its good, story was not good but enough to go on. I did not have any single issue or bug so far. Game did not tire you and has a smooth mechanics for each LI and you can follow it without having issues and much smoother than SS in that regard. Overall it is a good game and I will keep following it. The only issue is some LI is behind paywall and you can get their full story with this release.

Reviewing version .5, this is not an early release, this is a DEMO. It has not been advertised anywhere and has been presented as a bait and switch. The dev wants you to subscribe to a WIP first release to get access to any sex scenes, but only tells you when youre about to get a sex scene. This in itself is kinda sus. Looking at what I've been presented, the scenario is charming. The writing is okay but it prattles on and on and on. The art quality is fine. It's obvious that everything has been spit out by AI and touched up - the art is serviceable, and even quite good to the point I'm impressed they managed to emulate SS to an acceptable degree. But the story is barely tolerable. Beyond just the sheer volume of nothing, people repeat things over and over and speak in an unnatural tone. Like, the sister character is a bro con, and every dialogue with her is about this. I just can't tolerate the same "NoT RElatEd bY BloOd" joke told by an AI in a slightly different way for the 10th time. You just can't replace a good writer. The menus are a chore, the game is currently quite buggy, and there are some dubious design choices that cause a lot of annoying clicks. Progress with the girls is pretty shallow. Ultimately, this is not really worth playing in its current state. Needs at least a public release or something, and the dialogue needs to get trimmed down like 50% and ideally rewritten to be interesting. at least with a public release this would be acceptable as yet another trashy story where you "mash ctrl and goon".

More content than SS now has had to use screen magnifier when working in coffee shop after that it was fine. I'm not sure what pay wall there is and you can buy cat food at the grocery store. For an initial release there is quite a bit of content. Having characters that look similar to SS is not a crime especially since the MC is the only character that looks anything like a character in SS. But bitching is what people on this sight do best so the other reviews don't surprise me.

INTRUDUCTION Story starts with MC talking about how awful his life is in a sarcastic tone, then he gets a call from attorney, he says that his uncle he didn't saw for years died, and named him as the sole beneficiary of his motel named The Golden Hours Motel located at Pinewood Hollow, and condition to get ownership of this motel is to live on-site, maintain the property, and make genuine effort to run it as a functioning business at least for year, if he abandons, allow it to fall into disrepair or try to sell it before a year is up property reverts entirely to Kellerman Development Corporation, which is a real estate company who were trying to get the motel from his uncle for very long time, but he refused it, with all these on plate MC decides to leave his awful life, there he founds note from his uncle, he talks about people in town, talks about Buscuit, says he predend he hates you, and everyone, but if he sits on your lap, you're in, feed him 2 times a day, and wet food on Sundays, and says his office is locked for a reason, and he will find the key when he is ready, and with that he starts his journey to fix the motel, new with towns people, and live his new life. PROS + We have an angry-looking thicc ass judgmental cat, he is a loaf of bread with attitude, and his name is Biscuit LOL + Visually, the game looks good, and character models are fine as well, especially Mayor Victoria Dawson. CONS - The game is a bit text-heavy, and sometimes can be boring to read. - We kinda lack pictures to show what's happening on the screen. Sometimes, you stare at the same picture for a very long time while the text itself describes a thing happening, instead of happening with a picture, like the text says ''she shook my hand'' but nothing changes on screen. - There are a lot of repeating, or meaningless dialogues, etc, that exist, and in most cases they have the same. - Progressing feels kinda unnatural, not fluid, and even disjointed, for both the story and the relationships, and in relationships, it feels like there is no progress happening at all, you have a couple of talks with them, and then sex happens. - Some of the content is behind a paywall. In the AI game, the paywall is already a very big CON, but it's even worse since some of them are there for characters you spent quite some time to reach, like Mayor Downson's quest, which is one of the longest currently, yet her sex scene at the end of the quest is behind a paywall. - You actually need to manually work on the tasks the game wants you to do for earning money, like one by one creating hot drinks, etc, or doing repairs at the workshop. An option to skip them is 100% needed. - Energy mechanic is kinda annoying, and time wasting, the game shouldn't be restrictive like this, it should be either optional or removed. - Buying something closes the menu you are in, but since you gotta buy bunk in most cases, it shouldn't behave in that way. - There are some bugs, like duplicate MC's PNG Vector, etc. - Sex scenes are kinda weird, they take control of your hand, and you can't do things you can normally do, like opening the menu, saving, loading, etc. And they have only 1 positions, and an angle currently. VERDICT The current state of the game is kinda poor, it has the most groundwork done for being at least decent game, but CONS are way too many, and some of them are seriously concerning, for now it doesn't feel like worth playing, depending on how many of the CONS will be fixed in future dates it can be better, we will see.

It seems to be copy of SS, But it's a game to spend some time, if you have some, by the way, you can still see some mistakes in the animation, what I mean is that you can easily see that they do not have life like an object without life, but probably, you will need two or at least one year to improve those mistakes. Obviously is not the fault of the dev. Playing the game, makes you feel sometimes that you are watching some sidework from the characters of SS, that's weird, not funny.
