Literally too early to say. Was hoping for a bit of spice of foreshadowing in the Prologue, but we don't get a lot. What we get is Spoiler a few scenes for 1 events with the new girlfriend So far…

Great start to the story, very promising. Looks good visually, characters look interesting aswell. Was hoping for something more in the prologue but still... Menu and sounds look professional, only downside is playtime and lackery of sex scenes i think…
