Great story, amazing character models, and a really strong build-up from the very beginning. I really enjoyed how the story slowly develops and gives you more insight into the characters, their personalities, motivations, and relationships. The mobster theme is especially well done and adds a lot of atmosphere to the whole experience. I’m a big fan of crime and mobster stories, so seeing this kind of setting combined with interesting characters and a developing storyline is something I really appreciate. The character models are another major highlight for me. They look great and give each character their own personality and presence. It makes the scenes feel much more alive and helps you become more invested in what is happening. I also really like the pacing so far. The build-up takes its time instead of rushing through everything, which makes me even more curious about where the story is going next. There is clearly a lot of potential here, and I’m very interested to see how the relationships between the characters develop and what kind of twists and new situations will be introduced in future updates. The combination of a great story, attractive character models, and the mobster setting makes this a really enjoyable experience. Overall, I’m having a great time with it and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what comes next. Keep up the great work, and I absolutely can’t wait for the next update!

Even more horrible pacing than his last game. I have no idea what the dev was thinking to double down on the most criticized aspect of his last game "Horrible pacing and blue balling". It seems he really went for broke emphasizing those two criticized aspects.

Three chapters huh? Lots of writing and so little to show for it really. The story is just barely a story. The first 2 chapters are barely even there. Boring is more like it. I drive a Taxi. I take care of sick mom. I hunt for missing brother. I avoid sex at all costs. Makes it into crime family. Now he has sex with a prostitute .... quite a bit. Not great sex scenes but still it is par for course with the story that is there. Guess what the relationship page ....guess who has a zero beside her level. You guessed it. That prostitute. His job has been bland as hell working for the local criminal boss. Sorry not very impressed with what was three chapters deep already here. Just did not feel impressed at all.

Here is actual review without sugar coating. Render : Bad render. Don't fall for cover art. I got intrigued after seeing the cover art, but after playing it, I realised that cover art is actually a click bait. Too much close footage. Rating:1/5 Story : Mid level writing. I don't even understand why a Taxi Driver got invited in a Birthday party. And being a Taxi Driver why he accepts it. The story feels forced. The choice is unnecessary and doesn't even hold any meaning. Yes, relationship point but those are selected as choice is laughable. Rating: 2/5 Female Model : The actual thing those are good. A plus point. Rating: 3/5 Graphic: Disappointing. Rating: 1/5 I played it after chapter 2 release, but both are disappointment.

This dev has a lot going for him so he should be supported. The models and the animations are great, the story is so far intriguing unless he goes down the rabbit hole of dissecting mafia operations in detail. I also like the idea of focussing on a single LI versus the harem. Slow burn, unless exaggerated, is also a good thing to boost anticipation. I just hope the dev will not fall into the trap of shaving all of the women's pubic hair. It creates a very unnatural vibe and kills the aesthetics and the attraction of a nice, thick and sexy bush. We'll see where this goes, but so far a good start.

This game is more bare than Niflheim. 2 chapters and you're telling me by Odin's ballsack that it only has this much content? The renders aren't even good, the cover art for this game looks better than the actual game. Disappointing

version ch2 public-A little bit of a slow burn as people get introduced. The renders are done well, and there are a few animations. If i recall correctly 2 lewd scenes if you pick correctly. Each has 2 camera angles to play. The sandbox was a little rough, the thing you had to find were small and i only found 4 of the 5. The pictures that it gives you for your phone are pg, and more artistic then realistic. Personally i would have skipped it, if i knew they were pg, lol. I didn't play with sound so not sure if it has it. It's a good start for a new dev, so i wish them luck. Look forward to the next update to see how things go and i'll re-rate at that time if need be.

good foundation... lets see if they can keep it going.. starting off slow with intros and setting down the general feel.. I am sensing crime drama with lots of moral choices not just around sex but violence.. I like a good mob story
