Soulmate

Episode 4 - Minor Spoilers I agree with most of what the other 4-star ratings have stated. The novel starts out with awkward writing and hasty sex scenes. It takes a while for it to find its legs - ghost pun - and to find its balance between slice of life and a more serious, supernatural plot. The (adopted) sister is a sweetheart and my main reason for continuing to read. I love the relationship between her and her brother. (This relationship does not need to be rushed!) Molly, the aforementioned ghost that only the MC can see early on, made for some interesting scenes when multiple characters were involved. Despite the dev's less-than-perfect English, he did a good job of incorporating humour and demonstrating the differences between the characters' personalities. Read this if you want some light-hearted fun with supernatural intrigue. It's very flawed, but not heavily. The characters and a bit of suspense in the story help make it engaging. I think that I would appreciate a conclusion to the story sooner rather than later so that the dev can take what he's learned and apply it to a bigger project.

There's something good here, it's not a typical VN and it's not without some obvious faults but it is worth a look. It has a decent story with a few holes that gets better the deeper in you go but it lacks focus at the start. College life, random sex, mystery pasts, junior detective story, religion, exorcism/ghosts all seemed to be happening at the same time in the beginning but has now settled on an interesting supernatural subworld. A rewrite of the start would help but the dev seems happy to just improve it as they go, which is fine. However it has parts that don't work such as character depth isn't great for some of the LI's, we had the opportunity to see some of Eddie's home life but we didn't, the odd bullies dropped out of sight, more could have been made from interacting with the Dad (by phone?), Adam (odd short scene but will there be a big reveal later), the diving instructor (another scene? or are we one and done?) and no guests or staff appear any more (random scene opportunities). Two of the LI's seem very similar in personality and four are a bit too similar in terms of looks for me - a bit more variety would have helped rather than just different hair colour. It's fairly vanilla apart from one very different scene with Sadie which really stands out compared to the other LI's. Will the dev show us more of this and go further or end it there? Will we see other fetishes with other characters? Some people maybe overly critical with this, as there are things you might not like but there are now warnings before each scene. Overall the story is fairly light hearted fun and the writing is getting much better now as it seems better focused. The LI's are a mixture of personalities, fetishes and looks so you should find at least one you like although probably not all. However the sex scenes are short and a bit disappointing with ok animations but no choices or much foreplay.

Off to a bad start within the first updates, this game has changed for the better, no more forced content, you can avoid any of the girls you don’t like ( beware of Sadie, she is a total dominatrix who will peg you! ). The beginning of the game is still a bit erratic and needs a rework, it does not seem to have a clear direction at first, and the sex scenes are popping out of nowhere ( useful tips: better not help a drunk girl lying in a pond it you don’t want to end up having forced sex with a prostitute. Better not spy on a girl masturbating in the locker room if you don’t want to end up having forced sex with a total nympho ). But wait for it! It gets much better as soon as we’re immersed into the story plot, when we discover that Langwi is not a town as human as we thought at first, and it even hides some horrors in the depths of a castle. I won’t spoil the plot more but I just wanted to point out that despite an unclear start, this game is really worth exploring and has a lot of potential, it will entertain you for sure if you’re into unconventional visual novels that do not revolve around a teenager attending college, having parties with hot cheerleaders, and living with his landlady and her daughters...

version ep4-This a nice little narrative that doesn't get too dramatic or sorry about little details. It's mostly lighthearted fun, so don't take it too serious. The renders are nice, and yes there are real animations in it used for the lewd stuff. There are also a few 2-3 frame alternating ones mostly used for movement. The narrative isn't too wordy, and gets the job done. If you don't pick apart the little things, and just enjoy it as a fun romp, then the game is very enjoyable. Yes some of it is absurd. Character development is done pretty well for what it can give you while keeping the mystery. Personally i enjoyed it over the overused typical games of late. Pace is a tad fast but, still enjoyable. Great job dev, and keep up the good work. Look forward to the next update.

I found this VN strange and naive, but oddly enough, that's a plus in this case. The plot is not new and simple, the narrative is full of bloopers, but for some reason it's interesting. The models and graphics are attractive, although many of the female characters are too similar to each other. Sometimes they can only be distinguished by their names in chat. Overall, it's a rather ambiguous work, but it's definitely worth trying to get a feel for the atmosphere. My rating: 4 based on the EP4 version

Had to stop playing pretty early, so I won't go for 1 star to give this game the benefit of the doubt... From what I saw this is: - Follow the story (don't think about it, follow). - Click choices for porn, not the other ones that could make sense. A lot of times in reviews I can read "dialogs are weird.". And for me, it's not most of the time because I'm not an English native speaker... In this game, it's like there are no human interactions. It's almost human... You're in college, and on the first day, your sister is being bullied because of her handicap... By 2 guys that sound like they're 12. Not saying that it's impossible to find people like that in college, but it feels very weird. First day at your job, your "boss" knows there's a ghost in your room but doesn't care at all, but to be honest, the MC doesn't mind living with a ghost, so... I guess it's normal? Or it's not, but it is anyway? ... Anyway, give me a foot massage... Yeah, that's basically how the conversation goes... Next, you go find something to do, hear sound in the changing room (mixed, of course)... And sure, an attractive girl is masturbating in the open... Peep? Don't peep? Doesn't matter! If you choose don't, (like, to not get fired on your first day you never know), well, the MC can't move because... And if you peep, you of course don't hide yourself... And the girl wants you to fuck her. I know that "porn logic" is a thing... But you must add some logic to it! Maybe it gets better later in the game... But 1st impressions in those games result in a "skip or quit" situation and after that, improvements are irrelevant. If the game cares to improve, EP1 needs a rework.

VERSION: EP.3 SUMMARY: Too much nonsense and poor story to bother reading, just watch the pictures. RATINGS: (out of 5): Models: 4 Animations: 2 General Visuals: 3 Characters: 3 Story: 3 Writing: 2 UI & Gameplay: 3 Content (amount): X Sound & Music: 2 Fetish & kinks: X Average: X of 50 possible points giving a X% rating i.e. X stars. PROS: Models look decent and MC doesn't look like a total wimp either. Visually the game looks good, decent renders and overall world looks good. Some profound writing, like "sister" being picked on, dealing with her disabilities and cruel people, but thats pretty much where the "story" pros end. You get some lewd scenes early enough in the game, however they short lived and vanilla. CONS: Spelling and/or typos, while English may not be the native language for the dev, I suggest getting someone to proof read the script that actually is English or versed in it. Animations are just still images on loop and then only 2 or 3 of them so not great. The story has too many unbelievable bullshit in it that come together just too well to be coincidence. No other sounds save for music, no ambience or lewd sounds. FINAL THOUGHTS & SUGGESTIONS: Right off the bat, the story is weird, that simply because there is no preface, no context to what is happening, we can get behind the scene, but the world? Do vampires exist? Or is this just some joke between colleagues? I find such writing frustrating and the reader/player should not need to figure out such basic and fundamental information, plot points and such yes, keep the player/reader in suspense but not like this, it screams lazy writing to me. Minor detail, but Jason has a Sheriff uniform on, but he speaks to the Sheriff, are they both or is he a deputy? Minor detail, not a gripe, but his badge should reflect what he is. The ghost interaction is weird, my bullshit meter goes too much into the red especially when the MC bangs the ghost. I mean while the ghost is pretty, the MC who seems to be such a nice, sweet, honest and wholesome dude, just simply sticks his dick in a horny ghost like its the most normal thing and the "protest" if you can call them that or whatever you call the lip service bullshit he says to avoid screwing the ghost is just that, bullshit, which just emphasizes this part of the story being bullshit. The MC seeing ghost is one thing, but the manager seeing them and being completely fine about talking about it, like its the most natural thing, like the ghost is just part of the furniture, like a squeaky door that everyone knows about is just too much, its a bit annoying. Not sure if this is known, but dev, Sadie is squint, her eyes are in my opinion wrong, like she is looking at the bridge of her nose, it one thing to do that when you reading with poor eyesight, but naturally? No... I am personally not a fan of this kind of "Ghost" story, the ghost is not a ghost, its corporeal meaning the MC can interact with it like its a normal person, but basically invisible to anyone else. Im sorry, but that is not a ghost at all and this again ties into silly writing for me, you didnt even have to make a fun sexy ghost who doesnt wear panties during the day and sleeps in lingerie at night...fml such bullshit, oh and don't forget a ghost that eats too! So what the fries are floating in the air and disappear down some mystical hole? You could easily stick to normal people and use a specter or actual ghost, avoid sex and physicality (which is impossible with a ghost) to the MC. Im fairly certain though that the way its written ties directly into the game story, the relationship between MC and ghost, but i am not a fan of this kind of story. Ill be honest here, after the squint manager just drops the ghost convo like its talking about the weather with the MC and then promptly asks him for a massage and immediately its a domination foot fetish thing that ensues and 1 slide later the MC drops his pants and starts to jerk off I just lost it. I speed through rest and more bullshit came about that I just could not get behind and I closed the game. Its simply put REDONKULOUS My biggest gripe is the story, the developer chooses to ignore fundamental concepts, knowledge and pretty much facts and distorts it all to fit a very silly narrative (the story). Sadly just because the developer has a strange skew perception of story telling, doesn't mean we all have. I believe the mechanics of the game, how it was built and designed are good, but the story, in particular its execution and how its all strung together by bullshit scenes and dialogue after another...is just horrible and ruins its for me.

This game is different, its funny and the images and script are good. It's worth playing if you want to step aside from the usual game in F95 but also is sexy with nice models like all good games here. Kudos to the developer and artists!

A good start. The story is quite interesting,. The MC is one of those rare species that are actually likeable. Sometimes he seems a little bit overwhelmed, but in a cute way All LIs so far are intriguing. The choices lead to different scenes, not sure yet how that influences the overall development of relationships. The English is ok. Some sentences are a bit clunky or weird worded, but overall bearable.

Overall: 3.5/5 - It's above-average and worth downloading and playing. Some work on the English translation would make it 4-stars. Hopefully, updates will be more frequent due to the lack of animations and higher image compression. Story: 4/5 - Definitely better than average. There are some contrived and stereotype situations, but not too many. There is an unusual mix of western (American/European) and eastern (Chinese) cultures and lore. It's definitely original and it'll be interesting to see where it goes. Writing: 2/5 - Poor English translation. Sometimes it's OK, but sometimes it's really bad. Renders: 4/5 - Female models are very pretty, but their faces and bodies are all too similar-looking. Resolution and detail seems a little low, and renders sometimes look a little grainy. The game size is very small, though. Animations: N/A - no animations in the game. The game simulates animations by alternating between two or three renders when you click during some scenes. Content: 3/5 - The amount of content seems about right for a first release, but the quality of the sex scenes is a bit lacking. In the existing sex scenes, the girls jump on the MC too quickly. There's not enough relationship building. Gameplay: 3/5 - The gameplay consists of infrequent choices. There are exactly 11 choices in the first episode. Choices change the content you see, but it's not clear if there are other effects. Bugs: 3/5 - I encountered a couple of bugs, but nothing game-breaking. The clickable hotspots on the Load/Save page are both overlapping and not aligned with the graphics. I.e. if you want to click on the page number to go to a specific page of save games, you have to click on the empty space below the number. While in the library, several lines of dialogue were spoken by the MC but attributed to Molly. There were a few more of these in other places, but I didn't write them all down. WTFs and other weirdness: The car where the dead parents were found 16 years ago is contemporary with cars of the present day. Molly the Ghost can feel pain and pleasure, feel tired, eat food, change clothes, and even have sex. Does she also poop? Where do her clothes go when she takes them off? So far, the only things that make her different from a regular person are that she can float and only two people in the game can see her. Meave sees the MC having sex with Molly, who is invisible. Meave sees MC's cum squirt through Molly and onto the table, which wouldn't happen if Molly was "solid" so that the MC could feel her. Yet, in the scene where Molly eats some French fries in the middle of a crowed entranceway, why can't other people see the French fries she puts in her mouth?
