The world the author has crafted here, I believe, would make an amazing MMO. It reminds me, though on a more focused scale, of Secret World. And every time I play the new update I end up going back to that game for a few weeks. lol

2022-10-13 02:23:01 +0000 UTCI thought I was implying it without going into detail, but maybe I was too circumspect. I was more worried about something else that (so far) has not materialized in the comments.

2022-10-11 02:29:35 +0000 UTCUnironically one of my favorite eroge titles. I never thought of the art style as a deliberate choice to complement its offsetting nature. Some of the art is getting upgrades, so probably not entirely intentional on the creator's part, but it's an interesting perception. I think the only critique I'd offer here is the lack of focus on the Superhero aspect of this game. You bring up the individual vs. the community, and the MC's approach to their superhero persona, and the concept of superhumans, is a pretty big deal to the plot. I'd say it's half eldritch horror, half dark superhero origin story. Probably one of the few polyamorous titles that I think won't give us an ending with all partners. At least, it wasn't heading in that direction when I played it several months ago.
