A very short experience that I'll be reviewing as a demo, but for a demo it's a very high production value experience that offers a very welcome addition to the surprisingly rare genre of romance-based femdom.
Art is probably it's headlining attribute, it has some very fantastic base art that could carry a VN by itself as just stills, but they've augmented it even further with live2D animated sprites that bring a lot of life to the game and what surely has to be at least some manually animated CG with how detailed the breast groping was. There naturally will be a drawback to this as that much production value in each CG is going to limit how many scenes the game can offer, but they've seemed to plan around this by keeping the scope of the game small and focused.
Voice acting is also quite well done and is definitely augmentary to the experience. I've seen a few other games try to hit above their league by adding voice and you end up with some girl whisper reading on a bad mic that you have to feel bad about muting just to enjoy the game. Here though you're getting an acceptably professional experience by an actor that's actually emoting to the script. My only slight gripe is that I think perhaps a bit more of a sultry mature voice would suit the character better, but personal preference.
Story is a great premise, and as I said is a setup I'm a big fan of. My only gripe is that there's really not any conflict to it at all. She pretty much does nothing but be nice to you from the beginning and practically wears a sign on her forehead that she's lonely and attention starved, so there's not really an arc of warming a cold heart or anything. The protagonist literally got sent to his death by a culture he himself describes as a hellhole, so he has nothing better to go back to and there's really no reason to pick any resist or escape options other than just the curiosity of seeing what they do. Since that can't really carry a story unless they go full slice of life, this is gonna make any evil stuff they introduce later feel less like a twist and more like a bait-and-switch. Perhaps they could meld some of the yandere route's elements into the main story thread more, so there's a bit more darkness to drive some early conflict (and to keep the femdom aspects alive in a route that could easily end up so romantic that she just turns into a tradwife). Or maybe they have a really good plan here that I'm not seeing yet.
Overall though, great experience thus far. Being a demo it is very short, and it's limited scope makes it seem like even the fully finished game is going to be overly short too, but until those fears get realized I can only really review it as the demo it is, and as a demo I found the quality high enough to balance out the limited quantity. I will be watching it to see if it can keep up with it's own promise or not though.
