If you’re new to the world of adult simulation, in my experience, the Japanese company, Illusion, is one of the industry leaders! That company’s ability to layer in noticeable interactions in their games, instead of just trying to go over the top with adult content, really sets them apart. I purchased this title after about three weeks of home isolation due to the current pandemic; I purchased it because it rated so highly last summer, and I wanted to see what made the game so popular. Here are the options that this title offers that kept me coming back for more: Voice-acting: Oh, how I wish I spoke fluent Japanese so that I could REALLY experience what these characters are saying. Sure, there are subtitles when you’re working through a typical conversation, but when the passion begins, all you must go on is a small handful of non-verbal cues, and tone of voice. Despite that shortcoming though, there is something just transcendent about a Japanese female tone experiencing climax!! And this game has it in DROVES!!! Variety of characters: The story takes place in a school, where the disclaimer informs us that all characters are at least 18 years of age. Heh…okay…whatever you have to say to keep the lawyers happy! There are 38 vacancies that you can fill with the default character catalog, download additional characters from Illusion DLC content, or pull in toons from other players that have uploaded their own work! What’s more, as you work through the trust-increasing exercises of asking and answering questions in game to build the strength of the relationship, if you desire to change anything about a character, all you have to do is wait until the end of the day, when you’re back in your “room” and you can adjust any existing classmates’ features, or swap them out for a completely different one. Obviously, replacing a toon starts the affection meter over at zero again, but I have enjoyed the ability to spontaneously give existing classmates a new tattoo, tan lines, physical features, hair styles and clothing options, without worrying about answering all of the relationship questions again! And, not surprising, I have a couple of favorites that I look out for! Since I live in western civilization, and dating women is now akin to skydiving without a parachute, am I weird for fostering feelings for a FAKE, ANIME CLASSMATE? Probably…but I just don’t care! Storyline: Unfortunately, $59.99 spent on Steam does NOT get the full game! There is an immediate need to go to Illusion’s website and download the Story patch. As installing patches go, that one wasn’t so awful…and it is CLEARLY worth the trouble! Without that patch, all the $60 gets is a $3X simulator! Not a worthless piece of software, but hardly worth that kind of money. The four main-character stories are a decent addition, that put in more reasons to keep playing. None of the four stories are really compelling; the writing isn’t Skyrim, Warcraft or Starcraft level by any means, but I love that the game isn’t just a lame click-through-novel, as well as I appreciate that it isn’t just an unending escapade of mounting one toon to the next! Visuals: Facial expressions, body lines, character movement, intimacy physics…all the reasons that Illusion is so great at what they do, are readily present here! Sure, their other currently-large title, Party Select, is a little more representative of the actual female form, but I am in my 40s now, I only need to climax maybe once a day now? The visual themes and almost unashamed innocence of them, is unbelievably appealing! I just bought a new PC with some of the funds that the US gave the working adult population, and despite that, there is still a 15-20 initial transition between from lagging visuals, and 100% fluid environment. Bottom line, if your gear is older than three years old, you may not have the muscle to run this game the way the developers had it envisioned. Elements that I would hope Illusion would enhance before releasing their next “Romance Simulator” UNCENSORED!!!! It’s against the law for the groin area to be accurately represented in Japanese-created mature content. Even though this title is available on Steam, that censure is alive and kicking! I’ve read four different walkthroughs to install patches or replace directory files to remove that censorship, without success. Illusion is hosting English language based websites (like Fakku.net); if the developers are not going to have a switch in the settings of the game where the English version of the game can have toggled censorship, then the patch to uncensor the game should also be available on that English website! More positions! I am not suggesting content as graphic as Puppetmaster’s, and I love the inclusion of girl-on-girl in this game (accidentally walking in on two characters, half-clothed, working on each other in a private corner is AMAZING), but there needs to be some MFF positions! Additional “accessories” should be included so the ladies can pound each other, and it would be nice to be able to play out a scenario where my character, and the one that I like taking home the most, could manipulate one of the dark emos (bullies) to the point where she had to lie down, with a D!LDO in her mouth, whilst me and my favorite girl straddled her pathetic form as some sort of emotional triumph for putting that B%#@# in her place! Illusion has never really gotten into futanari, so that might be a little too much to hope for, but the ability to include at least one more female in at least some interactions would be great! Better “SELF” customization – The options to adjust the amount of clothing the girls wear in each encounter is there…but not for you! Clothing, accessories, body shape, “intimate” enhancements, and so many more customization types are available for the GIRLS, but not for the character that you have to look at in EVERY scene! Being able to alter your own appearance, in any situation, is a glaring omission here! That seems to be a consistent theme for Illusion as well; the “male” character is barely more than a plastic dldo when it comes to customization. Additionally, the game should have a currency that I can accrue and spend to enhance not only my appearance, but my home.\*18-years-old? Really? I realize I am a grown man that uses virtual stimulation, and so that doesn’t give me the best place to cast judgement…but seriously Illusion? Some of these default characters have visual characteristics of 10-year-old boys. I found myself in a small mental debate whether I should omit the toon(s) based on how young she looked, versus missing out on the additional complexity that her added personality would give to the game. I ended up including ALL default toons, to keep things emotionally interesting, but I spent several hours in the toon-customization settings to enhance those girl’s features to the point that they actually LOOKED 18! That’s time I could have been in the game, walking the halls, and increasing intimate abilities, but instead, worrying about the unintended ped0phile stench I would be rolling in if I asked one of these teeny girls about her…breast size?! C’MON!!! Bottom line, with the MeToo movement sticking around, family courts still favoring “mother-dearest” and divorce courts making certain to destroy men’s lives, virtual relationships are going to have to be the thing of the future! That is a very sad statement, but the only real way to get the “fairness pendulum” to swing back to the men’s side is for us to check out of the “game” for a while; go off the reservation as the MGTOW movement would call it. Games like this help make that transition to permanent bachelorhood a little more tolerable! I just wish a software development team in a little more liberated, ENGLISH-SPEAKING country was building content as compelling as this! If there were, I’d buy 100 shares tomorrow!!!!
