Explanation to Negative Feedback
Parents abandoned us
Two weeks.
They said they’d be back in two weeks. I was afraid this game would have a time limit to it because of that, but it doesn’t.
Turns out our parents just forgot about us, other than the fact that they send us money each week for doing chores. I mean, on day 58, you’d think they’d at least call or something, but I’m thinking by the time the full release game ends, maybe they’ll come home saying they had such a good time they forgot to come home or something along those lines.
Who knows.
But they better have a good excuse on them.
Very repetitive
It’s a problem with these types of games.
Basically, in order to increase her trust or lust, we have to choose specific options when talking to her. Typically, we only go through a single scripted conversation or two. And so when we have to keep bumping up her two stats, we also have to keep going through the same dialogue.
I really wish devs would make it so there’s several conversation types for this instance. Maybe some don’t mind reading the same lines, but I like a bit of variety.
Otherwise, players will just spam-click through the text to progress.
I kind of got tired of passing the days over and over again just to be able to trigger a specific scene that you never know when will show up, just to try to make a choice that she may or may not respond well to.
Some misspelled moments
There’s not a lot of them, but there’s enough that it’ll start to catch your eye that they are there, and there might be a few more sprinkled throughout.
AI use
The Steam store states this:
We blend traditional artistry with AI enhancements to elevate the visual quality of our artwork. Initial sketches are hand-drawn, capturing the essence of our characters and settings. We then use AI tools to refine these illustrations, enriching textures and colors for a more immersive experience.
Explanation to Positive Feedback
Easy to boost her stats
Lara might become furious at us for trying things that she’s not currently in the mood for, but it’s pretty easy to boost her trust. We give her some gifts, have nice conversations, all that good stuff and her trust increases.
Her lust is also fairly easy to increase, though it might take a bit more time to increase it throughout the days, due to the increments being smaller than that of the trust stat.
Either way, her fury is easy to wave off.
