I have to say that I didn’t expect this level of quality from this game. I thought that it would be good, but this is more than I could have hoped for! The ascetic is a real breath of fresh air. Simply setting something in a futuristic setting separates this game from most others. This is the first time that I’ve seen cyberpunk that really clicked with me. The absolutely stunning sprite work from cj definitely helped with that. I’d say that he is the best RPGMaker sprite artist I’ve ever seen, and I can’t imagine there being many better. Of course, I have to mention the excellent character portraits. Kudos to him for pulling double duty and acing both parts of it.
The premise of the story is simple, but that’s all it needs to be. I know what’s going on, I know that there’s a lot of excuses for fatties, and there are a few questions that I want answers for. The characters are fairly cookie cutter for the most part. They all fill a role but don’t do much more, but seeing as they didn’t have much time to be developed I can’t fault them for it, especially since I found most of them entertaining. The big exception is Amber. I really felt her utter despair when Jason was taken and it made the Bad End hit extra hard.
The combat seems interesting. I haven’t experienced enough of it to tell if I’ll like it or not, but so far it seems promising. The option to instantly Bad End yourself is a nice touch as well. There is a lot of promise to it, and I certainly hope that it gets fully explored.
Of course, what would a game on a niche fetish forum be without it’s fetish? The various different shapes that the fatties took definately helped put this game ahead of the pack. Of course I have to praise the Bad End for the unique sprites and animations for Amber stuffing herself. Not even her utter despair was enough to keep me from enjoying it. Little touches like seeing the catgirl with citizenship spilling pudding on herself were a nice, easily misable touch as well. Personally, I also really liked the collar commercial for seeing the catgirl chub up in between takes and be forced to orgasm through pure pleasure.
I do have a couple of complaints that I’d like to voice. One is that catgirl is used for both genders, that did confuse me at first and could have easily been replaced with the more gender neutral neko. I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but Jason moves at a snails pace in his apartment. That doesn’t happen anywhere else, so it might be a bug. This last one is more of a me thing, but I’m going to be paranoid about missing any of the Bad Ends, especially since there are so many of them and so little game for them to be squeezed into (relatively).
I would like to end this rant with a question; What are the names of everyone who helped make this? You and cj might be the stars of the show, but I think that everyone deserves a round of applause for this.
