I'm loving the game artistically, but I'll be honest - something about the gameplay just isn't doing it for me.
I think it just feels like the stories are not very interactive, so I'm sort of along for the ride and occasionally have the option to make a mistake. Otherwise, things sort of go as they're going to go, and it doesn't seem like I can do much to reach a 'good' ending as opposed to just an ending. I've found myself replaying scenarios because they felt incomplete, but no matter how much I back out and try different options, I get the same, abrupt ending.
I know the original Ariane was not necessarily all about sex, and I can respect that that trend is continued here, but things just feel very truncated. For example:
Another thing that may just be personal taste is that none of the girls feel particularly natural to me. What I mean is:
I don't mean to rag on it. This is an awesome game, artistically, and a lot of good work has gone into it. And I always appreciate that people are creating new content and sharing it with us. But the truth is that I haven't found the game very enjoyable, personally. There's a lot of quality there but not so much fun, if that makes sense?
Again, sorry to be a downer, but I can only be honest.
