One of the all-time classic adult VNs that I'd played through many times, but never really played through thoroughly until today.
So, here's my review;
It's really, really good. Especially for its time, in a quickly evolving genre.
The Good;
The renders and character models. Though the renders aren't A+ elite, they are certainly very good. I enjoyed the looks and body proportions of almost every character in the game. Especially Christina. Kira is super hot as well, though some of the faces she makes are a bit jarring at times.
The lewd scenes are super spicy and still hold up today. A lot of kinky shit in them which is always a mega plus for me. Take notes, other Devs, vanilla is (almost always*) boring.
The writing and overall plot are very good. I really enjoyed being a detective in a seedy town, and the Dev does a good job of having that part of the city shine through. I also enjoyed the small immersive stuff like reading through case files such as police and toxicology reports. Makes the VN feel like LA Noire with steamy sex.
Random notes:
NTR warning with Christina. The game gives you an on/off option, however, and she isn't a love interest at the time anyway, so it's not truly NTR, but I can see some people getting salty about it anyway. So, warning.
Also wanted to note that I wasn't sure if I liked the MC or not. He's a sleaze with a clear impulse issue, but that's clearly what the Dev is going for, so counting it as a "bad" thing wouldn't be fair. However... (see my small complaints section)
Small complaints;
The MC is way too creepy with Judy. I'm personally not into the sleep kink stuff at all, so I skipped past that shit every time. And there is a lot of it early on, sadly.
Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about this VN. It's a highly-rated classic for a reason. Check it out, asap.
5* (Realistically 4.5, but, ya know)
