This is Inceton, what did you expect?

I can’t get into the beginning because the visual novel starts right off the bat with a sex scene with a girl that I didn’t get a chance to learn to know nor desire beforehand and therefore it fails to turn me on because she inspires me nothing since she was thrown at me while she is a random stranger. You have to build up sexual tension and anticipation, make us want it, before actually having sex, because if there is no feeling involved then sex is a mere mechanical process, nothing to be excited about, starting immediately with a sex scene with a complete stranger that you didn’t make us desire first is a really bad design, I feel nothing for this sex scene out of the blue and I just want to skip it to meet other girls that I will actually get to know before having sex with them. Sigh, well, I give up, I didn’t even reach the camp yet that I already hate my character because he yells at a girl who calls him out of the blue for no reason and he is unwilling to go to summer camp even though it is the very point of this entire visual novel. That’s just like when you play a video-game because you are bored in real world and need some adventure in your existence and your character doesn’t want adventure because he dreams about a peaceful boring life, it’s always infuriating when your character resists his purpose and XRed Games made the same mistake, they advertised this visual novel with promises of experiencing life as the only male in a female summer camp and then they make us play a character who doesn’t want to go there, I really don’t want to play a moody character so I quit right from the start, it started so badly that I completely lost interest in discovering more, I’m already fed up a few minutes after starting this story. Actually, xRed Games is none other than infamous Inceton in disguise. Indeed, Inceton has grown such a bad reputation that they disguised themselves under another name xRed Games but their stories still are the same garbage that everyone spits on so don’t bother even downloading anything from xRed Games just like you certainly already learned to boycott Inceton.

It depressed me.

I don't even want to remind myself of how much this game unexpectedly depressed me.

This is an Alicesoft game.

We both know what is Alicesoft's specialty which is so disgusting that I can't even say it because it is a censored word and yet GOG is hypocritical enough to sell these games while forbidding to say what they actually are about so I'll say it in a more refined manner: Alicesoft's specialty is non-consensual forced sexual interactions which you can sum up into a 4 letters taboo word and now you can't pretend that you don't know what you buy.

Such a waste after such a good start!

I actually tried to explain my rating however I gave up because GOG is hypocritical enough to sell adult games while censoring adult words from their reviews and it is virtually impossible to talk about an adult game without adult words and that's a real shame because my review was really complete.

One of the best AVNs!

Hard to believe it is from the same author of Sisterly Lust, he has grown so much more skilled since then! I didn’t like Sisterly Lust much because the protagonist was a creep who used Daddy’s money to buy his way in women’s hearts, everything felt as if it was served on a silver plate ready for the taking, that was not an enjoyable experience to me because I didn’t feel as if I earned what I had and the protagonist really creeped me out with his rotten personality. Now in this story here, the author has completely changed his perspective because the protagonist might be from a rich family but he is not a spoiled brat like the protagonist from Sisterly Lust was, this protagonist is a lot more interesting as he doesn’t rely on Daddy’s money to have his way in life, he is fully autonomous and actually makes his own way in life with his own resources, I respect him a lot more! 😃 And his personality is a lot more refined that the creep from Sisterly Lust who spent his time thinking how he was going to do his sisters. Now don’t get me wrong, this protagonist here also romances his sisters BUT he thinks about them in a lot more respectful way than the creep from Sisterly Lust who saw his sisters as preys of his schemes. Because as the name entailed, Sisterly Lust was all about LUST. The thoughts and actions of the protagonist were driven by sexual desires. Whereas here, the thoughts and actions of the protagonist are driven by love, he loves his sisters and doesn’t think about them in a creepy way, which makes a world of difference in his personality and makes him a lot more enjoyable to be! 😆 To sum it up, the protagonist from Sisterly Lust was a creep whereas this protagonist here is a romantic. Kuddos to the author for such an upgrade! 😉 By the way, isn't that hypocritical of GOG to sell adult games and still censor adult words in their reviews?

Hypocritical self-pity seeking AVN

Leap of Faith is an attempt from someone struck with grief after their child committed suicide to seek sympathy while they did not understand the very point that they stated themselves: The child was feeling happy before committing suicide because life made them unhappy and they finally found an exit to their inescapable and constant predicament so it is actually the living left behind who feel sad about it and not the dead who has finally escaped their sadness which should have been noticed and resolved far before and this hypocrisy actually angers me because the living pretends suicide is sad when it is on the contrary the escape from unbearable sadness which is why their child was finally feeling happy for the first time after so long when they resolved to end their own life which made the living left behind sad out of feeling abandoned and who now seeks sympathy while pretending the dead is the victim while the dead doesn't need any sympathy anymore, it is too late now, it should have been noticed and resolved far before. I disapprove of the author creating this fantasy of theirs to seek sympathy for their tragedy which they shared as they inserted into this fiction the real story of their child's suicide while describing the morning when they last saw them alive and "they were smiling for the first time since a long time because they finally found the solution" which tells me that their child has NOT smiled "for a long time" and they have been ignoring this problem until after it was too late because their child had finally found a definitive solution on their own then their parent learned the hard way the price of passivity and is now making up their fantasies seeking sympathy for their tragedy because they didn't react in time to their depressive child before their child finally escaped their depression on their own definitive way and this parent reacted as if THEY were the poor victim of this tragedy who needs consoling, which not only inspires me no sympathy at all but even inspires me seething anger! I didn't get the impression that they wanted to prevent other such tragedies from happening, only that they were seeking comfort into their fantasies and even discharging themselves of responsibility as they made it impossible to change Cece's mind before she actually went all the way to jump from the bridge and ONLY AFTER she actually jumped did she suddenly regret jumping even after she was so determined to jump no matter what, do you actually believe that she regretted doing what she was so determined to do? I don't believe it and I get the impression that the creator was trying not only to discharge themselves from their responsibility because they made it impossible to change Cece's mind as if they were telling us that they couldn't have done anything to prevent their child's suicide anyway even though Cece already wanted to escape her life when we met her and she even had already tried before we even met her whereas the author's child had been depressive for a long time before they made up their mind to end it all, which implies that the author actually had a lot more time to react than they gave us into their fantasy, but also, and this is what infuriates me the most, to even reject the fault onto their child as they made Cece regret trying to escape her life as soon as she did it as if their child was the one being wrong to do it, as if it was their own fault for having made a wrong choice which we can't even know if they actually regretted it as they succeeded and it was not their passive parent's fault at all, everything in this fiction has been designed to make Cece the only person at fault for her depression as everyone tried to cheer her up and it didn't change a thing and she even regretted her act as soon as she did it after having been so determined to do it no matter what as if she suddenly changes her mind at a 180° turn all of a sudden and now thinks that she has been mistaken all along and she is the only one at fault for having been mistaken all along which not only is not credible at all but it it also not at all how the real story inserted into this fiction went which makes the whole thing feel fake and hypocritical as it is a fiction designed to not only discharge the passive parent from their responsibility of ignoring their child's depression but also to inspire sympathy for their tragedy as if THEY were the victim of it! Suicide is actually the bravest and most determined act someone can commit to because it challenges what everyone fear: The Unknown of Death. And it is an irreversible act so no one commits to it lightly, only the people most determined to escape their life go all the way. In the end, we never got to know WHY Cece started being depressed to begin with, we actually didn't get to know anything of her circumstances, nothing about the origin of her depression as if she was born depressed and being depressed was her innate nature, which not only is too lazy but also makes it impossible to relate to her without actually knowing anything of her circumstances as symptoms without a cause tell nothing. From her describing her shopping, she was actually hypersensitive and overfelt everything, even the littlest stimulations overloaded her, which she could have simply been treated for hypersensitivity as it is a known trouble which already got treatment as Cece was not the only nor the first hypersensitive person but everyone wants to believe they are special, they are unique, there is no one else like them and no one can understand them because they are so special, Cece isolated herself into her delusion of being unique and that no one could understand her. Everyone has issues, maybe not all the same, but everyone has issues and each specific issue is shared by many people who can actually understand and support each other instead of isolating themselves into this common delusion of being unique and that no one could possibly understand them because no one else is like them, which leads them to worsen their state instead of seeking others who share their specific issues in order to understand and support each other. Moreover this is an AVN from a boyfriend's perspective and not from a parent's perspective, which makes this fantasy even farther from the real story which inspired it to begin with. And as I already stated, it is actually easy to notice someone's mood as long as you actually pay attention, even when someone doesn't show any emotion is already a telltale indication of a inner struggle on itself.

My honest feedback so far...

I disliked Valentina breaking the 4th wall because it kept haunting me as I played as if Valentina was just an actress playing her role in the story while being aware that this is a fiction which kept breaking the 4th wall and my immersion all along the story which is why her 4th wall breaking scene really damaged my experience of this game and I have been trying my best to forget it and pretend she never broke the 4th wall for the sake of saving my immersion. Breaking the 4th wall is always a very risky move as it can potentially completely ruin the immersion and experience of a story and should always be considered very carefully, it should be kept for stories which are specifically designed to break the 4th wall for a specific purpose from the start and never ever be done in stories which were not designed to break the 4th wall to begin with as breaking the 4th wall in such immersive stories only break their immersion which is why this was a mistake here so please remove this immersion breaking introduction. In my opinion, To Be A King is an interesting adult visual novel about becoming the King of a roman Empire, managing our Empire, maneuvering through political intrigues and power games, interacting with other nations, making alliances and/or wars, all while developing relationships and building our harem while being careful to not cause conflicts between our women, it is a very deep and rich adult visual novel... which hasn't been updated for a long time which frustrates me because it really grew on me. 😒 And which has been infuriating me to no end because it has been SO DAMN OBVIOUS that Felix is a traitor conspiring with Isabella and yet, you haven't allowed us any opportunity to confront him, you have been imposing us to pretend that we are oblivious to everything going on around us or more accurately, you have been imposing us to play a dumb character who I lost count of how many times I already cursed because he never ever notices anything wrong going around him and has been blissfully ignorant to all the conspiracies plotting against him! If he was not our character, I would WISH for such an idiot to be back-stabbed and I would ENJOY this well-deserved fate, but alas, he is our character, so I have had to bite my hand and contain my frustration to witness his stupidity while I am supposed to be him. And this is the weak point of this promising story because we have been imposed a stupid character for the sake of not solving plots too quickly, like when we catch Aristhenes, Lydia and Isabella conspiring together and we are imposed to arrest only Aristhenes for treason and let Lydia and Isabella go and keep conspiring by themselves even though they are clearly dangerous and if you marry Lydia (which I tried out of curiosity before reloading and rejecting her), then Goddess Anna personally marries you and tells you "I will ensure that it will not go too bad" hinting that marrying Lydia is an awful choice but she will take care of damage control. Just like it has been made obvious that Felix conspires with Isabella against us and yet we have been imposed to ignore this grave threat again, which has made this promising story turn really frustrating and even infuriating because of how we have been imposed an oblivious character who ignores even the most obvious plots. 😒 Moreover, every young woman is all over him and claims that he is “handsome” but every time I see his face, I want to puke because of how OLD AND UGLY he looks, which really has been posing me a hard challenge to immerse myself into this story and enjoy being this lame character both because of his appalling looks and his utter stupidity, I hate being him and I have been cursing you for imposing such a repulsive player character even if I want to continue playing this story because even though the protagonist is unlikeable, at least the story is deeply intriguing and gripping, which has made it so frustrating that it progresses so excruciatingly slowly... Indeed, after chapter 10, To Be A King has been dead until it was finally updated to Chapter 11 which was disappointingly short after such a long waiting and it is dead again ever since. Each update adds a short chapter and each short chapter takes forever to be released, hence my statement that "this has been progressing at an excruciatingly slow pace". So why has it not been continued for years after chapter 11? Is this actually abandoned? 🤔 If this is not abandoned, then I humbly request you to improve the protagonist's looks to make it so that when every young woman hits on him and claims he is handsome then I ACTUALLY CAN believe it because he DOES look handsome instead of the plain old man that you have been imposing on us so far and who has been very unpleasant to play as. And less humbly, I swear to you that if you STILL do NOT provide any opportunity to arrest Felix after having already imposed on us to ignore his very suspicious behavior for so long then I will go postal because I can only take so much frustration before I unleash it all... I was told that this game's development has been slowed down by the author adding evermore girls to date. However, the last girl added to the characters sheet so far is Kamaria and she has been introduced before the protagonist even became King, there has been no new girl since then, all girls have already been introduced from the start and we already met the leaders of all factions in Caudium so the only new girls who I have been expecting to meet are the Princesses from other Kingdoms like we already did Princess Estrid from the Danish Kingdom. The harem includes 12 women so far, 15 if I hadn't rejected 3, which is not an unreasonable amount for an imperial harem. However, I dislike the unrealism of every woman being attracted to such an unattractive ugly old man, I wish the protagonist would be redesigned to ACTUALLY look handsome for the sake of credibility, and I dislike having to play favorites which is why I invited no one in the villa if I can't invite everyone and I hope to be able to create a Council of Queens instead of choosing one Queen which would be unfair and because each woman features her own originality to contribute to the harem so it would make sense to work the same way politically which is why I want to create a Council of Queens to allow every woman of my harem to support me politically just as they have already been doing privately. 🙂 And this is why the excruciatingly slow progress of this story has been really frustrating because it holds so many possibilities and none of them has been explored so far because we have been wasting time with obvious plots which should have already been solved since Lydia and Isabella should have been arrested for treason at the same time as Aristhenes already and Felix too should have already been at least questioned for his VERY OBVIOUS suspicious behavior which we have been imposed to ignore for too long already and the damn thing has not even been updated anymore for damn years already! So how much longer do you imagine it will take to explore all of this story's possibilities?! That is, IF they are explored instead of keeping wasting our time with obvious plots and wasting this story's immense potential...

Disappointing wasted potential...

I had a hard time with melee fighting because melee fighters are a hell of a lot slower than ranged fighters! The game would like you to perform combos but how am I supposed to do that when I am not allowed to chain my attacks quickly since I have to actually wait for the timing to be right, which gives enemies much overtures to hit me and break my combos? So I found melee fighting almost impossible in this game and I stuck with first person shooter, which felt wrong in this game which was clearly not designed to be a FPS but it is the only way of fighting efficiently as it goes faster than sluggish melee fighting! That is, when I was alone... because everything changed since I was no more alone! Indeed, since my team of 4 was finally formed, combats have become a hell of a lot more fun than the massive pain they are alone! When I started the game for the first time, I couldn't for the love of me perform any of those fabled combos that the tutorial told me about because I was constantly surrounded by enemies who ganged up on me and made it impossible to chain two strikes without getting interrupted by enemies hitting on me! And about blocking and dodging incoming strikes? Fat chance! I was way too slow to react efficiently! This game makes you assemble a party of Tetsu's 4 Chosen Champions' descendants and makes such a big deal of it only to unceremoniously drop 3 of them who become irrelevant spectators while only one of them actually battles Heigou all alone and reward you with a rushed generic conclusion making you feel that ever playing this game was a waste of time. To be honest, everything in this game feels unfinished. You might love Sudeki because you played it as a kid so it is part of your childhood which you remember fondly with nostalgia however it inspires me no nostalgia as I first played it as a grown-up experienced gamer decades after its release and while I know how to appreciate good old games, this one left me thoroughly unsatisfied. Both Sudeki and Fable were ARPGs developed simultaneously and published by Microsoft Game Studios for their new X-Box console then ported to PC. However, Fable was so successful that it spawned a series whereas Sudeki was completely abandoned and forgotten. Both games were managed by the same publisher, so they had the same resources at their disposal and the same schedule and they had to fit the same technical limitations of the X-Box, however Fable was a thoroughly crafted game whereas Sudeki failed at everything. Both studios promised too much however Lionhead Studios knew what they were doing whereas Climax Studios didn't. Moreover, both games were ported from X-Box to PC the same year however Fable was optimized for PC whereas Sudeki was ported on PC as it was on X-Box, it was not optimized for PC, and that's why it causes so much troubles to make it play properly on PC whereas Fable: The Lost Chapters is ready out-of-the-box, even 20 years later, it still doesn't require any tinkering to make it play flawlessly with nowadays PCs, that's what quality is and that's what Sudeki isn't.

Impostor

The original Prey was developed by 3D Realms and Human Head Studios and released in 2006. It was an amazing FPS made with an heavily modified version of Doom 3's engine and which used portals and gravity in an astounding way (a year before the first Portal). The game told us the story of Tommy Domasi, a cherokee who got abducted along with his girlfriend and his grandpa by aliens into an organic living spaceship called The Sphere. There he discovers that aliens are harvesting Earth and that they process humans as food to feed The Sphere. He used to reject his native american origins, but in The Sphere, he discovers his latent cherokee abilities. As a cherokee, he is able to project his spirit out of his body to get past forcefields and solve puzzles. His spirit can shoot arrows with a bow. When he dies, his spirit is sent into the spirits' world where he must shoot evil spirits to drain their health and spiritual energy before getting back into his body left in the material world. After his first death, when he comes back into the material world, some evil spirits from the spirits' world follow him into the material world and possess bodies of dead humans who become creepy encounters. The game is full of breathtaking scripted events, such as a Boeing which is tracted by The Sphere and which crashes into it in a spectacular scripted event (a year before BioShock). The story is deep if you pay attention to it. The final encounter with The Mother brings memorable revelations but I don't want to spoil your discovery so I will shut up about it. The Sphere is huge! Sometimes you feel tiny in The Sphere and you are amazed at the gigantic surrounding! The design is beautiful and original, everything is living, since remember, The Sphere is an organic living spaceship and everything inside it is living, even weapons. All of the weapons are organic living things which move in your hands, look at you, try to get out of your hands, try to bite you, which is funny and original. To sum it all up: Prey is a great original FPS from 2006 made by Human Head Studios under contract for 3D Realms and Human Head Studios was developing a sequel Prey 2 as an open-world galactic bounty-hunting game which was going to be a masterpiece in video-games' history! As a matter of facts, Prey 2 was so awesome and impressed its publisher Bethesda Softworks so much that they decided to own Human Head Studios. Human Head Studios were founded by Raven Software's employees after Activision bought Raven Software specifically because they didn't want to be owned by anyone. Raven Software were the creators of ShadowCaster, CyClones, Heretic and Hexen series, Necrodome, Take No Prisoner, MageSlayer, Soldier of Fortune, Star Trek Voyager Elite Force, Star Wars Jedi Knight Outcast and Academy so they were close to id Software and one of the founding pillars of First Person Shooters. While Raven Software developed Quake 4 under Activision, Human Head Studios developed Prey with 3D Realms. Therefore, Human Head Studios logically declined Bethesda Softworks' "offer" to own them. Bethesda then sabotaged Prey 2's release out of spite, they started requesting always more pointless changes to Prey 2 with impossible deadlines so Human Head Studios could never fulfill their impossible requests, they stopped paying the game's developers cornering the studio to bankruptcy to force them to surrender and accept to sell themselves just as they previously had done to Arkane Studios during Dishonored's development. But unlike Arkane who surrendered their freedom and sold themselves, Human Head Studios stayed determined to not surrender to Bethesda's dirty tactics and chose death over enslavement. Eventually, the contract between Human Head Studios and Bethesda came to an end but Bethesda owned Prey's "intellectual property" so Human Head Studios was not allowed to release Prey 2 and this masterpiece got unfairly wasted while Bethesda gave away "Prey" to the other developer that they successfully enslaved, Arkane, to recycle it into an unrelated game which Arkane accepted. Not only did Arkane Studios surrendered and sold themselves to Bethesda Softworks but they also accepted to steal Prey from their fellow developer Human Head Studios. Moreover, Bethesda has removed the original Prey from all stores like a murderer hides their victim's body to pretend nothing happened hoping that no one would notice the absence. Ever since Bethesda sabotaged and cancelled Prey 2's release and destroyed Human Head Studios and Arkane accepted to steal Prey from their fellow developers, I have been boycotting Bethesda Softworks, Arkane Studios and specifically this game for all being involved into the destruction of a promising developer who was a founding pillar of a whole prolific kind of video-games along with the sabotage and theft of their ultimate creation and since the original Prey has officially become abandonware and has been freely available while still being updated, remastered, modded and expanded by its active fans community, I'd rather replay the original Prey while discovering its new updates and mods than reward Bethesda and Arkane for their shared unforgivable crime by playing this impostor.
