I was a playtester for this game and provided feedback during development and got a free key out of it. So take my review with a grain of salt.

I recommend this game if you've been a fan of Gastronomic Games for the past 4 years and enjoy the romantic component of Matthew's games - dating, relationships, jealously, all that good stuff. The game is now powered by RenPy, which fits the theme well, as old RPG Maker didn't age well and got little to offer this kind of games to begin with. Holiday with Gwen proves you don't need attributes, stats or concepts like "city prosperity" or "police suspicion" for a nice game. Compared to the other SoR and Pegasus games, this one has less emphasis on action and story, and instead focuses on spending quality time with your significant other, with maybe a bit of fun on the side. And a relaxing kind of game with little drama is exactly what we all need in 2022.

As for criticisms, I don't recommend this game if you're looking for a level of sexual content akin to Being a ♥♥♥, College Kings or FreshWomen, as even though the renders are quite nice and fan service is a thing, on the whole things are pretty tame here by design, so you might find detail and quality underwhelming. In addition, even though you can make different choices, most of them boil down to interacting with Gwen romantically... or not. In the latter case, you will just end up missing out on a lot of content, and second girl Serenity is really more of an episodic appearance and doesn't get enough screentime.

TL;DR
Get it you like relaxed visual novels with dating and romance, and especially if you're fan of Gwen from Snares of Ruin franchise.. who isn't?

Visual novel where you try to uncover a conspiracy. Along the way, you can get closer to your partner Gwen. Or someone else. Decent enough.

I played it after completing all three Snares of Ruin games.

Even if it's totally different, I liked this game too, good story and convos. BUT Gwen is an elf and in this game she's portrayed as a human. I didn't like that.

Also, the renders are kind of amateurish, but this dev used RPG maker for previous games, so I guess he will need more time to adjust to Renpy and make good renders with DAZ3D assets.

You are a couple that's more or less on a business trip and you're both working from the start of the story line. There is some animation but it needs work and/or would of been better just to of not included it. Granted I only played for about 30 mins but I got bored kinda fast. This is on the cheap side but I can't say it was worth the money at this time.

This is ok game. I think. Very short but quite cheap.
