This is a difficult review to write, to be honest. I generally enjoyed the game, but upon completing the game 100%, I can't help but feel massively disappointed. The art style is what drew me in, the characters of interest (women) are gorgeous. Although the design of the men is quite boring. There is very little in the way of character development outside of the lizard woman, most characters remain exactly the same throughout. What little world-building is here only serves to confuse the player, since the most unique aspects are glossed over and never touched on again, or are merely hinted at several times within dialogue. It almost feels like this is meant to be a sequel for a different game that I'm not aware of or doesn't exist. The duration is largely a high point, short and sweet games like this are a favorite of mine, because they are usually more content dense than the long VNs in the genre. This one is sorely lacking in the number of explicit scenes. In fact, the 30 second preview video on this Steam page shows over half of the animated sex scenes in full glory (arguably, all the best scenes). I wanted so much more action from this game, but it just isn't there. The match-3 game is great and creative, and is even a fairly balanced challenge. You could probably 100% the game like me in less time than I did, (I cooked dinner and answered phone calls while playing). It is really short. I would really like the devs to pack this game with more scenes, and make most of them animated, rather than still images. Lots of potential, especially with the art being so good, but I'm disappointed overall.

It's plot is a little all over the place, but that might be the weird dialog and me staying up too late to 100% this. Kept me fairly engaged, though!

I'm new to the whole "Match 3" genre, but compared to pretty much every other match 3 I've seen it's more puzzle focused. When you get past the dialog you get set up with a match 3 segment. Each one sets you up with a goal, sometimes 2 and a set amount of turns. Each goal is either a scene or a branching path option. The story ends up the same, but each goal lets you follow different characters and/or trigger scenes with them.

The goals are varied as are the obstacles each level layout presents. Some goals are simple. Like "Match X amount of a specific type." While others can be "clear the spreading blocks." There are others and most are easy, but some do become pretty challenging.

That could be my lack of experience with the genre talking, but some of the games were pretty tough and took a lot of attempts. I noticed I was getting gold with the matching stuff, but I didn't buy or use power-ups. That also might have contributed to my struggle, but I think it's just a testament that you can beat it without them.

The art is pretty good. You can see most of it in the promotional material, but it's still nice. Some scenes are still images, but there's a decent amount of animation. The material is pretty varied in it's poses, too. I don't think I saw a gallery, but I might just be blind (it's too late to be writing this, but here I am going for it while it's still fresh in my mind).

TL;DR
Disclaimer: I'm new to match 3s.
Art is good, story is ok, gameplay is surprisingly solid. If you still have reservations you can wait for a sale, but I can recommend it at base price well enough.

Great game but holy crap i feel like i am high reading some of the dialog.
