v1.0.3 (PC):
I am very impressed by this visual novel. I found the artwork to be fantastic and enjoyable, the story to be overall very coherent and the interactivity from the game events entertaining and at times challenging.
The main character is someone you can empathize with, but their motivations are very erratic. One moment they're seeking independence from their "lot in life" off the encounter that started the entire story, but from the decisions you make it can be very easy to have them flipped mentally to be a bimbo hussy with the effect lurking in every future encounter you come across. While it does create some mood whiplash at times, by large it's acceptable under the story: they're suffering from the effects of wild magic after all and it's still active.
The NPCs and supporting characters you run across all to this final version have personality and developed back stories. Their motivations are all different and their effects on the main character do link in to the transformations on offer with this game. Your choices do matter and if you are careless you can find yourself at a Bad End (and you'll typically be warned right when you're on the edge of one) or causing discord within your social circle. I did find it a little strange how rape-happy two of the supporting characters are, but again I can give it a pass from not looking at it from the perspective of the story world: they're a lot more liberal than I expected.
The interactivity within the game can be limited or left at full, depending on your preference. Combat is optional if you so choose but turning it off can affect events. There are items you can buy from a shop to help you in combat and all of the NPCs and your avatar can be levelled up with additional skills to use in the combat encounters. Active CYOA is in play in the game, much in the way that choice selection occurs in any visual novel, but there are consequences to your actions (transformations chiefly) and do risk leading to Bad Ends. Fortunately if you hit a bad end without saving, the game will take you back a step so you can see the other paths.
The artwork is top notch. While there is still bug fixing involving character transitions going on (only an orange outline instead of the character at one beach scene) and some of the artwork I was being shown did not exactly match the current state of my character, for the most part it was correct. I was quite amused to find that certain transformations do affect the story world past your avatar to maintain the "reality" being set around the wild magic at play (later main story event): it was a really nice touch. The backgrounds though frequently get same-same in both the visual novel sections and the combat sections, but it's not enough to be anything other than a passing observation nuisance.
Minor bugs are currently in the game the further you go. Got to see a strange exploding fireball graphic at one point that kept going throughout an entire fight and at a later fight against two special enemies with 2x2 grid hitboxes, the game didn't let my avatar or some combat actions that should have been working trigger. I was able to cope with it and I am sure you can too.
TL;DR this is a great visual novel/interactive CYOA game to go through at least once with good transformations and the artwork makes it all worth it. Consider buying it on Steam to reward the game developers.
This is a very charming story, very lacking in polish. But polish is one of the least important things to my enjoyment of a story, so...
First of all, this is my third ever review and like the other two it's only because this is a true Gem! the writing ist just phenomenal and i really wasn't playing it for the sex scenes, like i usually do. So if your just searching for a quick Fap like i usually do still check by! because you might end up enyoing this quite a lot like me!
I liked this game, though I didn't fancy the combat so I had that turned off, since I was playing more for the story and the X scenes.
So, story, well, it's there. The primary motivation is to get your male body back, but it seems that the continued acts of debauchery that leave the MC cock-dumb have no significant transformative effects on Cat's personality. I think the only meaningful asides I've seen is the Duad romancing, where the MC remarks that their tastes perhaps are changing or that they might be falling for someone. Anyway, I think that the story is there, the cow storyline or Holstaur as they are called in-game is pretty funny, you should consider trying that branch. So, I kinda dig it. The few sex scenes in between are a nifty bonus. It's not particularly tittilating due to the limited artwork, but the textual descriptions are rather verbose, so it can still get you in the mood.
Alrighty you wankers, go play this game. If you do like RPG/teambuilding elements, leave the combat on. I'm just someone with too little time and too many games to play, so to optimize my experience, I left combat off for less grinding, but I'm sure it's fun, involved, and interesting.
Oh, before I forget, I do love the ability to change the appearance, but it doesn't seem to be reflected in the various X scenes, pls fix.
The creator mentions in the beginning of the game that choices should matter. The game has a ton of content, but in the first half of the game, you are offered a lot of choices...that don't matter. At all, outside of possible cosmetic changes. In the second half, next to know choices at all. And the ones you DO get, mean little to nothing. It seems the creator started out with a huge amount of inspiration and desire to deliver a great RPG experience. Playing the game, it seems to me that they lost all inspiration and desire. And are only working on the game to say they, "completed it," Nothing you do in this game contributes to the story outside of NPC's commenting on your state. That is not an RPG. That is not a choice based game. That is an illusion. In the grand scheme of RPG games, this is NOT a Fallout: New Vegas sort of RPG, where choices actually make a difference. It's a Fallout 4, a game with the illusion of choice and nothing actually means anything.
