It's great to finally see an update to the reversal storyline, thank you! :D
Originally, in earlier builds, it felt quite rough, and I really didn't have a great time. Now things have changed, plenty more of choices, routes, quite more well worded, and they do feel unique. Late growth of the game makes it even more promising! They do seem to work hard in this VN. I still don't love all the characters, personal issue, not so much about the novel. Writting improved a lot, but it can still improve in a couple of sentences, not that they are important. Dev is probably overworking the storylines, so while they are coming out quite well, they might hit a writer's block if they don't take it slower.
Anyway, I consider it quite amazing so far.
With the content here so far, I'm a big fan of the way hypnosis is handled - slowly decreasing the girls' will to resist or disobey. That being said, some of the endings are quite disappointing. Just when you think you've won and gotten everyone under your control, you'll be arrested or regret your decision, which goes against most of the choices made leading up to such an ending. I think the main character, given that certain choices are made, should be a bit more ruthless about his conquest of the girls.
Can't say I'm a fan, went through most endings, it just feels like anti-hypno fetish propaganda. Every ending involving hypnosis ends with him making himself miserable or arrested for starting a cult, even the endings where you directly say you don't care about messing with their minds, even the consensual hypnosis endings end with him being with another girl he didn't hypnotize. The only ones that end with a "positive note" are the turn every woman into a spy ending and turn them into robots which are both more extreme versions of just changing the target of their affections and are in the case of the robots more noticable.
All in all I felt annoyed by this game, felt more like reading a religious pamphlet trying to make me feel like a sinner for liking something then a fetish game.
i believe this is the first time i actually bother to review a game. i've fallen in love with it due to it's multiple characters, storylines, and topics.
there's several girls and they all have multiple paths and endings. lots of fun and not-so-fun-but-scary hypno content!
