Fresh Starts is a game where you finally move away from your home town to the big city, but Hutinberg is an unforgiving place and you might need to do... immoral things in order to make your place in the town. To what lengths are you willing to go to stay in the city? Will you stay true to who you are, or will you change to try to fit in? Only time will tell...
As of Beta, the game --still-- heavily revolves around sissification of the PC, most event revolving around said theme. However, there are plans in the future to open new paths, but also to implement a female character. The game doesn't offer much story wise at the time, but all the content is optional, which felt really important as the game is supposed to be a "sandbox". However, major features keep being added with each update, making the game quite complex despite its early stage of development.

I might come back and edit this once I get further, I'm not very far in it yet, but I had some feedback that I wanted to capture before I forget about it.
I think this definitely has potential. From what I can tell, it seems to be pretty well written. The intro does a good job at capturing your interest and wanting you to continue through it. I think a way to improve the intro would be a bit more visuals, especially when meeting and interacting with people.
I don't really like how the author is putting quotes around "her" when referring to the first sissy MC comes across from The Red Vixen, I think you could do without that. You may not mean it that way, but it could be perceived negatively.
I'm also not sure why there isn't a shower in the locker room of the gym. "I should probably shower when I get home." I mean sure, but like, you could also just shower at the gym. What kind of gym doesn't have a shower in the locker room? lol.
Idk, just some little things that are irking me so far. Gonna keep going though.
Is this a good game? Yes.
Do I enjoy playing it? Yes.
Is it a grind? Yes.
Can it be monotonous? Yes.
The only way to really make money in the game is to start as the rich kid (starts with more money and a laptop), and watch porn to reduce your dignity so you can work the gloryhole at the garage. And buy a webcam and start streaming. Oh, and the on-line 'jobs'.
Also, while you can become dominant, the game is geared towards the MC becoming a submissive (sissy) slut.
What I personally would like to see are:
The option to undertake more college courses (finish one, then sign up for another semester on a different course).
More employment opportunities (regular and sexual).
More npc's to actually interact with.
Multiple actual and playable path development (Dominant, submissive, addict, whore, etc...)
Do I like the game? Absolutely. It has good writing, the images fit the scenes, and you feel like you're accomplishing something when you achieve a goal. But it's also a grind early, falls into a routine until you start transitioning, and you are constantly risking running out of money. Also, it could use a good guide or wiki to explain the details of how the game works. For instance, when the MC is invited to a party, you are supposed to be in your room after a certain time to be able to go. That's not obvious, or explained in the guide. The author has been good about fixing bugs and putting out patches as well.
I'd recommend giving it a try, but stick with it for a while. You'll find it worth the effort
The game continues to grow and expand and appreciate the effort and time you have put in. It would be hard to fault a game that is free to play and if I did find fault it would be a SIMPLE case of not playing. The choice of pictures is good and the writing for the most part free of spelling errors. I tend to checkout authors of bad reviews so I can check out their games to see how its done but only once have I ever found one with their own games. So keep up the good work and dedication because the game is worth it.
People have commented on the amount of content well after playing for hours and repeating the same actions again and agatin and again the content must be after years of game time. Followed all the hints and tips but very little triggered as everything is blocked by money (constantly drained and not easy to earn), time (it takes ages to do everything), bug (lots of those) and mechanics that add nothing to the whole experience. In all honesty the game needs ripping down and starting again. Remove most of the crap filler and get to the story and the themes.
At the moment impossible to recormend wasting your time on this game with so many better examplse out there.
