Overall rating 6/10 - Okay, if you get it on a good sale, and are looking for a pretty, casual time waster.

Not a great game, but not the worst "choices matter visual novel" I have played.

Pros:
1) Nice grahics, very pretty, but nothing truly spectacular
2) Interesting story, but nothing too deep or complex. A bit simple and that can be both good and bad for a visual novel where choices matter.
3) Runs great, no bugs or technical issues, even a a toaster.
4) Tons of gratuitous sex, violence, more sex,, more violence. All subjective, - these could be either a plus or minus for different preferences.Please be aware that both hetero and ♥♥♥♥ "romance" and sex is part of the story. If this offends you, then this ISN'T the game for you.
5) You play 2 characters, one male, one female. So you have a male protagonist and a female protagonist. If you are stuck on only playing one or the othe, this game is not for you.
6) Trading Cards and achievements- TC's drop as expected, are cheap to buy fr the badge, and the achievements all are easy enough to get for a 100% game, if that's your interest. But the 100% game will not come quickly, it will require multiple playthroughs to unlock the different ending achievements.

Cons:
1) Lots of gratuitous sex and violence. Basically, no real "romance", justt kinky, sloppy sex and many innuendos, used to pad a fairly weak overall story.
2) Choices do matter, but I was never quite sure how they mattered. An icon shows in the top right corner when something happens due to one of your choices, but the clarity of how that choice affected the outcome is not made clear, at all.
3) Limited replay. TONS of text, that makes the game somewhat slow,if you read and consider it all. I will replay to get all possible endings, but after the first playthrough of 4.7 hours, I feel like I can just rapidly click through without paying attention to anything but where I make a choice, and will simply make different ones than I did before. The story is not that deep, and does not draw me in enough to care if I missed any "juicy tidbits" when I play through again.
4) Too much dependance on the gratuitous sex, violence, alcohol and drug useage. I would have liked a more fleshed out and complex story, without the R rated stuff thrown in for padding to make the playtime go longer. Leave out the sex, violence, alcohol and drugs, and the playtime would be cut in half as far as playtime goes, and the story would be very dry and uninteresting.
5) The music was loud, repetitive, and not that interesting. Mostly annoyingly loud and repetitive.
6) Too much dependance on racial and cultural stereotypes, none jarringly negative, but still there, and still fairly obvious stereotypes. Spme of these could be "offensive" to the truly "sensitive" types out there. They shouldn;t be, but they will be too those who are easily triggered.

Good looking game, a decent time waster if you have nothing better to do. But not something I would recommend paying anywhere near full price for. Very few settings options for anything, audi, video, music, resolutions, etc. But it's a simple visual novel, I suppose it doesn;t need many. But being able to trun the music down, isntead of only being able to turn it off, would have been nice, at the very least.

I got the game on sale. at a deep discount, so I am not disappointed too greatly with the time I got from it, and te time i will waste on it to get all achievements. But I would NEVER pay full price for this game. I would be ticked off if I had.

Your Mileage May Vary. Widely.

10/10 - as a must have, for me, personally. YMMV.

What to say, that hasn't already been said?

This is a game, that is more of an experience, with game elements.

The entire game made me think back, over as many of the 50 years of my life as I could remember. Thinking about what I could have, should have, wanted to do do differently. Wonderingg what my life would be like if I had done things differently, and if it would have even mattered. Wondering if I would be the same person that I am now, if I had done things differently. And wondering if I changed the course of my life. would I have beomce a better person. or a worse one.

If you are looking just for quick, easy achievements, and Trading cards, looking for pew pew pew combat, looking for difficult puzzles... this isn;t the game for you. Sire, you can idle for TC's. The single ahievement for a "perfect" game will come. But, to really get the most out of this game, you need (IMHP) to go into it with a willingness, and perhaps an ability, to look at things from a very different perspective, be open to feelinmg joy, pain, happpiness, sadness, understanding, confusion, success, frustation... one after the other, seperately, and all at once.

It is an experience. With game elements. If you aren;t open to the experience, you probably won;t enjoy this game at all. I enjoyed it, and I cried. At the same time.

If you do nothing else, play the Minisode 2. And don't Alt>Tab out before you see and read the entire message at the end. I am still sitting here, and likely will be for some time, wondering how he is, if he made it through or not, and how many lives he touched, without knowing he did so. As a survivor myself, I hope he made it. And if not, I hope he made it to the Moon.

Best aRPG out there?
No idea. That is a rather subjective thing. What is "best" for me, may be "worst" for you.
*shrugs*

But I enjoy this game, even if i suck at it, because I refuse to min/max and follow guides.

Any game that captures my attention for more than 20 hours is doing something right.
Any that capture my attention for more than 100 hours are doing a whole lot of stuff right.
Any that capture my attention for more than 200 hours (EXCLUDING time-sink clickers... oh, my shame, so many hours wasted...) are doing almost everything rght.
Haven't found that "perfect" game yet that does every single thing right to fit my list of desires for a game, in any genre.

But this one sure does come damned close.

If you like Diablo-esque hack & slash aRPG's, if you enjoyed Titan Quest, if you are more into solo play or co-op with trusted friends (and not an Interwebz full of random trolls and griefers), this *MAY* be the game for you.

I recommend it. I really like the handcrafted dark, post-apoc world, the horrific creatures and bosses. The music fits perfectly, really sets the almost hopeless mood needed to make each little "win" feel like a miracle, like you just made salvation possible again. The art style is great, flashy, but dark and gothically dismal. Suits my tastes. It runs well, even on a 6 year old gaming rig toaster, but make sure you meet and somewhat exceed minimum specs. The game does still have some stuttering and hitching, just like every one of the Titan Quest games did/do. Lots of settings to adjust in the options menus to optimize peformance for your particular rig, and some good Steam guides that will teach a few tricks for further perf improvements, that may not be kown to many gamers.

New expac coming soon, we'll see how it affects the game perf and feels. Paid DLC, so not needed. All are optional, so start with the base game, see if it fits you, and go from there.

I like it.

5/10 rating

This is one of thsoe games that makes me really wish we has the ability to review games as "Neutral", instead of just thumbs up or thumbs down. Totally uninspired game, but not totally horrible either. Straight down the middle.

Pros:

• Nice voice acting, no unintelligable words or accents. voices have just enough emotion and tone, are are nicely paced.
  
• Decent graphics. Nothing outstanding, but nothing awful either.
• Casual and easy for adults and kids who don't want tons of challenge, but a decently fun time-killer.
• Easy puzzles, nothing that will really tax your brain. Both good and bad here.

Cons:

• Uninsipred game, predicatable story, somewhat trite and fraught with trope after trope.
• Short, very short. I finished the game in Advanced Mode in just over 2 hours, without rushing through or using Hints or Skips. The remainder of the time played shown on my account was just idling to get the TC drops.
• No replay value. None at al IMHO.
• Controls freeze up and become unresponsive quite often. I had to close and restart, or click repleatedly, or click random spots on the page to get the "Back" button to work. Pulling up inventory or dropping down the overhead menu for the map and main menu link seemed to require both luck, dogged perseverance and finding a sigle pixel hitbox somewhere by chance.
  
  So... I paid 49¢ USD for the game on sale. I got 2 hours of *relatively* enjoyable time killing out of it. If you want avery casual, almost braindead point and click adventure, with the usual run-of-the-mill easy puzzles, and aren't looking to be swept off your feet by awesomess, the game is wrth picking up during a deep discount sale. Full price? Nope. JetDogs Studios makes very uninspired, casual mobile phone type games. This is just another one of them. So it wasn't terribly disappointing, since I wasn't expecting much from it to begin with.

0/10

Worst mobile phone port ever.

Greenlit by vote boosting... GG Russians.
I was told it was a quick 9 achievements. After I bought the game, and found that the only way to get it to start a level, was to use a player found workaround, then finding no saves for the game, (just lose a ll progress if you quit the game or lose a level), and THEN being told that the only way to get the quick achievements was to use SAM...

Played (or tried to play) for 5 minutes.
Refunded right after.

Worst decision ever- buying this game.
Second worst decision ever- playing (or trying to play it).

Best decision ever- refunding right after I hit the 6 minute mark.

Not worth installing, even if you got it free somehow. Don't waste your money or time. Especially your time.

Recommended because it is FREE, and for that reason ONLY.

You don't need to spend a single cent on or in the game. But, you will waste hundreds, upon hundreds of valuable hours of your life.

Why do I even play this game?

*sits in a corner and sobs quietly, over what a sad place I have reached in my life, that I have so many hours lost on this worthless game*

84¢ USD (on sale).
1708 Achievements.
Explosions!!! Lots of explosions!!!

Actually required some thought, puzzle solving and exact timing to pass some levels, so it's not just a "click-n-get-cheevos" thing. An honestly fun, not too difficult stress reliever. Just what I needed after a rough day.

Did I mention LOTS OF EXPLOSIONS?

Yeah. It was worth every penny. All 84 of them :D

Have you never had a Repetitive Strain Injury?
Have you never blown up a mouse from mashing the LMB forcefully and rapidly?
Have you never raged because bats were stealing all of your stuff?
Have you never overfed a cute animal until it become obese enough to kill for a voodoo ritual?
Would you like to?

If you answered "YES!" to these questions,- This is the game for you!!!

Okay, seriously...

The game is very well made, and plays very well. The graphics are a good fit for the game, rather simplistic, cute, and colorful. It's an easy game to play, not a ton of real thought needed. Sound quality is good, and sound effects are good, if a bit boring and repetative. Ran very well on a toaster. Probably better on a cell phone or tablet, but not hard on a low end rig.

A TON of clicking.
A TON of clicking and clicking.
Did I mention a TON of clicking?

Cute game, will take forever to grind out some of the achievements, because you have to click the same thing 1000 tines to get them. Very casual, good time waster for long car or bus rides (where you are not the driver), or sitting and waiting for something or someone (great for sitting in a waiting room at the doctor's office).

Not a "must have" by any means, but still fun, and oddly addictive. In spite of the fact that you know your mouse and clicking finger will regret it later. Not recommended to play while sitting in church or letting your boss catch you wasting time at work (you'll be thrown out on your rump in either case...). But worth it if you get it on a good sale and are looking for mindless clicking to kill some time. And some chickens, rabbits, pigs, and other cute animals. NOT recommended if you have an unnatural fear of sneaky, thieving bats. :D

7/10 overall

I really wanted to love this game. I really did. But after just a short time, I knew that I never would.

The game is beautiful , with very nice graphics. The HOS scenes aren't terribly difficult, or terribly easy. But...

Repetitive. After a little while, the scenes are all too much the same. You quickly figure out where the object placement spots are. So you can just click randomly and repeatedly on those spots and hit every item, fairly quickly. No penalties for random clicking either, so if you have a Macro on your mouse, just sit and randomly slide your cursor over the screen, while the mouse clicks away. So you can find everything while you watch pron on the TV in the room, or whatever. Does that sound like a good thing? Perhaps for some it would be. For me it created boredom and apathy. Yes, apathy.

Energy bar. So you run out of energy very quickly. The "Magic Fountain" that is supposed to reward you with more energy refills very slowly. 30 minutes to get another 35 energy. Which you will use in 2 or 3 HOS's. You use so much energy for each HOS, that you can only do 2-4 of them as you level up, tring to get quest items. Which drop somewhat randomy.

The Quests feel like they are out of order, the game telling you to do things that you won't be able to do for several more HOS scene levels or character levels. Not only do you level up your character, but you must level up each scene rating or diffculty, and many object you need for early quests will not drop for another 1-3 scene levels. So your Quest list grows, and piles up.

Microtransactions. Yes, the game wants your IRL money. And lots of it. And it does not give you much in return for a pile of your IRL money. The amounts of virtual currency you can buy, at ridiculously high proces, will be eaten up quickly by the in game currency cost for anything you need or want. It just feels like a very greedy cash grab. The in game virtual currency flows very slowly, and the flow gets slower the further you progress. Basically funneling you into their pay-to-play microtranaction system. When I watched the credits, and saw a section for "The Big Fish Team", it clicked. This microtransaction system Big Fish Games has used for years is what drove me away from their platform and website. Cash grab, all the way.

Friends. Yes, the game is Singleplayer. But to complete some of the quest objectives, you MUST gift or recieve gifts from in game friends. And although the Steam forums does have at least one thread for sharing in game player ID's to add frends fior this purpose, you will end up adding a bunch of random people, who will be asking you for items, and may never return the favor.

Minigames. They exist, but they are really pointless IMHO. Find items through quests to socket into spaces. Puzzles (jigsaw type) are small and terribly easy. Other puzzles are mostly "turn this or slide that, randomly, until a "Click" sound happens". None are challenging, which makes them rather boring, and just another time sink for the game.

The story grows shallow and boring, very quickly. I mean VERY quickly. And the "battle" element, where you have to obtain items from HOS's, or BUY them with in game currency, to be able to get specific items to complete quests and move forward- another cash grab. And it really isn;t "battle". You will never lose a battle, or see a battle. Just click a button after you have the needed items to battle. And get the battle rewards. Which will rarely contain the quest item you can only obtain from that particular monster.

It's not a terrbile game, as far as how it looks and it's performance even on a toaster. But the obvious F2P = P2W kills it. Sure, I guess you could play free only. If you wasted most of your life waiting for your energy bar to refill, so you could play for another 5-10 minutes, before going back to waiting for your energy bar to refil again.Some people, especially those used to or able to click the buttons, spending tons of IRL money, may like this game. And it is a shame. I enjoy JetDogs' "The Labors Of Hercules" franchise, which I paid for. And which have no microtranaction cash grabs.

I can't say it is a terrible game. but I can't recommend it to anyone who wants to be able to play for free, or likes games they can play for more than 10 minutes before being forced by the game to stop and wait for 3 times that amunt of time. BUY an HOG without microtransactions instead of falling into the F2P>P2P/W pit this game digs. You'll be better off.

Overall rating of 4/10 : Not worth it, even for "free".

Sorry JetDogs. but you really blew it on this. It could have been areally enjoyable casual HOG. Could have been. Uninstalled and had Steam remove the game permanently from my Library.
