Sup my Maggot Brothers!

Never really played an 'adult game' before and not really any visual novels (does persona count? lmao), have a friend that plays quite a few visual novels and I meme'd on them. So they 'dared / egged?' me to play this game and if I liked it I had to write a review on it so here I am. Genuinely thought this game was going to be cringe as hell but I was very wrong;

From the moment I completed Chapter 1 of Being a ♥♥♥, I knew I was in for a unique experience, but the first two episodes exceeded all my expectations. This adult visual novel combines mature themes with an engaging storyline, rich character development, and superb graphics, creating a thoroughly immersive and enjoyable experience.

Story and Characters:

The narrative in "Being a ♥♥♥" is both compelling and well-crafted. You step into the shoes of a young man navigating his first year of college, filled with the excitement, challenges, and chaos that come with it. The writing is sharp, witty, and at times, deeply emotional. The dialogue feels natural, making it easy to connect with the characters and their various plights.

The characters themselves are standout features of the game. Each one is distinct, with their own backgrounds, personalities, and arcs. From your best friend Derek, who adds a lot of humor and camaraderie, to the intriguing female characters you meet along the way, every interaction feels meaningful. The game does an excellent job of balancing romance, friendship, and rivalry, creating a dynamic and engaging social environment.

Visuals and Art Style:

The visual quality of "Being a ♥♥♥" is nothing short of stunning. The character models are beautifully rendered with great attention to detail, making every scene a visual treat. The backgrounds are equally impressive, with a high level of detail that brings the game's various locations to life. The use of lighting and shadows adds depth and realism, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.

Gameplay and Choices:

One of the most impressive aspects of "Being a ♥♥♥" is its choice-driven gameplay. Your decisions significantly impact the story, leading to multiple branching paths and various outcomes. This replayability factor is fantastic, encouraging players to explore different choices and experience the game from multiple angles. The choices are ...relatively morally grey, adding complexity and depth to the narrative. I completed both 'types' of run I guess and both of them were enjoyable.

The inclusion of mini-games and puzzles breaks up the standard visual novel format, adding variety and keeping the gameplay engaging. Whether you're mixing drinks, solving riddles, or participating in mini-game challenges, there's always something fun to do.


Sound and Music:

The sound design in "Being a ♥♥♥" complements the game perfectly. The soundtrack is a standout, featuring a mix of upbeat tracks and more mellow tunes that match the game's tone and pacing beautifully. Each piece of music enhances the atmosphere, whether you're in a tense moment or a lighthearted scene.

Overall Experience: 9/10

"Being a ♥♥♥: Episodes 1 & 2" delivers an outstanding start to what promises to be an exceptional series. The combination of a gripping story, well-developed characters, stunning visuals, and engaging gameplay makes it a must-play for fans of adult visual novels. It's a game that not only entertains but also challenges you to think about your choices and their consequences.

DrPinkCake has created a masterful blend of narrative and interactivity, making "Being a ♥♥♥" a standout title in the genre. If you're looking for a game that offers both depth and fun, look no further. These first two episodes are just the beginning, and I can't wait to see where the story goes from here. If you're not into the Adult stuff, I would still recommend the game because it's honestly just a cozy and hilarious game. DO NOT READ ANY GUIDES ETC. ON FIRST PLAYTHROUGH. I went in blind on my first run and it was amazing, guides would've definitely ruined it.

Derek best Maggot Brother for life. I will now patiently wait for Season 3 to be completed and come to Steam. Definitely opened my eyes and perspective in terms of gaming, went in thinking it'd be garbage, came out having had an absolute blast.
