Wait for more content Edit 2: 2 years, basically nothing. Game goes on sale for $1, all signs point to an abandoned cash grab.

Looks OK...but extremely short currently. It would be better as a free demo in this form. At this point as I'm forced to recommend or not I'd have to say NO, but really I'm sitting on the fence it could be good in the future and the basics are there, its not just ready yet.
High quality renders and animations. Almost no content. Delays and slow updates. What is here should be a demo. The game is early access so I may change my mind in 15 years when the full game releases.

Horniness scale
Each game gets a score from 1 to 5 hearts. Higher means more explicit adult content.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 1 | Raunchy / softcore — suggestive themes, light fanservice, or mature humor; little or no on-screen explicit sexual content. |
| 2 | Spicy but restrained — clear adult intent (nudity, strong innuendo, or brief suggestive scenes) without sustained explicit focus. |
| 3 | Clearly adult — recurring sexual content or nudity as a meaningful part of the experience, but not the sole focus of the game. |
| 4 | Strongly explicit — graphic sexual themes, extended explicit stills or text, or gameplay built heavily around adult situations. |
| 5 | Explicit and often animated — graphic sexual content that is frequently animated or interactive; core to what you see and do in the game. |

Love the visuals and the side missions. The character banter is top tier.
Nyra
Story is solid and the combat feels great, just wish there was more UI customization.
Kiro
I keep coming back after every update. The new scenes were worth it.
