TL;DR: would recommend, esp. if you liked VIRTUES already. Nice fantasy story and sexy characters. Nice arc/progression involving the main villain. Caters esp. well to fans of big tits. If you can, perhaps worthwhile to wait for (hopefully bugfixed) v0.12 (see issues below). Performance should (could) be fine (also for older PCs), but game/engine seems to suffer from serious memory leakage, causing issues.
[version, env] 0.11 / PC/Win/mouse
[play time] medium ~10-11h? (estimate, fast playthrough w/ lots of ctrl (grind and some story) skipping. Did take my time to enjoy some bits.))
Review based on a 2 weeks old draft, and is rough around the edges.
It's basically VIRTUES, but with a fantasy / magic / super hero/villain story universe.
I went through it fast, but will wait for future (hopefully bugfixed) update and do a normal / slow paced run.
At times I had the feeling that (in some aspects) models in VIRTUES were more detailed, but that might well be imagination, or due to bar raised in the meantime by all the HQ stuff we get spoiled with. (UPD: I believe Heather's hair is (notable) lacking in detail, bringing the quality/experience down a notch there. A bit of a shame (esp. since she's the principal LI))
Critical note on the progression / sandbox / free roam: the LIs you get involved with early on will have their content depleted, while you continue with (content of) other LIs.
There should be more options to continue to have a sexy time with the early LIs. If I recall correctly there e.g. wasn't a way to (in-game) have actual sex w/ Heather again. When u develop with her, she gets all this oversexed, and then when you're done with her content it all falls flat. Feels off, and I think that can be remedied by being able to continue having sex with her (revisiting scenes).
At a certain point in time I did more & more time skipping just to get to events to progress with the final LI(s) that had content. Hope as development of this title progresses, all this gets smoothed out, and the story lines of all LIs keep going simultaneously (as much as possible). (Not sure (can't recall) to what extent VIRTUES suffered from this.)
Not sure if the dev(s) read(s) these, but I'll leave some issues I came across & suggestions for improvement below. Biggest issue seems to be huge leaking of memory related to loading of video assets.
I read some remarks regarding performance / hw requirements here & there.
Performance (animations) was good on my 8GB archaic potato PC (it has more trouble w/ some (unoptimized) ren'py titles), animation/assets loading was what stalled the game.
Over time I saw the game hogging up RAM, seems like a memory leak related to the loading of (animation/video) assets. Remedy: restart (this also helps with the bad loading times, which increase as your RAM gets clogged).
