I haven't encoutered any grind at all. It goes day by day like any other VN. No open sandbox or any of the sort. Renders are good, storywise not really my cup of tea though.
The dark alternative path of Midlife Crisis (short side story) or the fear path in TheGuardian.
Regarding your second point: If you're not opposed to text-based games then Family Infestation or Invasive Species could match your request.
"when it's finished." -> I don't think it will ever be unless they stop rewriting the chapters all the time and stop milking their patreons. The art carries this game heavily. Without it a lot fewer people would play it because honestly the minigames are not that fun.
This is the artist I am...
Depends on the content really. Most "western" games are using RenPy, while most "japanese" style games use RPG maker. My preference would be RenPy though as you can easily create saves/roll back and or modify the files/cheat if necessary. Keeps a lot of tedious work out of the way if you want to...
They are still not done with the tech update? I just checked and holy moly, I downloaded the game in 2020, when the update just started... Such a shame because the art is really, really good. And kink wise there is really something for everyone in this game.
Yea, I can highly recommend the mod though! More body types would be indeed nice though. Currently you can only increase/decrease the size, make 'em thick or skinny, but that's about it. And once you've seen one type, you've seen them all.
T.b.h. you haven't missed much in the end. The start is great, but it sadly drops off I would say after around 2/3 of the game. The art aged really well though. The models still hold up in my opinion.
I avoid these types of games. A) you are limited by the actual actor's/actress' content and B) stylistic wise these types of games often end up being HTML games in Sugarcube or something, which I am not a fan of...
