Game Review from Jonnymelabo (Patreon)

A couple days ago  Jonnymelabo  creator of Pact With a Witch was kind enough to write a review of my game [below]. I've been a big fan of his game for quite some time. What drew me to  Pact With a Witch  is not only the story, which is great, but the excellent artwork he brings to his game. His close ups and pans are some of the best I've seen. I recommend giving it a look.

Here's Jonnymelabo's review in it's entirety. The 'Cons" are absolutely true, but the game continues to progress almost every day.

Hermaphrodity and the Mystery of the Missing Specimens. (Damn... it´s like Supercalifragi...)

Game is not done by Renpy, is HTML, but for my surprise I was not a game with walls of text, instead, looks pretty like a renpy game.

It´s still really on a very, very early development, so my advice would be wait a bit longer before playing it, but still, looks really promising.

Art is not consistent, there is good art and really not very good art on the game, I guess they are done by the developer as place holders for in future change that for a better art.

I also liked the “freedom” to choose the best approach, if you want to be a sissy, to become a woman or being male and dominant, if you know me, you know I tried to achieve this last route… apparently is the less worked so far, but it´s good that still there´s an option for it.

Working hours in different kind of jobs is a bit repetitive and I must admit it took long before I could achieve enough money to start enjoying the game, but I guess that´s in part because is still on early development.

PROS:
- Good idea.
- Freedom to become a sissy or a dominant male.
- Art looks good. (when are not place holders)
- It´s pretty easy to read.

- Money management and job evolution is well balanced and engaging. (You earn more and more more money within time.

- Relationship with the Land Lord is pretty interesting, not the typical horny Land Lord.

CONS:

- It´s still very early on the development.

- A lot of images are still placeholders with low quality.

- Increase your money is slow and very repetitive.

- Plot is still very simple and cliche. (I hope he can improve it in time).

- Relationship with other characters beyond Land Lord are very simple, Female flatmates  and bosses, I guess that´s because it´s still very early.

- I didn't like you can´t work on the detective agency if you don´t become a sissy, no matter what, at least you have the option to work for construction, which looks a bit more mainly… but even thought… a detective agency that you have to become a sissy… it´s a bit weird… xD

- The tittle. It´s the longest tittle I ever seen in my life… and even after 2 hours playing I still don´t understand why is that title… xD

- In his Patreon page all posts are private, I hope he will change that, But I can understand, fear of  Patreon ban is dangerous…

Conclusion:

Interesting idea with a promising future, in a very early stage.

He needs more good art, but specially I think he needs to work better on character personalities and job development. Art is important, but plot, for me, is the key to feel immersive on the story and the universe I´m playing.

As always, this is only my personal opinion. Take your chances and the game yourself and give me your opinion about it too if you want.

Thanks for reading and your support. ^^
