I played through the game. I think it's a big step up from their last two games (especially after the disaster that was Knightf of Messiah IF) and I did genuinely enjoy it but 8,000 yen for full price, even 6k yen with the release discount? Absolutely not. This is fine as a 2,000~3,000 yen game, but a 6~8k game it certainly is not.
@Treyfee: You think this is overpriced? Then imagine PICOPICOSOFT's upcoming Cohabitation game being at 12,100 Yen. Based from what I'm seeing, it should be a 4-6k Yen game tops, dunno why the author is pushing it for 12k Yen... Desperation? It's a shame, I think it might otherwise be a good game if they were asking a third of that price.
As for this, I dunno. Certainly seems overpriced, but it has good reviews. I think all their stuff since Sistina have been meh, maybe this is a return to the quality of that game, at least. Might give it a buy now that I can see the CG's to get a good idea of the events.
@Zantos PicoPicoSoft games sell ridiculously well so I doubt "desperation" is part of it. Their last game made 2 million dollars on DLSite alone. If this is just one guy, dude is a millionaire even after DLSite takes their cut. Supply and demand would be a more likely cause. Anyways, for a circle that sells so well, they don't have a lot of games, which likely means they put a lot of work into each game. Their games are like 6 gigs, which is insane for these RPG-maker type games. Although it's probably BECAUSE their games sell so well that they don't feel the need to make so many in order to make money.
Anyways, their next game seems straight vanilla, which is not my taste so I'll past on that. Though wish-fulfillment games do extremely well so I can see why they're making one. It is quite a departure from the genre of game they usually make so I guess we'll see.
I'm actually playing the game right now and not writing this the same day the game dropped and the game is actually a pretty big step down from Knights of Messiah, mostly because the main characters have no personality and the sex is just random and barely has dialogue aside from moaning because of the first problem. Story sucks, you just climb the tower and barely anything is happening outside the blackmail (if you picked the NTR option) I still have to get Lucia so maybe I'll update my thoughts after finishing the game.
