Something To Do With Love Reviews

The game is not ready for release yet. High price per beta. It is not clear where to go, what to do. If the game has a timer for actions, and then the content ends, this is a problem. For the same price you can buy Being A DIK...

Sooo after a few hours of playing this game....I got nowhere. I trialed and errored the hell out of this game and got nowhere. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but who knows. I dated Arlene the first go around and well...that went nowhere. Everyday after that I couldn't even talk to her and when I did, It was sometimes repeated dialogue. Anyway...here's what I've gotten so far and why i can't recommend this game. The Good - 1.) Let's start with the world. It's pretty cool. It's actually pretty big. There's characters all over the place which makes it feel very lively. 2.) The music is actually pretty good, I love the tracks. Obviously that's just my opinion but still, some good songs. 3.) Voice acting or...lack there of, is pretty good. I've heard some really bad visual novel/dating sim voice acting and this one can hold it's own in some areas. 4.) Art style. I like the art style. it doesn't look like it's trying to be overly Artsy but rather it looks like it's a world you would like to live in. or...something. 5.) The characters. Albeit pretty generic, they do seem like real characters. their dialogue makes them seem like actual people. You can easily tell one character apart from another just by how they act and what they say. 6.) I do like the fact that you can also walk with them pretty much anywhere until you eventually come to a stop at the place you were originally going. The bad - 1.) There are a lot of crashes...Although I didn't run into to many crashes myself, there was one time when I went to the bathroom and came back and it crashed on it's own. 2.) Those bugs...I went home with Lucia and when they sat down and ate, Lucia was completely invisible. When I eventually found the prompt to talk to her by the food on the table, I clicked it and it just went to a black screen...that's it. I just closed the game. 3.) The whole day to day thing was interesting but after like 5 straight days of literally nothing, I got really bored really quickly. 4.) The whole panning screen is pretty cool but just slows down everything. I found myself getting bored just trying to move from one place to another. Each day I tried to check every place to see if there was an event happening but...I stopped that immediately, It was very tedious. 5.) The voice acting feels like it was a last minute thing. Not many characters have voices and the ones that do...don't have many voiced lines. 6.) I've followed this game since the first (I think) demo back when it was just Wilson and May in her home, and the only thing that's changed....is the fact that there's freeroam. This seems like an extended Demo. 7.) Why is there freeroam and nothing to do? You can talk to roaming characters and don't get me wrong, that is pretty cool but they just repeat the same dialogue about "A big company buying a mall" or the occasional different dialogue. But other than that, there's nothing else to do. This game for damn sure isn't worth 20 bucks. When it released with it's priced slashed to 17.99, i grew suspicious but after the playing the free roam demo, I had high hopes. cut that down to like 10 bucks, if that. Unless there's a MASSIVE update that'll fix the game, add a bunch of voices and make the game not feel empty, don't buy it yet. Or just play the Demo, it's literally the same thing. I'm going to keep up with this game though because I hope these issues get resolved and more gets added on into the game. This game got potential and I really hope this isn't' all this game has to offer. Buy this game after a few substantial updates. weeks or even months down the line.

The bugs in this game are horrendous. You'll be having conversations with invisible people in this game. I want a refund.

This game can be fun on the first few runs, but i don't think it is close to be finished and be a full game. I agree with most here that the content is pretty much 3 days for each character. And there are lots of glitches around the game. Which is a pretty big down. Hopefully they could update it soon enough and i will come back again, cause i love the whole premise and i wanna finish the date with Autumn, which saddly i couldn't cause there was the same error over and over again. This game is more of a alpha than a beta on my opinion. I love it, but needs fixes. More content as well, then you will have something decent and very very worthwhile.

Unfinished game. No map or any way of knowing where to go or what to do next. I like the vhs video look and feel to the game quite a bit. Hoping the Developer decides to finish the game in the future.

1 out of 5 stars Pros - Slice of life anthropomorphic game - Artwork, animation and voice acting above average - Inter-character relationships appear more than one dimensional Cons - Seems around only 20% completed - Numerous bugs - Creator seems to have given up on it TL:DR - Not worth the money. If you have a furry kink, the money is better spent on the creator's soft porn video of the characters. Details The game had potential. Originally, the creator made an animated soft porn video of the main characters and decided to try and create an immersive game based upon them. Playing as one of those characters in a furry world who has a mundane job who you lead through his exploration into various relationships within the game. The various characters that you can interact with seem to have non-shallow connections to one another that are discussed/built upon during the game. The artwork and animation isn't bad but a lot of it was either rendered poorly or was intentionally designed to be dark and/or fuzzy. I enjoyed the voice acting as it was better than most single creator style works I have seen in games. That's all the praise I can give it though. This thing is a work under construction and it seems the creator has stopped working on it. I haven't bothered to list anything on the boards or research much but from the lack of any progress in the last four years, I believe it has been abandoned. To start with, there's no way to skip past the slightly long opening and requires sitting through a lot of story to being the game of really choosing the path for the character. The game shows four save slots but only one works. After day three or so of the game (which comes quickly after the first day and a half is over), there is no further progression. If you choose the right relationship, you can, when the game decides it, repeat one of two sex scenes over and over again. The other three characters have two or less cut scenes. The plethora of other characters in the game I'm assuming were monetary contributors that got their avatars in the game but they just repeat a handful of two line nonsense exchanges. I'm a little disappointed that he gave up on it. It could have been a fun game but I suppose there wasn't enough financial backing for it and the labor of love probably just turned into labor. Don't buy this game. If you're looking for some animated furry erotica of the same art style, do a little searching to find a place to purchase the original video he made. It has a bit of a cheesy 80's porno style but it will be a whole lot less frustrating than this game plus you can fast forward to the bits you want to.

I like this game its in an early stage but so far the developer have done a great job whith it so far.ofc there are some bugs in the game but dont all new games have them? im really excited to see where the developer want to take this game if he is going to add more girls you can date and more options like gifts you can buy for girls?but anyway so far i like the game but i hope it gets even better in the future.

I genuinely like this game, even if it has many bugs I believe this is all part of the start in making a game for the developer. Every first game has it's flaws but sooner or later they'll get fixed. But as it is right now it does have its problems. I direct messaged the developer in hopes he knows some of the issues in-game and I recommend you do the same. No hating tho. Just useful info. I rate this game a 7/10 for now.

For the TLDR; All-in-all I think the game shows promise but I cannot recommend it in it's current build. It's buggy and the initial demo was more engaging and more fun as the cut scenes were more interesting and there more dialog options for the same sections of the demo than in the final release. For the nitty gritty: The game is a bit buggy, with an error message even popping up when you click on the "Options" GUI button. There were a couple glitches exiting cut scenes where the interactions didn't line up with the appropriate objects. The game also seems to be poorly optimized as the frame rate is very poor and nearly unplayable with either Motion Blur or Bloom, on but much more acceptable with both off. The graphical presentation and image quality is the same as found in the demo, but the final release lacks the same level of polish. Interestingly there are fewer dialog options during the same scenes found in both the demo and the final release. The random NPCs that you can interact with have what appears to be a minimal dialog pool to pull from that often repeats, so you can talk to one person, move to another area and talk to another person and have the exact same conversation. You'll even sometimes see the same person you just talked to in the new area but they'll have a different, non-contextual dialog. The story thus far isn't really engaging, and I found myself bored after about 2.5 hours of playing and while I romanced Lucia, since she's a new option from the demo, the scenes aren't as good as with Arlene from the demo. Bottom line, is that it's a solid first effort and is definitely playable once you turn the extra graphical options off and with more polishing and refinement it can really be something that people enjoy playing.

I would give it a solid 6/10 so far. the reason I give it that is because it has a few bugs and errors in it, but the creator is working on them and listening and getting involved in the community, so I give it hope on that. The game also is kind of difficult to follow. Half the time I don’t know what to do. there is no real clear path or even paths. I don’t like games that hold your hand but this needs some direction in it. Not sure if it is because of the bugs and lags of it that cause this problem, but it needs to be fixed. Next the voice acting. it does have voice acting from time to time in the cut scenes and other times it’s just reading. The voice acting, I give a 6/10 also. some of the voices are good but the quality of the recording sounds a little off, and they don’t have enough emotion in their voices such as a game like hunipop had. also, your character Wilson has probably one of the most generic voices I have ever heard with not much emotion behind his voice, I am not sure if the creator wanted the main character to act that way, but it does kill the mood for me. I personally think that the best way to make a protagonist in a game like this is to keep them voiceless, so you can imagine what they sound like when you make your choices in the conversations. The dialog is not very good, and it needs to be tweaked, half the time they seem to go off topic and into a random direction. In the game you have a phone but as far as I know there is no way to use it which is a shame because I would like to use it to get in contact with the girls, so you can hang out with them on dates instead of just wondering around town unsure what to do. I don’t know if it is an option because the game offers no control settings or a list of controls. Again, something they need to give is to make a guide to show us a path and let us make it. there is nothing wrong with showing us a path and letting us decide where it goes but no path just throwing you out with nothing not even a help guide is sort of dumb. You also have interactions with the NPCs around town but it’s the same dialog every time. I can’t tell you how many people told me the mall had new owners. Also, the girls you can date also walk around and you can talk to them, but it goes like this. Hey. Hi. What’s up? We are at the cafe. then it ends, and they walk off. Wtf? The game has a lot of positional don’t get me wrong and it’s a cool art style he is using through it needs to be tweaked to work properly and not crash and lag. Also, the point and click needs to be fixed because half the time I click on the wrong thing. For save files the game offers you four save files when you hit new game like a telltale game, but each file only has One save file meaning you have to dragon's dogma it the whole time and if you save in a bad spot well. you done fucked it up. I am not saying the game is bad, but it needs to be fixed before I can really recommend it at its price, even with the small discount. It’s the first day it came out, so I expect problems and bugs. But with it being delayed weeks to have fixes well... it’s hard to defend it. I am not sure how much the game has to offer yet with how often I am lost and unsure what to do. I will give it this through, the game does offer choices and its in a rare style we do not see very often, and the creator of the game seems to have a passion for it and I do believe that with our feedback he can make the game a real Gem. For now, if you are unsure weather to get this game or not, I would hold off until the bugs are fixed before getting it, hopefully it won’t be a long way off. As much as I don't want to give it a thumbs down, in its current state as of now I cant recommend it. When the game is patched and I am sure it will be, I will change my score if the problems are resolved.
