Broke Girl

The game's alright. I'd give it a 6/10.
Pretty basic sim. The art's quite nice.
A few things note:
- Improper English grammar is abundant, but never horribly broken.
- There's little to no voice acting. Audio as a whole, you get music, some odd sound effects, and moans.
- No quit button? I just closed the window to quit. Don't know if there's actually something built into the game or not.
- Can only advance using left click or ctrl?
- No log functionality for dialogue
- Weird design decisions for menu layouts (some icons look like buttons)

If you're here for the art and the scenes, you'll probably be happy with this.
If you're looking for interesting gameplay, you should probably look somewhere else.

It is a puzzle solving game at best with a management UI.

The time line window given by the game give none management variability to player's experience.

In order to not trigger bad end every time, the player HAS to play in a one directional way.

Stats doesn't even matter and money has to come from donors.

At this point, why not make a visual novel with linear development instead really? Those UI are just there to show and have no interaction at all.

What a let down.

Disclaimer: I am reviewing this the way I would a typical game. I'm not rating it as fap material since sexy is incredibly subjective.

I got this game because of the mixture of gameplay and story intrigued me. Yes, I'm being serious. Yes, I understand that buying an H-game for the story and gameplay is incredibly silly, but I saw some reviews that made me think I would be buying something like Princess Maker, but with a more mature story line and worse possible endings. Over all I am moderately disappointed, but that's on me more than the game. I fell for someone else's hype and didn't take less glowing reviews as seriously as I should.

So far I've unlocked four endings, out of what I believe to be six. The game is less of a proper management simulator and more like a puzzle, as another reviewer mentioned. It's actually fairly difficult to get the bad end unless you make a real effort. I've played through about eight times now playing around with what is and isn't unlockable via various methods and I genuinely had to sabotage myself to lose. One thing that I dislike is that you appear to be locked into a specific ending based on the first choice you make, assuming you don't woo one of the two male love interests, regardless of whether or not you make all the money you need to.

The actual gameplay is mostly clicking choices and reading, as is to be expected of management sims. The X in the top-right corner during the working animations does nothing, but aside from that the UI is exactly what it puts itself forward as. It's easy to navigate, and there isn't much to it. It could be a little more aesthetically pleasing, but it does what it's meant to and I'd hardly rate it poorly on aesthetics. I liked how some choices, like having sex with a certain character, seem to be locked behind how many times you've had sex total. It helps get across the type of play through you're having. That said, there weren't nearly enough of these for my liking.

There are a total of six outfits. The dress in the opening, naked, a basic OL uniform, a bunny suit, sexy lingerie, and a fancy gown. Do not make the mistake I did and forget to buy each outfit before going to the jobs that require them, starting with the lingerie, or you may lose an entire month of work. I think there should be a way to buy the lingerie and gown in the 'You need this clothing item to work here' dialogue like there is during the live-streaming event.

The art is pretty good. I think some of the penises look incredibly strange, but I'm not sure if that's the actuality or if that's just the sort of opinion you get when most of your interactions with penises are in print format. The majority of the CGs are nicely rendered, and do a good job of making the main character look cute. I got every scene except one, and I'd say the quality is fairly consistent. I did notice how a lot of the character portraits look like they're from entirely different games though. It seems like there are at least three very different styles at play, not including Feena's character sprite.

The story was also alright. I had expected a little more from the endings, maybe CGs for each of them with a little more dialogue. The endings feel incredibly abrupt in many cases. That said, the endings I've seen aren't badly written, and while the translation is not stellar, it gets across the point of each ending.

One thing that isn't in the tags is how there is a scene that pulls the classic "Oh damn it's a pair of black men and their uniquely gifted black cocks" thing. I say this not as a selling point or a breaking point, just so that someone reading this review isn't taken off guard. It happens during the porn star route.

The music is fine. It did get a little weird how the eerie song played during most if not all sexual encounters in the game, even those that didn't seem like a breaking of innocence. The squelching sound effect used in every sex scene is awful and props to anyone able to keep a boner when it plays.

I think at its heart, what this game needs most is for everything to be expanded a little. The various stats you have should affect your outcomes a little more. Your people-pleasing skills could affect how many tips you get from other jobs. While your fame could unlock some options in your retail and housing jobs. More possible scenes in general would be a welcome addition, even if they don't come with any sex. A variety of options that you need to play in different ways to get would encourage replayability. As I've not found two of the endings yet I can't comment on the variability of the endings, but I am always a fan of more possible endings so that would not be bothersome.

If you're here for a darker version of Princess Maker then you should look elsewhere. If you're here for a game with well-drawn art and a decent variety of sex scenes you'll probably be pleased.

Great game! It's very short though

I'd rate this 3/5. It has a generic "girl in debt" hentai story but has a great route to follow. And I certainly feel my domination trying to ruin Feena in the process.
However, there are two points that I'd want to certainly address:
1. There's no "butterfly effect". I want a more developed character where her lines/reactions affect as she goes on. For example, I was able to broke into the porn industry route, but then when a man asked her for favours in the massage parlor, she hesitated about a "showing herself to a stranger". That porn industry route should have an effect on Feena, and you know, makes the massaging scenes more intimate rather than generic hentai reluctancy.

2. The chibi parts while doing the job must go away. Provide a delectable drawing/art of Feena on those instead.

Other than that, this game is is worth your $10.
