Player Comments of Hard to Love:

Why I like this game: girls look beautiful and jealousy. Several characters are jealous when the character is seen perving on or attracted to other girls. which is quite rare IMO. Also girls are proactive and the sister and mother already are into you which is also kinda rare. Game is mostly linear with you making choices as reactions to things and gaining affection points or corruption points.

The game has a "police/crime" plot, but at this point it is hard to say what is its function in the story. As it is kind of backstory or side story at this moment.The more interesting part of the story is how the MC integrates back into his family. Lots of juicy drama and sexual tensions.Writing is really good. I love the characters and how complex many of them are. Maybe some of them are little crazy, but i think it just makes better drama. And i find myself caring a lot more about these broken people, than some generic girlfriend or perfect loving mother that most games have. Some characters are just perfectly charismatic for AVN game that does wanna create drama between characters. MC could be more neutral, as there is a wide range of options in conversations and some options feel like going against his "good boy" character.Visually game is great. I love how older mother is not just curvy middle aged woman, but really an older woman. So much great details and sexy women with lots of variety. Not 100% sure about the "feels like some images are enchanted with AI" art style.In no point does the MC take a control in sexual situations, he just lets the women lead like a good boy. Only downside in sex scenes is how the MC is trying to fight the desire to take these women like a man.

Much improved after the rework i remember playing this game a while back and just being confused by the story, it always had great rendors but now those great renders tie into a decent storyline that i could folow and be interested in, its definitely still a bit rough around the edges and doesnt have quite enough content to satisfy yet, but i can see the potential in this one now, as of 0.26 id give it a 4/5 but it deserves a 5/5 for its potential.
