The Forest of Love - Carrot and Vixel

 

Review for Act2Official.220927.r4 

I found the game to be a great tease, I often expected something to happen and instead I got something different. This game however is very wholesome and positive, it's filled with positivity, every character and everything in the game is positive. It almost makes me wish a new character was implemented that went against the norm (but was still likable and got along with everyone, as to not ruin the game for what it is). I believe the game puts more priority on the characters over the story, just because there's a ton of writing on the characters and their backgrounds, it makes me think that the story only develops with the characters. The characters direct the story.
The Dustin minigame was very fun, it really shows how Undertale is truly Among Us in the Sans Universe of furry porn games. Dustin is a representation of god just like Sans.

I really like how high quality this game is. The art, writing, direction, sound, ui, quests, and everything is high quality, it feels like it aims to be no less than that and the devs outline what bugs the game currently has on the game page.

The only thing I didn't like is that rascal only has one expression for the dialogues. How unexpressive he is and how it's that pose instead of something more neutral makes him less likable to be honest. I guess I also prefer other kinks which the game only teases me on or just doesn't deliver.

Rating 4/5

~~~ Full thoughts ~~~

This game is such a great tease but I greatly enjoyed it, and I appreciate the dedication that's being put into the writing and the characters. I feel like a main focus with this game is developing characters with a lot of care and dedication, each character's personality stands out from one another and every character in this game is very likable and wholesome. There's a lot to the story of each. I feel like this whole game is represented and guided by the characters instead of the sex, narrative, or the plot, which is kind of unique to me. I can't think of another game where most of the dedication was put into the characters.
However, I also have to say. Game is top quality with 0 bugs or scuffness. Everything in this game is high quality. I think quality and keeping a low tolerance on having flaws was also a big thing on this game. I couldn't find any personally. It did get slow at the end of chapter 2 I guess (on a decent Windows PC, downloaded) but that's it.

I call this game a tease because there are a ton of moments where I expected the game to do something, but it didn't deliver it, which is probably okay. This may be because I am more biased toward other kinks. The game has been teasing me a lot with messing with Mabel, just so that it never happens in the end because the game's still in development and she's shy (I doubt she's busy, I think she's making excuses). With Scarlett I felt teased until the scene finally happened but she was just rubbing it, it's very sexy the way she does it but I had something else in mind. The foxes? I was hoping for a blow but I got a licking scene, which again I like but it's not what I expected. The foxes again where I expected an orgy like in their flashback but it didn't happen. The submissive plant? Tried, and later through comments I found out it's not implemented. Finding something at the top of the mountain? I was hoping there would be something, at least a taste for the next update but there was nothing, which is fair but still a bummer. It's unusual to finish a quest just to have no reward at the end, but the journey in this game is very rewarding regardless. A lot of things in the game were a tease, but I can't point to anything the game exactly did to give the wrong idea besides anything that's unfinished. I still wonder if I am the only one who felt that way. I felt like I was being edged into oblivion.

The only thing I didn't like about the game is that Rascal only has one expression for every dialogue, and it's also an expression I am not fond off. It makes him less likable to me if that's his expression the whole time. I also don't like that the game tells you that you can do things that haven't been implemented yet (submissive plant). I also didn't like the Haikus getting sexual... it was nice to have a break from all the lewd in the middle of the game, it's refreshing even if I don't like haikus or poems in the first place. I still like reading this sort of thing that you see in the explanation. I think I would had been fine if they got sexual, it was expected, but those sexual Haikus were very lazy and lame, I don't like it even if it's on character. The Dustin minigame was very fun though, it really shows how Undertale is truly Among Us in the Sans Universe of furry porn games. Dustin is a representation of god just like Sans.

This game gives me strong isekai vibes, since everyone's so happy and everything's extremely positive which is nice. I think I would really like a character that goes against the norm in this universe, but still doesn't ruin the positive vibes everyone brings and can still be friends with everyone. I think that character would be my favorite. (edit: By going against the norm I mean, don't be so positive. Not sad or miserable either)
