This charming and horny VN is so good that, although I had originally pirated it, I went and actually purchased it. I'm looking forward heavily to the sequel as well!

TwistedScarlett is one of my favorite artists, and their art really shines here. There is SO much of it in this VN, which lasts well over 20 hours and has tons of secrets and scenes. The writing is actually really good, even going beyond "good for a porn game" into actually good territory. Each character has their own little story that plays out and ties into the larger narrative and there are hardly any typos. The characters are all lightly inspired by the My Little Pony ones, but they all have their own quirks and personalities to really differentiate them. Even the side characters are like this, of which there are quite a lot!

Now, for the reason why this is only a 9/10. The audio pretty much just amounts to a bunch of schlicking sounds and I wish there were a few more things like moans in there. There is no gameplay whatsoever other than clicking through scenes, whereas in many other similar VNs I have seen something even like light combat systems. That is kind of nice if you're looking for something to just sit back and enjoy but I do wish there would have been a little bit more of a game-y aspect. There is also a lack of motion in scenes, with the vast majority of them just being one still image. Even then, the images are always serene so it's not too bad of a downside.

If you like erotic VNs like this, even if you don't particularly like these anthro ponies, I would highly recommend it. Sex is the core foundation to it, of course, but I was routinely engrossed in the stories of each of these characters and some even made me tear up a little. It was a great experience!

As for who the best girl is.... that's extremely hard to say. My gut feeling wants to go with Moxie, but Butters, Honeycrisp, Blossom, and Melody are all pretty high up there as well.
