About Hard To Love

Near-death experience usually forces many people to reminisce about their past, bright and happy memories. So does MC, reliving his most brilliant memory – his first love. And with old wounds still open and new yet to heal, Main Character is forced to go back to his parental house and his old dysfunctional family. Being stuck there, fighting demons of past and present, he wonders about love. Why did the girl he loved abandon him and their love child? Has she ever loved him? Is she alive and still remembers him? Should he move on and try to establish something new with someone else? Maybe with a woman he always looked up to? Or with his partners or friends? Someone else entirely? Or should he focus the rest of his life on raising his daughter right? Follow the MC on his paths of uncovering truths and fixing mistakes as he tries to sort out his love life and protect his daughter in Hard to Love.​

    Amazing renders, can only imagine how much better the full rip would look instead of the smaller compressed 700MB game file.
    Gorgeous women, with great backgrounds and detail.

    Not much of a story yet, with MC (a cop) moving back home & all family obsessed with him. First parts are extremely slow! Setting up relationship with his GF a long time ago, who is out of the picture in the present. Not many choices to make at all, Very linear story. Hardly any sex or teasing scenes so far (V0.05). Hopefully it will get to a better percentage in the next updates. Now its style over substance but it is great to look at it, even its just a V/N and not really a game. Like Midnight Paradise with no options lol.
