Yes I know the game is more a vehicle for ♥♥♥♥ than an actual game, but even as far as ♥♥♥♥ games go, this was pretty lackluster. The game gets very repetitive with how it wants you to handle tasks since it pretty much always is just "Go here and talk to someone". You rarely do any detective work outside of maybe one of the final quests in the game where you have to figure out who the real person is between them and a lookalike. Even in the opening case, I was hoping I'd at least get to choose who the killer was, but no the game does that for you.

Then you have the side-story that involves fighting enemies and bosses in turn based RPG battles to free up the slums from a rival gang's rule. The combat is very simplistic and doesn't have much of anything in terms of variety. I didn't even finish that side-story (I got close, but gave up by the time it was doing 3v1 fights). You don't learn any skills from leveling up, but instead invest points you get from completing quests and using materials gathered from chests and defeated enemies to get stronger or gain new skills. Sounds fine, but you also have to dig all over town to find people to teach you these skills. I'll tell you right now, don't bother investing any skill points into the one that allows for an RNG chance to instantly take out an enemy from behind. Most of the enemy placements are done in a way to make sure you can't sneak up on them and the RNG rarely goes in your favor, so it's just a waste of points. As far as skills you can use in battle, all I found was the lady that teaches you how to cast healing spells that are worse than using a potion since potions heal a percentage amount whereas the spell heals a fixed number. There's also not much in terms of gear to make your stats go up. You can basically buy the best gear in the game very early on for pretty cheap and then the only use for money is buying potions.

The game isn't really all that fun to play as a game and honestly you can probably just find the ♥♥♥♥ images somewhere online. If you really want to play a turn based RPG with ♥♥♥♥ in it, Melty's Quest is still my favorite in that regard.
