本作是一个公寓管理主题的SLG拔作，由Momentum发布，该公司此前发布过二次元画风的三消黄油Wish，在和Kidmo合作后，就一转姿态，推出了韩国画风的Wish Haven High等作品，这种到高光的皮肤光感和美型化的类真人比例五官非常有辨识度。而本次更是更为深度的合作，将游戏改为了对话驱动的SLG+AVG，并在其中穿插性爱HCG的形式，更加深化了人物的塑造，让性爱场面更具场景感和剧情连贯性。

剧情方面，男主名为李安，前尼特家里蹲，因为父亲不满其啃老习气，而送了他一栋公寓楼要求其管理（什么绝世好爹，这种家境当啥尼特啊，顶级现充好吗），在成为公寓管理员的过程中，他也会遇到公寓内这些形形色色（主要是色色）的租客小姐姐和大姐姐。而且作为拔作，本作中不需要你阅读几千行文本，精心经营恋爱关系，那些女租客会直接想方设法地投怀送抱，包括三星的高管，2000万粉的大主播，甚至还有穿越时空而来，需要精液来补魔的大魔导师（DLC剧情）。至于剧情铺垫？不需要的，我来就不是为了图剧情；不过即使以拔作的评判标准，本作中的剧情还是有点太水了，导致Sex scene的插入多少有点生硬，前一秒给你泡茶，后一秒脸就搭在牛子上了。

本作最大的核心卖点自然是韩国画师Kidmo带来的精美插画，（顺便缅怀一下，这部正是Kidmo把自己送进监狱的最后波纹）游戏中将所有的HCG都制为了动态，且没有常规插画转动态的生硬蒙皮变形，看得出是Kidmo实际重绘了不少图层的结果，对于一个这个售价体量的游戏而言堪称豪华。游戏的人设选用大多为主流审美下的普遍偏好，譬如OL，学生，运动装，水手服。换言之，确实好看，但是独特性不足，虽然装扮上区别了不少，但是韩国画师手下的女性多少有点韩国业界审美的通病，不够“多元化”（褒义），几乎所有女性角色都只能通过发型和着装区分，以至于我一直以为DLC1和DLC2都是本体三个人物的换装版本。CG量大管饱，包括DLC在内每章三个人物，共计12个，每个人物平均有5段HCG（DLCs约三段），游戏中的每个成就基本都能对应一段HCG，总数接近100。再加上Kidmo的顶级画风加持，即使是不长的流程也足够让人缴械多次了。

Just when I thought Sakura Magical Girls was bad, in comes... whatever this is.

Secret Pie is a visual novel developed by Momentum Games, and is the single worst visual novel I've ever laid eyes upon, and the reviews don't really reflect how bad this is. If you don't understand how much of a monumental failure this is, I'll explain why.

The only positives this game has is the potental for screenshots in lewd scenes, the voice acting and the animated, uncensored H scenes. Nothing more. The art direction is average in event CGs, and mediocre at best in background CGs. Character design is so uninspired that all characters look similar. I could only tell them apart by their clothes and hairstyle. UI is unpolished, there is no skip function (and trust me, it's sorely needed for the cringe-inducing dialogue), which is a basic function of any visual novel, and there is no textbox, which can be a problem when the text and the background are of the same color. There are visible programming errors, like bugs in transitions from static images to animated H scenes and viceversa, and this is especially egregious in the DLCs. Oh, and speaking of DLCs, the only way you can unlock all achievements in this game is by having all the paid DLCs. Yes, you heard that right. This game pulled a Tales of Arise, and locked achievements behind a paywall.

However, all those issues pale in comparison with the biggest problem this game has, and it's something I've being critical of in many visual novels I've reviewed in the almost 4 years I've been here, and it's the writing. The writing in this game is an Eldritch-horror creature the likes I've never seen. This, without hyperbole, makes Dragon Age: The Veilguard look like a masterpiece. This seems written by writers who were constantly checked their phones while writing, because at one time, the setting is a tenant building, and in the DLCs is suddenly a mansion. There is contradictive character choices, failed attempts at character arcs, because they jump all over the place without a coherent throughline, the choices I made lead nowhere, the characters have all the depth of a puddle during a light rain, and there are A LOT of situations that don't make sense at all. And it gets worse in the DLCs, where the dialogue becomes completely incoherent and inconsistent, the narration jumps from first person to third person for no reason whatsoever and the characters introduced in the earlier story are completely ditched in favor of the new characters.

Ultimately, this game is just a screenshot simulator, without any depth, nuance or subtlety. A kink highlight reel with no cohesive story or good characters at all. You'd only wasting your money if you buy this. The only way this game can be enjoyed, is by the same way most modern movies are enjoyed: turning your brain off, assuming you're willing to buy this game, that is.
