Reviews:

From a writing perspective a kinetic style game certainly makes the coding easier, and allows you to tell EXACTLY the story that you want.I'm just not sure about the "will he or won't he" tease in the above synopsis. In the event that he won't you wouldn't need more than one girl in the game. That there are four going on seven indicates that he absolutely will.

Just finished chapter 1, I quite like it so far. The art is really good, even if AI created.And the voice acting is a huge plus. I usually turn voices off completely, but Alice's voice (and moans) are great. Yeah, Alice's... Whatever the hell chapter 1 ended off on is not NEARLY as nice xD (So yeah, this is immediately fixed in chapter 2) Also huge fan of many different kinds of NTR. So I am looking forward to more content.Edit: Okay so, during the sex scene in chapter 2, I unfortunately preferred Alice's voice "lines" during chapter 1

Final Thoughts:

Shadows of Ambition is attractive graphics and animation scenes visual novel for adult audience of players. Unfortunately, the project is completely linear. So gamers will be able to get only the role of a spectator of the events developing in the life of the main character. He and his girlfriend recently moved to a new place. The big city hides huge opportunities for young people. And also a bunch of temptations for both. What will come of this and players will have to find out as they move along the prepared scenario. Well, a lot of explicit content will not let fans of this kind of works get bored.
