RPGM - Completed - A New Girl in Nouridge City [v1.01] [Imisx]

I play for a little more than one hour... and i got annoyed..
pretty much the game hope you go to A point to B point... without any reason or reward for exploration.. which.. removes the entire point of being a RPGM game (should be just a Renpy and spare my time), the game emphasis about choice but i literally had no choice at all until the point where i played. Even the truth or dare which should be a good point to some or any choice had none. I still play for some more time... but for now i can only give a poor rate.

This game is moronic due to the bad choices you are forced to make. So not to spoil anything, your character gets put into a horrible situation after horrible situation. Then when she is very very broke. She decides to do something illegal to buy a dress to go hangout. What the heck that is so dumb. Yet again in a game in this genre not a single person acts normal. The art is okay, but the "Animation" is awful, long, and unskippable. I didn't even get far and had been blackmailed by two different people and assaulted by the characters father. Figured if you read this far a little spoiler doesn't matter.

Very little game here. It would have been better as a RenPy. There's far too much running around bizarrely large maps from point A to point B with nothing interesting. There's hardly ever any choice or interaction with anything other than make character move to interaction point - which you sometimes have to guess where to go on the stupidly oversized and obstacle-filled map.

Story is mediocre.
Writing/dialogue is bad.
"Gameplay" is everything to hate about lazy RPGM except pointless combat. You wish you could skip it all, but there's also no skip.
The scenes are sub-par.

I give it 1.3 stars, but that rounds to a 1.

The plot is fun to read, it should get VN tag, but at least it's not as boring as other VNs. But it's mostly about the story, be ready for that.

Main downside is it's using RPGM unnecesarly, adds time by making you look for places, altho I don't really mind, it has well made maps, not unnecesarly big, mostly just important places you visit.

Considering RPGM assests, it's using pretty common ones, 3D graphics for scenes, some even with animation.

Corruption is pretty strange but makes somewhat sense, at least the path I choose to go, maybe it differs with different choices...

I really liked the game , played through it a few months ago , and again recently . I have to say mostly good things but there are also some annoying ones .
Firstly the good . It has a nice story (unfortunatelly short - 1 hr gameplay) , with good guidance (never stuck and if i forget something there is always the fortune teller) , and decent corruption either volunterily or not but again short. I like the dialogue and the MC narration and her design. Also the blackmail part is mostly avoidable but depends on someones preferences. Someone said that the deflowering of the MC is scripted although in 3 passes i got 3 different first times (the owner of the bar , her schoolmate , one of the gang members) so its always a choice and there are many.
The bad . Most of the choices really dont matter on progressing the story. Mostly is if you want the blackmail or not which doesnt bother me but some people might do , the main ones that do is either the drug addiction or the choice on one of the bad endings at the end. Also there are a few renders and scenes in the game and you can really see the potential in story building and moving more with excisting characters or getting more either when you are selling on clients or the bar. Also 2 out of 3 jobs are just the same and repeatable except the delivery one and you cannot skip it. Mostly is going from one place to another.
I really liked this one and some of the few that i keep that i may replay , with the developer remakes it like he does right now with Aetheria Chronicles and expands it to a full blown game which keeps the same story and expands it and i think would make at least a 8-10 hr gameplay with at least triple the scenes.

A really nice game and a concept, ruined by constant interaction with the RPGM gameplay.

To be clear, I love RPGM games over Ren'Py. They offer a blend of sandbox, choices, and narrative by game design with a touch of semi-open world map plan that allows the players to explore the surroundings and hopefully discover and interact with something new. I'd pick it over any other engine, but sadly the focus was too much on the RPGM aspect and the dialogue but not the actual renders.

A good narrative is always "show, don't tell", however with this game, a lot of the plot is mere dialogue with a few renders sprinkled within... however, the opposite could've made this game a hundred times better.

For example, the introduction during the prologue makes it clear that Park is a no-go zone during the night... but guess what? nothing happens. There are no shady people at all to harass the MC. There is a police officer at the Coastal region who warns about roaming at night could be dangerous... again, nothing happens, and there is no one on the street so it makes no difference.

This game clearly has a lot of potential that is sadly ruined by the linear plot, and it is as if the game only wants you to play a certain way. Another example is becoming homeless. I thought if I could stay with Barry in his apartment, I thought maybe I was being smart, but all I got was "Not now" and there is no choice here except sleeping at the factory which I spent 20 minutes behind looking for all places for different outcomes.

Overall, the game could've been a VN than an RPGM because you are staring at the RPGmaker game and walking around like 99% of the time which gets boring and it takes a few in-game days for things to ramp up, so there are long periods with very little sexual gratification and no renders to back it up.

Some Pros and Cons:
+Nice renders, good use of Honey Select 2
+High quality camerawork
+MC's design is very hot. Huge bonus for having small/medium sized tits.
+The story and narrative are intriguing.

-Needed a large number of renders, the game is mostly controlling the RPGM character.
-No blood while Chelsea loses her virginity.
-No choice who gets to deflower Chelsea, it is a scripted event.
-No rapists, molesters, dangerous people unlike it advertises in the prologue. There are no truly non-con encounters.
-No breast play, little to no groping, fondling or anything to do with MC's tits.

PROS:
*The story is pretty good.
*The girls are sexy.

CONS:
*Too much walking and no option to skip some repetitive scenes (like working).
*Relatively few sex scenes compared to the length of the game. Even fewer if you're not into lesbian content.
*The sex scenes are pretty short and the animations are very basic.

Quite good game: normally I search some sandBox elements in these type of FeMC corruption RPGs, but this time I actually liked to follow the story since choices actually matter and writing is not too verbose. 4 stars because, altrough MC is cute, the renders are quite outdated.

Finished after playing around 4-5 hours. It was a pretty good one to be honest. I really like the fact that the MC does not have big/huge breasts which is another plus.
I think the potential of the game was way more than how it ended to be honest. I understand that the DEV wanted to keep it rather short but as I said, there could have been more scenes with different outcomes.
As a negative comment, I can say that the game is missing a "quests" interface. In the games like these, sometimes you can get lost or not know what to do. So, for the future, please include a quests tab so that players can check where to go/what to do instead of walking around random, trying to find the correct place or person to interact.
The size of the map was quite good- not too big or not too small. I dont want to repeat myself but damn, I really needed more on the story and more scenes . I felt like the main action and story has just started when the game ended.

All things considered, as a person who has been following almost all the RPGM games, I would give 7 out of 10 for the game.
Good luck on your next game(s) and I will be looking forward to them!

Thank you!

I like the MC look a lot, probably that is the reason why I played the game in the first place. She looks cute and has the right proportions.

The story is also good. I read it, which I rarely do. Nothing extraordinary, but done well and I can believe it, that is a great achievement for a porn game. Corruption feels natural.

The bad thing about it, is that it feels like it's been cut and there should have been more. Some character plot lines have not been fully developed and finished suddenly.

The other problem is in gameplay - this is a walking simulator. And while in other games you walk to explore the world and find new events, there you just walk. There are no events outside the main storyline, non-story characters are not particularly interesting to talk with, and you can not make story choices by coming to the right place. Walking just basically wastes your time, there is no purpose for that mechanic to be here, just remove it and teleport me where I need to be instead, or make a visual novel, please

yet another VN disguised as an actual game. there is no reason for this to be on RPGM. Aside from a few branching choices the "game" is completely linear. as a VN its not that bad with a decent pace of corruption (for the path i picked anyway, not sure about the F/F one). if this was made in Renpy itd be a 3/5

Disclaimer - i lost interest because it's a classic case that should have been in Renpy instead of RPGM. Story wasn't engaging enough for me to hunt for locations without clear game guide, so maybe this rating will change once map walkthrough provided.

So why 3 stars? Renders and animations are janky for 2024, and the story is quite typical. Corruption element just feels slower thanks to aforementioned time wasting on go fetch tasks. Playable I'm sure, but not a classic.

For what the game is, it's really great! The corruption felt more believable than a lot of games I've played and it didn't really feel too fast. Really pretty FMC design and unusually for eroge in general has a more modest chest size.

Pretty healthy mix of lesbian and straight content.
Genre featured is primarily harassment/corruption. The game is overall somewhat linear, but with a few different endings.
