RPGM - Abandoned - A Silent Statue [v0.9] [Taboossy]

I think this is a really good game for what it is. It took me about an hour to finish and I'm sure i missed one thing but overall it left me feeling pretty good.

Visuals are amazing. From the sprites to the animations it's all well done. And the shots are really nice. Especially the outro.

Story is pretty short as I said and I would love to see more of this but I really don't think that's possible. It's just one of those things where you wish it could go on and on but ultimately it just can't. But Taboossy has a sense of humor and story telling that is unique and interesting.

Someone said the high rated reviews are for the memes and poking fun at amputation fetish. And honestly I don't get that from this. Yeah they're statues with no legs, arms or heads but given the context it makes sense.

Came in thinking "woahoo qwirky weird monster-girl game i bet its going to be super weird" but i came out a changed man. A good premise, an insanely good sprite-work and a wholesome ending, what more could you want?!


the one star missing is for some missing QoLs like intro skipping, not that much replay value, and no gallery/scene replays


if the devs actually read this: the overworld sprite animations is insanely good, i definetly understand why you omit any skip options(using no-skip plugins) so people actually read the story, but repeat playthroughs are kind of a slog to go through

I wish this game on steam, this interesting concept make me thing " why don't this exist on first time place" don't tell me about what you kinky every statues on mythologic Greek is already exist, the problem people who make this is something out concept but is brilliant to chose this and became interesting concept art. wish some other make this concept to inspire this from fan.

"O' statues of the world! Hear ye! Hear ye! From now on forth, I shall search for thee, locate thee and penetrate thee ... with you consenting, of course."

TLDR:
I'm leaving this review because the dev held me at gunpoint.
But even if they didn't, I'd leave one. Because you should play this.
A short and sweet experience that shows how much success can be achieved by defying the tired-ass formula.
Also, the fap-o-meters are maxed out with this one ... according to eyewitness testimonies.


A tiny bit more context:
Usually I ramble on in this segment of my reviews explaining what I think a game has gotten right.
I will keep it short this time. I want you to go through the experience yourself.

I will say this though. From time to time you come a across a developer who decides to do something fresh; instead of worrying about being judged for not parroting other (airquote) popular games.
It's akin to reading a funny joke and wondering how the writer has used the same alphabet that has existed for millennia to produce something different.
This is such a game. And this dev is such a dev. And this is only their first game.

[insert "We will watch your career with great interest" meme here]

I think the success of this game should be a lesson to other up-and-coming aspiring developers.

Also, about the main fetish portrayed here. Guys ...

Conclusion:
I liked it. And I've been told I have great taste. So, you will like it too.

Surprisingly good game, awakened sonething with me. Now I'm sad that it's so hard to find something similiar or games with sexualized statues.
Overall the game is pretty short but has a pretty unique, creepy and yet alluring setting and a good (happy end... Kind of) finale.
As a wise person once said - "We will watch your career with a great interest".

Short and to the point.
As to hencemore further my statement about this game without embelleshing my words unnecesserally to fill the quota.
No puzzles, i think. My first playthrough ended rather quickly though lol.
The concept is a bit weird but i guess it works on a small-ish game like this.
As videlectrix 1 said: GOOD GRAPHICS!
Enjoyable anantomy with the weird greek marble look (though the greeks did paint them)
A higher quality image of the PC for scenes would have been nice.
In concussion:
My head hurts.

For context, this game had 50+ 5 star reviews in 2 weeks, which is faster than any other game I've followed on this site. I wasn't sure what to make of it so I played it expecting greatness.

After having played about 3 hours of it I will say this: the game is interesting, fairly fun to play, has a good story, and most of all it is unique. That said, this game clearly caters to a specific fetish (statue/amputation sex). If this is not your thing, this game won't be that enjoyable for you.

So why the absurdly high amount of 5 star reviews right off the bat? I'm guessing a good chunk of them were meme/troll 5 star reviews because the fetish is so funny (reading through the comments confirms this). I'll end this review by saying this doesn't mean I don't recommend the game. The storyline may be good enough in itself just to try it. Just know the extremely high rating is borne more out of novelty rather than some S-tier porn game.

I, like many others, were skeptical about the art and premise of the game. Those were actually the best parts about it. The statues were sexy and the concept was quite original. Here were my issues:

Overall, the game had promise. An open world with more choices could make this a very enjoyable game.

GOOD GAME! NICE ASS ! NICE BOOBS AND good animation ! xm i hope i see more game for this "Author" and i hope this masenge its done !! whay me need enter the review with more than 200 characters its so big for me )))

A very unlikable protagonist and some pretty terrible dialogue writing keeps me from enjoying this game any further. It has an interesting premise and setting but that is about it.

Also, the game desperately needs a skip button.

Very skeptical at first, but the game is very, very well done, the creator's effort is noticeable, the scenes are well done, it's too short, really nice dialogues, definitely something worth trying. Looking forward to seeing how this game ends up being completed.

I mean, its good but short and wasn't the best porn game I've played. The writing is alright and the dialogue is passable. The porn scenes themselves are hot, about a 6/10 for me.

I can't say I agree with the sparkling reviews of most others. It was a fairly average game.

Everything about this game is on point. The visuals,, the scenes, the story, the humor, the emotion, everything. I wasn't expecting a game about fucking animated statues to make me feel something, but it did. This dev is talented as hell and definitely going places. The only possible way I imagine the dev could improve the game is by adding a gallery for unlocked scenes, but even then the game is short enough that it's not a big deal to just load a save before the point you want to see. This game gets the highest score and an emphatic recommendation from me.

Three stages of me playing this game:

1. Ok, that looks like a fucked up adult Toy Sstory

2. Whoa what the hell?? Is that a horor? Bruh it's really disturbing now,I wasn't ready for that!

3. Damn.. That's a deep sad story for a fucked up adult Toy Sstory...

10/10 giant chasing statues. Totally worth playing and rethinking your fetishes

Probably one of the most interesting games I have found on this site in a long time. Before I start, I will say this game could be considered more a 4/5 then a 5/5 but I honestly think the creativity of this one outweighs the small things that could be added, especially considering it's coming from a new developer. So, I chose to go 5/5 for that reason.

To keep this simple, I'll place things into points.

Story: Probably the most engaged I've been in a porn game story in a long time. I was geniunely curious to see what would happen next and was even constantly making up theories in my head about the true intention of the statues and everything going on. It's probably the first porn game that's ended that I geniunely wanted to keep going just because I wanted to know more about the story.

There's this creepy feeling when you first enter the home and I loved that atmosphere. Really felt like anything could happen. At first I wasn't sure whether to run towards or away from the statues and even when you finally get to talk to them theres still this strange lingering feeling that there's more going on then everyones telling you. The designs of the statues are nice as well, some have really interesting builds, especially the one with the mouth. There's a sort of monster/horror understone to the statues that I hope the developer keeps with any future games they make since they do them so well here.

Characters: For a game with statues you wouldn't expect much personality but honestly there is a good 4 or so that are really interesting. The way they communicate and interact with the character all feel unique and are fun to watch.

Art: It's really nice and will make you seriously question if you always did have a small hidden fetish for statues. I love the uniqueness on the statues too, with most of them having a different feel to them.

Overall: Really worth a play. I honestly would recommend it just for it's uniqueness alone. I honestly can't think of any real complaints expect that there's no gallery and a forward or skip button would have been nice at the start, but those are all things that aren't dealbreakers. So, seriously give it a shot.

A short, sweet story. If I wanted to be philosophical I would call it a masterclass in humanization, managing to express physical beauty and personality despite being limited to expressionless and incomplete approximations of human form; but that's a pretentious way to say big boob statue ladies make my penis hard.

Much as I would love to see this expanded, I think it works best in it's current state. Adding more content would dilute the surprisingly potent themes and cheapen the experience.

If one wanted to expand on this, then I would expand through a prequel; the sculptors story could serve as a good (not to mention longer) thematic exploration on our progression and degradation as people; the construction of incomplete yet unchanging statues contrasting the aging sculptor and his failing health, body, and ambitions. Plus we would get to fuck the bedroom statue, and I won't be satisfied until we stuff a nut deep in her stone caverns.

Fuck, now I'm horny and sad. Truly, this is the curse of art. Now, if you excuse me, I'm off to bust a nut to the Mona Lisa.

Out less than 2 weeks, 53 Reviews with a 5* average Rating.....genuinely thought this might be some kind of troll with faked reviews, waiting for the shoe to fall but it's actually not. It's....unusual, very much so, but it's exactly what it says on the tin and surprisingly good quality for the start. The MC is relatively relatable as an average strung out office worker caught in a very unusual situation, the fascination with the statues develops....semi organically, it flits between uncanny and not at a good pace and the scenes are some genuine high quality work. For statues that can't really talk or do anything other than wiggle they somehow do get their own personalities across. There's a bit of a mystery going around as well with the unusual manor and a bit of environmental exploration (could do with a bit more, some of the rooms seem a bit on the empty side), so while plot may be a little on the thin side, as a vehicle to the action and showing off MC's personality and reactions to what is happening it certainly gets the job done well, and for most people who are here to "enjoy", the quick progression does wonders (I'm all for a long rpg with intricate plot, but you certainly can enjoy something that's quick and gets the job done in a way that works and there's certainly enough for us to get the major parts right away).

Great game, would like to see more (gallery would be nice but it's not like the scenes are gated behind long conversation so saving prior works just fine). Genuine article, will look forward to updates.

Its a fresh concept which is rare in the porn game world. Good amount of content for such a new release and the animations/art is top notch. Its funny and wholesome and leaves me fulfilled but also excited for more content. Definitely a game to keep tabs on.

Great game won't find many games with this level of creativity and even less with this level of qualify.

The game has a compelling character and backstory it alludes at and the artwork is perfect for the setting it has set. The sound clips it uses are to great effect.
It is a perfect use of a simple game creation engine to its creative limits. Compared to what is normally the most meta to porn games(anime uwu boob character ect) this game seems to be more thought out.

Good story and good content, maybe i was expecting more like there is a room not exploit enought, but for 1 person it's a lot work already and i understand the time it took to made this, so well done for this amazing job.
