RPGM - Abandoned - Absolvement of Viscaria [Trial v1.01] [Yasagure Kitsuenjo]

Rated for Trial v.1.01

First of all, this game is only "Abandoned" in that it has not been worked on for some time due to issues in the lives of the dev team, but they have resumed working on games by now as far as I know. Yet, still being A "Trial" version, an "Abandoned" version, it is packed with content. The intro warning claims that the prologue is 10 hours long and lets you choose "Digest" mode to just get the summaries while getting to the actual scenes. I completed this at around 16.5 hours; the trial ends where the game would enter the main gameplay loop.

As for the story, I came into this expecting the heights of wholesome warmth as well as the lows of despairing heartbreak, and I wasn't disappointed. The story of The Curse of Kubel, the previous game, showed me as much. I ended up not treating either of them as H-games but as wonderful stories in their own right that also reward strategy in gameplay.

I'm not going to break it down into category; it's 5/5 to me and possibly more if I compare to other games I'd have given 5/5. The first review for this game is good to look at if you want specifics.

Judging as if this "abandoned" game is completed, since I enjoyed it enough to consider it that way.

Total : 4/5

Gameplay : 3/5 - just a bit above your typical event collector RPGM, but the "sexual content within gameplay" mechanic is a really nice bit. The main gameplay of roguelike maze crawler is locked behind the "abandoned" tag except for a little bit in chapter 2

Length : 3/5 - 4 full chapters of "introduction", lots of earlier story must be skipped or skimmed through. I think even the dev acknowledged this and that's why they put the "digest" gameplay mode, which IMO deserve a bump from 2/5 to 3/5.

H : 4/5 - You either have the kinks for it (humiliation, forced pleasure) or you don't. If you need to have actual sex & penetration, there's like only 1 scene.

Characters : 6/5 - Instead of your typical jrpg where everyone is a shameless scumbag pervert, the main characters and NPC stay true to their characters. I LOVE the main antagonist especially. I'm surprised how well the characters are written.

Story : 4/5 - Plot twists after plot twists, emotional moments, makes the story interesting enough to be a 5/5. But minus 1 star for the boring chapter 1 & most of chapter 2.

If you like humiliation, give it a try. Use the digest version and just read the summary of chapter 1, then skim through playing chapter 2 because it only start to get interesting towards the end. You'll be bored for 20 minutes, and then have some degenerated fun for like maybe 1 hour until the game ends. The ending is kinda satisfying considering it's not actually the "ending" due to being abandoned.
