Unity - Alice in Cradle [v0.28i] [Hinayua]

Came for the hentai, stayed for the game

Cute protagonist, good story and nice gameplay, i found myself trying to protect the mc from harm more than i was willing to let sexy things happen to her. This is not a gaming front which you need to sludge through to get to the sexy stuff, this is a true game in which you can also see sexy stuff

The game is amazing in every regard, from animations to sounds to graphics...

And then you get to actually use the controls

I am not into hardcore BDSM but alas this is exactly what it feels to try and play this game and you are NOT dom in this scenario

A lot of fun, greatly eye catching, exciting gameplay and awesome music.
Even if this game isn't complete yet, it has a lot of content and entertaining gameplay mechanics.
Let's appreciate this project and support the author/team, definitively one of my favorites.

- Has a short and simple but fun and catching main story and worldbuilding.
- Visually appealing and smoothly animated pixel art and cgi of great quality.
- This game can run greatly in low end devices and the settings are complete.
- There isn't a lot of sexual content, not considered the main focus.
- Change your keyboard configuration in the game (mainly "jump" button), to fix a bug that lets the character jump when running to the right, but not to the left.

Definitively would buy.

I hate how I love this game the most. It is the only game I look forward to staying alive in order to enjoying the kawaiisou of Noel.
But it is in development.

What makes this different from most 2d sidescroller is the fluid motion and well-animated sprite beside your UI, seeing Noel getting bullied over and over again with many different reactions with wholesome Iofi music blasting in the background.

Its definitely what I want most sidescroller to be in regards to its gameplay, difficult, diverse build-variety, cute characters, SWARM/horde mode, very RNG punishing from stages to rewards. The game incorporates Loot Survival Extraction element where you can drag out your exploration and raise danger level higher and further boost your reward under limited inventory when you return to home, this part of the game aspects made me wanting for more different approaches (atm theres over 20 enemies, 4 weather, 50+ food buffs, 5 weapons, and upgrade slots just for 1 region*).

There are certain hidden settings to allow players to adjust seggs/sfw as well as options such as how often the mc gets teased or wet herself, though still doesn't have any Yuri/Vanilla and entirely just based on mob rape and npc tease.

Music: 8
Gameplay: 9
Story: 6
Sex: 8
Replayability: 7

Magnificent animations combined with a beautiful artstyle and really fun gameplay makes it a game that is destined to become a classic for the fans of the genre.

Can't say much about the story of the game, since it is still a demo, but the characters shown so far have personality and look interesting. The main character looks really nice.

Exploration is fun. The map and stages are are all very detailed and the puzzle design is smart and enjoyable. There are many upgrades and abilities for the player to find, making backtracking fun and meaningful.

There are not many available attacks yet, but combat is very fun already. Lots of different enemies to discover, and enjoy all of their fantastic grab animations.

Looks VERY promising, and I will be waiting for future updates.

v0.26 - school thing story

Love the game, the story and the character, especially the fox teacher (give her more scene please ). The movement is good, and the battle is fun, but a defense mechanic is rarely used.

The minus is there is still no weapon item and other, so the buff only from food and rune-thing.

Really wasn't impressed with any of the h content I came across, and the combat is tedious imo. selecting and aiming the spells feels awkward, at least on controller, I really wish they'd just cast in default ways unless you held the cast button to aim, and have a cycling button or button combinations for them instead of selecting being on the cast button.

combat is great , perfect and animation cool , i dont think h game can be great like that incredible damn boy . some time combat is too hard but if u have tricks , everything willbe easy ( nomark attack with magic ) .

Stopped looking at the pornographic side and actually began rooting for the heroine overcoming her ptsd. Lotta character are so damn expressive as well making you quietly fall in love with them, highly recommend.

Really good game.
The boss fight was a bit hard to figure out at first (took me three tries), but once you realize how it works it becomes manageable, albeit a little long and campy. The hardest part of the game for me was dodging the full-screen wave attacks in the tutorial. I can't speak for the hard difficulty, but overall the game was pretty easy on Normal.
Other than combat, I like the puzzles and the environment, although a few places have hazards that are very hard to avoid (mainly vines).
One thing that I do agree with is the kinda poor balance of game to h-game, but the game is just too good for me to not give it 5 stars. Anything 3+ stars would be reasonable, and anything below is just bad skill or people who just come for only h-scenes (which is fine, but this likely isn't the game for you unless you treat it as a lewd regular game instead of a pure h-game).

as a porn game this game is ass, but as a normal game its pretty alright. my only major complaints are the difficulty and learning curves are WAY to high, the default controls are also a mess but since u can rebind everything i wont count that against it. zwz
id give it a try if your a hardcore platform lover but if your in it for the horni just download a full save or use cheats lol

Excellent game. Very hard. I haven't beat the tree boss yet, and not sure if I'll try again. He just one shots me every time. Despite that, the game itself is actually really impressive. Plenty (almost excessive) depth, challenging combat and good exploration (like Metroid).

Edit: I managed to beat the tree boss. The Rock, Paper, Scissors game in town is really hard too.

Good menu, engrossing gameplay.

I have high hopes for it, but it does have some issues. One thing is the difficulty.

The other issue is using the Up Arrow key for everything (talk, jump, pick up), which means if your inventory is full, and you are standing in a hole on an item, you can't jump and you can't pick it up. You're stuck in the hole. You'll have to use one row of items (like apples or something) in order to clear space so that you can pick up the item so that you can jump to get out of the hole. Because everything uses the Up Arrow key. I'm hoping the devs discover more buttons later.

This is honestly a bit of a weird one and I don't know of any other game on here like it. The game play is great and has a good catchy loop. I wasnt bored once playing this, i did forget it was a porn game since it has no sex. its been out since 2021 so that is a problem. I still really enjoyed it. yes 5* is too generous but it makes up for the silly 1* reviews i constantly see on this site.

I have not seen something with such great gameplay and story in a long time. Very fun fighting mechanics, great graphics and overall neat in every aspect, movement a little shabby tho, good game nonetheless 10/10

This game is well made, it's obvious the dev loves working on it and has a lot of deep mechanics. The difficulty curve is a bit high, in fact the gameplay and the combat start to click for me after half a hour or so. The animations aren't that good and the protagonists looks a bit younger than she should, but overall it's a good and hard game, maybe give it a try but don't expect too much on the porn side.

As of v0.25f, I think this game has the potential to become one of the best H platformers along with Holy Knight Ricca. In summary, this is a (currently 4 hours long) metroidvania which follows a mage girl called Noelle. The story, characters and music are phenomenal and I'm excited to see how these progress further into development. There are two main downsides currently: The H content is very limited with only 2 "real" scenes, and the development of the game is still in its early stages despite starting a few years ago. Here are my thoughts on some facets of the game:

Gameplay:

There were some complaints about the main character feeling unresponsive in earlier versions of the game. Thankfully, this is not the case in the latest version with a controller and the base character movement almost feels as polished as a game like Hollow Knight.

Unlike that game, however, Noelle is a mage who really struggles with melee combat. Your basic melee is like slapping an enemy with wet noodles. Therefore, you must rely on your spells to keep distance and exploit the enemies' attack patterns. The spells right now are limited but each of them satisfy a different niche.

Also the game has a dodge mechanic but this is primarily used in the plentiful parkour and puzzle sections of the game. Your main means of defense in combat will instead be simply moving around and jumping. Speaking of the puzzles, I found all of them interesting as they may sometimes require you to use your spells in way that you would have not thought off earlier. The rewards for these are also great as they give new abilities to Noelle in addition to simple upgrades like increasing HP.

H Content:
If you were to give me this game without any context (before I played it), I would assume that this is just a normal and cute video game. This highlights the seriousness of the developers and their focus on creating a game with porn elements rather than porn with gameplay elements. As a result, there are very limited porn elements in the game so far. Regardless, here is a summary of the different types of scenarios I encountered:

- Brothel (1 animated scene):
Noelle's sister is an alchemist who needs sexual fluids for her work. You can help her out at work and there are two paths for each scene (only one for now) depending on the materials used to create an aroma. If you succeed in creating the aroma, Noelle becomes really horny and assertive. Conversely, Noelle feels afraid of the process and tries to get it done as soon as possible. In both cases, the scenarios are consensual.

- In Battle (? animated CGs)
When fighting against the ink coloured monsters, they will violate Noelle if she takes too much damage. These animated CGs are really weird with the animation times but I found them enjoyable regardless.

- Boss Scenes (1 animated scene)
There is only 1 boss scene if you lose to the worm when saving Noelle's friend. This is a proper animated scene where both of them get pumped with aphrodisiacs and violated with tentacles. Noelle enjoys the process yet you still feel bad for her as she laments being powerless.

Some thoughts:
I played the game on normal difficulty and it was generally smooth sailing. The only times I lost were on purpose or when encountering an enemy for the first time. Still, I can see why those inexperienced with platformers might struggle. The characters and the story also start off with a lot of novelty and personality and it will be interesting to see how the devs develop these over time. While Noelle might be a magical girl, there are hints of a deeper lore in the story like her abilities being the result of advanced technologies, an ancient structure that blocks the night sky high above the clouds, and how all monsters originated from the sea.

The biggest red flag, I have about this game are the incredibly long wait times between versions. I originally played the game 2 years ago but I have seen little progress since then (brothel scene introduced, main hub with moving NPCs created, and game length increased by maybe 10%). Based on the scope of the lore, I expect that the game is far away from being finished and I'm concerned about how long we would need to wait for before the release of version 1.0. Nonetheless, I am still hopeful as the Dev's Ci-en seems to be more active lately. As a programmer, I understand that creating all the mechanics of the game can take a seriously long time. Now I hope that all of these mechanics are complete so the devs can focus on properly creating the scenarios in their work.

In conclusion, I would recommend giving the current version a try since it is not too long. The genres of the game might be daunting to some but fellow degenerates might find them exciting. If you do enjoy the game, be warned that you are going to be spending a long time before more content is released.

Current Verdict: 4.5/5
Estimated Release Date: Hopefully before Half life 3

Good game, wonderfull art, i like it. I hope it get more updadates, and pls if you like to help the communit, remove the censor from the game. I centanly will buy the game. The prologe is amazing, does someone know where to find the game to buy?

The developer is focusing on the wrong things. Cooking, alchemy, other crafting, combat challenges, f*cking puzzles? Why should I be interested in that if there's poor H content, bruh.
Thanks but if I want to play a classic platformer there are TONS of games that are better and worthy of a playthrough.

I first played this game on 0.24g, so I can't say anything about its earlier versions.

This game is really good. The combat mechanics, art style, UI, and soundtrack are all distinct and set it apart from other similar games. It was made with Unity, but you wouldn't even know it apart from when you boot the game.

With that being said, there are some things that need to be addressed when considering playing the game.

1. With unique combat mechanics come steep learning curve. It is not your run-off-the-mill combat platformer side-scroller game where all you need is swing your stick to kill your enemies. You are playing as s spell caster, so you are going to cast the spell, dang it. You are also going to change your keybindings or at least change your approach for its combat aspect as its keybindings are sub-optimal. A lot of people before me did, I did, and you will too
2. Steep learning curve. Wait, didn't I already say it before? I'd fucking say it again. This game starts off with a few tutorials, but there are already numerous mechanics to learn. After that, you have to review what you've learned after dying from mindlessly challenging a random floating diamond with three smaller diamonds inside. Yes, I made that mistake.
3. This game is hard on Normal, but too easy on Casual. You aren't going to enjoy this game for fapping purpose on Normal since you'd die fast and all you are gonna see is the repetitive dying raped scenes. But, you won't enjoy the challenge this game has on Casual until you get to 20 danger levels because you are super tanky on that difficulty. So, you have to choose.
4. Precise platforming on some areas. I'm not saying that the entire game is on Celeste level, but some puzzles do. That means you only have so much attempts on Normal before going back to nearby benches.

In terms of bugs, the most common issues I encountered were visual glitches with lava and overlapping functions. You may also come across these issues, or you may not. Hopefully, you won't.

If you enjoy challenges, are familiar with the short jump and high jump in platforming games, and don't mind a game that can be quite difficult in some areas, then you might want to give this game a try.

Regardless, I have faith in this game. It has everything it needs to be a great game.
