RPGM - Completed - Alice in LewdLand [v1.77] [Bar Viola Cat]

The game is decent, the story is nice(and hit way too close to home minus the obvious hentai part)

But at certain stage the game become an absolute slogfest because thanks to the lack of hint, and the classic nature of old RPGM game, it will take you a fuck tons of time to figure out certain stage of the game, I literally took 2.5 hours for a SINGULAR part for how much of a slug it was
That say, the "H-stat" don't really exist in this game and is simply the LEWD meter, which, is literally the MAG stat in normal RPG game, so BECOME A SLUT, if you want to have an easier time playing this game

If you enjoyed this game, please consider going on estrogen.

I needed a guide to beat it, but I was enraptured by the writing and aesthetic, and was surprised to find a heartfelt little story that hits close to home for transgender people.

Better to think of it as an RPG that has sex/sexuality as a core theme, rather than as a true hentai game.

I would like to rate it higher, the overall world it present is intriguing but the amount of gaslight information it gave can really confuse player experience.

So here's 3 rule you should know to help make it through Lewdland

• The first instance enemy is introduced the protagonist spoke to stay away from it, HE IS WRONG! Level is important and how do you get that? by beating enemy efficiently and even when succumbing to madness, just beat the enemy there too!
• LEWD is a part of MC overall stat, LEWD will increase as per level-up and how high it is will not effect the story in anyway, why am I stating that? Because the character writing show how reluctant MC is to act like a girl to the point of kink shaming him, even when the first skill he learn is KISS!?
• Preparation is important, money can be earn by grinding for enemy and with sufficient fund you can invest on higher gear to streamline income, NOOB! Just whore your self out! Nobody will shower inexperience slut money, how else will you learn to do your job? It's like your actually playing RPG or something.

The game is quite easy once you figure these 3 rules, but thanks to how obscure the mechanic actually work, it deliberately and artificially sabotage the player.

If you want to play a game of power fantasy that decide the gender of people you meet like the game advertise, well prepare to be disappointed.
Your character IS and Indefinitely should be played as sis-male, even when having the option to turn back into male he felt no remorse being humiliated as Alice.

one of the bests i have ever played
there is not a lot of gender swap games outhere and barely any good, but this is a amazing game,gameplay itself is really fun
some of the puzzles are quinda... anoying i guess, but nothing in this world is perfect
i really like the alice desing and the expresions in general, is not overloaded with lewd scenes but that makes the ones that are there feel better.

10/10

I've completed the game on 95%
==================
alice has good art and style, there are many npcs and enemies that are nice to look at, they also have small description in the archive.
little h-content (for example there is not a single alice featured threesome or foursome scene in the game)
non animated h-attacks are not a bad thing because they would make actual h-scenes less special.
many clothes options but few underwear options. in general i liked it, outfits are fine.
==================
alice in lewdland atmosphere and setting. melancholic vibe of the magic world drowning in madness and meeting it's end. music besides just being very good, plays big part in it
also as the story progresses people's dialogues and looks are changing
world feels like real magic and mystery where werid stuff that doesn't make sense happen
==================
gameplay - generic jrpg with h-attacks. weakness system: enemies have resists/weakness to particular weapon damage types, magic, specific h-attacks. has some unbalanced easy to obtain weapons and attacks from common enemies that can stun for 4 turns
puzzles - they are not hard, sometimes can be annoying, had to read walkthrough 2 times. also there are chests that has stat pills in it and they accesible only after defeating ex boss and obtaining out of bounds walking ability, which is really dumb, why would i need stats after already beating the game.
choices - plenty of choices, although i don't think they change anything important.
==================
this game feels like there's could have been more as author has shown he can make me feel story about twisted minds and eerie magical world, but i'm still fine with how it is

Played it to what I believe is half of it (found 2 MacGuffins out of 4) but then stopped because I got bored. Take this review for what it is.

the bad :
- For a game that relies SO MUCH on H-attacks, it saddly lacks on any imagery. Ennemies can kiss, hug, lift your skirt, carress you everywhere and shove their dick in you. You can even do all of this willingly to attack them but there is NOTHING. No animation, no pics, juste a sentence describing the action. It's a little... sad... Missed opportunity imo.

- H-scenes out of battles then. From what I seen, they are to sparse and rare. Also they're a little poor. Only one or two cg for a scene, with barely any text with it.

- Pregnancy is disapointing. You can get impregnated, and it takes a bit of time before your belly grows. But then you're immediately teleported to a hospital to give birth. Can't play around with a pregnant MC if that's you're thing.

The good :
- MC fairly cute I guess
- Customisable with clothes (each give a specific bonus skill) and tits can get bigger thanks to an item
- Game tries to be at least A LITTLE creative with the dungeons, puzzles and quests (but can be bothersome for more impatient players without a guide).

TL,DR : Game is not entirely bad, but it's not really fappable. Stopped playing when I realised that.

I love puzzles, but I hate looping rooms. Great art & game play, but the looping rooms hurts my head to much I had to drop this game. I also hate the hotel event because I could not understand what to do.

A very simple gameplay but that game has some surprises on later levels:
1) pregnancy in gameplay (a rare feature in games)
2) different clothes (not a bad clothes system)
3) dynamical boobs size (a rare element in games)
4) interesting combat system (but there's no GFX for sex skills :'( )
5) Slow corruption system

Still there's not so much GFX but okay (it's cute).

The game has potential.
I wanna to give 3 stars for that game but +1 star for gameplay surprises.

More than 40 minutes of gameplay and the only 'lewd' scenes so far were one masturbation scene, and one urination scene.

The gameplay is pretty basic RPG standart fare with nothing exceptional about it.
