RPGM - Completed - Anastasia and the Lewd Curse [v1.1] [Jupiter Croissant]

It's a H game where you don't necessarily need to do anything sexual... I, for example, just entered the dungeon and didn't leave until I finished the game... So if you ask me what I thought of the H scenes, I can't say because there was nothing... For this reason I think the game has a problem in its own proposal. I should investigate the students' disappearance, but the game only does that initially. Then I just need to go to the dungeon and finish the game... I just went to see the scenes in the memory room...

The game was alright.

It is a classic RPGM in which you explore the academy, and unlock scenes in the process. There are various magic elements you can use, and some items. there are also a number of endings. What I dislike is that some endings are not that visual? like SPOILER when you are exposed to all of the class, you see the scene from the back. In this position you can basically read what is happening, but barely see anything. This happens with other scenes as well.

So i general, I would say is a normal game, it do have a bit more work than your average game, but that's it.

Absolutely Terrible.
This game does not deserve an extensive review, and it will not get one.

In a nutshell; You start the game, the plot is set up, and then you're thrown to a dungeon. That's it. If you beat the dungeon (about ~10-20 minutes long), you beat the "game". To unlock the scenes, you can either beat the dungeon, or enter and re-enter the area to fill up a "lust bar".

• Yes, to unlock the scenes, you'll have to watch a loading screen for around ~20 times.
  • Unlocking the scenes takes much longer than just beating the dungeon. Like, what?
• Game-time is anywhere between 30 to 90 minutes depending on whether you watch the prologue or decided to not finish the dungeon.

Honestly, the game design is terrible. It is beyond me why this has such a high ranking, it's an outright waste of time. With all that said, I did enjoy beating the dungeon, so it's not all terrible.

Art: ✓ I love it. I love myself some modern high quality art but that can pretty numbing after a while. So art styles like these are breathe of fresh air.

Gameplay: X it's a def miss. It's tiring, boring and stale. This coming from a guy that liked RPGM games.

Writing: ✓ not bad, not perfect either. I def love the character and her personality and the downward spiral she's being forced to endure. It adds to the fun and pleasure I had playing the game til the end.

H Scenes: ✓ could've used more non consensual scenes (just a personal taste) but the writing in the scenes and the character itself make it pretty decent for me.

Recommendation: ✓ will def recommend.

That makes it 4 ✓ out of 5.
Overall I've had fun. There are def better ones but for me personally I really like it

Decent Game, technically in this game, you never once have to engage in combat, just keep switching maps to increase her arrousal to keep getting scenes, then when she gets peverted enough you get to go outside and look for a few scenes yourself. The idea is quite neat and unique. But the reason I gave this game a 3 star, is simply because the Art isn't good enough, it looks extremely amateurish, which is a shame given how good the corruption is. Only if it had better art, it would be a 10/10 in my eyes, other than that, I personally feel like she could be corrupted a step further than what was shown in the game, but hey, that's probably just me.

The combat is not good, the dev knows this so he put a lvl up cheat room in the dungeon, the exploration is also barebones where you have no control over the story for most of the game (spam area transition until arousal bar is full, repeat until near near ending where you finally get to explore a bit to see the change in the town, too little too late), luckily you get to unlock all scenes fast with a unlock scenes in the recollection room to bypass the barebones gameplay, the art quality is 6-7/10 but got to applaud the artist for managing to be able to cater to many fetishes with his drawing, surprisingly the music in the game is unique and quite good instead of using common stock music or even lacking one at all, the AI translation is at least serviceable, it's one step above MTL poetry but definitely could be better.

With that said, the the H content in the game absolutely nailed the "corruption" genre, for those who craves the feeling of making a mesugaki ABSOLUTELY "wakarase", this ones for you.

The game can be confusing at first a tiny bit but it gets going fast. Combat is basically nonexistent and I feel that the corruption pace is a bit rushed. I personally wish it had more face animations and she would slowly go form hating lewd things to completely enjoying them. She does that in action but the expression is not the best fit.

Low level of interactivity is kind of correct here,
However even though the game isn't a challange due to the leveling up room, I still believe it's a worthwhile gaming experience and serves well to show a story of courruption with virtually no grinding required to lvl up and progress the main corruption plot.

I definitely recommend it unless you are looking for a grinding/challanging experience in a game, in which case you better play something else.

I really enjoyed the corruption progression the overall pacing of the game, felt like it didn't drag on too long and finished at the right time. The H-scenes were really good, with quite a decent bit of variety. It really made it believable how the curse was getting worse. However, the biggest complaint is that the art was mediocre. The actual fighting gameplay was forgettable and felt more like an afterthought.

A game where the the game gets in the way of whatever you want to do. Some people might question why you would critique a porn game *game* based on game mechanics, so hopefully this can help determine if you will be bothered enough to play.

The art, story, and corruption aspects are all fine to great even. The problem is bog-standard RPG combat that and desire bar, that honestly, has no point really being there.

For combat, there's a few mini-bosses and the final boss who there is a single defeat scene for losing to. Beating final boss ends the game. defeats to other mobs don't matter. There's a room you can just spam to instant level up by defeating 1 monster. On the one hand, this room reduces the grind. On the other hand, the entire setup feels wholly unnecessary and unrewarding from every angle. Why even bother?

There's a desire/horniness mechanic that also, just feels like it's in the way of the actual game itself. When I first read the explanation I was expecting something like Curse of Kubel where taking actions would raise your desire. Maybe it would be every couple of steps. Maybe it would be talking to people and fighting monsters. But nope. It's just changing between certain map screens raises it a certain amount depending on how far corrupted you are.

In short, it's a game that's built more like a "choose your own adventure movie" that instead of asking you whether you want to train, fight the boss, or indulge in your growing desire, it throws you into an open world and makes you slowly walk to your decision.

If you like seeing a petite noble girl fall into corruption, you might enjoy this game. But you'll probably be frustrated with every part of this game that tried to be a "game" as every game-aspect appears to have been thrown in without much thought, dragging what could've been a great or excellent game down to the ranks of mediocrity.

I really honest to god don't understand and will never understand people who critisize or deduct points from a PORN game becouse of having no gameplay? Like are you legitimately spending your time on a porn game to have fun playing it? are you just playing porn games on your off hours without jerking off? what the fuck are these people talking about?
Anyways, the game indeed has basically no gameplay except walking around, and that's all you need in a porn game, the fact that it is a game serves as being a vehicle to get you through an erotic story and also making you spend time on it to get a feeling of anticipation and satisfaction when you get to the good parts.
That's what porn games are and this is a good one, I only give it 4 out of 5 stars becouse I personally felt like in the midgame some of the rapey shit was even too rapey for my taste, but the early game when she's just horny and the lategame when the corruption picks up speed are very good, simple game, actually not that short at all, art is very good and there's lots of it, really good writing as well, will make you cum.

Edit: I've come back to the game a couple times it's VERY good, and I'll expand on my original statement by saying that the lust mechanic basically is removed or deemed irrelevant at one point and it becomes one of those normal rpgs where you walk around and talk to npcs and stuff to get more content, it really pisses me off that so many people gave this game basically what I'd call completely illegitimate 1 star reviews and in their descriptions of it you can see they haven't even played it, it's straight and to the point and there is almost no grinding or like a total of 5 minutes of grinding to be able to access everything in the game and the rest you get in classic rpg fashion. I'll double down on the art being pretty good and the humiliation and dialogue being excellent, I'll bump my review up to 5 stars because it really is a 5 star tier game unless you consider that you need to do tedious grinding for a game to be good

Wasnt bad at all, I enjoyed it. There is a severe lack of endings in my opinion but it is what it is. The art isnt as bad as people make it out to be, looked pretty good to me. The story is fine, nothing mindblowing but overall I enjoyed the game.

This game is the definition of a mixed bag.

On the cons side the combat is bad. It has no real reason to be here. Only one battle in the game even matters and thats only for 1 possable ending. The desire mechanic is also pointless because It just has you repeatedly moving between loading zones to fill the gaige to trigger auto events finally the artwork isnt very impressive though it is sevicable. Also the start of the game can be a little confusing as there are characters that need to be talked to multiple times in a row to progress the story without that being telegraphed.

On the pros side the corruption itself is very well done. its slow and gradual as each action makes the MC slip just a little further untill one specific event makes her fall off the cliff. There is a lot of veriety in activities and while there is scat it is completly avoidable as the game warns you off if you stumble on thew event and gives you an opportunity to skip it. The translation despite being MTL is actually not horrable. It could definitly use a once over by an editor but it is good enough that you can understand whats going on.

All in all I had a good time with this game despite its flaws

Art was mostly terrible. Gameplay is literally either "grind a shit load on monster, fight boss", or "switch zones a bunch of times because the dev couldn't think of any way to increase desire/corruption".

I don't know that this game has been shit on enough.

It's like they made all the scenes and senarios, and instead of doing a typical corruption game, they just said, "fuck it" and made it a slide show, and put all the combat in one room. Fight an enemy, gain a level, repeat till you can beat the boss.

Seriously, people will say "just look at the gallery" for games cause they are too slow, or hard, or go on forever, but this fucking game, damn, you just walk between two screens till your lust meter hits 100, then you get a scene. That's how you get them. Repeat till you have scene of all of them, i'm not kidding that looking up the gallery is just streamlining the actual game experience. So go do that, there's some decent pics.

This game is awful. It's basically a VN pretending to be a game. Doesn't really have any real gameplay mechanics. No real combat or exploration

The worst part about this game is that the dev created this straight path where you fight one mob after the next in order to level up, but there is no combat sex, no defeat sex with these mobs.

This is by far the worst game I've tried.

A barebones 10 minute long RPGM game stitched to a gallery with buttons that need to be pressed 20 times to move to the next scene. Your options for this game (once you get through the unintuitive talk sequence in the prologue) are either go to the single dungeon in the game and hold down Z in stock RPGM fights until you hit level 35 or walk between specific screen transitions 20 times to see the next sex scene. No attempt to justify why the main character would waste time ambling around town when she's been cursed and no pressure from the in game resource systems to lead her into the sex scenes.

TLDR: Download a save, there's nothing worth playing here.

Sorry for my opinion, I can't play it. The game is just stupid, I sat in the prologue for 50 minutes, I didn’t understand anything, sorry, I don’t know English well and it’s easier for me to skip text. But this game brought me down, I had to go to the forum just to get out of the prologue, and then I also have to play battles with some monsters, after defeating which there is no H-Scene, that was the end. I understand the game has a plot, but I was just tired by the time of the battles, I didn’t even get to the H-Scene, I’ll download the save. Talking to an NPC more than 3 times to just progress through the story is the height of stupidity. Sorry, I did not mean to offend the developer, this is my personal subjective opinion.

Pros:
-Likable FMC. Very elegant and respectable. Her corruption is something she is forced into, but usually due to her own choices and the circumstances.
-Good translation. Despite being MTL, the translation flows fairly smoothly. There are a few hiccups here and there, but for the most part is great
-Nice corruption. It's slow, from her feeling shame of masturbating, to her feeling shame about prostituting herself. Despite how much sexual stuff she goes through, she feels shame and embarrassment.
-Virgin playthrough/corruptionless is possible. It's boring, but 100% possible and fairly easy. You just sit and grind for 20 minutes (and is a feature which I'm assuming is a bug that allows you to level up after every single mob in the monster room), then kill the final boss.
-Recollection room exists

Cons:
-Horrible corruption implementation. While her progress is nice, how the MC gains corruption is by switching maps, and from what I can tell, nothing else. So, the best way to grind out scenes is by walking back and forth between maps. It'd be nice if it were something along the lines of "every step she takes, she gains +1 desire", but well, that wasn't implemented. Plus, the corruption happens fairly linearly, with 1 scene happening every time you hit 100 pleasure.
-Art feels a bit stiff. Gets the job done, but feels mildly amateurish.
-Feels like a "developer's first game" (and I believe it is). It's small things, like no door animation, mildly annoying loadtimes for when the map "changes color", no teleportation or fast travel, etc. They aren't big things, so to speak, but you can't help but notice them.

All in all, really delightful game with a few things here and there that hold it back from being exceptional. Very excited for this dev's next game, should he decide to learn from the mistakes on this one and pursue another title!

It's pretty flawed. It's a humiliation kind of game, but the main character is drawn very woodenly and isn't particularly expressive, so it doesn't really work - and then it's just, you know, kind of bad. Subjective, there. What isn't is the game design.

There are, more or less, two routes; the one where you beat up the evil witch and the one where you fall. To beat up the evil witch, the moment you're out of the prologue you wander up to her house, enter the designated "here you fight monsters to grind to level 35 room," do so, fight the two gatekeepers, then fight her. There is no penalty for losing to trash mobs, a game over scene every time to lose to a gatekeeper, (and there are more scenes then gatekeepers, you just get a new one everytime) and you are given an item to heal you to full unlimited times, if outside of combat. The only thing you have to spend money on is to restore MP, but spamming basic attack is just fine and usually does more damage. Beat the witch, the game assumes you did a lot of other content despite... never having to leave the mansion for any reason, happy end.

The other route is triggered by moving between specific areas a number of times, which as above, you never have to do. And they're broad areas, not every map zone. Everytime your meter peaks, get a scene. And then you do scenes to get money once you fall far enough, etc etc. But you never need to, and you have to go out of your way to trigger the start of it as is.

It's very poorly designed. Are the scenes worth it? Eh. They need very little context, so get a 100% save and just fall through it.
