Others - Completed - Arcana: Heat and Cold [Season 1 Ch. 1-5/8 + Season 2 Ch. 1-5 + Season Stories 1-2 Ch.] [HarDDeer]

As said, let's speak well and little.

- Arcana: Heat and Cold is very beautiful with very cute and endearing characters, with all that a world that could have a lot of potential for an RPG.

That's for the positive side. Now the negative.

- In all the presentation there missing an important detail, Kinetic. When someone like me who play RPGs, choices and doing things in their own order, finally sees that everything is completely kinetic and especially that each chapter is cut by character order. This is not great.

The only fact that each time I press "Chapters" to see an order of characters make my sad, why? This tells me that the easy box was chosen instead of creating a real game and world. 3/5

Wow, really great game! The art style is so well done and I absolutely love the multiple artboard cutouts of different parts of the body zoomed in. First time I've seen this technic from all the games I've played and I would love to see more people use this as it takes a lot advantage of the space.

I also like the fact you can interact with the dialogues and the sex scenes with items . Gallery mode would be nice to have in Season 1, as it has in Season 2.

What a great game. I was hesitant to read dialogue at first because most rpg porn games like to dump paragraphs of exposition at every chance they get when they havent even showed me a good reason to care about their world when im just there to fap. Needless to say the dialogue in this game is brief but comprehensive and the lines were well though-out and fits the characters well. All the characters are good and the mc is reasonably level-headed. Best part is that the sex scenes didnt feel forced, at least in the context of the world.

Overall great game, I would give it a 5 if it had animations. I think this game would benefit well from that since the scenes are quite short for me.

I love the story. Game is rather short, but very well written. Characters are interesting, dialogues are funny, plot keeps you going. If you add to this good art, and sexi sex scenes then you get my enjoyment from playing this demo. I will buy it after I get salary. 5/5 Cheers.

bad control, nonsensical gameplay, stupid settings, also when i tried to minimize the game just crashed, the game could be improved just by turning it into static kinetic novel, you dont have any agency for the gameplay. if the game told you to put specific item into a slot you need to do it. but hey, the drawing is nice

Actually had a lot of fun playing this.

The visuals are no 10/10, but quite good, and enhanced further by the somewhat unique character design and their own personalities and problems.
It shines a little through in my previous point, but let's say it loud and clear again: This game actually made me read the dialogue.
It made me actually care about the characters (some more and some less, of course), and they all were believable and grounded in the world they were living in.
Also, most of them, including the MC, were acting appropriate for young adults. Even surprisingly aware of what's going on around them. Which they take with a big dose of humor and irony.


All in all, i am really looking forward for more.

A solid 9/10 in my opinion. The game itself is very well made, the art is pleasing, the story is enjoyable, and the jokes are a nice touch. I've only played through the first chapter and Im about to start the second. I recommend this game to anyone wanting something short and sweet.

Now that's a beautiful game out of nowhere. It DESERVES recognition. Why? Let's break it down!

Art: fabulous. You won't see many of such artworks in your average indie game. Easy 10 out of 10. And I see where the inspiration has been taken from, hehe

Characters & story: about as beautiful! The scenery itself kinda gave the same feeling as the old good To The Moon - there's some shit going on, the MC goes to look into it, makes investigation, and then you see the result of your work. That said, having your H game compared to an actual RPG which has been worked upon by a company... I think it screams of very talanted writing. 9 out of 10 because all the story and character stuff is good in spite of being simple. Most developers fail to achieve even that.

Gameplay: there's not much to it, the game is more of an interactive visual novel but if RPG maker base is working for the dev, it's fine with me, I don't mind. Extra points for sophisticated memery: you can play this game with one left hand alone so that your right hand would be free to do anything else ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Altough I usually expect some action in the RPGM games, this one didn't disappoint a single bit due to how well it's made. I totally can recommend it to anyone who appreciates both great art and writing.

a see, the game is fine, the story has a background that could say interesting, the scoop too, the CGI although little, is also fine.
Several things that seem "bad" to me? because it is very short, not to say very short, the control is extremely uncomfortable, walking with the WASD and interacting with the F, I don't know why those button configurations, although there is not much to interact with either, the stories go in less 10 min.well, that would be my opinion nothing more

I usually don't review (or say anything) about games this early in development, but this game deserves an exception.
Unique game mechanics is a big +, this is not an another boring rpg.
Art style is great, 10/10 for me.
Story is linear, but it's ok there. And humor is not annoying (which is rare in my experience).
This game deserves to be on steam (when finished of course).

ARCANA :HEAT AND COLD REVIEW (NO BIAS) (NO B.S) :

• Gotta say tho, this seems to be one of those few rare gems which comes around every few months among a shit-load of MTL Elf nonsense games.
  
  The story although brief has some interesting dialogue and feels really fresh and quirky. The few characters present also have a good backstory in the sense that the MC is a stranger and has to get to know some stuff about the other characters quickly.
  
  PROS:

1. Artwork is fantastic.
2. Story pacing is perfect .
3. Dialogue is interesting and feels connecting to the characters.
4. The sex scenes have this unique format which is amazing.
5. Overall map design (altho really small) is sensible.

CONS:

1. The save and load option is a bit problematic to locate.
2. Truth be told except for that nothing which i can see yet as i have played a ton of eroge's before and can see this being one of those games having the potential to be a Legendary game.
