RPGM - Artificial Blood [v0.5.7 Public] [Hyanmaru Games]

First soly about this gameplay.
- you are constantly throw back to the bed because you can only take 2-3 action a day and sometimes only 1.
-often it bugs and blocks you by making it so after talking to npc after winning the fight you become unable to open chest as you get teleported home and npc no longer lets you enter there.
-mc lacks any gameplay mechanics, he can only heal and punch, adding even basic skill for him would be easy.
-why is there spell tab if everything is a skill.
and why is there "bullet" tab.
-some interactions are not working unless you interact from correct direction

-all sex scenes are one image at most 2 with close to 0 changes.
-most sex scenes are copy paste, with no actual differences accept colors.
-blindly running around and lack of quest book/tab

sex scenes 2/5 (all mc scenes are 1/5 for micro penis garbage) it would actually be 1.5/5 for repeating sex scenes

gameplay 1/5 tiresome boring, repetitive

story- (it exists????) 0/5

art style - 1/5 pixel mess, sex scenes art style 4/5 if it was used for actually good scenes and with more cgs per sex scene it would be nice, and without garbage micro penis trash.



One if those games where mc has no reason to exists and removing him would make game better.

Boring and garbage mc micro penis trope that made most scenes with him worthless.


Like why the hell make it into ntr game, it could just be rape game like most or simply lose woman mc game.
NO IT HAD TO BE THIS GARBAGE NTR. Like it lacks any sense, any interesting twist or anything. EVEN IF YOU LIKED CUCKHOLDERY HERE MC IS OK WITH IT SO IT IS NOT EVEN NTR IT IS JUST OPEN RELATIONSHIP.

I am so tired of most games being this bad ntr. why is 99% of the games this garbage.

I cannot believe I never made a review for this game. This is one of the most well made, custom artwork and fantastic story cucking stories out there on RPG Maker. It is so excellent in its design, sprites and systems that I fully believe it deserves all the attention and support it can get.

Another unsatisfying rpg maker game. I found this game to be boring. The art is also meh.
This isnt' really Metroidvania anyway.

I suggest you avoid this one and support another game instead. They have another project going on at the same time that is sapping it's time and money away from this one. Big mistake for a very small dev team to do so.

the game is insanely good, I love the content, the NTR and SPH are done very well. The GF and the MC are both very good looking and have an interesting dynamic.

Personally I like NTR to be a bit more harsh, but this light game is also very good.

Some things I would change is that, the npcs can be a repetitive which wouldn't be a problem if not for the fatigue system. I'm ok with spending an extra 5 mins, but with fatigue I have to go back and forth way too many times.

Also adding more cute characters would make the game more fun imo! Also a guide from anyone would make the game way more bearable as I still cannot find the gardener's key lol.

This game is good, just like the previous one. I love the art style they create, and even though it's an RPGM, it's not grindy. The scenes are cool, and the characters are pretty awesome. 8/10 overall from me!, but 10/10 if it's completed. Can’t wait to see what they add next!.

I liked it a lot more than I expected, it's one of those sleeper games where I thought it'd be 'meh' at best, but I was wrong.

I can't give it a 5/5 because it's not a great/fantastic game, it has gripes that mostly are just either bugs or dev's choices, I wouldn't describe them as objective flaws in my eyes. But, I'm sure the game does have those outside of bugs.

As a NTR RPG game, the combat doesn't make me want to die, you don't have to lose to see smut, the MC isn't ENTIRELY a pushover & his love interest isn't always going out of her way to be terrible to him, and the game doesn't have that mean-spirited vibe that turns me off.

What annoys me is the stamina system, party member and enemy-type affection grinding can be a slog, and there are a few preeetty bad bugs that ended up with me having to start from scratch which would have been even more of a nightmare if it weren't for a few debug NPCs.


That being said, if someone would want to make a NTR game themselves, I'd say this game is one of the best examples to follow. It breaks typical tropes, but it's still a good Netorase game, that has healthy sprinkles of other types of NTR.

Absolutely GOATED I can't wait to see more updates. I don't usually write reviews so imagine how good the game is that I'm doing it.
The art style is good, the scenes are great, the characters are sexy and the game has great potential.

I'd call this more of a swinging game than a cuck game. Its actually fairly gay. When you go to the ghost area, the ghosts will kiss or deepthroat through one characters head into the other, which the MC (male, with a cock in his throat) never seems to have any real issue with and the girl thinks is hot.
There's also an entire character who predominantely is focussed on sex scenes with the male MC.
There are a few scenes where the girl neglects her bf in favor of a bigger cock or explicitly states she's "only for the guy banging her" in the heat of the moment, but for the most part it doesn't really have very strong "cuck" energy compared to "open-relationship" energy.
Its pretty unique, at least from what I've played, in that the girl will generally only act if you actually tell her to. You'll see NPC's asking for a kiss, a pussy, whatever, and you can choose whether or not she offers herself and in a later area if you leave her alone with them and if you spy. If you do the spying you'll find she's lying about what she did (for no apparent reason; mc is explicitly fine with her sleeping around and does so himself), butthe whole scenario happened because you said yes to begin with.
So its more netorase than netorare, but done much better than most.
The girl herself shows little to no reaction to the MC getting involved and generally doesn't seem to care beyond thinking its hot sometimes.

Outside of that, game is good. Its a porn game where the porn is very easy to access and its hot. I'm big on oral and this game is also big on oral, so that's a + from me, but probably a - if you're not.
It reuses a lot of scenes/pics, but mostly not so much to be annoying. One or two guys per area will have basically the same scene, mostly in the cultist place.

The combat is pretty easy once you gain a few levels which I also appreciate. I want to fap, not struggle.

Only real issue I have is the stamina system just punishing you for looking at lewd things by forcing you to go back to town then manually walk back constantly, but that could get better if more teleporting statues are added.

tldr;
Its an easy, fast-paced, porn filled game where the porn is hot, especially if you like kissing/oral.

EDIT;
Just downloaded the 4.3 version and the issues haven't reoccurred.
The sparkles behind the doors indicating a cleaning spot are now visible.
Adjusted overall rating

Currently the game is not enjoyable to play, it is basically a walking simulator.
You're trapped in a Villa and cannot get out, there's nothing to do after you finish cleaning the accessible buildings. You can speak to the same 3 people and get the same message but not much else. I tried the in game cheats after there was nothing else to do and still couldn't leave the villa.

I definitely did not expect this game to be so good! When I saw that FMC is a slut from the very beginning, I was disappointed, but the more I continued, the more I liked this game! This shows that a slut can also be very attractive !, the atmosphere and vibe of the game regularly shows the great love fmc has for mc,but it seems like magic has been performed on fmc, she cannot control her lust, you have to take care of her

No need to explain, I guarantee you will enjoy playing it

Great ntr game. Most characters are really hot and the fact that there will be a futa and a femboy is very cool.
Best part about this game is the story and the way the sex scenes work. Looking forward to seeing how the lategame will work.

TL;DR: the game is still at a buggy early build, but has a promising story with some interesting gameplay decisions, which may or may not turn out really well. Seems more exciting than the bunnies RPG from the same dev.

Spoilers ahead!

So far this game seems to have way more gameplay potential than the bunnies RPG one. The artstyle remains good. From the comments I see that the open-ness of Lucille about all the ntr stuff is a controversial topic, I trust the dev has the plot and gameplay mechanics to support this, but so far it does seem like there's little tension. I presume the plot will be more focused on the protagonist dealing with it and reflecting on it.

I really enjoyed the metroidvania aspect, especially the idea that it would require other NPCs to join the party and therefore lay their eyes on Lucille. However, the only NPC that is available to travel with so far (at least from what I discovered, I may have missed something) for some reason didn't take any initiative except for one cutscene that repeats each time when unlocking holy locks. I don't know if it was Lucille's affection that was too high or was it a bug of sorts. Maybe adding some gauges that would make it clearer about the state of Lucille's relationships could help with that, numbers aren't too helpful because it's unclear what they mean exactly. Maybe another option would be asking Lucille what she thinks of others or something like that.

Completing the cultist-demon area became pretty repetitive at some point. There were some super nice scenes, but there were a lot of cultists who kept doing very similar things with very similar CGs, and I believe two of them were almost or completely identical, maybe it was a bug or something.

In any case, the story seems pretty interesting so far and has a lot of potential. Looking forward to see future updates.

the art is very nice and the story is alright. All the different scenes are super nice too and the game has already outlined what's next so there is a lot to look forward to. There Is a decent bit of content there as of right now, but I find it a bit difficult to know how much I am missing as of right now so can be a bit confusing.

Hi, my name is Siderophilia and I've played Artificial Blood [0.2.5 Free] by Hasselnut (or Hyanmaru Games?).

Seeing as this is a first release, this review is bound to reflect a rather short impression. I will try to update it if factors change in latter releases.

As it stands I can't even speak much of the gameplay from what I've experienced. What there is so far is really just the most basic of RPG maker combat with basic attacks and healing. It's rather lacking in depth and feels a little grindy at times but it may come to improve in that regard in future releases. Time will have to tell if things improve and I won't keep the basic combat too much in mind for my scoring.

The art is what I would shout out as this game's strong suit so far. While CGs are nothing spectacular, there's a decent amount of them for a game so early in development. I'm not sure I would call the game gothic horror, mostly since it so far isn't very horrifying, but the theme is certainly there, and the desaturated 16x16 tileset gives the maps a unique looks and feel among RPG maker games. The character designs also fit well with the theme and Lucille's design also screams dommy cuckoldress.

The writing is per usual what I am the most passionate about when writing a review and in this case I don't find it quite up to par. This game is an interesting case because I have a hard time pointing to what in specific doesn't work, it simply feels a bit too rushed to be impactful. I think the intro sequence after the characters arrive at the villa is a good example of this. I assume it's supposed to convey the passage of time and the characters growing close to one another, but the writing is so hasty it doesn't quite feel that way. I think maybe a little more attention ought to be paid to moments like when the characters share that they don't have anyone else close to them. After all the emotional bond should be an important part of a cuckolding story.

Now I'm not suggesting the dev should just stuff the current intro sequence with more words or it might get long winded. I think ideally such moments of familiarity between the characters should be interspersed with gameplay.

I think a lot of times important story beats are also left vague. Like what is Eadric's (the male MC's) disposition to Lucille having sex with other men? I guess that's in part for the player to decide but I think there should be a clear stance communicated from the start. Is he uncomfortable at first and gradually warming up to it, or does he just accept it from the start? I think a bit of clarity could help make the characters feel more like real people.

The game has some rather interesting sexual content and ideas floating around that aren't quite implemented yet. I think if you're in the bi male cuckold demographic just the content alone might be rare enough for you to get into this (though content with Eadric is rather limited so far). So far I don't see a lot of bulls hitting on Lucine and sexual content is mostly based around some guy saying "suck my cock to reach this objective". I guess that might change once the other party members get more fleshed out. Other advertised features like the day/night cycle and fatigue system mostly serve to pace out the content. I suppose if in future builds there is more variety to combat and ways to earn affection points this might prove to be an interesting game.

As it stands I give it 3/5 for a relatively bug free experience for an early build, decent art and interesting themes.

Game has massive potential, looking forward to later updates!

Currently not much in the game at the moment but as the dev has said, this is the initial free release. If you are really keen on getting all scenes budget for 3-5 hours so far
