Others - Aurelia [v0.31] [Mirthal]

Stunning game.
Every time I go back to it I find myself playing it for longer than I expected.

Beautiful pixel art, fun minigames, believable characters, and the CGs are awesome too, especially the animated ones.

Can't wait to see how it develops further!

Absolutely excellent retro-style adventure with bit of adult content. It's much better than typical "3dcg" or "RPGM" games here. Many scenes are animated, and characters are pretty diverse, but still not enough.

Probably the best h-game I have ever played from an art perspective. Many of the backgrounds are worthy of being your desktop background, the h-scene art is tasteful, and the writing is good so far. Overall, I want to type that it is a very classy and well made not only h-game but game.

This game is legitimately fantastic, easily among the best on the site. The women are all super hot and varied in both looks and personality. The minigames are generally fun and easy enough once you get higher stats (the defense one can drag on though since it takes a while to hit wave 30). The only thing I can point to as a drawback is that I'd like more content since it only probably took me 10 hours to get through just about all content, even with me piddling around doing way more of the minigames and grinding way more than necessary.

Great graphics and animations! Game is still a bit buggy, with a few crashes here and there, but I was able to get all the scenes. Story is great, along with choice of sex scenes. I love this and look forward to any more you choose to add to it!

Great game, fun story, awesome minigames, really nice art, every character is different. Sometimes I missed some things on ther screen and couldn't move on but that didn't spoil the fun for me. I enjoyed it very much and I'm looking forward to next updates

If there're awards for adult games, Aurelia needs to be up there. Simple, joyful, sexy, unique. Just brilliant. The only aspects that's kindaaaaa annoying is the dungeon. But it's just a little sidestep. Hey, it has sexy monsters to keep me entertain while crawling, so you win this time, dungeon. And don't get me start talking on the art direction. *chef kiss* It has that sweet sweet style that will make you drooling and gives you a nostalgic feeling you don't even know you have.

The most important part: I have to confess, I am scared of adult games with any kind of stats. Because many of them makes you bored out of your mind before anything happen. Just grind and grind. Hell, I think I can gain stats IRL much faster than this. But mind you, not Aurelia. This game hits just the right spot. It rewards you fairly for the journey you take. Even the journey is so goddamn joyful that itself is a reward. True RPG spirit. (Btw, journey is G-A-M-E-P-L-A-Y.)

10/10 Adult Game of the Year.

Awesome story, nice pixelart visuals, and that gameplay. Nothing like other games. This game is so much more than your regular "3d render" or souless "pixelart" game. I really enjoyed the game so far.

melkors tomb got fixed its way better now
sadly more bugs are shown and little progress is made with the main story
i like every pixel art game tho its always pretty to me
skip text button would be appreciated very much

Okay so...

i m not gonna talk about the story. It's a standard fantasy story about magic and stuff, doing small quest for various chars like merchant, inn girl, librarian and what not.

So, outside of the standard story, the game itself have some sweet things.

The graphisms, that are kind of pixelized pictures like old games, is pretty nice and clean. it give the game a bit of charm and style. Even tho the colors are far from being bright and colorfull like we usually see in fantasy game, here it's more into kind of "old book" style brown'ish.

the game have animations that are pretty smooth and sweet. theyaren't long or complicated, but the are nicely done and detailled (for exemple, after you seriously fuck a girl hard, she lay on the ground with cum coming out of her but she also breath and that move her head/mouth , belly and such (even her ashole can move after sex, wich is a nice small detail we rarely see in games, imho)

The game concept is sandbox, with places to visit and npc to talk to etc.. and of course, it also have the money grinding, the stats grinding and the fucking whole day cycle system, coming from morning, all the way down to night, passing by afternoon, evening and such.... you know the deal.

the game have an included help, made of a lizard-dragon that is O'mighty fucker that will eat your money for hints or your precious for a blessing (that i didn't even figured out wtf is this blessing do ...)

The girls are varied and look all kind of sweet. from the halfling midget girl, to the elf bitch, to the human whore mage and the rabbit looking girl and more... i didn't find a girl that i don't like. They also all have their own style, wich are still pretty standard (the bitch, the serious, the shy, etc.) but still present, soo it's not bad.


So, all in all, i passed way too much time playing in 1 time than i should. So that , i guess, mean the game is quite nice to play for me.

I still notice some bad things imho...

the time goes by too fast, basically you move between 3-4 places and the day is over.
The game progression is sometime very hard to understand, even tho the dragon "lizard will help you, you get lots of time like "the fuck i should do now?" before running to him.
The mini games are not bad at all, the blackjack, the fishing etc. i can even count the alchemy on them. But some are not easy to understand at first. And some honestly feel useless and could be replaced by something else.
Like for exemple, the fishing could have been replaced by a RNG small thing that you clic and you randomly get a fish or something else, or nothing. instead of moving the bar with the fish for a few secondes.
and to finish on the black points, some items and stuff are not easy to see thatt hey are selectable. i guess that's because of the colors, but it would be nice if they were more colored/tanned differently when hovered, or maybe showing a small text line.


all in all, it's a nice game, nice to play, with a sweet art style and good animations. i very like it, i just hope it would be more expended, as the places feel kind of empty for now. i mean, the "village" is basically just 1 central place with 3 doors to select... Soo, yeah, need more content.

but as for now, it's a solid 4 stars to me.

This game has:
Amazing graphics,
BEAUTIFUL animations, fun story, good gameplay, lovely atmosphere. Cant wait to see more of the game, but so far am loving revisiting it.

So strange this game doesn't have more followers.

eager to see more, pretty art, good story, a bit confusing about what you have to do at times but nothing impossible, would love to see more stuff with amber or maybe crystal/janet etc etc.

This game gets a 5/5 purely based on how well it rickrolls you, but that isnt it's only merit. Hidden behind a simple premise and fantasy setting lies a well made RPG that is carried entirely by the beautiful art. Mirthal has done a wonderful job creating the images and also creating a coherent structure devoid of jarring grammatical errors. Sex scenes are well made with the quantity being adequate as far as the latest update is concerned. They are simple to obtain provided one is willing to give more time for it compared to other adult VNs.

The RPG elements are among the best in porn games. It even has a delicate balance between being grindy and not grindy . Play it as an RPG which rewards the player with porn and not as a porn game, and then you will appreciate the merits of Aurelia.

However despite its so many merits there are a few issues i found

• The game suffers from optimisation issues which causes my PC to lag. maybe because its old but i multitask with games like Black Flag and ME3. So perhaps it needs looking into.
• Due to a lot of quests functioning simultaneously i found it hard to keep track of all the quests and their requirements especially when you open the game after a day. A menu displaying active quests would be really helpful.

So to conclude

• Art is unique and it surprises you with how well it's done. 5/5
• Story is simple because there isn't much by way of it. The MC is a glorified errand boy who gets laid for helping out the women in the game.but it is a gross oversimplification of things. 3/5
• Gameplay is 4/5, due to it being adequately rewarding while not making it a grindfest. It lacks a quest tracker which makes things slightly confusing and one can get lost for a while breaking immersion resulting in you running across the map trying to figure what needs to be done.

So that concludes my review most of it is minor issues and doesn't cloud the fact that it is a fun game to play.

Great game.

The game-play is really solid and entertaining for a sandboxy visual-novel. The characters are well designed and it's overall just fun to play and read.
The mini-games are mostly fun. There's a lot of variety and you can usually avoid the ones you don't enjoy. There are multiple ways to get (most) items you need, which is great.

The art is sort of hit-and-miss. When it hits, it's great. I love the pixel art here, and the animations are subtle but top notch. However some of the art is a lot less detailed, and the transition can be quite jarring. Regardless, even when the art isn't at it's best-- it's still quite good.

There isn't much of a story just yet. The beginnings of something promising seem to be there, but we'll have to see how things play out as development progresses. I'd say story is the weakest aspect of the game so far.

Overall love it; one of my favorites.

love the artwork and the story
games like this deserve to see a full release on steam and future works being voiced
in the end the style, as far as i'm concerned, is sofresh anddetailed that even only having the scenes without the game would be acceptable
the story is compelling and doesn't slow the pace at all, i'm looking foward to what this artist can do in the future

Pros

• Unique art style
• H-scene animations
• Story
• Character designs

Cons

• H-scene expressions
• Some H-scenes looks weird (mostly Lily's)
• Abit grindy(with use of cheat codes, cause of fetch quests)
• Hints sometimes are really needed when you don't remember the requirement to progress. (just says hints not required or just talk to someone but doesn't update when you need to do something else after talking to them)

Notes
If you are going to try out this game, I highly suggest using the code to get past all the extra grind and to refer to the wiki whenever stuck.

You can also get hints in what to do by paying the 'Glittering dragon'(Lizzard)
gold then choosing which character you want to progress.

Sometimes you literally cannot progress certain characters (shown in hints) unless you progress other characters first, so keep that in mind if you think you're stuck.

This is a fun pixel art game made with passion.
The atmostphere, dialogues, sex, and game progression is great.

-Some minigames could be refined a bit to be less long / grindy and a bit less repetitive.

Overall this game is just a fun positive ride, have fun and enjoy !

This game presents you with the option to take your everyday guy who just inherited a piece of property and put them on a path towards greatness.

This game has numerous (and I mean numerous) built-in systems and minigames to make you invested in every action you take on your journey. These systems include, but are not limited to, minigames for fishing, farming, learning spells, bartending and experimenting with alchemy. These minigames provide the player with fun challenges to overcome, with some scaling in difficulty as you perform them successfully (looking at you, bartending).

Additionally, the game gives you the freedom to choose what (or who) to do next. There is a wide variety of engaging and well-made characters, each with their own unique qualities, quirks, hopes and dreams. Quite a few of these are romancable, allowing you to enjoy them for more than just their fun and engaging personalities.

Overall, after spending hours in this game, I'll say this:
It's great and you should absolutely give it a try!

The game is overall great with nice dialogue and interesting/attractive characters. Gameplay is smooth for the most part, the dungeon is a tad slow for me.

The scenes in the game are great, we have a varied selection with a big array of characters. The animated scenes in particular are really well done .

There is multiple hours of content in the game presently and I look forward to the further development of the game.

A game worthy of supporting.

This is one of the more fun games I've seen in a while. It's a really good mix of story, graphics and animation! The material grind is a little much but someone helpfully provided a way to deal with that
