Others - Completed - Aurelia [v1.0.1] [Mirthal]

What a game! This hits everything you'd want out of a porn game.

Story/Writing - 4/5
The story is pretty good, although kind of a generic fantasy harem. MC is new in a town full of horny women and monster girls. There's more to the story and I liked it. The writing is also good. Each character is unique and has personality. Besides the MC lol. Like other generic harem games/shows, the MC is a bland nice guy so the player/watcher can put themselves in the MC's shoes. It's a tried and true method.

Gameplay - 5/5
The gameplay is pretty funny. There are several minigames to play to get items and gold. The minigames are fun and not too challenging. They also give plenty of items so the game isn't very grindy at all. The best minigame is the tomb minigame. It's similar to RuneScape's dungeoneering skill. You go through rooms on a floor looking for a portal to the next floor. Along the way, you fight monsters and get loot. Besides the minigames, the gameplay isn't anything special. It's similar to other VNs, go to X location to talk to Y person at Z time to progress the story.

UI/Aesthetics - 4/5
All the menus and UI work well in this game. Looks nice. The music is nice fantasy music. I wish there were sex sound effects for the hscenes. Also, I noticed some bugs while playing. Nothing too bad, just little things.

Art/Porn - 5/5
The art for this game is the real selling point. I love this pixel art in this game, it looks great. From the backgrounds to the girls to the animations, everything looks really good. And there are plenty of positions/fetishes served in the game. One thing I would say is that some of the Hscenes are animated while others are not. I don't know if there are plans to animate them or not but I think they should be animated.

Overall - 5/5
Overall this is a really great game that I think you should check out. I really enjoyed and came multiple times to the game.

One of the better games on this site. Pixel art is a cool niche art I've always been fond of, but it is taken to a whole new level in here. I never tought it could be this appealing and engaging and this is due to the amazing artwork and animations, it shows how much effort there is behind them.

Plot is simple (so far at least), yet characters are cute and charismatic and their situations involving the MC seem well written and fun which adds a lot to them and their relationships.
I believe the only downside is that the minigames added recently could feel a bit repetitive and grindy but still they are far better than most grinding done on most of the games on this site so I still encourage this method of gameplay, at least it can be fun and the rewards are worth it (wich isn't the case for most other games).

I'd gladly replay this game again when more updates are released, I've already played it whole a few times and it just keeps getting better.

tl;dr: amazing artwork that just gets better, cool minigames replacing grinding and A LOT of great content. Must play imo.

used to be a 5 star game.
but author keeps on adding more grind and more "minigames" which are just QTE, grind, unnecessary clicks due to clunky UI, and unnecessary delays (you encounter a monster. 2 second delay. now you can attack it via QTE, 2 second delay, now it attacks you via QTE, 2 second delay, now you can attack again, 2 second delay, etc.
All these QTE "minigames" will break your wrist and will to live.

This game definitely deserves more attention: just look at the artwork, it's top tier! Unfortunately, visually related stuff is inconsistent. Some scenes are animated, some aren't, some are close to retro photo>pixel art sort of take, some are too raw. That's why one of half a star I'm taking. And for a few rare little scripting bugs.

The second half a star goes out with a bit too grindy in-game dungeon. I'm not against the idea, mind you but the execution is lacking (which is undestandable - it's not fucking easy to make a good dungeon crawl mini-game). The main gripe isn't even about the content of it (which can use some cutting, too much stuff imo, I'd left 30-40% of tiles as just empty) but what annoyed me the most are delays after you killing mobs - all those little delays one should be able to simply click through. Would be also nice if after getting the chest achievement all the other chests could be unlocked right away.

Now, as the above paragraph was mostly aimed to the devs as my humble feedback, I can return back to everyone and say that otherwise the game is great and I couldn't keep my hands off of it, even though I consider myself as a very picky player. As many people like an indie-game hit Stardew Valley, this game has the similiar ability to allow one give in to his majesty escapism.

Aurelia has adventure hook, good mini-games to distract you with, good humor, all in all cozy writing and of course when it comes to adult stuff this game is one of the best barring aforementioned issues.

Tl;dr: if you like what you see on screenshots - just try it, this is a real game packed with content even now (v0.23).

What a great game. This isn't normally my type of game but the pixel artwork intrigued me and it was certainly worth it.

Yes there are one or two annoying parts, the main being the Ohro chase minigame but overall this is brilliant. Well done Mirthal, I look forward to seeing more of your excellent artwork.

Aurelia has an fantastic art-style and a great mix of gameplay + porn! Animations are generally well made and fluid, early game has some unfortunate still renders instead of animation but hopefully it's content that can be updated to match the quality of the latest content.
Music and sound are what you'd expect from a title like this, generic but not overbearing or intrusive.

(Reviewing v0.23)

An excellent game with a healthy amount of content at this point. Not perfect, but comes pretty damn close.

The artist has absolutely nailed the game's "style" in a way that rouses nostalgia for those who've played games from the 80's and early 90's. I absolutely love their work here. There's also a decent amount of animation as well, which is well done too. Like the style, it has a very retro feel as well though so don't be expecting buttery smooth animations. It's very likely intentionally done in a way to conform to the style I mentioned earlier.

The game itself is fairly interesting and fun to play. Don't expect a super deep story here but it does more than enough to set the stage for you. I like that there are numerous minigames here that all do something different. The variety is fantastic for keeping you interested and engaged. I do think some can be a bit tedious when you need to grind them (Karos' Defense being the big culprit here), and the newest minigame (where you chase Ohros) is tuned a bit on the difficult end of things, but it's new so the creator might iterate on it a bit to leave it in a better place in the future (since I can already see a lot of people complaining about it). A bit of difficulty is good however and there's a decent challenge here, without it being frustratingly hard.

The sexual content is straight up fantastic. Like I mentioned earlier there's a fair bit of animation, and it works well. With many different women to "befriend", there's a nice variety of situations and kinks, prob something for almost everyone. And some of them are absolutely hot as fuck.

Overall, a game everyone should try at least once! Especially if the style catches your eye. But even if it doesn't, you might be missing out on a real gem if you don't look past it's cover.

Best art style out there, executed amazingly.
Sometimes the progression is not intuitive and the games can be a problem for some, especially those who grind them to hard (take it easy, the late game does provides all you will need for the following updates + integrated H-scenes.) but this is such a beautiful, charming and professional presented product, i would put it at right at desctop, for everyone to see.

Story: 4/5
The story is pretty decent, but the substories are great and what makes this game stand on it's own two legs. The characters are all good, displaying different ways

Gameplay: 4/5
Some simple mechanics, though what's put in there is nicely executed and doesn't feel shoehorned at all. For the most part it's a VN with some puzzle elements, dialogue and a couple pixel hunting portions. A really good time.

Art: 5/5
An extremely unique and rare take on the medium. It's very weird, this almost feels like CGA era graphics with extended color palettes and higher resolutions. The artist definitely nailed the older RPG feel.

Conclusion: 4.5/5
Wait for this game to come out and support the developer. I'd love to see more work from them in the future, if only to see what they'd work on next. The game needs some fleshing out, but overall for something that's unfinished, it certainly doesn't feel that way for the first few minutes.

Aurelia is that superbly made leatherbacked fantasy novel that your grandfather has been writing in for the past 10 years if he was a pervert.

4.5/5 (rounded up) for now, expect that to be a flat 5 when everything is implemented.

Ms. Spanks: 5/5
I really like this game. Its major things for me are the character designs. Not big on the rabbit girl though, sorry. I really liked the design of the demon chick and how you get to her.

Minigames are cool and all I just wish we had more to do. I would love more lore for the world but I also like the fact that you only get a small glimpse and it feels very 80s-ish dungeons and dragons which is awesome.

Umm... the scenes are pretty hot ngl. We play these because we think theyre funny most of the time, the humor is pretty spot on more than mainstream games I think. But this one is an amazing game you should support and I kinda want just a flat RPG game from this guy now.

It kinda made me wanna be a barmaid lol... That scene is soooooo hot hahaha.

EDIT: Sorry, I hit send before tidying up the review.

Visuals: 4/5 : I'm a fan of the art, but some scenes are of too bad quality. It's a shame. I would recommend the developers to redo some scenes. Actually the first scenes are really well-done, which make me wonders whether the developers are not already doing an overhaul.

Story: 4/5 Great story for a lewd game. But I feel that the main plots gets diluted in secondary plots. After the training is interrupted, I feel that the story is not moving forward.

Grind: 3/5: I like all the mini-games, but I feel that it takes to much time to unlock lewd scenes. The worst is when randomness is involved (fishing, gardening, etc.). My recommendation is to use cheat codes (which is sad).

Bugs: 4/5: Only encountered one bug (that crashed the game)

My biggest grip with the game is that I couldn't finish it without looking at the wiki. The game has system with hints, but it's often not enough due to big amount of locations, characters, times of the day. For example, to make progress one quest, you need to actually have made progress in another quest by talking to a character at a specific time in a location you've almost never been (and probably forgot about it, like your living room).

If you're going to play this game, don't hesitate to use cheat codes and look at the wiki as soon as you start to feel frustrated.

Also don't play that game for quick fap!

Will I support the game? Yes, for a few months on Patreon!

A fun little game, really didn't expect anything, and damn, love that it's adult-themed but also some kind of retro 'RPG/Point-and-click adventure' at the same time, there's work behind that.

So far, love it, reminds me, to some extent, as a mix between Monster Girl Quest and What a Legend (without the rape stuff, obviously).

Glad I found this, if the developer reads that, you got a new patron.

- Great pixel art;
- Interesting in-game world;
- Fun mini-games that don't get boring;
- Intuitive interface and gameplay.
The best I've played lately, I recommend. We are waiting for the completion of the story.

One of my absolute favorites.
I have binged playing this for about a week now, and its a great game in its own right. The closest I could compare would be playing an adult stardew valley, and with some really nice minigames which don't suck.
The pixels are hard to get used to at the start, but when you get into the rhythm of things , its really an amazing experience.
The quality of life things like the frog help, and so does the point that it doesn't require insane amounts of grinding.

For the future, I hope for the best. I would love for the dev to be pay a little more attention to the foreplay part of things, and elaborate on the sexual situations. Overall an awesome game and a great universe to immerse in.

just generally a great game, very simple rpg mechanics and mini games, and its great because it embraces that simplicity the mini games dont try and do or be more than what they are capable of and each one has more depth than it would need to be playable allowing you to playground with a little bit of strategy.
The MC is an ok character which is a massive feat considering how many games make an unlikeable main character and shove them in your face and the story and art are really good.
overall so far the game just does everything very very well. and i highly recommend it.

Excellent game game. Really harkens back to early 90s adventure/RPG games lots of varied and fun content. The mini games are simple and fun for the most part and you don't have to do a ton of grinding to get where you need to be. There is some randomness involved in getting what you need to complete some quests but I was never hung up for so long that it was a chore. The fantasy narrative and characters are engaging and most of the pixel art is tremendous. Not all of the H scenes are animated but those that are are excellent and hot. Highly recommended for everyone really but especially anyone looking for a nice change of pace from the VNs that dominate this site

Brilliant game. God, i love the music, it fits the game's atmosphere and theme so well. The story is good too, can't wait to experience more of it. Though, im not a fan of furries or the like, but i liked what i saw so far.

Brilliant. Old school graphics, fantastic atmosphere, interesting characters, almost no grind, minigames are simple and placed in its place.
One of the most interesting projects on f95 for the long time.

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.
