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

Outstanding game that really leans into its pixel art style.

Its probably the best 2d adult game I have played in terms of its overall quality. The pixel art really grows on you as play. The only weak point is the average, by adult VN standards story. Animations are best in class for 2D games and also has a nice variety of decent mini games that keep the gameplay fresh.

Also major props for actually delivering a finished game in reasonable time. Can't say the same for other big players in the 2D space.

Story 3/5 , Originality 5/5, Renders 5/5, Playability 5/5, Animations 5/5, Amount of content 5/5

That's a vast game acquintable even to live in with its everlasting gameplay cycle of perpetual day/night, lovely music and every female character's arses waiting for you to come every morning.

Although to be honest, I barely like anything about this game except for its charming fairy tale atmosphere. And this very atmosphere, probably, is the main flaw of the game at the same time. Cuz there is no danger, no disturbancy, no actual adult themes in character's dialogues and general plot. It's all nice and kind - just like Disney, but in a good sort of way, I guess.

I mean, if this game wasn't so well made from the quality of life perspective, if there was no such decent art style; or the music was a generic trash - I definitely wouldn't rate it so high. Since main gameplay mechanics are just... terrible, lol.
There is no actual time management element in game as it was in Pathologic, for example. Therefore all the day/night cycle is no more than a worthless gimmick.
There is no challenge in mini-games - you just incrementally raising your funds every day with no sense of excitement at all. Or you can just abuse infinite resources via blackjack in a moment. And skip a few days in the bed for your gals to gather all the consumables for you atomatically. You don't have to play this game - just live in it, listen to the music and chill dev says. It's a weird thing for him to say, but somehow it partially works, at least for a bit.

One of the few adult games I purchased from Steam.

Great graphics, great dialogue, great music, and a great tribute to the RPG genre as a whole.

I eagerly await to see if the creators of this game either add or do more content, this studio and/or creator has much potential.

Unlike 99% of western devs who drag out their games with ton of useless dialogues and tedious mechanics this game actually respects your time. It also has a great payoff in the scenes and stories and doesnt award you with just one sliver of still png that isnt even that good which is a plague in the western scene.

Very good animations, somewhat interesting story and minigames. An RPG that escapes the label of VN because of its relative freedom and many minigames.
My only criticisms are that it can get a bit aimless in some parts and that I wanted more content for some characters.

Art is great gameplay is pretty good characters are nice. Just wish some of the characters like Ezra got more screen time. And the gameplay can drag by the end. Fun 6–10-hour game.

The leveling system is wonky with Luck being a confusing stat that only really gets used once in a minigame. You'd think it would help you gamble But I had no difference before and after leveling it.

great art and scenes. The visuals are consistently praised for their retro charm and detailed execution.
The inclusion of diverse mini-games, particularly the dungeon crawler, adds significant replayability and enjoyment.

Golden discovery for this gooner.
This game has exceeded my expectations and has proven to be one more example of the good hidden talent in this small and strange industry. I have quite fun with a few minigames, especially with the dungeon one. I love each character, I find them very sexy and the animations are great. If I have to say a drawback, it is that I think there are few scenes with Lily (I really fond her).

One of the best games I've played from this website. The game part seemed variable, sizeable and enjoyable to me. There is some grind (with rewards) for those particularly interested - dungeon system - but generally it fits seamlessly into the gameplay.

The amount of porn content is moderate. One of the cons of the game is a somewhat repetitive progression. However, the art and its consistency, characters motivations and actions are well done. Would have hoped a bit more of substantial ending sequence though it's not bad or abrupt.

Highly recommend if one enjoys the setting and is looking for something with actual gameplay as a diversion from the usual VNs.

A masterpiece which I cannot help compare other titles against. Aurelia offers a beautiful and consistent art style along with a succinct and compelling story. You might find yourself playing this one more than once.

this games adorable but high quality pixel art and fluid animations is what drew me in, but the charming writing, the story, and even how fun many of the minigames were, make this a 5/5. Some parts were a bit difficult to figure out (maybe im just an idiot), but other than that, great stuff.

Peak.

Um really don't have much to say... scenes are amazing, varied characters with different poses, enjoyable minigames that don't feel grindy or stay around too long. nice story that progresses consistently, not much grind, and it also was finished which is a rare sight. yeah... so... it kinda just kicks ass

W RPG.The game provided many hours of quality content it’s a strategic challenge that demands careful consideration and a willingness to learn from each setback. The system’s layered complexity means mastering its mechanics is as rewarding as watching your character evolve during prolonged, nail-biting battles.

Booga Wooga! Chip Chip Oooga.

Translation:
"A hidden gem if I've ever seen one. Don't let the art style fool you, this game has A LOT of personality and content under the hood worthy of your time.

- Gameplay
It's a point and click adventure type of deal. The story unfolds as you figure out the puzzle of collecting the right items and having the in game skill(s) to do it. Very charming rpg elements that honestly gave me a nostalgia boner with an arousal boner. The best part for me was the mini games, even when using the cheats provided on this page it's still fun and I enjoyed the level of thought into providing more than just the elephant in the room of an sex game.

- Storyline
Fairly straight forward when you start, new guy in town who has a familial tie to the area who's becoming a regular hero and love interest to the women of the town. The main girl is a mage who has some secrets she'll end up sharing about why she's there and all that. The romance side is actually really cute and thought out really well.

- The Artwork
At first glance I originally thought this wouldn't be all that. However I was genuinely surprised at how much detail and depth the artists were able to convey with this style. None of the scenes are bad and they were made to focus on the action rather than where the scene takes place, and even then some scenes take that extra leap and incorporate the scenery to what the action was doing. It's those little touches that just make this *chef's kiss

- Anything I'd add or change?
I did find it kinda annoying for the morning threesome scene with the shop owner and the bar girl happened EVERY time, especially when I'm just trying to buy items for the next quest. But it wasn't all that bad, would prefer it have been something you selected just to avoid that but again not that big a deal.

Overall I was really happy with how this turned out and hope to see more games from these guys in the future.

The gameplay is great, there's many minigames that make you forget you're playing a +18 game.
There's a huge variety of girls and scenes.

To avoid grinding just put the codes:
0 - Sword
1 - Blue fire
2 - Heart
3 - Ring
Multiplies XP gain by 10 - 3, 1, 0, 1, 0
Multiplies Gold gain by 10 - 2, 2, 3, 3, 3
100+ HP/MP - 0, 1, 2, 3, 0

The art is pretty good, some scenes are VERY well done, while others fall short in the animation department. Nonetheless, it's a fun ride. The grind can be annoying in the beginning but becomes a non-issue later on. The plot is decent not particularly surprising, but it’s solid and works ok for the genre.

Overall very fun and one of the better adult games I've played.

Pros:

• The art is quite unique and the CGs are sexy
• The characters are varied and likable
• The grinding for resources is not too agregious, as you can use the in-game cheats to make the game easier or aquire more gold and exp. Some stuff still require you to play the minigames, which might not be for everyone, as some of them do get boring after a while
• The combat is pretty fun for the first few hours, and the rewards are very good. There are dozens of monsters with unique scenarios as rewards for winning

Cons:

• It is a big buggy at times, and one of the cutscenes is not attainable at the time of writing this review.
• The combat can get frustrating at times, because there isn't a way to save mid run, so you have to just keep going. If you accidentally leave the game, then you lose an hour of progress in the dungeon, which can be quite long.
• The ending of the story feels a bit half-assed. Feels like there should have been more, but the devs just rushed the ending and final fight
• Not all the minigames are fun to do, and some can be frustrating

I haven’t played many games like this yet, and I was looking for 2D games that could really catch my attention. This one was incredible — great animations, fun mini-games that sometimes even make you forget it's an 18+ game. Aurelia was an amazing experience. I highly recommend it.

9,5/10

Good enough story to keep my attention all the way, with sometimes funny, sometimes surprising events. The fantasy setting was a great idea to make the characters versatile, I liked all of them. Most of the sex scenes were also great, although the art detail and animation quality is not entirely constant.

Excellent job Mirthal, thank you!

Love the art style! Really fun and unique without being obtrusive or distracting. Gives the whole game a feeling of being fresh and new, where so many feel recycled and bland.

The variety of characters and scenes is good, the atmosphere of the game world is fun, I just wish maybe the story had been a bit more developed and the ending a bit less rushed.

One of the girls just vanishes from the game out of nowhere once you complete her very truncated story, leaving the impression that the writer changed their mind and abandoned plans during development, which is a bit jarring. Other characters have a few great scenes but very short stories, so they are left to idle for the rest of the game while you chase down other story threads which don't really intersect with each other.

This was a great project and I'm really glad I played it, I just wish the story had been given a little bit more room to deliver on its promise. Outstanding work though, definitely makes me want to see more from this developer.
