Others - Completed - Aurelia [v1.00.0] [Mirthal]

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.

+Minigames
+Music

-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

Holy shit. This game is almost like a spiritual experience. The artwork, the music, the themes and the pacing of the game is just perfect.

This honestly could have to potentially to be one of the most classic sex games out there. I've played a lot of the top ones and this really gives you magic atmosphere that just works.

The game is a bit too difficult for my taste especially the dungeon part with the third stage, I think that's a bit too much. I'd prefer that to just be a boss stage. Overall this game is just amazing. Keep up the good work Mirthal.

This game is something that we needed for a long time. Don't let the pixelart or the generic sideways game look scare you away. This game is excellent - story, visuals, scenes, dialogue and minigames! These guys put something together that feels polished and retro at the same time.

All the characters have their own personalities, and all of them feel unique, both visually and dialogue wise. You can progress forward with them through dialogue and quests, raising their affection towards you and unlocking scenes.

The game has mechanics like potions, crafting, fishing, unique items and hidden treasures. The best thing that connects all these are the minigames. These will bring out your inner child as you were sitting in front of your parents' PC, playing ancient videogames on Windows XP. They're incredibly fun, but challenging; just like old times.

However the game doesn't really keep you on track; sometimes you have absolutely no idea how to progress forward in the story or with a character. You'll check every corner at all times of the day, desperately searching for something new. In a sense this pays homage to the old games where you had to figure everything out by yourself. You have an in-game character that can tell you hints, but they're sometimes utterly useless.

PROS:

• Great visual style with detailed scenes
• Interesting characters with their own personalities
• Good story
• The right amount of ero pictures
• Excellent minigames
• Dismas and Reynauld from Darkest Dungeon

CONS:

• Sometimes you're completely lost, and it takes hours to figure out where to go and what to do

SUMMARY: 10/10 game I would recommend to everyone who wants a great story-based fantasy game

This game is excellent, and criminally underrated at the time of this review.

The art style is fantastic. In a platform and genre so saturated with the same generic looking 3D assets and models, where you scroll through games that all sort of look the same, it's incredibly refreshing to see a game with such a strong and unique artistic vision. Sure the pixel-art style visuals might not be for everyone, but I think it works incredibly well and I urge you to give it a shot.

Personally, I love point-and-click style gameplay where you have some freedom in the pacing of the story and a plethora of minigames to level stats or earn money. As opposed to the incredibly linear nature of VN games and the like. I know some people take fault with the minigames, but I actually really liked them. I found them fun, accessible at the start, and challenging to perfect. The diversity is also very appealing - bar management, archery, blackjack, dungeon crawling, tower-defense/archery, potion making. One criticism that I have is that at points I was at a loss for what to do. The game has a character that you can pay that provides hints about progressing with each character. Which is great, but for certain aspects such as catching the frogs, I wasn't too clear on how to move forwards. This is a minor issue though.

The characters are all diverse and interesting. They aren't incredibly fleshed out at this stage, and I doubt that a lot of them will be. I actually like this approach, I prefer to have a handful of "main" characters that are well fleshed out and have lots of interactions, and an assortment of side characters that offer diversity at the expense of less depth.

All in all, if you're looking for a visually appealing and refreshing game, with an interesting setting and diverse characters, fun minigames and a good assortment of scenes that, while not offering interactivity, are appealing all the same, then give this game a try. It has a ton of love put into it and I can't wait to see how it evolves.

High visual production quality and competent writing with room for improvement in gameplay. The retro graphics are very well done, perhaps the game's unique selling point, and the plot is a fun romp if cliched. The same goes for the erotic content: the art is tasteful, but the situations are quite vanilla.

Anal sex, an FFM threesome and light BDSM are about as racy as things get (the writer has some fun with the slime girl and demon lady at least). Different fantasy races are used to substitute for different body types, which may of course be a bonus. The sex scenes have no meaningful player choice, but I did like the characters responding appropriately on repeats (different dialogue) and even developing the scenes into new ones over time. Really wish there were more than two variants, though (first time, repeat), as the writing is quite good, especially combined with the animations. I completely forgot that I was playing a VN and not an RPG.

The game offers a fine experience as-is, but the gameplay could be much smoother, quicker and more varied. Things may become very grindy and samey, and the mandatory minigames progress excruciatingly slowly at times. The interface is a little rough to navigate in places and too often includes unnecessary wait times. Retro graphics doesn't have to mean an outdated player experience.

The rough gameplay experience along with limited scenes and variety makes the game seem like a one-and-done deal, unless further development really hits it out of the park. The game definitely has the potential for it!

PS A second playthrough opened my eyes to how many bugs and unfinished scenes/mechanics there really are. Still playable in spite of them, just can't trust the game to behave like it says it will.

Incredibly beautiful! A true gem.
This game features gorgeous pixel art, sweet and sexy girls and a thoroughly relaxing, laid-back gameplay. Love it. Wholeheartedly recommended.
Even the mini games are fun - which is a rare feat in my eyes.

Hope this game gets updates for a long time!

One of the most beautiful games on this site. Although its high-quality artwork leads to a slower development pace, the resulting end product is well worth the wait, and the developers have been working long enough on it that the content is worth a look.

Excellent game, excited for new content. The art is really well done, and if you actually want a game with your porn it's really good. Tempted me to look at a guide a few times, but felt pretty rewarding to get scenes after figuring something out.

This is a very well made 2d pixel art game. I really enjoyed and always looking forward to the next version. Simple but amazing, really worth a shot.
This game has a cool story,good animation and art, and most importantly cool girls.The setting fits really well a fantasy design withthe story, and art style.

Scenes are amazing, hope they'll all get animated
Aside from that I really liked the stats systems and the influence it has on the minigames
the only issue i get it with the pace of the game, like some quests make you wait a whole day just to get to the next morning
Thank you for your work

This fantastic game is quite underrated.

I started to play Aurelia just recently, despite the fact I saw some scenes on r34 sites long ago. I had no idea that the art of this quality is just a part of a whole game, where you can participate as a player. And there's much more than just a few pics.
The plot is simple and well done. Playing as a male character you complete questlines of beautiful fantasy girls and date them. My fear though is there's going to be too few of those, since Patreon info says it's "up to 8 questlines".
Quests challenge player's perception and curiosity. Good thing there's our buddy, the Dragon, who can help ingame.
I give it five alluring fruits out of five. It might be the best mix of art and gameplay in genre. All I can wish for the game is to grow faster and to get more of the both.

PROS:
- Great art design of most characters.
- Excellent sex scenes with variations and animations.
- A lot of side content to dig for an adult game.
- Helpful community, including the game devs.
- Ingame hints of all kinds. What's left to unlock and how to do it.

CONS:
- Lack of skinny/model type female characters.
- Much clicking. In minigames clicking frequancy is rewarding, but overclicking can launch/close a minigame or even minimize the window when you don't want to.
- Patreon. I wish there were other ways to buy/support the game.

Amazing art style,music,characters,story,gameplay.But the sex scenes just odd because they are not animated or poorly animated.So if somebody want to play a good adventure game download it but if you want to play for nsfw forget it.
