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

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

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.

Aurelia is simple but addictive.

+ A good amount of H content right now for a number of characters.
+ The animated scenes (there are a handful) are some of the best on the site.
+ Beautiful art for BGs and characters (DON'T be put off by the fact that it is 'pixel art' because it is just that good)
+ Dialogue is fine and fits each character well as there is a nice variety of different NPCs
+ Mini-games are actually fun and feel like they had some thought put into them (the newer ones at least, like the tower defense mini-game)
+ NO ISSUES WITH SAVE COMPATIBILITY at all (as of 0.17.6)

- Story is present but doesn't really have too much of a role right now.
- H-scenes could have a few more 'stages' or if possible 1 extra angle each

If you like fantasy games, this is a good recommendation. One of the most polished games on F95 right now and is criminally underrated. Easily worth your time and has a lot of potential for the future!

[Review for v0.17.6]

Not much to say.
There are plenty of games that are content-complete and released that look and feel like Electronic Arts had its hand in their development, what with all the bugs and shoddy execution of what is usually a neat concept.

This game, however, oozes so much polish that I fear for the F95 servers. The art style and quality, a nice pace of progression with each character, mini games that are simple enough and yet don't feel tacked on but instead just complex enough that the fap-focused mind can still handle them, and great writing make this one of the most promising projects of its kind.

The only thing I would criticize at all is that sex scenes might benefit from being longer, not in terms of animation but of writing to accompany the excellent art (and impressive animations for new scenes). With how much work obviously went into those, its kinda sad the accompanying text doesn't make you linger a bit longer.

If throwing money at this can speed up development any, grab a handful. And even if it doesn't, I don't think there are many other people whose work is on display on this site who deserve it more.

Aurelia has a huge nostalgia factor for me. The pixel graphics take me back to the adventures of the 90s like Shannara. But of course those didn't have sexual content back then. So nostalgia + adult content = top rating!

Usually I am not pleased with pixel graphic but in this game it is really beautiful and give art value for the experience. Story and characters are simple but more than enough for a fantasy tale. The word of the game is fantastic it has a feel good fantasy tale atmosphere. Gameplay is familiar with point and click adventure games about millenium. Lewd scenes are kind of long and fantastic I think they are gifs but they look like smooth animations. My only problem is to use left click on mouse because constant clicking is annoying. I would use instead a button on keyboard like little enter or space.

Excellent game, incredible animation and art, and the minigames are not too bad. One thing to note is that it is extremely vanilla, so if that's what you're into, go nuts. Played it again after a year passed and there was a bit more content, definitely worth your time.
