A game which falls short because of the typical Japanese idea of female domination: to have women service the penis through handjobs, fellatio, and paizuri, accompanied by archaic verbal humiliation such as "Fufu, you lost to a girl!" You mean, a character with no real combat training, who is fighting powerful witches who have been trained to wield magic, lost to a girl? Well, no shit.
There rarely exists a woman in Japanese H-games which insists and demands the male submissive pleasure her instead. 62studio games are similar in that it's literally nothing but succubi giving men boob jobs. Where's the vaginal or anal rape? The cunnilingus? I've never met a woman who did not like for a man to go down on her, and especially the more sadistic or domineering of women would prefer that sexual activity to occur more often than not. But yet, we never get to see that in games like this.
It's such a bore to find a potentially great femdom game for once (that is also in English) only to see that it has been ruined by a very specific type of culture that does not understand women and wants to be solely male focused. Surely, I am not the only submissive male who prefers to service rather than be served? It goes against the nature and the entire power dynamic of a female-led relationship for it to be all about him and his desires. Boring.
This receives an average rating because it is truly nothing special and is another rushed product that is ~60 minutes long to try and take advantage of a market of men who desperately want more femdom games that they are willing to buy anything which advertises itself as such. I liked the artwork, and the women are attractive, but what eroticism we see is boring and bland.
I am grateful that this game has a good translation, which is something else that is uncommon with Japanese games, but the 'game over' scenes are pointlessly short and consist of nothing but foreplay. Anything beyond a blowjob is implied to happen, since the witches in this game are determined to capture the MC and eventually absorb his soul, but I want to see actual sex when defeated. Starting with foreplay is fine, but the least developer(s) of games like this can do is expand upon the CG by adding a different scene.
This game almost received a poor rating, because it's one of those games where you are forced into combat scenarios with generic mobs every few tiles you advance. This means that a game that is already short without all that fluff is tediously made longer when it doesn't need to be. You can find yourself in 5+ random battles when trying to make it to the next map, that I just groaned and used a cheat menu plugin to just insta-kill everything to speed up the game.
You have to level up your character (and whichever companion you may choose to accompany you, if any) manually using souls you collect from the sparkles on the ground or from defeating those random mobs. I don't very much see the point in this, I think the developer(s) were trying to make it more interactive and unique but it's not like you can manually choose which attributes you want to level up like in other RPGs, so the system might as well have just stayed the default as is with many other RPGMaker games, where your character automatically levels up over time. It just forces you to press an extra two buttons and the decision is overall, pointless. There's no real complexity to it.
Rant over, I do like the witches you come across in the game. There's some actual development of their personalities over time, where at first, they are determined to enslave you as per the rules of their society, but as you allow them to travel with you, they begin to realize that perhaps they were wrong to act so hostile and aggressive. None of them are inherently evil like you would find in other femdom games and overall, they seem upbeat and happy even in their defeat. Each witch whose soul you can capture, has her own special talents and characteristics. One witch specializes in healing, another specializes in high damage, single targeting while another focuses on AOE abilities, etc. Depending on your playstyle, or the situation, you can choose a witch for a certain purpose. I just kept the same witch companion throughout the game, though, as I didn't find it overly difficult to have needed to be strategic with my selections. Plus, I had cheats to just fully heal myself regardless. I basically only lost when I wanted to.
The plot of the game is to find and destroy four barriers which is preventing the MC from going back home to his own dimension/universe. Yes, it's another one of those "you were mysteriously teleported to who knows where" games. But an overused story doesn't always matter too much so long as the story can be saved by the CG. That's not really the case here, sadly. Because of the aforementioned issue with there being far too much foreplay and just not enough CG in general. If you are only in it for the CG then you might as well just download a full save from this website or just go to another website like Hitoma.la and search for this game. There's very little CG to actually enjoy to make it worth playing through the game. Dialogue is important for some people as well but the dialogue which is paired with the CG is often lackluster and predictable. My favorite character was probably the 'pirate queen' because her victory dialogue implied that she was going to permanently keep the MC as her newest 'dog' . . . but of course, it was being delivered while she was just giving him a boob job, as if we hadn't already seen that with other characters prior and even afterwards.
You'll slowly trudge through three or four maps in each area before discovering the magical circle you need to destroy, and then it'll unlock a new area with a new witch to fight. And I say trudge because of your being thrusted into random battle situations. That is easily the worst part of this game.
Overall, it was barely just a decent game. The team which made it needs to improve any future titles with more features and ideas.
