Ren'Py - Black Incense [Prologue] [Himeros Studios]

This game is already on the way to become one of my favorites. The writing is great, you can lose yourself in this story. There is barely anything in the prologue that has to do with occult stuff but I found myself always having the intro in the back of my mind, anticipating what is coming. The choices and customization feel satisfying.

The only negatives here are quirks of the AI art (grotesque hands, some wacky faces, ...) and the limited music (though the music is still well chosen).

What a fantastic start to the game! This definitely reminds me a bit of Eva Kiss' work which I really love, and the setting looks like it could be really awesome. Himeros definitely is setting a high ambition but from what is out so far one of the most promising games in a long time, I will 100% subscribe for updates

I like the RPG mechanics, the skill checks, the overall theme.
The music is acceptable, though limited.
The writing isn't bad.
Some of the AI art looks unnatural and weird.

The game promotes a promiscuous lifestyle, which I find disgusting in real life as I do in games. That's just my taste. If one likes to play a character in a throwaway society, traveling the world to gather "experience" and "finding themselves", or the notion that losing one's virginity as early as possible is an achievement, this game is for them. Since that doesn't seem to be avoidable in the game.

I just prefer RPGs where relationships between characters are a central element, where they have value and matter long term.

Because it depends on the taste, and otherwise isn't too bad, I give the game an average rating.

The AI generated art is absolutely horrible and downright creepy, look at the mouths and eyes. The unavoidable sex scenes ruin this game for me that touts such customization. The story is hot garbage as well.

Good good lesbian scene and am very excited to cuck the boyfriend I hope in future updates? Lots of good art and good writing and also the music was very good as well. Well done dev keep it up thank you for the good game

God damn this is a pretty massive prologue. Hope the dev can keep it up but had a lot of fun playing this several times through. Hoping for even more lesbian content as well in the next release. But defo going to watch this one
