When I first entered the world of Erogames, I never saw anything really jump out and was quickly bored after rubbing the duck to the same boring vanilla tropes. That was, until I came across this absolute gem, albeit diamond in the rough. No overkill of vanilla tropes, lots of variation and different things you could do, even at its' early stages. I'll rate this using my F.A.R.T method:
Fappability: 10/10: The taboo genres combined with the dark corruption-esque vibes makes you realize that you might like more than you initially think. From innocently touching butts to straight up ravishing holes, this game offers all types of scenes and busts to enjoy, which leads me to the next rating.
Art: 9.5/10: This game is made by one man. But the art displayed in the version I am currently playing (0.15.2), makes you feel like you're basking in the creation of an entire team of artists. Each girl (unlike in many, many other erogames) is different to the point where their distinctions make you remember them. The same counts for the Main Character. Unfortunately, I remember him and the eldest Sister in a more negative manner: Their faces did not fit to my liking, which is more of a personal taste, hence the slightly lower rating compared to the previous one.
Replayability: 10/10: In usual vanilla erogames, you get a couple different endings, with one path per ending. In Bones' Tales: The Manor, the developer has incorporated an interesting mechanic. Instead of having paths used as endings, they're used as a way to give basketfulls of variations to scenes in the game. The paths can be seen as behavioural states, with each girl (Who has their own specific personality type in the game) getting different aspects of their personality based on critical choices. This makes the game much more entertaining and interesting, as a state can change even the slightest detail in a scene or dialogue.
Total score: 9/10: This game, as previously stated, is a diamond in the rough. It has great potential and opens up the door the door to a new milestone of RPGM-based games. The music, sound and art design is surely an accomplishment most erogame devs would dream of. But, the only thing keeping the rating from being a full 5 stars (10/10) is the fact that some art could use a touch-up, or rather, a face-lift.
