RPGM - Completed - BreedTown 3 [Early Access] [Thatcombatwombat]

Summary:
Guess whos back. Back again. Not Brandon Reed, that’s for sure. At least not directly. ThatCombatWombat did a twist on the established formula and put the reader in the shoes of Rosine Chantagne, a detective trying to catch and bring Brandon Reed to justice for his reckless breeding practices. A colleague of Rosines hands over his case knowing it relates to Brandon, who Rosine considers her sworn enemy, her nemesis. She goes to an office building that for all intents and purposes is hermetically sealed. The office in question is the latest site of a “breedtown”, or Mass Impregnation Event. Rosine goes about her day by doing classic detective work, interviewing mostly the victims themselves, which is how the lewd scenes are “earned” this time around. Additionally, finding physical evidence to help her case in various ways. At some point you gain the power to arrest suspected people and thus complete Breedtown 3. This time however, there’s a specific true ending to be had. Getting it isn’t exactly easy or fast, but it feels earned when you get it. That should be fine for a summary, without spoiling anything.

Pros: The "Pregnancy achieved" screens are definitely a big upgrade of an otherwise small feature. A good example of getting the most out of your chosen niche (breeding/impregnation) with a short simple animation.
- The storytelling is not as silly this time around. The lore is explored more extensively and most characters get way more development than in BT 1 and 2.
- Speaking of character development, the random comments and dialogues Nero gets when examining objects is a good way to explore the characters in a natural way. Like, Ellie when she comments on the style of her steel chair.
- Using a mirror to see the face of a breeding victim when she was otherwise facing away from the camera was a smart creative choice.
- The girls blushing at the climax is a nice touch as well. And their faces don’t twist into full blown ugly ahegaos, but instead clearly visible signs of pleasure.
- The world, in this case the rooms and floors of the office building, seems more well crafted than in the previous title. Less empty wasted space. Fitting use of art assets. Brighter environments and more colors.
- The detective gameplay was nice. I really liked the midpoint summary Nero presented to us. Making gameplay and story intertwine.
- Lots of funny text bits. Sometimes silly. Sometimes just absurd ramblings, like the police chief at the very end, talking about how insanely hot he felt.
- Like BT 1 and 2, the girls generally look great and there’s decent variety in their aesthetic appeal.

Mehs and hit/miss: Animations are kinda smooth, but maybe a bit lacking in the looping. It looks like the models move between 2 fixed positions. Framerates could be higher as well, but this is a bit nitpicky.
- Models can also have slightly jagged edges and outlines during animations.
- Difference in quality between scenes? I noted this early on, but looking back at it, not really significant. Some positions and characters are hotter than others, but this is arguably a subjective thing.
- Nero’s abortion is a touchy subject it seems. I personally didn’t mind it too much. It may be a turn-off to some, but it is placed at the very end. Also, I think it fits her character and is used as the perfect foil to Brandons power. I mean, some of the more negative outcomes for the BT1 and 2 girls were just as much of a turn-off to me personally. But not too much.

Cons: Cons? Hmmm. Well, the price paid for the introduction of animations were a significantly smaller cast of characters. The 2 “bonus” scenes were a good way to increase content amount without having to set up entirely new characters, finding art assets and so on. Still a clear con, but a minor one.
- The lore and worldbuilding ended up a little bit to dystopic for my tastes. And maybe a little bit mismatched with the otherwise porny and silly set-up we are dealing with.

Not like that many other players who maybe only wish to gain pure flesh thrills through games, I really appreciate this ending, making it surprisingly deep and special. Somehow, perhaps it's not right, there is a sense of attitude that could be felt from this female protagonist Nero that this world is still a normal world ruled by laws instead of a hilarious fabricated one led by a superpower harasser.

I liked this project much less than the previous games in the series.

The first part was an ordinary representative of the Fuckathon genre. The second part turned out to be much larger than the first, there was a sense of scale in it. And it was still a representative of the Fuckathon genre.

The third part switched to the detective genre and, what is most sad, changed the protagonist. The third part as a whole feels smaller and more local. It's like a step back.

It is typical for the Fuckathon genre that the player associates himself with the main character who is trying to "sleep" with everything that moves. You achieve the goal and receive a reward.

In this case, the sex scenes are revealed through investigation. Side characters talk about their experiences. This is kind of reminiscent of the netorare genre.

The scenes and characters themselves are relatively OK.

Meh it´s okay, but I was pretty dissapointed.

The story is boring and the mystery isn´t that interesting either, it wasn´t badly told or anything but I was far more interested in the sex scenes than the story like the previous two games, but sadly the sex scenes takes a massive backseat.

The characters are good enough but Nero is kinda boring and the others aren´t that good this time either. But the models still look good.

The sex scenes are still pretty great and this time have animations, which look pretty good it feels like a lot of effort went into them, which might explain ehy there aren´t that many this time.

The map is sadly pretty boring a skyscaper offic building isn´t nearly as interesting as a small town or a red light district.



But if you liked the previous two you will probably like this one too, I am still excited to see what comes next even if I was dissapointed.

This is a huge divergence from the Breedtown series as usual. Gameplay is a major step forward - a fully developed mystery instead of a bunch of meaningless fetch quests. Tone wise it's a step back (at least for me), with the characters steeped in the despondence of cruelty and injustice. If hearing about how women's lives are ruined was something you only tolerated, you'll find this game considerably less sexy than its predecssors. If you don't care, or especially if you love the idea of getting to solve a mystery, play this game right away.

Lets start by talking about the major shift in tone that comes with the shift away from Brandon Reed as our playable character. We are now Inspector Nero who is tasked with following up after Brandon's latest Mass Impregnation Event as she interviews witnesses, goes on mini-quests, and tries to balance locating a whistleblower with her true goal of tracking down Reed himself. Unlike the previous titles where the plot skips town when the bastard father does, we start as the women are just coming to grips with their new reality. As such it's easy to put ourselves in the main character's place, particularly when her dissection and criticisms of Reed's misdeeds are absolutely on point. Now that you mention it, consent to have sex and consent to be impregnated are very different things, especially when the victim is convinced it's a roleplay exercise and their partner has in no way warned them of their magic ability. Quite a shift from the gleefull impregnator to the shattered lives he leaves behind.

The attitudes and circumstances of the women of the Breedtown series have always ran the gamut. Some women go into their sexual encounters with full understanding and consent, while others are lied to, coerced, kidnapped, and raped. The player is given an epilogue for each woman where it's made clear that some gladly welcomed and thrived under their new responsibilities, and others had their lives destroyed by the uncaring protagonist. It always seemed to me a bit strange to include the latter in a sex game.

Sex games are fun when they're light and sexy. I personally find nothing light or sexy about lying to, coercing, kidnapping, or raping women, or hearing about how their lives have been destroyed by an unfortunate encounter with a magical rapist. The scenes I love from this series are the ones where the women beg to be bred. There are typically a high enough ratio of the latter to the former that I can get off, and I can always skip past the scenes that I find personally distasteful before moving on to the next. I can ignore the harsh reality of the day after, because for the player there is no day after, and hey - it is just a game.

This whole game is the harsh reality of the day after. We meet these women as they try to come to grips with their lives as they know them being over, now in such dire financial straits there's little hope of a decent future. They are in the midst of being metaphorically fucked by a company that not only fires its women for getting pregnant, it issues them steep fines. Those foolish enough to seek understanding and compassion from their fellows are met with at best indifference, at worst outright hostility. One woman can't bring herself to have an abortion, even though she knows she'll lose her work Visa and have to return to a country that will most likely execute her for her "crimes". What's fun or sexy about any of that?

Some of these issues may be mitigated by the game's epilogues, which may even change based on the choices the player makes. Most players will find they won't have the time or inclination to play through the entire game again to find out, and it's largely irrelevant when the tone is so bleak for the game's vast majority. The player should not hold out hope their investigation will bring these issues to light, nor the system to justice. Neither of the twin major injustices of coerced/forced impregnation or economic destitution are addressed by the game's end.

Here's the thing, though: This was already there in the other games. Brandon's always been a bastard that does shit because it feels good. The consequences have never hurt him, always hurt the women, only now it's all front and center instead of in the background. I've given him my consent because I keep playing the games, so who's the real bastard here?

Gameplay wise, the game is a complete shift as well, this time in a great direction. The predecssors were Scene Collectors - little more than lists of activites to check off so you could get to the good stuff. Play them with an open walkthrough and you not only lose nothing from the experience, but you cut through a lot of bullshit. If you decide to give this one a try, do yourself a huge favor: Spoil as little as possible.

The game is a very good mystery, better than most non-erotic games that try to be great mysteries. I was excited to take notes with timelines of activities, a list of loose ends, relevant bits of information, and an ever changing To-Do list as each interview and discovery added another piece to the puzzle, or peeled back another layer of the mystery. Toward the end I was racking my brains to figure out which of the clues were most significant, which of the suspects eliminated from contention. The player can decide to choose to end the game far before they've seen everything it has to offer by arresting whomever they see fit. Rather than a cop-out this feels like a gentle dare. "Oh, come on... You're not gonna give up already, are you?"

The sex scenes feel very different. There are less scenes in this game than in the previous two and they happen at a slower rate, so if you're looking for a quick fap, look elsewhere. They now feature some simple animations, which is a change I personally appreciate, and they didn't get rid of the great dialogue. The main difference is before they felt like the reward for completing a fetch quest, the only enjoyment after slogging through what passed for gameplay. The gameplay's been elevated - the scenes now happen in the middle of an interesting puzzle. Before they were the appetizers and sides thrown together to take the place of a Main Course. Now they are the sides and appetizers to a delicious main course, made no worse except by comparison.

I find myself rewatching favorite scenes from Breedtowns 1 & 2, and I expect I won't be doing that for this one. On the contrary, I wouldn't want to play another Scene Collector like 1 or 2, but I'd love to play another in this vein. The artist is teasing that they'll grace us with a sequel, and if they manage to blend the gameplay of this game with the lighter tone and sexiness of the first two, it'll be an outstanding piece. This is a great piece that fans of mysteries and puzzles will definitely enjoy, just don't expect it to get you off as much as its predecessors.

This game is really impressive, all the female characters are interesting and well-developed. The storyline grabs your attention and keeps you engaged throughout. What stands out most, however, is the quality of the dialogue. It's clear the dev spent a lot of effort into crafting conversations that feel real and authentic. The animation isn't the best but good enough. Overall, this is a great game that's well worth your time, especially if you appreciate detective mystery games and well-written characters.


PS: Despite consistently producing high-quality games, this developer has surprisingly few patrons on Patreon. I've just become a subscriber to show my support.

The game is deserving of 5 stars; "Excellent" is the only way to describe it.

This game reminds me of other game series that start off with one or two games that ease you into it, and then around the second to third game once the developer is a bit more accostumed to what they're doing and confident of it, they scale things to start creating an actual game series. It may sound a bit overly grand for an indie RPGM hentai game, but it's nonetheless true; by now, BreedTown has an actual storyline, decent worldbuilding, recurring characters from other games that are not just the protagonist, et cetera.

This game was enjoyable from start to finish. It hits several good spots; the music is serviceable to good, always, and fits the ambience well, the scenes are great, the interaction with the environment is incredible as nearly everything can be interacted and spoken to; most NPCs are used very well with very few being actually legitimately forgetful, and the map isn't overly large (albeit some floors definitely felt more useless than others). The dialogue isn't grating and is easy to read, and is filled with several colors and font size changes that help make the game feel more alive and give a lot more flavor to the dialogue itself. There's enough decent humor to go around, but there are also points of the game where I was surprised at how it made me tense even if only for a bit. Honestly, the dialogue is probably the highlight of this game; there are several different personalities being displayed and the game definitely calls into question the morality of the breeding kink in general, as well as of course the actions of Brandon Reed, which actually makes this worth reading in a way that isn't just an endless string of horny impregnation fetish scenes.

The endings were all very interesting to read through, even if they're bad ends; all different arrests are interesting to read through, and the entire detective/arrest situation was very interesting to play as. Not only that, but the game actually sets us up for BreedTown 4, by leaving the goals of the detective protagonist open, explicit, and unfulfilled.

All in all, this was great. This game has upgraded BreedTown from just a couple one-off hentai games to an actual series that I'll be looking forward to any other new games of.

This is my 2024 GOTY. BreedTown 3 has an engrossing combination of impregnation-heavy sex scenes, hard-boiled noir detective work, hilarious dialogue and descriptions, and thoughtful attention to detail (seriously, you can interact with almost everything in every room, and it will often give you different responses based on where you are in the game). The animations are well-done and sexy, and the music is full of bangers.

Be forewarned that this is not _just_ porny or lighthearted. There are some serious and sometimes grim topics brought up, sometimes sexy, sometimes very realistic, but very well-done overall.

I scream with excitement for the next installment.

TCW comes out with another absolute BANGER. Just gets better and better with every Breedtown entry.

Brandon is indeed, one of the greatest protagonists in gaming period. Even if we don't play him for 99% of the game in this one. Just playing through the aftermath is fucking hilarious.

As a summary, you're effectively playing a detective deducing a Breedtown event after its occurred, story's got pretty solid twists and turns. Scenes have gotten even hotter compared to the previous games due to the addition of stellar animations.

100/10. Leaves my hyped for BT4. Ain't nothing more to say. Play it.

P.S. If you feel bad for any woman in any of these games, be the dad that steps up.

P.S.S. If anyone asks you ARE YOU HAPPY? Respond with I SCREAM.

Oh hell yeah, Breed Town 3 is finally finished!

Once again, the writing often got a chuckle out of me and the designs of the ladies as well as the sex scenes were hot. Excellent work!

I admit, it felt a little odd not to be in Reed's shoes for this one. But I must admit, the detective angle was a lot of fun. Except for the parts in the dark where I was genuinely spooked for a bit.

Can't wait for Breed Town 4!
