RPGM - Completed - Ceres and the Contract Guild [v1.1] [StudioNAZE]

Great game if you want to have a chill time and just explore H-Scenes. Battle system is kinda bad but you can skip them once you lose. It's very linear and fast paced corruption so if you want a slow burn this game is not for you. It is just a basic scene collector but the scenes are done very well.

It's a good game with a weird but welcomed plot twists. The gameplay is just doing quest and some combat (although there is a skip button). I do find the combat to be different than normal RPGM games which makes it more fun in my opinion. The art style is great. I recommend this game if you're looking for a quick fun.

Great walking gallery unlocker. Gamaplay is almost non-existant and even that can be skipped. But art is great and scenes are good.

I just wish there was an option to remove all the status text because it fills the screen and gallery to have CGs, not only scenes where you have to walk around and stuff. It's not even just scenes.

4/5 for the lack of those options plus bunch of scenes weren't my thing. Otherwise, great fap material.

Completely Linear with a VERY barebones/poor story and a extremely basic combat system (Honestly, this criminally underutilizes its RPGM engine/build and is just a bad game... this could have been acomplished with a 10th the slog in Unity/as a VN)

Finally, you have basically No say in what you watch (So if you don't like one type of the numerous sex content types in the listings... Tough Shit your watching anyway*)

*I straightup started to just control skip as I got sick of the railroading...

All in all a near complete waste of time

Story/Characters: 5/5
The story overall is meh, the entire story can be summed up by the description provided. What makes me love it though is the personality of the MC and her design. Very confident, attractive, smug mage. Thats what makes the scenes great for me to be honest. A personality I prefer than a generic H game MC wherein they lack personality, which the types of Ceres are rare.

Gameplay: 3/5
Combat is meh. Thats about it.

Art/ H scenes: 5/5
Awesome, I love it. The situations the MC is being put on is simple but the execution is great.

Conclusion: 4/5
Overall, I had a great time with some flaws of course. Many might disagree seeing the ratings but I played so many H games so much and so long to the point that finding a masterpiece is a fruitless endeavor and just based my ratings to enjoyment anyway.

However, while this is no Masterpiece, it definitely gave me an enjoyment that I wouldn't forget anytime soon.

Thats barely a game...
Its more like go there do that then go there do that...

As always at first i wanted to explore and skip story but no... in this game its completly impossible... its very short and barely a game...

drinking cum was like... pointless... scene made rly bad
and tickling chair scene is simply waste of time

only 2 good scenes is when she get fucked by ogres but this quest is kinda pointless as You can just click 1 button to skip fight... and well its better if You skip because You have to face in line ur enemy and use ur fire to damage him... but every time u stand in line to enemy to prepare attack he is charging on You... i hitted one of them like 3 or 4 times and well... there is no health bar so i guess You can't even kill them?...

This was truly a disappointing experience. Why? Let me shed light. This isn't your typical RPGM game; you can't make any decisions, like at all. It is exceedingly restrictive, the contrived story and poor writing are merely conveyor belts to the next H scene. It's a terrible kinetic novel, built in a game engine with RPG in the name. There isn't a game here, which is unfortunate because the combat at least tried to do something somewhat different from other RPGM games. Granted, it sucks so bad you're given a skip option after losing once, but it is different.

This is supposed to be a porn-game. If there's no game, how's the porn? Well, it's almost entirely your standard fare, a bunch of vanilla vaginal sex and groping. Doggy style was apparently too big an ask. No anal, one blowjob. It's especially frustrating because the MC's curse is an okay premise: receiving gratitude makes her cum. Fuck, actually, that's a great idea, why not do this same setting and story, but make it freeform where the only rule is people have to thank her after she "helps" them. Money makes the gratitude bigger, but you could do cum gifting/payment instead that classical conditions into a cum addiction or something. Make her continue to be able to do rather wholesome things only to cum her brains out for being thanked, and have it be an actual scene rather than dialogue. Porn needs to have a larger visual impact; why not allow the player to make the MC exhib over time or something for more gratitude, or have a leaky pussy, creampies, or cumshots apply to the character model. It's clear that the curse applies to non-humans as well, why not leverage that to diversify the content? Just such a boring and same-y slog. The one and only positive thing I can really say is that simply because of its decent art and basic style, you can fap to it. Is that really the bar though? Don't waste your time with this.

Comments
This was pretty meh StudioNAZE game… While Sonia In Hypnotic City is my fav studionaze game so far, Primeras & Rubias games were also fairly okay. This time around I feel like scenes were simply rehashed in more boring manner whilst hypnosis detail focus was still neat. 2 branching endings, that you can get both, fair number of scenes with solid art and fairly kinky scenes. But overall, I felt bored of this game…. Hopefully next game will be better.
Total Score: 5/10
Game status:
✅ Finished

Very nice exhibitionism and gradual build-up of acts.
It's not an RPG per say, and has limited interactivity true, but the art is good, story is decent and graphics are pretty.
For what its worth it's pretty good for a StudioNAZE product.

What can I say that has not already been said?
It was okay, I guess. If even the art was bad this would get a 1, but at the very least I could enjoy something here.
Game was short, gameplay irrelevant, and the choices were stupid (Choosing to be a whore is the good end, really game?), but at least it was trying to be something, which is more than I can say about other games.
Game has an unlock all in rec room so if you really want, you can get passed a full save if you want to skip the 45-65 minutes it takes to hold skip through the game anyways.
In conclusion: Mediocre, but not offensive. Just grab a save to save the half an hour

While linear, this game has great scenes showing the gradual corruption of the MC. The fights are shit BUT losing to them gives you a scene + you can skip them on subsequent attempts.
I wish contracts were used more as the concept has potential.

In the end, the game doesn't need to be more than a glorified VN, and if you like hypnosis and common sense alteration, then you should try playing it.

It's too linear, there is basically no reason for you to be sending any inputs to the "game" at this point. There is no place for decision making in this game.

The translation seems to be really good though, or at least I didn't spot any problems.

Eh,
This is very linear. I mean cool stats that don't mean anything. at least the graphics are cool. But as an RPG this sucks, I mean the fighting wasn't very fair. Don't like too hard battles. Regardless, a slideshow that shows all scenes would have been basically the same experience.

Good translation but bad game.
All content is poorly implemented including female protagonist which only exist as excuse to rail content in - as it would be harder to implement it with male protagonist.

Pretty much walking simulator with 2 branched endings.

game was straight forward easy to play and is just sex scenes real quick as story progresses without any farming required
scenes are easy to you most likely won't miss any, and if you do at most it's one or 2, at end game theirs an option to unlock all of them if you missed any, game can be finished within an hour

This is closer to a visual novel in RPGM than it is to an actual game. It is there is complete linear progression for all of your decisions until near the end where you can basically choose between 1 of 2 endings. There is "combat", but you just get a scene when you lose and then you are immediately allowed to skip the fight. There also a bunch of unused systems in the game. You get gold through the game and have no option to use it. There are potions that you get as rewards that are useless since you can skip combat. You can level up your sensitivity which plays no part except for increasing a number. So many part of this just seems needlessly added when it could have just as easily been a visual novel. As long as you are viewing this a a visual novel, it is pretty good. As long as you enjoy the art and the premise, it should be enjoyable.
