RPGM - Claire's Quest [v0.26.3] [Dystopian Project]

One of the best female protagonist porn games out there. Art is pretty good. The prologue is really good with great tension and it opens in to big maps and whole worlds. While you do lose the tension that makes prologue so great, it feels necessary for the game to grow. Open world is well executed.
Devs are pretty consistent in updates and quality.
Protagonist feels like a blank slate and while Claire's hot, there's nothing to her after that. But you can excuse that with the character stat mechanic. Bugs do poke out once an entire playthroughs in non final versions, so save every half hour to be safe or play the final update of older version.
Another complaint is the lack of pacing for main plot but the game is still in development, so hoping to see more progress in newer updates.

This game is all over the place, once you try to become too much, you become the reason people don't like RPGM.
The maps are way too big and mostly meaningless, meaning you'll need to take copious notes in order to remeber hwre anything is.
The in-game guide is practically worthless and sometimes intentionally misleading. ( see mercenary quest ).
The game was well intentioned at some point but became one of those that gives RPGM a bad name

It kind of pains me to give this a score below 5 for a couple of reasons. The first is that this was one of the first of these kinds of games that I've ever played back when it first came out. The second is that this game has one of my all-time favorite concepts in these kinds of games - that being the 'Defiance' concept.

I know the point of these games is to scavenger hunt for pervy CGs but I've always liked games where you can take the protagonist, navigate the world on her own terms and get stronger, and beat the game with her morals secured, and then in the second playthrough do the degenerate run where I unlock everything. I wish more games had the Defiance system.

That being said, as many others have stated, this game falls off after the prologue. That alone wouldn't warrant a lower score from me, however, it's also extremely buggy as of the current version. The title screen says its the "complete version", which makes me not very hopeful about the game being ironed out completely.

there are two games here:

the prologue where the protagonist is a normal woman constantly being raped and sexually exploited by horny monsters and corrupt men

the rest where the protagonist is a sex addicted hermaphrodite that will fuck anything including bugs, animals, and monsters.

It's a shame because the prologue is serious fun. Dangers lurk behind every corner. The world is being torn apart around us. All that tension, intrigue, and dystopia vanishes the second the prologue ends.

I usually don't like to play RPGM games, purely because of the amount of grind you have to do to achieve something that might not even matter that much, but in this game I didn't feel the "grindyness" that much, even though I played almost all available content in 14 hours. There are lots of quests sure, and you have to go to X person then back to Y city but there are ways around it, firstly there's a sign in almost every place you go where you can basically fast travel, secondly if you are in Rathpike you can get mercenaries to help get you to Z place and thirdly you can use cheats to travel (although there are much less options).

Claire, I personally like her model, curvy enough for my liking and what I really like is that she isn't "afraid" of sex, what I mean is that there are lots of games where the protagonist is like: "oh my god, is that a cock/vagina? Im going to faint, help me" kind of dumb stuff. There are 4 attributes she has and you can avoid stuff based on that, so you can have your own playstyle if you don't like certain stuff in the game.

I feel like your choices definitely do matter, there are lots of quests where multiple stuff can happen based on your previous choices.

The story is great in my opinion, especially for an RPGM game. Plenty of things happen in the background that you don't see and things don't always go in your ways, which is perfectly fine if you want to have a good story.

But there are flaws in this game unfortunately, it feels like the Dev branches out too much, I completed 42 quests and I still have 14 that is active, but you have to wait for more updates to keep doing them. Obviously I don't know what the dev is still planning for future content but maybe it could be better if he focused on 1 or 2 questlines so you can actually finish some so you could feel some accomplishment.
Another one is that in my opinion there are very few CGs per H-scene, maybe that could get improved upon as well.

TL;DR: its a good game with a hot protagonist and a great story that could keep you thinking about whats gonna happen, maybe a bit grindy depends on how much you like RPGMs really. Lots of content but also lots of unfinished questlines.

Good art with many stories with different path. This game really got me addicted to it. If only Patreon have one-time donation, i would gladly donate to the publisher. I can't wait to see more updates! ^-^

This game has soooo much potential, but expanded its content far too broad and the developer is too lazy to finish it. For the parts that are finished, though... The art is fantastic and the events are written very well. Best map I've seen in an H-game

I have conflicting feelings on this one. I decided to give it a chance on a whim seeing as it had the lesbian tag and the description boasted about player choice. I will say most of the H content in this game ISN'T for me. It seems to have a heavy focus on rape. Even if you avoid it yourself it is still a consistent theme that shows up throughout the game. Which is regrettable. But the game is well made enough that I still enjoyed it and even found 4 lesbian scenes to boot. If any fellow lesbians feel like giving this game a shot. Take the difficult path at the beginning, two of them seem locked behind that path. And I imagine those would be continued in future updates. And of course save often, you never know when you might make a choice that drops you in a situation you'd rather avoid. Stella, Charolette, Sally, and Aiyana are the lesbian options I found. Asluag is clearly also a lesbian but no scenes really as of yet other than a kabedon scene that was admittedly pretty cute. [v0.24.2]

Wonderful RPG game. The different lewd situations Claire gets (forced) into are very well made. If you're in the mood for a sexy adventure, than this is definitely worth a try. You have different approaches and stats to build in the game so it even has high replay ability.
A false note worth mentioning though: there are still bugs in the game, due to the fact that the game is still in development. So save often.
The dev has already successfully completed a game prior to this one, so I'm confident we'll see this one reaching completion as well.

Amazing game with a deep story and tons of different scenes. A lot of different kinks and semi-animated scenes to unlock. The only drawback is the lack of real RPG combat or action. It's basically a point and click adventure transferred to RPGM. Great for what it is though.

This is one of the best rpg porn games out there, the amount of content is impressive, the art is correct, the story is good. The sex content is very kinky and diverse, even too extreme for me at times.

Played the last 4 patches of it and it is truly amazing. The artwork and story are well balanced and things do get pretty interesting as you progress. One of the best out there IMO and you can find it on steam early access too. Can't wait for more from the developer. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

New rating, because I want to be fair. The game is good. Just because it's not my thing anymore, doesn't mean it's bad. If I were an old subscriber, I would be pretty mad that a lot changed to seemingly conform to safe standards and patreon guidelines. Old review is below, but the game is at least a 4/5. Maybe even 5/5 especially for an rpgm game. I just wish they had a darker version on their subscribe star or something. Minor gripe, but it could also use some more depth to their combat/exploration like their other game overgrown genesis.

previous review, same opinion still:
There used to be a lot of non-con content - something that, you know, made it feel dystopian. Unfortunately patreon guidelines seem to be ruining this one. Many forced scenes have gone the aphrodesiac induced, brainless cum-addicted slut route to make it seem consensual. There is still plenty of content, but all of it seems to basically be hollowing out. If you want great games in what used to be the same vein as this, check out anything from touhou marupon, or LonaRPG. Dystopian project's completed game overgrown genesis is also pretty decent, as it was done before patreon got to it.

Beautiful animations and I love that there's more to do here compared to Overgrown which I love BTW. It has a ton of improvements and I can't wait to see more. I am excited that the world is larger and has more options.

My favorite submissive game on here. Great art, nice variety on the situations you can end up in, with good dialogue leading there.

Appreciate the no combat approach to an RPGM game. A fair few situations early on that will lead to bad ends, but once you get a bit further into it these have lessened off considerably.

Review for 0.23.3

Short : Really good game with sometimes not so good gameplay mechanics , but still sooooo worth it, so TRY IT !



The really good part :

- The art is beautiful, REALLY
- there is plenty of fetish, slave, rape, bestiality, monster.... , whatever weird fetish you like you can probably find it here
- Music is good, I especially LOVE the one playing in all Valos town, "Empire of the Highlands" ( and the ALT 1 version ) in the BGM folder ( Here is you want to listen it )
I've even taken it to use it as a background music for some D&D games


Now the part that need improvement :
( I will not call it "Bad part" because there is not REAL bad part in the game )

- The hunger and sleep system is really annoying, only here to slow down your progress
it's a RPGM game, no need to slow down thing, the engine does is very well on his own

- Some bug with some game mechanic, like when you use the camping kit with low hunger, it tell you that you need to eat first before going to sleep, but it consume the camping kit anyway

- What I consider to be the worst thing about this game, you have some scenes ( a lot ) hidden behind stats check without us knowing about those stat check
Especially the defiance stat, some scene require you to have defiance UNDER a certain level to have the scene, and it's indicated nowhere except in the walkthrough
For exemple the slime scene won't unlock unless you have 2 or less defiance... why ? that make no sense
Defiance is a too global stat, it's used for when you want to tell someone to "go fuck himself" , this is a good use, but it's also used to check you physical strength to know if you can escape some situation , this is a bad use
If you really want to have a stats check UNDER a certain limit, then add a other stat : "Strength"
it's more logic to have a strength check than a defiance check for when you need to fight something and that wining or loosing depend on this stat

- Also the number of scene that are hidden far under obscure choices is enormous !
you can't play properly without a walkthough, because some stat check make no sense at all
Exemple: if at the beginning of the game you made the mistake to speak bad to someone just one time, you add a defiance point to your stats, and just because of this SINGLE POINT, there is a lot of future scene now inaccessible unless you loose that defiance point ( which is really hard if you don't want to use the cheat system to lose it )

But I think the dev knew all those problem with stats because he put a cheat system build in game to edit your stats when you want
With this cheat system combined with the walkthough, you can't really miss a scene
But for those who don't want to use a walkthough... good luck



The real problem with those stats is that the game is made to be enjoyed from a submissive path with claire
The game let you choose if you want to be a "slut" or not, but if you decide to focus on the sex part, you don't build up the right stat to progress in the game and you will just have a lot of game over

For exemple, you need defiance under a certain limit to have access to a lot of scene, BUT now you can't progress the main story because you have defiance stat too low
And if you choose to max your defiance stat to always succeed the stat check and progress the story, then you can't see 80% of the scenes that ask you to have low defiance stat
So in the end you end up saving every 10 min, trying something with a certain stat to have the scene and then reload , edit the stats and try again to progress the story

So it's not game breaking, far from it, it's still enjoyable, but it could be better



- All the side quest are pretty good, even if sometime it's a little annoying, having to go from place A to place B over and over again, but eh... it's rpg maker.. nothing new here
And in the end, the sex scene reward make it far worth it

But for the "main quest" there is FAR LESS sexual content and the rest of the quest is just boring
The quest with the crazy noble lady for exemple, I just didn't understand why it exist, it serve absolutely no purpose and have no sexual content in it

- The weigh system is really bad, just with all your costumes, you have already taken 1/3 of your max weigh so yes you can store them in a chest , but.... you have to store them in a chest, so.. lot of time lost just walking to the place where the chest is

- I think the inventory system need a total rework, all items are put in the same list no in any particular order and after a few hour of play, when you have full inventory, you have to search a lot to find the thing you want in all this mess

- The mechanic where each time you enter Valos town, it have a chance to rain and you need to escape rapist is... not funny anymore the 2nd time
If only there was a scene variation or new scene or new enemy why not, but it's just the same stuff again and again, and without a option to skip it

So for my conclusion, this game need :

-Better teleport system to navigate though all map without having to each time walk to the boat
-Remove weight system, it's useless
-A real global map could be nice , you have maps in the walkthrough but you don't see where they are connected so it's hard to know where to exit a map to enter a other
-Stats need to be reworked too to avoid making one small decision that can lock you out of literally the entire sexual content of the game !

But don't worry about all those bad part, they are not so bad that you can't enjoy the game

I still enjoyed this game very much

game is okay but the monster scenes always end up being bad ending. this is saying all orcs and goblins and things are ALWAYS bad which is not true! they can be good too!!!! 5* otherwise! i dont like how dirty men that all look the same can be horrible but they don't result in bad ending!!!

When this game came out it was absolutly amazing, but then something happened to their first artist and now the drawings of Claire don't get anywhere near to that old top level. It's a shame because this game could be soooo good but unfortunately the drawings have been completely botched. A once in a lifetime opportunity for such a game to be great completely eradicated.

It's time for me to do my review on Claire Quest (the version I'm going to review is 0.23.3). I'm pretty sure that claire quest is one of the best games on this site and the best h-rpg so far. But there is nothing 100% perfect except God so I will say the pros, cons, suggestion and close with the conclusion.

PROS:
- Character art is extremely well done.
- the story, both the main and side quests are excellent.
- the difficulty is not high, anyone can play this.
- multiple routes to follow.
- although the game is simple, it has a complexity in claire's personality (currently has 4) and in her physical situation (drunk, pregnant, sick or tired).
- various fetish, so basically you'll find yours here.
- large amount of content.

CONS:
- updates are quite time consuming and don't always come with a good load of content. I know that the claire quest developers have another game, but this game that they continue to support is already finished so the focus should be on claire quest and not the one already completed.
- few repeated scenes, if you don't like the gallery to review the scenes then this can be a negative point.
- a lot of content but almost all of them are open and with no forecast to close, that is, many quests are incomplete.

suggestion:
-add more repetitive scenes. Gallery isn't something that bothers people that much but the fact that claire quest is a sandbox/freeroam and has few repetitive scenes is something annoying and besides, most of the aggressive encounters lead claire to a bad ending and with that you can only see that scene once and then only in the gallery.
- focus more on an island or area and then move on to others, so you finish a piece of content and don't leave them accumulating as they are now.

conclusion:
- Claire quest is an excellent game for those who like sandbox/freeroam where your choices matter the course of your heroine and the flaws of this game go unnoticed due to the positive things that this game has.

Claire's Quest [v0.22.5] is an excellent adult game. I divided my review into 3 parts: amazing things about this game (+), worring aspects which are not affecting current version much (-), and my personal opinion ( P.S.)
+
1)Players have at list two ways to complite quests: subbmissive, but usually peaceful (not for Claire), and sexualy pure, but more cruel (not for Claire).
2)All games mechanics are simple, working and imersive
3)Despite other reviews 80% of not gameover sex scens are consentual, also game choises philosophy makes other 20% close to being consentual, cause Claire becames stronger/smarter if you are not currupting her, thus rape scens won't occure.
4) Gamedesine, artstile of CGI and charecters are perfectly fiting togever.
-
1) Balance of MFC stats (which are both personality and skills stats) is the most worring thing. At this moment most of CGI situation play out differently according to 4 stats (defiance,intrigue, depravity and seduction), player can increase them for money, and unfortunatly this can breack immersion.
2)Game is not close to final stage of production
P.S.
Currently this is the best female MC corruption, monster game, which has decent amount of h content and imersive quests.
