RPGM - Claire's Quest [v0.27.2] [Dystopian Project]

If you like RPGM games you are going to like this one,
it's as simple as that.

Story is great, gameplay is ,well, RPGM,
2DCG are great, there's a bit of reflection here and there, your actions have an influence on the story,

Was going to rate it 4/5 hen i hate a Mushroom, it turned into a 5/5

Claire's quest is a game with biazrro levels of production value, knocking many other RPGmaker games out of the park. It looks good, it has some hang ups in terms of playing and has pretty solid writing, even if the various NPCs can get pretty "Welcome to Corneia!" at times.

It is not a typical RPG game, though. While the character does have stats which determine various flags for scenes and scenarios, you aren't fighting goblins etc etc at all, it's more back and forth chatting. Little "meat" to the gameplay if that's a concern, but on the flipside it does mean everything happening is actually to a purpose instead of random trash mobs.

The English is good and actually well-worked on, which a lot more then could be said for many projects. The main issue I have with the game, personally, is that it's a lot of RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE. If you're into that whatever, but it got rather tiring. Not all of the content in the game is nonconsensual, just if Claire isn't defiant enough (a stat which I found rather difficult to raise through non-cheat functions) she'll be helpless on her back a fair bit. Also there's like three or four questlines of her being enslaved for a bit.

Beyond that, the biggest downside I have is that because the game is a work in progress, of course, there are a few deadends here and there and points that really ought to be gated off as they're simply not ready. Which are obvious and annoying as opposed to "heck I'm trapped in this dev space."

One of the few RPGMaker games that doesn't rely on the shitty default battle system for gameplay instead provividng meaningful choices to progress the story. Variety of scenes and high quality art are also of note.

One of the better RPGM games. The artwork and scenes are very well illustrated, the world building is surprisingly good, and there are no noticeable bugs or typos in dialogue. This game doesn't stray too far from the general formula of a female protagonist on a grand adventure who slowly gets corrupted, but it is executed well. The submenus, gallery, and particularly the quest log are implemented in a stylish and effective manner, with a little more quality than I'm used to seeing in an RPGM game. Worth a few hours playtime.

I'm glad to see more RPG maker porn games coming along and this one comes with actual player choice without annoying requirements. Dystopian Project is quickly becoming one of my favorite development teams.

Great game lots of options for multiple playthrough, the story is also quite good. I personally love the artstyle for the scenes and there is quite a few of them. The game is also updated frequently with new content making it fun to comeback and see what's been implemented. 5/5 !

The first ever RPGM game that actually speaks to the RPG player in me. Very nice CGs, cool skill levelling, amazing story.

I can't wait for this game to be completed in a couple of years and a walkthrough/walkthrough mod being released. I've tried every aspect and can't say anything bad about it, the unfinished quests and teases are no reason to take off score. Amazing RPGM game, probably the only good one.

There's not exactly an overwhelming amount of content yet, but that's as far as my complaints go.

Edit: When I say there's not a ton of content, I should clarify that I mean the story doesn't progress that far, but there are many ways in which you can approach different situations, so there is quite a bit of content for those of you that enjoy replaying a game to see all paths/options.

The writing is organic and far above average.
The story is well thought out and interesting enough.
The art is pretty and the characters mostly attractive.
A quest journal is very much appreciated.
The corruption of Claire is somewhat quick, but also not done in a way in which you think it's ludicrous. Not to mention, you can choose to be more defiant (though, I never do, which is really my problem).

I don't plan on returning for quite a while because I don't like to play one update at a time, but I'm so excited for the future of this game.

I rarely do review games on this website, but for this, i just had to do it. This game has it all dude! I barely made it out of the prologue and it has tons of routes, tons of CG, tons of fetishes. I am amazed how well they integrated the RPG element into the game. It doesn't feel like a chore, unlike a lot of other RPGM games, it flows and make you excited about what it's coming next. The next element that mixes really well with the RPG elements, is the story, and believe me, there is a lot of it. The next things that mix well into this already well established broth of goodness are the choices. And they REALLY do matter. There are 4-5 different ways out of the prologue alone, and on top of that every different route leads to a different situation, that the MC gets herself in, i.e it's not one of those fake choices where no matter what you choose, you end up in the same situation, after the choice. And finally, the CG, to top it all off. What is there to say about em? You have to be blind not to appreciate the uniqueness of it. The only thing that id like to see is some animations, but lets not be greedy here. This review is coming from a guy, who despises RPGM games, as they are usually clunky, grindy and anti-fappable. But this right here is an example of a quality product, no matter the engine it was made on. The work and effort put into it is visible and i am giving this a full 5/5 score. Cheers!

The art style is unique and some of my favorite one of any game. It is at least a good change from all the 3D games.
The gameplay is also to be commended as the RPG does play a role and is not an annoyance.
And the variety of events also keep things interesting. Hopefully there will be more added soon and not just stop at overhauling the existing ones.
A lot of bugs for now but overall I like the direction and it will be better than the original in the end.
Well worth playing.

omg, this game! It has everything. I love the way you're able to get by with different tactics.

There are so many fetishes, so much to do already. High replayability as well due to different available routes.

Oveall: Nice game, i like such an open world rpgs. Stunning art, and dicision making. Sexy main hero. Main ingridient of this game and why it gains from me 5 stars is story. In this cruel world where you play that pity girl very hard to survive. Using every possibility to survive and progress story is just very rare in gamedev. Nothing to say about audio.
