RPGM - Claire's Quest [v0.27.3] [Dystopian Project]

One of the best RPGM games, a gigantic open world, an innovative gameplay style, lots of content and lots of sex scenes.

POSITIVE POINTS:
STORY: It tells the story of a girl named Claire (FMC) who has her place attacked by green pigs and ends up separating from her mother and running away. Claire then begins to explore the world around her, doing tasks, making allies and surviving.

PERSONALITY: Claire's personality can be shaped by the player, you can make her stronger and tougher, you can make her more calculating and seductive or you can make her a complete depraved slut.

GAMEPLAY: The gameplay seemed terrible at first, after all, Claire is not a fighter, there is no combat system, but you will enjoy exploring the places, collecting items, and unlocking sex scenes and it is not linear, you can choose your path.

SETTING: The setting of this game is incredible, well-made and has its own charm, especially in the forest areas.

SEX SCENES: The scenes in this game are on another level, especially if Claire's personality is depraved. I dare say that the scenes are the best among all pornographic games.

It is one of the best RPGM games I have ever played, I highly recommend it!

I like the this approach without fighting in rpgm games. The plot for dark fantasy setting is good, art is fantastic. World filled with references, systemized information, great work! Ive benn played 50+ hours on my first run and it was fantastic, cannot wait when game will be released.

A very good game, the advertisement deliver your many of your choices affects the route and story, the game's not finished yet but there are already a lot of content that can keep you for some hours.
The thing i dont like is just my bias, in this game most of the corruption not really forced to the mc instead it's the mc being lewd, there are of course events whether it main or sub events that force terrible things to the mc,
and other things thebranch of a sub story can branch depends on your stats and dont let you choose what will you do, for example

This game starts out pretty dark but gets fun very quickly. If you are not into dark rape and dire circumstances, which I am not, this fairly quickly turns around and becomes about choice and corruption. A very enjoyable game.

Good plot, nice pictures and a lot of other interesting things. I would like to say way more about game, but i don't know english enough for this
Хороший сюжет, приятная рисовка и множество других интересных вещей и событий

In my opinion, Claire's Quest is the best independent adult game of any genre that currently exists, The game is impressive and several factors, You feel really alive in Claire's shoes in the choices, Each choice has to be chosen intelligently, You always want to explore more and more of the game...I've played almost all the adult games, I still say, Even without it being 100%, It's the best game in the adult genre in my opinion, Thanks to the entire team at
Dystopian Project for the incredible game!

This game could be really amazing, sadly its far from it. There are many clear issues, since its big game i will make it short as possible:

- too ambitious, world is simply too big, there is too much of everything, its too easy to get lost, exploring takes forever to figure out and RPGM engine doesnt help with that (slow animations/cutscenes/dialogues). Game makes you feel dev first created whole big ass world and then started to take care of basics, which he failed.

- hunger and exhaustion mechanic sucks, simply as that. Whole hunger thing takes you to buy few apples from a merchant (or better food) and eat it before going to sleep, cus you lose hunger only when going to sleep. Exhaustion is more annoying than anything else, you get sex scenes that make you exhausted and now you cannot run and have to go to sleep, and it repeats a lot in many places around the map, what a not cool idea to force player to not be able to run and take it slowly to the inn every time, so immersive!

- writing is silly, just starting from the mansion and guy obsessed around his sister, its simply weak and forced to move on cus there is other stuff that dev wants to show player. Again too much content instead of less with good quality.

- H scenes are decent but not animated with no audio so its rather mid.

- music is so out of place, very loud and super epic for no reason on some random ass parts of the map, it reminds me Tales of Maj'Eyal music a bit, but worse and not fitting at all.

About anything rest i cannot tell cus i need to play more, although i dont think i change my rating.

Incredible game with a lot of scenes, lot of writing, the grind is really not that heavy. I think the beginning can be a bit slow but after chapter 2 it's pretty fine.

Still impressed on how the team handled that huge project. The old art is not as good as the last ones but damn it became something, almost every kink is covered in this game.

It's been what, 8 years now? I remember playing this years ago and there are still quests from back then that are still unfinished now.
I'm sorry but no matter how well made it is, if its still at 0.2 for years it will never be a finished game.
It does not deserve to be rated as high as others on this rating that were created in a fraction of the time this game has been in development and managed to get way more content, mechanics, art than this, it's honestly quite unfair to those games that are released as full games that don't scam their customers.
Besides this, it was really promising initially and the game at start is unique and quite fun, but after half a hour of game play you'll run into these unfinished quests that will likely never be completed.

TL;DR: A breath of fresh air in a sea of mediocrity, despite the version number being relatively low, there are hours upon hours worth of questing and gameplay, plenty of lewds as well

+ Pleasant art-style, not much more to say besides that I enjoyed it
+ Variety of scenes ranging from consensual, non-consensual, humanoid, bestiality, and monsters, something for everyone
+ Very in-depth choices that alter much of your gameplay experience, most choices actually do matter unlike some other games.
+ The 'pure' route allows you to play someone who is both capable and smart, a breath of fresh air when most protags are fucking idiots, but a high Intrigue (one of the four core stats) can detect bullshit from a mile away which is nice
+ Despite the version number being only 0.26, I've spent close to 5 hours on my pure run and I'm still finding more quests, more stuff to explore, and more scenes to save for later, genuinely having a good time just questing
+ Writing is surprisingly really good, don't expect much from Hgames usually, but so far I'm a happy camper

- Game has been in development for a while, but given the amount of content present atm, I'm not too bummed about that
- Could use more interesting romance options

Not much to say that is negative about this game, I'm having a very good time and I don't think that will change any time soon. I recall giving this dev's previous game a mediocre rating, so I wasn't expecting much with this one, but I stand corrected.

This review is directed towards v0.26.3, which is the latest version posted in the site.

So, what to say about this game...

It is honestly a very unique game, all things considered. We take on the role of Claire, which is a common girl living in a common rural area with her mother while her father is out serving the King and it still hasn't come back home

That in itself is already a very unique start that not many games really do. Most games out there are about a heroine, or hero.. or a knight, or someone in a rather high position of power. But it doesn't end there, the character in this game actually gets to experience literal hell as her world literally crumbles when her mother gets captured by the Swine and the invasion begins

Through your choices, the character gets to decide her future. Whether she decides to take refugee in the camp, the easy way out so to speak.. or should she decide to pursue the hard route which leads her to meeting Stella and progressing in a different manner (though it locks you out of some content).

Your choices matter, and that is absolutely great in a game, as it gives you a sense that the things you're doing are meaningful and have a purpose.

The storywriting in this game is very good. I have played Overgrown: Genesis from this creator and the writing quality is on par with that one

Believable writing, grounded, doesn't try too hard to be sexual. I really really like it and it helps create a better sense of immersion and worldbuilding, it is impactful when it needs to, it is light-hearted at the appropiate times. It does what it's meant to do very well

Gameplay mechanics are also pretty polished and well thought out.. through the decisions you make in the game, you build your character out the way you would prefer her to be.. more sexual, more defiant, more submissive, more insightful, etc.

Most of what I have to say about this game is positive, except for one rather big issue that I have with it.. which is, the story itself.

Not because of writing, no no.. none of that, but because it seems like the story is losing it's meaning. What do I mean by this? Let me explain

The world of Claire's Quest is a big one, there are many different places you can go to, many different people to meet.. many different scenes to hunt for, the game really is trying is best at trying to make the world feel alive... which is very commendable and I appreciate it, don't get me wrong..

But it is exactly because of this, that I find myself having trouble with the story. Many places to go, many people to meet, means many different side-quests that you can gather, many different things that you can do outside of the main story

And while this normally wouldn't be bad, it is overdone I believe and the main story is being lost amongst the many many different things you can do in the game that are unrelated to the main story.

I reiterate, I really appreciate that the creator is trying to make this world feel alive by giving us tasks to do in said work, a few side quests, new sexual CG's.. but there's just way too many of them and it needs to be toned down quite a lot in my opinion

The game is nowhere near finished and there still are many many things that the creator likely wants to create, wants to finish the game, but at this point it just feels like there isn't really any meaningful progress to the story whatsoever.

There's many questions that remain to be answered, many lore points to cover.. and at this rate it feels like those are not going to be answered nowhere near the future.

I really with I could get into the game a bit more, everything about it is great.. except for that one big problem.

Hopefully the creator realizes that they might perhaps be a little too ambitious with their game and focus on toning it down a little bit and continuing on the main story.

Side quests are fun until they entirely drown the main story and makes it lose importance.

One of my favorite games on F95.
Very well rounded game, depraved, well written, pretty main character and offers something for most - if not all kinks.
Looking forward to each update so far.
I also find the bestiality content quite interesting, especially since most other games don't offer much in this regard.
The game could offer more incest, maybe that Claire's father reappears and knocks her up or something like this, that would be fantastic.

Love the art!!! , really nice game.

Quality content and covers most fetishes with choices as well so you're not forced into any scenes which is a huge pluls


Great game , hope there's a sequel or prequel to it as well!!

Best sex RPG!

Lack of direct combat is perfect. You're rapebait, and it shows. Some can be avoided, some can't (the way it should be). Kinks are quite on the extreme side, but so well damn executed.

This game is pretty good for the first 30-60 minutes, there is corruption, story, some sexual content, not much of gameplay though, that's a decent start.

Sadly, after progressing further into the game it's pretty dissapointing: annoying features waste players time, content density is pretty bad, story is... there, bugs, still not much of gameplay and corruption is not reflected in the character behaviour outside of quests that support it.

I've played it on and off over the years and for more than 7 years in development it doesn't have that much to show for it.

The writing is good though.

Objectively, 5/5 game in terms of the actual game. However nothing is that simple these days.
Art is wonderful and even changes depending on Claire's depravity.
Story and character is well thought out.
Claire being nearly helpless and having to use her wit and body to go around is a nice touch.
There isn't that much grinding. The game is amazing in terms of fetish variety and spice it has.

Why does it get only 2 stars? It's now following a scheme of Summertime saga. You have 3000+ patrons but you're telling me you're unable to deliver an update in NINE MONTHS?
Behind the scenes, lead dev also taking private commissions to add specific content and story arcs.
Dystopian Project was able to deliver updates consistently. How they seem to be in ever mismanaged hell. With character redesigns, changing artists, delaying promised content and lacking focus.

You may notice while playing that a lot of the quests are unfinished. More so the main quest. Instead of focusing on finishing several core questlines and subquests, with each update the game gets more pointless scenes that add up to nothing and never properly finish questlines.
This isn't quests being open ended and up for adding of more content when quests have been like that for years.

I refuse to support these developers anymore as they have failed to deliver. This game had potential but as always, very few manage to deliver when they get too big.

Claire's Quest isn't your run-of-the-mill RPG—it's a true gem in the sea of hentai games. This game offers more than just adult content; it's a full-fledged adventure that everyone will find something to enjoy, from RPG enthusiasts to degenerates like myself.

The artwork is remarkable, with newer artists breathing life into characters like Claire with stunning visuals. Paired with solid writing, the game offers engaging storylines and character development, especially within the various faction questlines, from the breeders to the rangers and shield maidens. The emphasis on rape/abuse scenes might overwhelm some players, but for lovers of the genre, it's a treasure trove.

I adore Claire's Quest's take on gameplay. Focusing on dialogue and decision-making rather than traditional turn-based RPGM combat. While this may not appeal to everyone, it adds depth to the experience, making every interaction purposeful. However, it might need some additional tweaking, especially the non-sexual stat gains. Sometimes it becomes needlessly hard to raise Claire's defiance and intrigue, limiting the available playstyles.

Despite being a work in progress, Claire's Quest is a labor of love worth supporting. While there are some rough edges and unfinished patches, these flaws are overshadowed by the game's potential. Here's hoping for a fulfilling main story with multiple endings, similar to Overgrown Genesis. And with such a vast amount of adult content, players looking for an immersive experience won't be disappointed.

In conclusion, Claire's Quest offers a refreshing take on RPGM games, blending adult content with engaging gameplay and superb storytelling. Supporting the Architect on Patreon is a no-brainer, as games like this are a rare find.

P.s: Perhaps focusing more on human action and less on fucked up anthropoid sex wouldn't be bad. But it's just me.
5/5

The Game is pretty buggy and some of the Questline aren't even complete. What's point in trying to play down a questline and then getting hit with "This Quest is not complete". Also that Futa scene out of nowhere was uncalled for, had to delete this game after that.

It seemed to have a good story, but it offers almost nothing on the gameplay side. It's also very weak visually. You can't make the game full screen and everything looks very small and the resolution of the game is blurry like 480p. We should also have also been able to make the main character male as an alternative for those who don't want to direct a female character. If it claims to be a real RPG game, it shouldn't impose a single character gender. I expected this to be an adult game, but because the game over-dramatizes the main character's situation, I started not getting close to anyone to protect her. The erotic scenes are just still pictures and the majority of the game is just text and black screen. The storytelling should have at least been supported by 2D animations. When the cinematic scenes enter, the background goes black and only simple text describing the events is shown, reducing the immersion of the story. The developer has interesting stories to tell but lacks the skills to draw them into the game. On the other hand, the game is bugged as hell. If it weren't for the cheat menu, you'd get bugs in most places that would completely corrupt your save file.

I cannot help but applaud the developers for their dedication and creativity. They've not only created a game but an entire universe that beckons exploration and leaves a lasting impression on anyone who dares to venture within.
