RPGM - Claire's Quest [v0.29.1] [Dystopian Project]

TL;DR:
(Disclaimer: the game is in-developmet as I have reviewed it. The review will be updated/revisited after it is finalized)
Pros -
1. A grind-free RPG with multiple choices throughout the entire game. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? Literally a VN with more choices than any other single MC based VN.
2. This game covers vast amount of fetishes and the most unimaginable ones, you have to give a Thumb-Up for that.
3. Appealing Western art style (not the best, but you can appreciate that)
4. Fair amount of playtime for all the Scenes

Cons -
1. If you prefer art, this might not have the MUST-SEE top quality art for your eyes.
2. This pit of fetishes goes deep and vast, this is a HELLHOLE, so GET OUT before you fill your room in vomits...
3. Seriously, I got nothing more, man.

Honest Opinion:
I don't think anyone can question the quality of this game when it comes to the amount of choices and branches it offers. The vast variety of fetishes also makes this game more intriguing than the rest. What surprises me most is that a Western developer would go this far into the art department as not to use "standard common 3D CGs/Modeling programs", and hire artists to do their own 2D.

What would actually make it a top quality? Add in some voice acting and SE, refine a bit more on the art, and hopefully see more variations in plots & endings. I understand why there are people not in favor of this suggestion, but honestly, where else can we fill a hole?

It is a good game atm and may we see the best of it as it is further developed.

(Updated: as a hindsight, this is one of the few western developers that can offer products that can nearly match OneOne1's production, in the fetish department, hence I do want to see them improving and dethrone OneOne1. Guess VA is the last step? Unless the developer is looking forward to conquer them in the animation department. Frankly, I don't see it happening any time sooner)

Loved it a RPG game not centered around combat with multiple choices
Based on different attributes and the gradually changing profile is a nice touch
story is great(I'm a sucker for the whole humiliation and slave dynamic)
The art is gorgious normally i pass on Western cg but this looks hot a decent length so far
Just a very high quality game that is definitely worth downloading

Excellent Sprite and Artwork, very good storyline it leaves options to solve and it have different outcome depending on the character traits. It works for window 7 32 bit, that's a plus most just gone for 64 bit higher and ultra memory requirements.

Claire's Quest is an impressive game, with titillating art. I enjoy the absence of combat. The devs have made good use of the RPG Maker engine.

User agency is respected, and the lewd acts are exciting!
Thanks!

This game has a really good introduction that let you think that finally you found THE real ero rpg in which you really are in control of your heroine path.

The game explains you that you have to be careful about your choices 'cause it will affect your character experience. It's not a lie but… it only affects it in a bad way.

Effectively as usual, if you want to have some content you need to play as a slut… again. Like every other games of this kind.

Every events that occurs after 30 min of gameplay require you to have this stat at this level and there isn't any alternative involving sex.

Once you clear the actual game content, you understand that you have to be a slut or the game is blend.

meh...

This review is written as of version 17.2.

Overall, a very solid game. It's an RPG Maker game that is pretty open world. It starts off with a focused story and then sort of dilutes into a "Claire is a good adventurer who wants to help everyone" type of gameplay. If you love rape and corruption, this is the game for you. It also has monster sex/bestiality in it if that's your thing. The game really is a puzzle on how to figure out how to raise your stats in order to unlock quests/scenes.

There's a very big false advertisement here though: the overview says that it's devoid of any grinding. It is true that you don't grind on enemies as there is no combat in this game, but the game is very grind heavy. It's grind heavy in a sense that you run out of energy quickly and you find yourself constantly walking to inns and grinding money just to buy food to sate your hunger. Even though there's heavy grinding, the scenes are great, but you're definitely sinking hours of time just to unlock stuff.

Another issue with the game is that it lacks some QoL stuff that you see in other games. Cuz of the money grind, you're pretty much forced to see the same scene over and over again. There's no option to skip scenes you've already seen before. There's no option to change the speed of the text too. And sometimes it can feel frustrating trying to figure out how to raise a stat up to unlock new quests.

If you play this game normally, it looks like you can permanently miss stuff. Without cheats, the game is encouraging you to play over and over again which really sucks if there's no New Game+ option to allow you retain your stats.

If you're looking for a time sink with a rich open world story, this is the game for you. At the end of the day, there's still plenty of room for improvement though.

this game is great. it isn't just a pron game. it's a RPG game and I love RPGs
and I love the fact that the game is inspired by skyrim
the Artwork is great. I specially love the newer artist and the design of claire is great as well
The writing is good too and I love all the faction questlines from the breeders to rangers and shield maidens.(I don't really like the temple questline cause I'm not into futa)
besides that, I'm really hoping the game continues the main story with multiple endings like their other great game overgrown genesis
I strongly suggest supporting the patron because these kinds of game are extremely rare. I really hope this turns out into a massive functional RPG
Altough I love the Art
I really hope you can finish the game with a pure run with a defiant claire
Since in RPGs I always try do my own playthrough without getting crroupted

One of the best titles on here. Terrific artwork, functional gameplay, coherent story. Few bugs to encounter, and several hours of content which expands with semi-regular updates. Loads of naughty sex and depravity; the creator is aiming to create a solid game.
9/10 - will fap again.

Wonderful game
Full of prospective
Enjoyable , not just a porn game , great art , short and fast development
Very likeable
And I don't know what more to say but f95 zone keeps fucking saying more than 200 words , I hope by typing this f95zone can fuck off

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 !

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.
