RPGM - Completed - Crypt's Rend [v1.02 Steam] [chimaLABO]

So, for shits, I decided to play the game mostly legit and try to get through all the puzzles and...

Is it weird that I actually disliked the sex scenes? Not for any art reason, I just disliked having to go through them. Here I am, trying to go through, a virgin, uncorrupted playthrough, and they're forcing me to drink semen to answer questions and shit. For this reason, I ended up hating the succubus characters a ton, and this hatred rendered me basically immune to temptation.

As you can tell, I am very sane.

The story however, was intriguing if, albeit, too short. Sequels are implied to be in the works, though not necessarily by the same author, if I have that right? In any case, I was kind of getting irrationally angry at the underhanded nature of the demons. And then, now with a clear head I realize I was getting angry at demons, the villains of the story, being underhanded, in a story where they are attempting to double NTR.

This game is fairly good, but it suffers from the issue that all other games with avoidable NTR suffer from.

They don't flesh out the vanilla stuff. After beating the game, there was essentially like, a single scene dedicated to vanilla sex. Out of 6 chapters, only the last two contain scenes where the main characters talk.

This game could have been expanded, and the relationship between the main characters talk and devise a plan to escape. Rather than separate them entirely, the two should have been imprisoned, but due to their respective mutually granted divine protections are relatively resilient to just being brain controlled by magic, which forces the demons to actually have to drive a wedge in their relationship and undermine that protection without hitting the magic 'mind control' button.

Mind control is the worst trope, okay? If you control someone else's body remotely, that's a type of body horror and is... useful narratively. Possession is also a bit body horror esque, the loss of autonomy. Mind control is like posession, but with no horror and no intrigue to it.

Anyhow, good game, should be longer, wish they made it longer and wish it wasn't so hard leaning into NTR if they're going to give us the option to choose how the ending plays out, but there is avoidable NTR, so you cucks who hate NTR and always want to know if the NTR is avoidable can shut up.

It's always bothered me how the True Ending always has the least content.

+Good Story.
+No bugs.
+Unique.

~Multiple endings, but very short. 3h all content.

-Mediocre art. Reused assets on many scenes.
-Slow movement if you don't cheat to speed up your character...
-Music not playing all the time.

It's average.

Art's nice, but there isn't a whole lot.

Writing is as rote as rote can be. Open Notepad, hold the Windows key together with the letters 'N', 'T', and 'R' and you'll get a template for this plot. True story.

Porn was fine, but predictable and ... 'tried & true'.

Gameplay is simplistic. It tries to be an escape the room but it isn't, it tries to show corruption but it doesn't, it tries to be nonlinear and fails. Kind of a dull letdown.

TLDR: its another take on That Japanese NTR Plot Everybody Keeps Making.

It's okay. If you like NTR I'd give it one or two playthroughs on medium/full corruption routes but it's nothing revolutionary and the negatives are quite significant to the experience.

+ There are a good amount of choices that matter.
+ Art of the females is solid.

= Personally I'd prefer if you could completely avoid the male NTR victim getting any action; when I play NTR games I want non-NTR to be avoidable lol. I acknowledge that that's completely subjective though.
= Pacing of corruption is reasonable enough but still a little fast for my liking.

- Translation is bad. Not the absolute worst ever (you can understand the story) but there are a ton of the usual word wrap issues and incorrect pronoun usage. You'll be going to the text log often.
- Scenes are basically just 1 CG then the same CG with cum slapped on. Desperately needed animation and/or more images.
- No pregnancy.
- Very little effort was put into the incubus's art.
- Too much walking and fetching for the sake of walking and fetching. Especially in a game that really wants you to do multiple playthroughs.

I had a pretty good time playing this. even though I'd consider myself a standard NTR hater. I liked how the corruption includes everyone, both the MC and her lover and the choices you make affect the other. Maybe it's because there are no "leftovers" in this game when lovers are stolen, I am fine with the NTR; in fact, I'm glad everyone can have a "happy" ending.


The art is pretty good and there is no Ugly Bastard. However, the skipping is too slow in a game that is built upon replayability to see different scenes and endings.
Translations are rather good except the use of wrong pronouns. but that's expected in any type of MTL.
All in all, I'd say it is Good. Not great enough to earn a 5*, but entertaining enough to warrant a try.

I finished the game playing the corruption path. I would like to say that I really like the premise of this game. It reminds me of Cucking Trap which is a game where you control both male and female protag to a certain extent and have to resist temptations.

While the story is good, what made me rate this only 3 stars is the animation and art. Right when it really matters, the point where the male/female lead falls into corruption and have sex... the art is censored?? Like seriously? Its all black with just text. Now you can say that it is to add to the point of mystery, which I won't agree because that point where they finally fall is a really good fapping point. Ends up you get blue balled.

I continued till the end and the final scene where the FMC gets turned into a succubus too.. I was thinking, finally maybe there will be some real action.. and the game ends. Showing me the credits. So.. there really isn't any sex scenes in this game. I don't consider a small cut out of 2 lower body parts joined together as a sex scene. That is pure laziness. It is really a pity a game with so much potential gets ruined by lazy art.

TL.DR
Great story, poor art and animation. Really disappointing.
