    ImplicitlyLewd

    This game is the definition of wasted potential. For starters, as many people have pointed out, this game is very focused on rape, which sure there's plenty of fetish games out there. The difference though, is the game appears to have a much larger scope than it actually ends up accomplishing. For the lack of variety alone I think it earns this rating, but there's plenty more.

    There is hardly a sense of progression, despite the fact that there's a lewd bar, and sex skills that you can level up. They're essentially worthless. The world is impressively big, but not as much to do in it as it seems. The time limit makes this frustrating as well, and I don't care that "that's the point of the game", because repeating scenes just for the sake of more scenes is not enjoyable.

    Of course the art is great and there's a lot of other great things about the game, and a lot of attention to detail, but it's all wasted on this game.

    WARNING: This game has a lot of rape, certain scenes can also be dark and disturbing.

    With that being said, this game was absolutely amazing. I put about 22 hours into the game, getting all the endings which is required to get the true ending. The true ending is absolutely worth it since most of the other endings were very dark.

    The artwork is also very good in my opinion. It's just very sexy and I always felt turned on whenever I saw a sex scene. There are no animations, mainly just CGs and some screen shake effects here and there. There are also added noise effects like a plapping sound whenever there is something lewd happening.

    Game play wise, you're mainly just out finding events. There are certain RPG elements like leveling up certain attributes but it's mainly to unlock more scenes. Story wise, it's much better but the story only picks up towards the true ending once you finally start to understand everything.

    In the end, I really hope to see a sequel to this game. There's a lot of untapped potential which the new characters introduced towards the end of the game. One of the very few games where I ended up buying it on DLSite. That's how much I really liked the game.

    Pros
    -Decent Art
    -Large World with Exploration Elements
    -Reasonably good scenarios

    Debatable
    - Rape focus if you want anything to happen could be a positive for some, or a negative for others. The game seems very focused on rape, and not the friendly kind.
    -No animations and limited CG progression in scenes, fixed by the mod which exists.
    -Written text certainly isn't poetry, but it's also just barely serviceable.

    Cons
    -Nothing to do in the large world after visiting all locations for a first time.
    -Bad pacing
    -Illusion of choice

    (tl;dr version at bottom)

    The game makes a pretty good first impression. True, the story isn't terribly revolutionary (girl gets caught being horny, moves to a new town for a new start), but the background story seems fairly fleshed out with a good bit of lore, a variety of characters to interact with, and what appears to be some interesting progression systems tied to a school.

    The first few hours you're given liberty to explore the island, speak to a number of npcs to see what they're up to, and explore each nook and cranny to pick up trash which increases your reputation(cool!). The map seems big and it sets expectations for a lot of scenarios that could be spread around. At the same time the game introduces you to the day/night cycle and the 7 day week cycle, as well as your energy and lust meters. It all indicates an ambitious game with multiple interlocking systems that might make a really immersive and fun experience.

    Unfortunately after a couple of additional hours, each of these systems proves to amount to little and disappoint, rather than impress. It's as if someone saw these systems in other games, and decided to implement them on top of a linear scene collector, which ultimately squanders the natural strengths of each. Most of these mechanics seem like they would lead to sexual scenes in some way.

    For instance, the lust meter seems to do nothing until maxed out, at which point you go into a Horny mode. In other games, this generally has a notable effect in average gameplay. In this, I found nothing. Go around talk to random npcs, nothing. Explore risky locations, nothing. Even interact with a story scene and it seemed to have no real impact. It's likely that it will impact something at some point, but the game certainly doesn't tell you anything to that effect, and by being unable to register it's impacts in any way early in the game, it makes the system feel pointless. Perhaps it's intended to only be used once the MC is more slutty, but then it seems curious that the meter increases so quickly from the very start of the game.

    The large open world map that is initially fun to explore(mainly because it sets expectations to be able to sandbox), turns quickly into a hell for the player. For whatever reason, the dev decided that the world map can only be navigated by streets linking locations, and to automatically insert you to whatever location you pass on the world map. Imagine a Mario Level Map where instead of being able to skip over a level you already played, you have to go into that level and get to the other side...Granted it's not nearly as bad here, as you have no enemies to avoid generally, but it's an example of poor design that would have been so much smarter/kinder to the player to expect a button click to enter a zone, rather than a touch. This issue is helped a bit by providing options to fast travel, but those are problematic for other reasons, including the fast travel menu being clunky as hell, risk or money being required, and the fact that with a better map design, I would have been able to simply walk to my desired location in 5 seconds, which would feel far smoother.

    The game does not force you to participate in any questlines. In fact, you quickly become aware that the main questline is a trap, which to me made me initially avoid it, as I was curious to see how my woman would progress if she was smart. Sadly, this is a trick, as there is literally nothing else to do in the whole game. So you are forced to be an idiot. I personally dislike games that force me to be an idiot in order to play them. Some force you to lose on purpose to see scenes, but this one forces you to lose on purpose if you even want to get to the END OF THE GAME. Granted this isn't 100% true as you could do nothing all game and get the equivalent of the secret Far Cry 4 ending.

    The day cycle is abysmal. There are 5 times of day with which you can decide an activity to do. Morning, Noon, Evening, Night, Midnight. At the start of the game, there are something like 15 locations on the World Map. Of those 15 locations, there are 2 locations for you to engage with on a daily basis, and one location to engage with every Saturday. The other locations may as well not exist for the beginning of the game(I stopped playing, but I assume this pattern more or less continues, but maybe adds a location or two randomly to be important on a certain day). In the morning, you can go to the school and teach. At any time of day, you can stay in your neighborhood and visit a creepy old man who wants to bone you. You can also visit your neighbor during the daytime. That's it. For the whole first week. On saturday you can start the main quest at a shrine. Why on earth the game gives you (5times x 7 days) 35 turns with only 6 events to complete (school + shrine, unless you want to opt into rape by an old man), I will never understand. It feels so utterly hopeless. And god forbid you decide to explore the whole world map on every day of that first week, you'll fight with the map while vainly retracing your steps over and over again, realizing there's literally nothing to do.

    tl;dr version: Skip this game if you hate something shooting far below its potential. If you want to play this and enjoy it, I HIGHLY recommend getting a guide and following it. The game isn't grindy, it's just incredibly aimless and empty. I have no idea why they chose to put all this extra fluff in when it should have been a linear scene collector with maybe a few important choices.

    Almost a good game. It has the content to be an amazing game but really makes you grind for it.

    To complete a different ending has you basically replay the game and doing certain things becomes a chore. You can't get all the content or story in 1 go. You have to do very specfic actions. Its not something you just stumble through to continue a route.

    It does have good content, just behind lots of grinding and spaces a little too far. Oh and it has a story you kind of want to unravel. Unfortunely for me it became too much for me and couldn't get the true story. I even played it MUCH longer than I probably should have.

    Pros:
    - Hot MC if you're into the body type.
    - Some good scenes and art with it.
    - A story that has effort into it, though not amazing. Interesting true end.
    - Nice outfit variety.

    Cons:
    - A bit slow to get around the island. Fast travel is a little jank and you have to pay to use it. A bit tedious in general to progress things, not terrible though.
    - Fairly non-existant corruption. Aside from getting raped so much you stop trying to avoid it, and even that isn't gradual its just a perk after dozen+ or whatever rapes.
    - Unlocking true end / getting all routes is fairly grindy. You need to basically play through fully each time instead of getting convenient ways to branch.

    Overall this at least is decent and has effort put into it, but with the grindiness and the lack of corruption / its poor execution I'm giving it a 3.

    I absolutely love the art, the plot is interesting and doesn't make you bored most of the time, the animation is unique and not using any generic RPGM artstyle.
    I really hope azurite made the sequel out of this game

    The MC is very hot, she got mad titties and you will witness amazing thickness. The game has a lot of effort into it. However, it is all a trap, the game is very grindy to see the good stuff, and the fact that the MC is hot makes you waste more time .

    You progress every ending after so much repetitive shit only to get one endings ( endings are kinda cool), but the progress with other endings will be zero again, meaning you have to do the grind again.

    There are so many things to do, but the flow of the game is chaos which can be rectified using the pdf guide, but the grind part totally kills the game, from a 5 to a 2, I will give it a 3 because of the great art.

    As I mentioned in my post, I've been following the translation since 1% completion. Art is okay could be better tbh but if you put aside your horny just for a sec you'll notice how good the story actually is and I'm a monkey brain when its come to PORNO games I just wanna shake the snake as soon as I can but damn did the story catch me by surprise.

    Pretty good try it out, very rapey if u into that but it's not like the MC doesn't deserve it..she ain't no saint.

    The game is like Irreversible if the rape scene was the whole movie.

    For being the first game of the dev and also being a RPG maker one, it seems that the author really put care and passion in this game. To be honest, I think this may as well be one of my favorite rpg h-games. It can be very confusing the first time one plays the game, mainly because at the start you have almost a full free will to do whatever you want (except doing *some* of the things that require certain fetishes to be acquired first). Since it's a exploring life sim, you basically live the apparently ordinary life of Rinko Kageyama while having disturbing encounters with men that have a violent lust over her.

    Some of the events, especially the secondary ones, unfold sometimes in ways that I find really creative in a porn game. And while it is true that the game is mainly rape aside from one (or two, depending your choice) specific route, and it may look ridiculous at times the amount of rapists in the whole island, it is weirdly enough a central keypoint of the main story of the game.

    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    Even though the game appears to have supernatural elements out of nowhere without any explanation at first, I honestly enjoyed the story explanation we have later on and also find the story to be very interesting (could even work as an horror story if given another focus) even though it's not were the game really shines. The art is the best part of the game and I think it's one of the bests I've seen in an 2d rpg maker game tbh. The main cons I see with this game is that the CGs repeats a little bit too much (there are scenes that have a buildup so good that kinda get messed up by the same CG again), there were some lost opportunities to add more stuff (like the brothel) and that the whole system of Rinko's sexual knowledge also seem kinda pointless.

    I would have liked to see more corruption and see Rinko enjoying sex more, but I'm okay with it now since once you explore a little bit of the map you'll get the idea quickly (or not) that rape is the central theme of the game, just like incest in some and harem is in others. Funnily enough, the protagonist is not an innocent maiden but if one plays the game they'll be able to know why.

    Really hoping for a sequel or DLC if the author ever comes back.

    TL;DR:
    Pros:
    Incredible art, decent story, okay gameplay.
    Cons: CGs too repetitive.

    Many endings in the game, but honestly I enjoyed that the canon ending is a good one for the main character after all the rape.

    Quite astounding

    I didn't expect this amount of quality when I opened the game

    Yeah the content is lacking in a lot of ways (No side 'quests' , Too much focus on the main story tbh)

    But this isn't just a 'CG collector' like most RPGM 'games' tend to be
    since you can roam around the island freely (although the devs didn't fully utilize it.)

    tbh in my eyes, this game was great. Lacking, but great.
    I'd say this game could have been a masterpiece if the devsmade more routes (preferably non-rape) and focused on side content more.

    The story is insane tho

    Lastly, boobies

    9/10

    Both an absolutely great game and a disappointing one.
    The game is very focused on Rape, the nonconsensual type, i'd say 90% of the scenes are Rape scenes. It is sadly not my cup of tea. If you dislike Rape, i'd say you'll probably still have some fun playing this game, if you STRONGLY dislike Rape yeah you're probably not gonna enjoy it, if you are neutral or like Rape it's gonna be a masterpiece.

    The game is a Life-sim RPG, and it is a good one, you have a big open world map with various locations, each location full of details, NPCs, places you can enter and events to find, five different times (morning, noon, evening, night, midnight) that change events in locations and which NPCs are there, a bunch of small interactions, a clothing system, a shower system (you can get sweaty or bukkaked), you get it, it's a very detailed RPGM game.

    The thing that disappoints me, besides the rape thing i mentioned, is that it has all these systems, all these things, but it focuses only on one fetish and character routes are kinda either too samey or too short. So it never really fully utilized all those systems in the main routes. The side content was saving it for me, the side events are still very rapey, but they have a bit more of dub-consensual, lighthearted tones, voyeurism and use a bit more of the features of the game.

    The narrative is pretty good, but honestly, i only played like half of the game until i decided that the h-content is not really for me, and you have to do all routes to reach the true ending, i ended up seeing the ending on the recollection room.

    So, for me, it's a really good game focused on a fetish that i find not so good...

    Say it once and I'll say it again. The best game you'll find for this depraved genre of games. The level of detail the creator has put to her work is insane. I've played my fair share of RPGM games and the quality of this one is something you won't find anywhere else. The artwork is great, the various events around town to make sure you're ACTUALLY experiencing the world instead of just running from point a to point b and collect scenes. Various characters and them getting knit together at the end, the prologue, everything is just great. I can't stress it enough this project was made by someone who actually knows their shit and went through with it.
    I have purchased the game of dl to support the creator and am anxiously awaiting their next project

    This game is unique in that it has an actually interesting narrative and story.
    For spoiler reasons I will not reveal them but the story is very good. (Trust me)

    The main criticism about the game would be that alot of info about certain routes is a bit hard to figure out on your own when playing for the first time. As such I would highly reccommend checking for hints in the gallery or using the Guide included with the game when you get stuck. The Guide is very detailed so if you have a question you will almost certanly find an answer in there.
    Another criticism is that basically every single H-Scene involves rape in some form. I personally don't really like rape in general, but in this game it serves an actual purpose in the plot. The artstyle can also be a bit hit or miss, I found the proportions of Rinko to be a bit too exaggerated for my taste, but that's just personal preference at the end of the day.

    The gameplay is seperated into main routes and side content, you only need to play the main routes to get the "true" ending, but the side content is also very fun and worthwile to see anyways.

    As a fun challenge for you, try to see how many people you can spread STD's to! It has no downside gameplay or story wise so don't worry.

    A bit disappointing.
    Yesterday when I saw the thumbnail I was afraid, cause usually the games or hentai with this type of art go into hard stuff like scat, girls getting a ton of armpit hair etc, wich is not my kind of stuff, but I was pleasantly surprised when I didn't see any of that stuff on the game preview images.

    So I downloaded and played it.

    First of all I really apreciate the art style, and chara designs. The first thing I've done when I started playing, I walked around the map seeing all the different locations, the maps is pretty big, with varied landscaped, I really thought that I had found a gem.

    But here comes the problem(s), I only played until one ending, but I don't think my opinion will change.
    Having a lot of main "antagonists" can be great, like the teacher, the neighbor, the students etc but I would have prefer if we had less characters and more devlops stories with them.

    I've played the neighbor route, and first of all, I didn't get how to get on that route before reading the guide.
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    So I got the scenes from Neighbor route, and some side events, and I find the scenes too short, they lack of devlopement, many scenes are rapes, but even like that I wished a bit more, and I really didn't like that summary after a scene saying like I got fucked X times, Creampied X times etc. A more devlopped dialog of the girl prota thought would be great.

    So as I said I only played one route, I will try others like with P.E teacher, or the old man, and see if like once you devlop some trait, the dialogues changes.

    But to resume my thought, I would have like to have less characters but more devlopped interactions, have more scenes, etc.

    It could have been good, with some ambition. AT the end it's just a sex scene collector like a lot of other Hrpg.

    The game is all about unlocking all the sex scene with the NG+ mechanic. You finish the game once, then you do it again keeping all of your stat and it allows you to unlock 2 or 3 other scene.

    No combat, no mini games, just a plain hentai game with relatively good drawings.

    I don't really understand why you should go through it rather than just checking the img folder given that there is no gameplay.

    The script and dialogs are basic but not dumb for those kind of game.

    obromacare

    I played this while fans were manually translating it bit by bit. Genuinely amazing.

    Pros:
    -Stoic FMC with a banger body that isn't emotionless. What does that mean? It means people gawk at her and she dislikes it, she gets raped and she's genuinely afraid, etc. Feels like a genuine person instead of "hot woman .jpg 4". She's arrogant, but not emotionless and untouchable.
    -a LOT of exploration. There are tons of places and scenes to explore. Like, you could play for 5 hours and still find multiple playthroughs that you've never touched.
    -Looping story with a "shock" factor the first time you play it. Call it a mild jumpscare, but the game goes from "ooh sexy" to "...what the hell is going on" to "what the HELL" really quickly in the last arc. From there, the game loops and you return to day 1, and you can redo other playthroughs you never tried. It's a story that had me interested.
    -Different clothing and customization. It isn't much, since her sense of "shame" doesn't really let her strip outside, but you can choose what to wear. The downside of this is some actions require certain clothes (like you need to wear your school outfit to teach) and you can only change your outfit at certain areas.
    -The CGs are great. Sound design and CGs are top notch. Also a side note, but this game has "flavor text stats" that do nothing (for the most part, barring one specific route). Pretty fun to see her "degrade" with each playthrough. Even has random stats like her "stench".

    Cons:
    -After you play through about 70% of the game...it slows down tremendously, due to some paths only existing at certain days. For example, there's a route where you
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    . One of the outfits you can only get by specifically teaching every day, and then "looping" back to day 1, making it so you need to essentially "kill" one of your playthroughs. It's genuinely annoying, and after a while the game becomes a chore to play.
    -This is in a similar vein as the first "con" point, but repeated routines gets old. Change clothes, go up to school, dodge the teacher, teach a class, prep for the next day, jerk off, tutor the shota, jerk off, sleep, rinse and repeat 30x. Once the magic of the first 10 hours wears off...man, it's just tiring.
    -Some scenes require certain outfits or stats. Some scenes are time sensitive. So, you just barely lack the money to buy that swimsuit for shota? Sorry, shota route is dead this playthrough. Try again in 30 days.

    Subjective:
    -Tons of rape. She hates men. Also, she can unironically get depressed. One of the endings occurs when she "snaps" from her depression. So...proceed with that knowledge.

    TLDR: Really hot game that is genuinely fun! Lasts for many hours, but after that, the game exponentially becomes a drag because the repetition of the multiple playthroughs. 100% recommend, this game I think is in the top 10 jrpgs of all time. I know thats a high bar, and I might be biased, but man does this game jump high to match that hurdle.

    Tempering

    This is really a good game! It must be played with the guide on hand (it comes with the download), as this is a "choose your path" kind of adventure, and some of the events have obscure requirements or placements. The game has A LOT of scenes, and it can get pretty hardcore (not that often thou). Also the story is really good, but it requires some playthroughs to fully understand.
  19. 4.00 star(s)

    orcoboia2

    This is a pretty good game.
    You just go around looking for events (some are harder to unlock), so it's pretty chill. There's also a wide variety of scenes (although the great majority are rape, a tad it too much for my taste but not excessively).
    The major downside (and the reason i didn't give 5*) is the map. It's SO MASSIVE... it sounds like a good thing (and to an extent it is), but not only going back and forth some places takes too long (and after the fifth time it starts to get annoying, really showing the need for a fast travel function that doesn't require money), in addition some places just feel empty (or are basically unused).

    degenerateguy

    Gameplay: I can't quite put it in to words but this is truly a good scene hunter. Tons of replayability, I was never bored due to the numerous scenes and routes you can go for. On top of that the game has a clothing system which is another plus in my book.

    Sex scenes: This part is entirely subjective. The art style is erm... grimey? Though this isn't a negative, as they did a wonderful job conveying the eroticism of such a thing.

    Translation: Wonderful job! I played this game for 10 hours straight and barely caught untranslated text, and if I'm not mistaken the TL has been fully completed since I last played. The quality of the translation was most definitely passable as well, as at no point did the flow of the dialogue ruin my immersion in the game.
