RPGM - Abandoned - Cursed Estate [v0.3] [Grimdeity]

I love the game, it seems amazing to me. Maybe if it dared to look scarier it would be amazing, but it's great just the way it is. The only drawback is that many CGs do not change depending on the clothing you wear, so the choice of outfit has little influence. For the rest, play it.

One of the best games on RPG Maker I ever played, this game got a magnificent 3D animations on games this type I've ever seen, also game got very interesting story and I looking for the end of it, one issue is that game don't have a gallery mod (for this update it's broken) but author already tring to fix it, so waiting for the next update, and if you wanna play a game with good story, really cool animations, not so brain hard puzzles, it's your game

V0.3
Story: Before 0.3, about ghosts and spirits, it was genuinely good with quite interesting interactions and even some minor branching! In 0.3, a 'prison whorish sim' was introduced that falls out of place of the original setting.
Gameplay: Standard, move pixel player, search and destroy click, sometimes select your actions, sometimes be forced into actions. The same no-battle old-school RPG Maker -- nothing new, but nothing utterly bad as well.
Pixel graphics: I've played one of the previous versions, and was pretty surprised that the developer COMPLETELY changed almost all the visuals and maps. That is pretty decent amount of work, truth to be told. That's a definite plus into the score. The only problem is that visuals became less recognizable, for example, in this version I've completely missed a story about an evil doll, because I didn't notice her in one of the rooms. If I didn't know for sure from version 0.2x that there was something about possessing in a cabin, I would never see these scenes.
Sex CGs: Talking solely about CGs, they are done nicely and consistently with the good standards of the selected graphics engine. A good detail is that you may change a character perspective in a scene.
Sex scenes: Every ghost can embrace a human form, so expect generic MF scenes instead of presumed ghosts. For a change, there were also one or two lesbian encounters. In the last update, only true human MF interactions (i.e., not even the ghosts story-wise).

In general, already a good game right now, between 4 and 5.
Hopefully, it grows into something bigger, with more branching and additional options for visual entertainment.

[Rev @ Cursed Estate v0.3]

Didn't live up to its own hype.

CG art's fine, map chipset is better than most RPGMaker games but still RPGMaker.

I dislike the writing voice; it comes across as a bit too smarmy and 4th-wall-y. The very first blurb seems to be the interest catch equivalent of a camgirl playing up a fake orgasm. Characterization was consistent but really felt like it was leaning too hard on trying to make things spooky.

Porn was disappointing. For all its trying to ape an eldritch horror atmosphere, the naughty parts were pedestrian.

I hope the game branches out more in later releases. The early step-by-step super handholdy nonsense was both off-putting in its own right and at odds with the freeroam advertised in the forum post.

TLDR: Ero-horror should be more tentacles (0) and less unwashed old dudes (4).

v0.2.5: High Quality for a H game. One of the best uses of Koikatsu models i've seen, the H-scenes are animated, even menus are quite polished. The gameplay is simple but I didn't find it boring. You will need the walkthrough if you want to see everything.

Edit: I would give the v3 build 3.5 stars as it changed a lot.

(This review is of version 0.2.5)

Always love to see more games that have mind control/corruption/possession/etc... and actually focus on them! Unlike tons of other games that have those tags but only have them show up in like one scenario each, or less. Bonus points for having an interesting story, interesting (and hot) characters, and having rendered 3d animations. The character models are pretty damn good. I also like the option to spend coins to unlock gallery scenes since it forces you to at least somewhat experience the story so as to get context for what's happening, but still lets you cheat and see everything. Including scenes you missed by doing things certain ways. Plus, it only costs 1 coin per scene so far and you get tons of them.

There are QoL improvements that should definitely be added, like adding teleportation connections to the main house, letting you access certain areas without having to run all the way to the wardrobe just to rip off your clothes/put them back on, and being more consistent with what's actually interactable. I had absolutely no idea the other piece(s) of the torn photo were hidden in the main house until I went looking at what people were saying on this thread since it seems that literally everything you can interact with has an icon or sparkles on it except for the missing photo piece(s). I say piece(s) cause I haven't actually finished the photo so I don't know if there's more than 1 extra piece to find.

BUT I wouldn't worry about those things cause it seems like the dev is on these issues already and might fix them within one update.

One nitpick, also a QoL thing, is that in the h-scenes, you have the option to toggle between a few camera perspectives, but once you progress to the next part, it resets back to the starting perspective. So you have to manually switch it to your preferred perspective each time. I don't know if it's an engine limitation, an oversight, or just too complicated to implement, but it would be pretty cool to keep the perspective the same if that's possible. Even so, I really like that the option to move the camera is there in the first place.

REALLY looking forward to how the game turns out!

Looking good with updates, I really hope this game will not be abandoned, because so far the story and the animations are excellent. The movement is a bit stuttery, but i'm sure the new updates will fix that.

Its a very very Decent game, the graphics are okay, i mean for 3dcg and rpgm they are good. I fall in love with the story the corrupting system etc, The day night cycle is a bit weird cuz it seems there is no change between day and night. What so ever Hope i can see more soon

Girl being slowly corrupted by supernatural forces, yes please. Very promising but currently rough around the edges and has systems that need work, but nothing unfixable nor unexpected for a game that has only been out for a month. Animations were better than I expected and intrigued to see where the story goes. My main gripes: the corruption stat being too easy to manipulate in either direction, and it seeming to act as a content gate more than an alternate path; the overuse of the ahegao face/heart pupils which should be reserved for specific situations, mind control/break, etc.; and the "alternate pov" for some scenes... felt like I got whiplash from a couple of them. Mansion feels overly large but hoping that will be filled with future content. Overall I found it enjoyable and look forward to more, certainly one to keep an eye on!

This is a pretty good game with kinks that aren't super common in western games (ghosts). Animations are pretty good, story is interesting and pretty engaging. Dev is very active and seems to be adding a fair amount of content per update. Maps are a little big and corruption happens a bit too quickly but the dev is listening to and taking advice. RPGM actually works for this title and makes it feel more like a game versus a lot of other engines that end up with games that are just word vomit and images.

Im surprised that nobody has rated this game before but well, here we are...
The game at v0.2.5 has roughly an hour and half of content, mostly to show the story, the characters and the content that those previous characters will have, kinda normal tbh.
Now the scenes are SO GOOD, they are very smooth, animated and the models are really good looking, to be anime models they looks so delicious and better than most of the games that uses anime models.
If the content comes regularly (1-3 months) I definitely gonna support this one, I will keep and eye on this.
Right now the game is a 4.4/5 but I will give ut 5 stars so the people will get curious about this one, totally recomended.
