TLDR A game with potential that is squandered in an attempt to pad the length of the game with arbitrary difficulty and where's wally-esque gameplay. Find the CGs, dont bother with the game. If you really need to play it, get the walkthrough. Oh and turn your headphones down at the start. It just jumpscares you right away like a fucking cunt.
Review:
This game has some aspects that I like, some I really don't, it has some good ideas - but most of them are executed really poorly. It's like when a amateur artist does a painting, gets it to a good place, but then keeps slapping more and more unnecessary paint on, they start making mistakes, things get confused, and any chance of a quality work is lost.
First, lets talk about the art. Nikraria's art is obviously an acquired taste. I, for the most part, really like it. I find the stylization pretty sensuous and erotic. But. This game, this series, and Nikraria's work in general has the issue that all of the characters look pretty similar. Almost all of them have unrealistically large breasts, even on characters that dont really have them in their original media. If this were occasional, or even on half the characters lets say, it would be fine. But it is every singe character. The other commonality is almost all of Nikraria's characters are redheads with bobcuts. He loves Leliana from Dragon Age (who is one of my favorite characters) for instance, and this game series features the protagonist, her mother, and her aunt as the three main sexual characters. All of them look almost identical.
The other issue with the series' art is that all the sexual situations are very samey, its either vanilla or tentacles. Thats really it.
So basically I like the art style, and think it can do a lot to improve characterization, but its really kinda boring after a while. Which leads us to the writing and story.
The whole series is lovecraftian horror-y stuff. It's a decent setting for a porn game, and for a while it's effective, but the series just repeats the same story beats over and over and over again until it's just dull as hell. Most lovecraftian stuff has elements of growing madness, of an unreliable narrator, of questioning reality. the madness is never expounded upon meaningfully. It just shes spooked and horny, and then in sex scenes shes spooked and horny, and in game over sex scenes shes spooked and horny and then loses herself to being spooked or horny. It's the same every fucking time.
The narrator is hinted at being unreliable briefly in the second game in the series, but that gets blown away like 10 minutes into the game and never really comes back. Reality itself is never really questioned. Everyone sees the same stuff and perceives it in the same way, its just how batshit nuts they go that changes.
So yeah, another good idea thats just squandered through constant, unending repetition.
I should also mention that the English is understandable, but has frequent spelling, grammar, and word choice mistakes.
Then we get to the downright awful stuff. The fucking gameplay. The idea again has some promise. Making you go to different places and find shit to advance the story is a perfectly acceptable way to give a narrative context. But when you need to read through text every time you enter a place, wait for a button to appear SOMETIMES in the top right, then move your mouse around until you find something, often a FEW PXELS in size, with no visual marker, you get to the point where the game can go and fuck itself.
The game also has several delayed game overs, where if you miss one of these small pixel perfect objects in one of 8 different places itll let you continue the story for like 10 minutes, then remove the ability to get the item, and them game over you. Which is just bullshit. You'll need a walkthrough.
This game takes that finding shit element present in the first game and then adds a whole bunch more bullshit on top of it. Like trial and error mazes that game over you if you make one wrong turn. Like shooting bits with 2 seconds to find a few highlighted pixels, and a photo section where you have to click on the right spot on a BLANK FUCKING BACKGROUND.
And thats the other thing. So much of this game just has a black background. Its so fucking lazy and immersion breaking.
All in all. It had potential, but there is so much there to intentionally stop you from progressing that it isnt worth playing. Find the CGs, otherwise take a pass.
