RPGM - Completed - Detective Girl of the Steam City [v2.01] [Clymenia/Kagura Games]

In this place of half finished games and unrealised concepts comes Detective Girl of the Steam City, a game made by Clymenia I assume some time ago, which lacked a translation until now. If there's any reason why fan translations exist it is precisely for the purpose of bringing awareness to Clymenia and games like this.

If you've played RPGM games the game play beats will be very familiar to you. However, right off the bat you can see that the creator put in a lot of effort to create the world and atmosphere of Steam City, populating the landscape with lots of extremely adorable steampunk inspired pixel art like broken machinery and riveted plates. It won't be a challenging game to play but the immersive surroundings really add to the story.

I also like the protagonist of the game a great deal. Straight away I thought I was looking at Naoto Shirogane from Persona 4 and then and there I realised how much I wanted to play a Naoto detective game. The pervy side of me certainly doesn't mind the sexual events that "Naoto" (actually Sophie) finds herself in. Porn-wise as well, it's quite rare for tomboys to be the subject, much like you won't see many muscular or very fit girls, so this was a refreshing change.

There are some interesting situations as well, for example Sophie has to enter a men's bath to pursue a suspect and since she almost passes as a boy she thought she could disrobe and blend in. She actually has small and very noticeable breasts and her escort at the time, who knows that she is female, takes the opportunity to molest her and tease her, suggesting that they find a corner. Honestly that was hot, the thought that bathers might see two gay men having fun but actually one of them was secretly female.

Also, much praise to the translation or localisation. I don't know how much of it is faithful to the original Japanese text, but when it references Charles Babbage and English lords who dabble in engineering you know that you truly have something special to read.

I pretty much went to buy this game on Steam right away. I hope it supports more efforts like this. Also it's funny to have a game called Steam City on Steam.

I'm a hardcore Clymenia fan, but I was a bit disappointed with this one. The concept/theme of Steampunk Detective is fantastic, unique and is very refreshing for an otherwise stale meta of Hentai games. The is art is wonderful, as always, and you can find them in all their uncensored glory here. They actually have some quality-of-life improvements that you don't normally see in H-games, like a well-made player map.

However, something felt off with this one. I felt like for a hentai game, there was too much emphasis on the game and not enough on the hentai. The world is very large, but not detailed like previous games. Detective Girl is still a great game though, but for me personally, it didn't feel on par with previous titles. I'm still hoping for a sequel to their hypno-aristocrat game, but they have already begun previewing their next title and it is not.

As a side note, I was hoping for more "x-ray through clothes" content. When I saw that Clymenia released that mini-game where you can see through two women's clothes, I thought it would be an easy combo with a detective girl.

No idea why no one rated it yet but here i go.

First of all, good game all way around, good UI, easy to understand, missions are clear and well explained even if you're part of the "Skip all dialogue" party. Minimap is VERY useful and so is the main map and the way the area are named. And most of all You can choose by the touch of a boutton wich mission you wanna have on your UI Man that detail is SO good and is missing on so many games i'm glad it's there.

Then on the gameplay itself: Simple, easy to move around (no slow ass walking) you can also skip battles using skills learned (One is unlocked after helping the fotograph the other is at the brothel). upgrades can be tedious to grind but other than that the battles are easy enough yet still interesting as the story goes on.

On the Hentai part, very good. Nice art, well balanced kink tho some are rarer than others, and such. Frankly good all round. Can't go too far into it without having to repeat myself on how nice the art is.

Only malus i can say is that the "detective" part is kinda weak, small things that force you to act a bit like one especially during the main missions but other than that, a really easy game when it comes to missions.

But still, very good game !
