Artwork
This game has fantastic art with great character design which blend amazingly into the world and setting. Even casual attire has this post-modern sci-fi feel to it despite looking grounded and realistic. Everything meshes well and there's a lot of great assets for the background that are either custom made or utilized in a way that the world feels new. It's not just another RPG maker dime-a-dozen out there.

H-Scenes are lightly animated in a slideshow fashion, so they aren't just static CG's and it is very effective to the point the scenes are hot, steamy, and satisfying. You can also revisit scenes for a little extra flavor text.

Some Stock RPG maker character sprites are generic and don't fit, fantasy characters in this sci-fi world. It's not too bad, I won't take points away for it but I do wish they would either do more unique sprites to this game only for background characters, or at least make sure they fit! This was a big issue in the super market. Also repeating sprites a lot of the time too. It's a small little thing but so much of this games art is fantastic I really would like this little touch!

Story & Writing
I'll start with the writing in general. When this game first started it was done via machine translation, but it wasn't the worst I've read. I've seen some english speakers write worse haha. But since then they've actually gone on to get an english proof reader. They've really elevated this games writing to the point it is enjoyable and easy to read! Characters are funny, they talk like real people, they have their own voices in the text... there's some moments that made me chuckle with effective comedic timing and pacing! So the general writing gets good marks from me.

The setting is pretty unique! It somewhat reminds me of something Tsutomu Nihei would come up with, but not so maccabre/depressing. I want to learn more about the setting to be honest. We hear bits and bits drip fed from Calix, Agapiy, and Midea. The Shop owner too. It's a neat dystopia-like setting which feels rooted in cyberpunk but at the same time it is a lot more... optimistic? The first bit of the game is surprisingly heavy, like, depressing. In a great way. But the world and setting itself is very well done, I want more.

Now the story. The story is cool! I have never enjoyed a 1 hour long prologue as much as this game haha. There's a lot going on, there's this... murder mystery, debt, crime, high stakes... there's highs and lows that most games out there just won't give you. It's amazing how this game keeps stringing you along the roller coaster.

Honestly, I felt sad and hopeless because of a porn game... and I loved it. It was exactly what the writer wanted me to feel and I felt it, very well executed! And a little after the game gives you a glimmer of hope and optimism to keep pulling yourself forward.

This isn't even to mention how the characters all are living and breathing, all of them have their own voices and personalities... and they have their own motives etc. You can also choose with how deep you want to interact with Agapiy for instance. You can choose how buck wilde or not you can go with the main character Noemi.

The names are so fucking hard to remember how to spell xD. I can remember the sound of all the names, but I cannot fo rthe life of me spell "Agapiy, Midea, Noemi" without looking of the freaking names xD. But I love how Noemi can become this strong and driven girl, changing from a lazy layabout. But she never loses her personality, it just evolves.

I wan tto see what this studio puts out after this game... I imagine them moving onto GoDot or GameMaker and having a more powerful engine. I would love to see that game.

Gameplay
This is another one of those "visual novels" haha. It isn't quite a visual novel because you can move around, there are some "gameplay" elements and choices. I like to think of this more as an interactive CYOA game. There's no combat so you need to solve situations with other "means." Wich means you can actually sovle issues with wit and intelligent, or of course your body since it's an H-Game! I enjoy it. But if you don't enjoy games light on gameplay, you may not. I think the story is more than worth it, and there are some light gameplay elements to it that keep me entertained. Some grindy things like the Arcade advertising and such is annoying and a massive burden, I also don't understand how bravery works as I still can't lift my top/enjoy being groped taking pictures.... I assume it's tied to the Calix stuff, maybe its not completed.

The UI is dated RPG maker but it at least looks good. I love the way the menu has Noemi's passport. But I honestly had no idea some of the best UI elements existed. The H-Scene statistics and H-Scene Progress are incredible additions! Why is this not done more!? I know exactly where I am in characters progress, and the game tracks who you lost your V-Card to, even! These features are fantastic, but it took me SO LONG to even realize they were there xD.

Sound
Very... inconsistent. The prologue has some amazing music to it, I was digging it so much. Fit everything so well. The theme song for night-time is great. The Red Herring bar (did I get that right?) has a great song too. But then you get the just... almost out of place stock music. Stock music can be fine but some of it is too detached from the tone and nature of the game. I would like to see some better sound design and some better tracks in the future, hopefully when this project is making more money! I really think it deserves to get that money.

In Conclusion
I enjoy this game a lot. It has a lot of good to offer, and I'm not usually one to really like RPG maker games. But some of these RPG maker games have enough good that it's perfectly acceptable. There's few games where I really, really, want to see where the story is going. This one has enough mystery in it that I really want to learn more. The world is cool too. It reminds me of Automoton in that way, where I just want to consume more of this world. But Dilmur... definitely, stands out above any other NSFW game I've played in terms of subtle world building.

The funny thing is I don't even know if they really have much world design beyond flavour text! They might just be making it up as it goes with each characters arc, or they might have this whole world planned and designed. I can't tell, but that's how you do subtle world building. They've done it great.

I'd definitely recommend this as a pledge worthy game. Though I give a few points off for sound and such... I would like to give this more of a 4.5 than a 5, but it's a fantastic game as it is and I have no problems hitting the 5/5 rating on F95.

Overall 4.5/5.0

It's hard to find good corruption games out there, but this did the trick for me.

Really liked the characters and how they interact, plus the story line is actually quite good compared to the usual game here.

Highly recommend

Personally whenever I see "female protagonist", that's a skip for me.

Fortunately the graphics in Dilmur looked so interesting I decided to give it a try.

I had no idea what to expect, and turns out it's an absolute masterpiece of an adventure game. Being a female protagonist is done SO well in Dilmur that it's actually very sexy even to people like me who normally hate it.

HIGHLY recommend this game to everybody, it is unique and unforgettable.

Okay so first of all, my real rating for this game is a 9/10, not an 8/10 (4 star)...but we can't have a "four and a half star" rating, so imma stick with 4 stars, more on that later.

So the basic premise of the story is in the titular Cyberpunk city of Dilmur, you play as Noemi (the black hair girl in the first post pic...in case you don't understand) and you fuck up the Mafia's shit in the place your childhood friend are working and got yourself in a debt of 750 thousand dollar, (Now future dollars is, well for reference, a bottle of energy drink is 150, so you decide the buying power) plus it is also established that there is a serial killer out there fucking with the Mafia while a mysterious cop/detective person approach you and offer you odd jobs to work that somehow delay the debt due date...

Now with this setting, I half expected whoring myself out in order to make the dead line is something that will happen,
What is not welcoming is I don't know that, and kinda fall into a trance of working like nine to five in a game, and it become a habit I can't really break out of. (Like in the end of this version [v0.9], I end up making enough to pay the debt anyway...) This is the main reason I originally want to give this game a 9/10: The instruction on that part decisive me and I work my ass off for nothing...yeah it is petty, but instruction unclear, waste a bunch of time.
Despite this, the game is very "adventure-y" you can decide what to do next as long as you have enough action points, and if they are available.
There are so far three "romance" option, you can guess who they are base on the first post pic...one of them is kinda weird, but hey, I won't judge...and in fact I think that is very hot, especially after a certain "event" where he end up pissed with Noemi...
There is no "combat" in it, most of the threat in game are base on your decision, which is welcome for me.
I tends to hate RPGM combat, but that is just my opinion.

Now being a game on this website, how is the "good stuff"?
Well, it is fantastic. At least according to my taste.

I really love the main character and the expression she made when you choose her more "lewd" option. The only problem I have is this game is kind of "one sided" in the moral scale...you can't really become "that lewd".
Like I get it, if you are not lewd enough you won't do the lewd stuff...but even if you get as lewd as possible. The lewd things she did most of the time when you choose the "lewd" option. Is more of a "middle-ground" option in a more "hardcore" game,
I totally understand that this is a creative choice, but remember in the start of this review I say I can't really give a 9/10 base on this review system? So I settle with 8/10, consider that one extra point docked out because of the personal preference (or if you don't really care, than 9/10, pretend the above spoiler text didn't exist)
....but on the flip side, this also speaks of how much I like about this style, since if I don't like it, why do I care about that?

There is one more thing I like to mention is the "plotline" problem...and there is no way to talk about this and be spoiler free, so here it goes:
This end up doesn't concern me that much, since video game logic means you can leave these event untouched and just go on the side quest. Plus I don't expect it to change since the story is set. But I sort of hoping after that last unfinished mission/event. The tone of the story can be a little set back so I can do these side stories.
(If you don't care about the above "docked point" move it here, like either this or the last part thing make me -1 point to this game...but those are all very subjective choice I admit.)

Overall, despite there seems to have more negative then positive in this "review", that is because I really like the setting, the characters, and hope they can be done even better (or let's just be very fucking honest: done according to my personal preference, no review is completely subjective)
You can just assume I only point out the bad part and the rest is fine...yeah this review is long, but this game also long as well, it took me 14 hours to complete till the current version (probably due to me doing the same jobs everyday) despite I force myself to grind for no real reason, it is so far my favorite game in the RPGM genre...if that counts as a genre.

Great plot, graphics, dialogs, characters and their development, sexy heroine. It seems that the author embodies in the game "Icha-icha: Cyberpunk Edition". I started playing and could not tear myself away until I completed the game. The best thing is that the game always gives you the choice of which route to take, despite the lust.
If you like detective stories, working undercover, cyberpunk, humor, and between all these things(or even during ) to have fun and relax. This game is for you.

Played lots of games on this site and this one have the best female protagonist for sure. A lot of content accumulatrd over the years, 0,9 took 8 hours to finish. Even with free roam finding and geting to another scene takes often only few seconds cause of thought out short cuts. Mentioned boring daily stuff is mostly flavor and not required.

Sorry, but changing clothes, wash myself, making coffee, buying groceries and so on, such boring daily stuff I have already enough in real life. I do not need this in a computer game. In a computer game I want a good story, action and not simulate normal life.

Even though the translation of this game is sometimes a bit iffy, this is another brilliant Russian game in development with very slow updates. The art is great, the characters are lovable, the writing's good (save for the above-mentioned translation issues). Although this is technically an RPG, it is more akin to an adventure game. Absolutely follow this one if you have the patience!

One of the best RPGM out there honestly. Still lacking in content but the setting and drawing is top tier. If i could fast forward in the future when its fully done it would probably be a masterpiece.

I expected this game to be another boring RPGM game because of the experience I've had with these games. On my initial start of the game I was prompted with a 1 and a half-hour intro too and I literally dropped it because it was 4 am and I couldn't be bothered. The next day I picked it up again and I just want to apologize because this game was amazing. The intro which was 1.5 hours long felt more like 5 minutes because the story was so interesting. For any players looking for a game with a strong story element, this is perfect for you!

Gameplay:
All the grindy boring RPGM elements that I would normally find in these games are removed. The world isn't ridiculously big like some games I've played. Majority of the places on the map serve their purpose and the space is utilized. The game also has two essential buttons on the upper right hand corner that allow you to quick travel and change to morning/dark. So if anyone is going to play this but were hesitant because of the RPGM elements like a bunch of walking around no where then you'll be fine playing this because all of that is removed.

Characters:
Love all the characters. The main female protagonist is extremely likeable and this is one of the first games on this site I have played where I honestly just want to protect the main character. The other characters like Midea and Calix are also very interesting.

Art:
The art is better than my favourite anime, spongebob squarepants. But seriously. the art is good - 7/10

I'm going to watch over this game because I love it, keep up the good work!

I wasn't expecting that. This is the kind of game that will make all other game boring and uninteresting.

This game has a slow corrupting system that makes you want to go further and further. The art is amazing and the story interesting. This is not like the majority of the game where thing goes to fast and are unrealistic.

You play as a girl who discover her sexuality little by little. I've played 4 hours and I still have a lot of content to discover !

I definitely recommend this gem !

One of the best female protagonist RPGM games I've played, and I consider myself a connoisseur of those.
Version played: 0.7a

This game avoids many of the mistakes other similar games make, primarily where all women are retards and all men are rapists and the entire game ist just one instance of some dumb bimbo getting molested or raped after another. Also one of the few female protagonist games with a strong incest angle, so if you're looking for the VN where some teenage girl is trying to get her daddy to pop her cherry, this shit's got you covered.

Good: Art is decent enough and bountiful, suggesting that it's been in development for far longer than what the recent arrival on F95 suggests. Lots and lots of content. Original sci-fi setting. Writing and character behavior is far above average with an proactive female protagonist taking it into her own hands to make things lewd. And yeah, Anal with daddy.

Bad: Noticeably bad runglish in places. Slow and slightly grindy, mostly because RPGM means lots of useless walking around trying to figure out how and where to trigger the next event. Some of the earlier quests are especially confusing. There isn't really much gameplay beyond pushing sexual boundaries - to lewd or not to lewd. The Mechanics for that are wonky as well, the basic corruption stat gating much of the lewdness doesn't grow organically, but has to be increased with a separate mechanic rather divorced from the main game (which is doing spy type missions or lewding it up with dad or other characters)

Pro tip for playing: Before you do anything else, get all the money you need through trash restoration, and max out the basic corruption stat through the H-Games that you find before you proceed with the main questlines. Otherwise you will not be able to lewd all the lewds in the quests. Only progress with the main quests if you can't get any more H-Games.

I haven't play the latest version but I can tell it's gonna be good..
I only manage to play this on android (since I dont own a pc nor a laptop) the story is good, graphics are freaking smooth and it's really interesting and somehow funny, and it's safe to say that I can recommend this to some of my friends who happens to love this kind of game

Are you huge fan of corruption games and are looking for a really good one?
Have you tried The Humbling Experience, Valiant Warrior Astrid and Valentina's Story and now feel the hollow these games left because lack of updates?
This game may be what you are looking for and *surprise* it might even get finished.
This game accomplishes satisfactorily the corruption progress as it touches several of its aggregated themes such as exhibitionism and the popular incest.
My dudes, when Cyberpunk 2077 gets released people will be thirsty for porn in this kind of theme and Dilmur is already ahead of this.

(based on 0.7)

Holy shit, this HAS to be one of the greatest games on here. The interface is silk, no boring/repetitive daily tasks you NEED to do (ex. Elena's life), and the art is spectacular. My most favorite thing is the event popup over locations, it makes the game easy to progress and not having to constantly check every single location. Noemi is an amazing protagonist to corrupt, and the Lust points aren't to make her a bimbo - just more sluttier haha. I easily have more 9+ hours in this game. I'm disappointed in myself for not checking this out sooner!

TL;DR: Awesome interface, game tells you where events are happening, dope protagonist, and I already sunk 9+ hours in this. If you like female protagonists, you'll fucking love the shit out of this.

0.6b version:

So much content in this version and the content is phenomenal. Easily the best RPGM game I've played and one of the best games in this genre. The art is very very good and every animation was worth watching (no recycling of one scene for different encounters).
The writing is top and the delivered story is very immersive, so much that I would definitely play a game like this without any mature content. In some scenes these hentai scenes are just a plus on the storyline.

I can't wait for new updates from this obviously talented developer.
5/5

I was first intrigued by this game when I saw the splash art. A poor method for finding new games to try, perhaps, but one that served me well in this case, as I am something of a sucker for cyberpunk titles. The initial tag list and description dampened my interest somewhat - a handful of sentences, references to a dating simulator, and less-than-polished English - but the art was pretty and the other reviews were mostly positive, so I figured it was at least worth some of my time.

This was absolutely the correct decision.

The non-RPGM art for the game is absolutely fantastic. Well-rendered, anatomically correct, and reasonably proportioned men and women, with expressive faces and a wide variety of scenes, poses, and costumes. The game is not limited to the standard "make a generic pose and overlay everything on top of that" syndrome that often turns up in games with limited artist time. The RPGM side of things is a little less impressive, although I must give credit to the level designer for making good use of the generic assets and laying things out in a way that makes the world feel "real," as opposed to what makes the world easy to script. Clutter and details are present but not blocking, so I don't feel like I need to pick my way through barely-visible doodads.

Gameplay-wise, this is essentially a visual novel. Very few of the choices the player makes are meaningful, at least in the content available, and the few times we do get choices, they're "pick the right option or game over." The frustration is dampened by the inclusion of a checkpointing system that's very forgiving, but it does make this into more of a story delivered via RPGM than a game proper, at least in the content available so far. There are a couple of systems in place to track progress, and while there's a little bit of grind, it's pretty easy to get through and the rewards are frequent enough that it doesn't feel frustrating.

The writing is both the greatest draw and my largest complaint about this game. On the upside, it has believable characters, a slow and steady corruption, and while many of the NPCs are caricatures, they're well-written ones, so it doesn't feel like I'm playing in a world of cardboard cutouts. The downside is that the writer is clearly a nonnative English speaker, as the writing is littered with atypical diction and incorrect article placement. The quality of the writing does shine through the mistakes, but the mistakes are still present.

While I normally play H-games with the sound off - there's only so many badly ripped moans and awkward splooge effects one can hear before getting sick of them - I strongly suggest people leave the sound on here, if for the atmosphere if nothing else. The combination of low ambient and background jazz that makes up the bulk of the soundtrack adds a dash of noir to the cyberpunk, and it's an excellent addition.

Overall, a pleasant experience, and one I look forward to continuing as development continues.

Recommended for: Story, writing, atmosphere.
Not recommended for: Quick faps.

Edit: Forgot to mention, there are a couple bugs - nothing showstopping, a couple repeated dialog lines, some sequence breaking, a few misplaced markers, and some missing bounding boxes the player can slip through - but bugs nonetheless. Hopefully they'll get fixed as development continues.

Hidden jewel that you don't wanna miss, if you are the one who likes well written stories with immersive storyline, lovely art and interesting gameplay.


(Has great potential, hopefully doesn't get abandoned.)
(might be small and neglected thing, but i really like that save cap is set to 99, for those who like to save a lot)

Best game so far for me with RPG and storyline
Gameplay 9/10
Erotic arts with movement simulator 10/10
Character design 10/10
Hope for pregnancy system, character customize and more hardcore option like scat, gangbang and lesbian.
Can not wait for future update.

gameplay: well done

story: very good

characters: nicely done

draws : very good

scenes (erotic ones): very hot.

conclussion: a nice visual novel, that looks like a rpg. the main character feel so autentic
and the relationships that she have. the story is easy to follow and you barely need to check the guide inside the game.

this game deserve your time and money.
