This is the single most rage inducing game i have played recently. The "combat" is trash, the exploration is worse having to use enemies to move around the environment sounds good but its terrible when you have to sit through a 5 minute animation because the "combat" has a shit mechanic and should just be a SIMPLE struggle to get away and NOT a 5 min endeavour of press button to rythem.

Can we get an active map so we know WTF we are supposed to be going?

The purple tentacles still reach way to far needs more nerf. i have not gotten to the beelady place cos i keep getting grabbed by a thousand fucking tentacles and having to press a single button for 5 min trying to escape.

And then the game crashes randomly.

Will wait for update, game has promise but being unable to escape from enemies is just agonizingly annoying, I've managed to level vagina skill to like 10 because its impossible to escape the 50 tentacles down the bottom can't even get to where the other sutff is because the bee women dont hold you for long enough and the tentacles just never let you go.

Love the art style and ideas, hate the mechanics. Traversal is basically RNG based on whether the correct NPC happens to come by and can navigate to the player without falling off or locking itself behind terrain.

I'm already bored & confused.
Why are the controls abysmal & why is everything out of place?
I'm walking on air...

Are you sure this a finished product?

It's a tech demo for now. Congrats on the impressive glitch!

 

[xSmoth]

They really need to rework on the mechanics of the game and maybe add a gallery? but seriously the game right now is quite annoying

 

[BananaCustardCup]

Yeah I have to agree with others, I don't want to be a hater and shit on the game, I want to like it, as it's got some fantastic visuals and animations, but I really don't understand how you are supposed to beat the "enemies" in this game.

I know that it's like a "rhythmic battle", but sometimes the rhythms seem to change random and are really hard to keep up with, and I still don't know exactly when I actually need to hit the button; like when with a tentacle, is it on full peneration? It *seems* to be, but then on something like the flower enemies the same thing doesn't seem to work, and as mentioned, the rhythm seems to change constantly at random so it's super hard to figure out. The worst is probably the bee girl; there's a constant rhythm for about 3 seconds or so that I keep up with, then it just stops, and occasionally does a "beat" with any seeming rhythm to it... I end up reacting to the ring appearing, which is very tight timing and there doesn't seem to be much other visual input, and I then usually lose.

Also, when I do occasionally win a "battle" (which seems entirely dependant on good RNG during the rhythm changes), why does the PC's orgasm meter keep increasing when the enemy cums? It means it's full on next enemy and you immediately orgasm, like every time. Also sometimes, I'll have the enemy's cum meter to max but it doesn't end for a good 5 seconds even when hitting inputs, which then maxes mine out and sometimes I'll lose? It's thoroughly confusing, and feels like I'm doing something wrong but can't work out what.

I also don't really understand the edging, I get it stops the orgasm meter, but it doesn't seem deplete it, and because it doesn't stop it long enough to actually win a battle, just delays the inevitable, so I don't really get what's it meant to do? Am I just supposed to be faster?

It seems like the "best" way to win the battles is to just wait, which isn't great as it takes ages and sometimes doesn't work, but I don't really see a better way as doing inputs just punishes you by making PC cum faster unless you're perfect/lucky. I think there's a real solid game under all this, just it needs to be better explained how the battle system works and just be easier too.

But after 3 "battles" u end up losing and going back to the last save point which is mildy infuriating

Yup, makes it very difficult to make progress.

I did some practising last night and have sorta managed to get some enemies down, mainly the tentacles and flower enemies, and managed to grind my way through to complete (I think) all content in the game so far (up to mouth shop and complete the plant farm sidequest. I found the optional arena bossfight but I found it impossible), but it was a slog.

My biggest issue I keep getting is even when I've worked out how to defeat the enemies (sorta), they still often max out my orgasm bar during the cum scene (I've noticed it most with the flowers), even if it was empty just before that, so the next enemy almost guarantees an orgasm... so I can only actually "fight" 4 enemies (5 if I'm lucky). And stuff like the bee and frog girls destroy me as they still seem to have no pattern at all.

I just feel that these fights are so difficult that you can't even focus on the scene, which is what you're here for after all... porn games shouldn't be really hard. Maybe the first time you encounter a new enemy it should be challenging, but you can quickly work it out and power through, you're after the animations after all.

This game is the epiphany of doghist gameplay shoved forcefully into a nice concept

 

[Limbix]

Release date of the next update/demo is up on patreon, it's behind a paywall update though so all I can say is that it's incoming

 

[kayun_W3]

Dev, the animation is good. But the damn rhythm button thing is not it man

 

[Anongoog]

Nice art and gameplay and all but is this game mining bitcoin or something? Other games don't heat up my laptop this way or this fast

Complete shot in the dark, you have a form of VSync enabled? I can't speak for whether it mines but it's very possible you have unlocked FPS which will 100% make your laptop run hot.

 

[Deleted member 4571065]

I just played this for a while. could not get past the first area because of the mechanics. It's obvious the dev uses cheats because that is the only way to get literally anywhere in this game. It's a shame because the art is so good, so much wasted potential. I've completely lost interest and based on any one page of commentary here so have a lot of people. Like I'm trying to beat off please don't annoy the fuck out of me while I do that.

 

[Very Lewd BeaR]

Anyone else getting a black screen when trying to put the game on full screen from the options? It just goes blank until reverted to the tiny window.

I'm not sure what resolution you have on your computer. my system is 1920x1080 and I never had an issue. Besides not being able to enjoy the gameplay when it worked flawlessly.

 

[Very Lewd BeaR]

2560x1440, but lowering it to 1080 doesn't seem to make change to the problem. Does it stretch across the screen in full or have black edges for you?

Hey y'all,

The second demo release is out now and hopefully addresses the main problems you've noticed. Rhythms should be easier and the Guidess at spawn has a tutorial that you can replay as much as you like, entities don't start animations until you're horny or you're playing on Hard, there's a minimap so you don't get lost as easily anymore, and entities are added to the player menu so you can read what they do. There's also an auto-rhythming toggle in the accessibility options if you need it or if you just prefer it. There's plenty more in the devlog on the Disrobia Itch page (I can't post links without mod approval until like my next post or so), but here's a copy/paste of the changes:

I'm reading your feedback, so if you have any thoughts on the second demo, please do share them! My goal is ultimately to make a pleasant and sex-focused game, so I'll continue making improvements by listening to your feedback.
