Game is already fully released. This is just the demo.
OIC, then waiting for someone to share it hopefully :p

The Devs explicitly marketed it on Steam as 'Hades like', it shares all the same tags and is linked in the "games like you've played" directly. i.e. if you own or have played Hades, loading up the Drake's Dungeon storepage will tease it.

This means the Steam algo is set to push the game to accounts with large playtimes / algos that match that own Hades. That's how tags / the algo works, ffs.




Also, yes, it is an artstyle. She's been doing it for 20+ years, and is well known in the biz.



This was blatantly a NSFW LGBT+ Hades rip-off, and there's nothing wrong with that, but they managed to 'employ' some Discord muppet from the UK whose claims to be able to code turned out to be... well. You've seen the screenshots.

Anyhow, it's really not my sexual thing, but I'd strongly suggest getting the .PDF / VA version and not the Steam game, since that's where the quality and smut are. But it's woefully under-cooked for the asking price & $21k CA buy in it already took (~$900 / scene, not a bad rate).
You didn't say "the game is a 'Hades rip-off'". You said:
It's oozing quality, 100% "Hades" inspired art work.
I was not arguing about the game itself, just point out the ignorance from that statement.
If you claim "Hades" is an Art-style, Can you kindly describe what makes a "Hades art-style"? And naming a few artists that use such artstyle, rather than Jen Zee???

Also, we all know "Hades" is a legit Game, their Pricing Tag is much more reasonable than Porn games.
You gave me an example that a Porn game Is charged fairly purely based on it's game play.

I'm not sure if you're being ignorant or merely obtuse to 'win an argument on the internet', but since the release there have been numerous media pieces on the subject. Here's one from 2020, from a 'leading' games magazine:

To argue that Hades did not have an impact on the art direction of many titles is just... bizarre. The entire canon (from Transistor through Pyre to Hades) has had a massive impact on the industry, moreso if you consider the massive fan-fiction inputs via Tumblr etc. The style is so commonly copied that even Chinese companies have made clones.

Here's one set to release this year: Demo, release in 2024. Looks .... strangely similar.

Also, we all know "Hades" is a legit Game, their Pricing Tag is much more reasonable than Porn games.

You want me to give you a list of fairly priced quality pr0n games with the emphasis on being more game than VN? Like, are you paying me for my expertise or what?

Recently, try Flipwitch, metrovania, $15.

Less R rated, but still in the realms: Momodora: Moonlight Farewell, metrovania, $17.

Both of those are good games, accurately priced to market with NSFW themes / content. If we're doing good games with a bit of irony Price for Freedom ( ) looks like it's coming to a conclusion, and... it's free. Ironically enough. But also a decent stab at a traditional cRPG format and was pretty good last time I looked.

Literally arguing rubbish. Grow up, it's ok to just be wrong on the internet, I'm not your father so you're not disappointing me.

Anyhow.

If you're looking for just the .pdf without the voice files or game, I'd suggest places like . In Hotcha's case, you can clearly compare his work from 2015 (e.g. ) with 2020 to 2022.

Putting it generously, he's learnt a lot from Overwatch, Hades etc. His entire art style is based on copying other people's styles.

Enjoy the Yaoi, but the game is a blazing trash fire I'd not go near.

Even the quote you used to make this statement does not state they are using "Hades art-style" just Hades inspired... There's no limit to what anything or anyone can be inspired by, if you don't feel as if the inspiration shines through the adapted work then that is subjective and doesn't need to be proven. If you don't see Hades, that's fine, but don't expect people to argue with you on the internet and provide sources so that you can feel your opinion is more valid.

Could someone who's got the full visual novel leave a short review please?
Concrete info about which characters have sex with eacxh other would be helpful
Can't just blindly spend that amount of money for that kind of content with as minimum info as provided by the artist

extracting assets will end up like this (or i'm just incompetent...)
all scene cgs are either badly cropped, shredded or static mess

The gameplay doesn't really appeal to me, so all I'm hoping for is a kind soul to share the VN version with us~
