RPGM - Completed - Escape From Yandere Childhood Friend ~Let's Make a Baby~ [v1.1.1] [QRoss]

So i love crazy girls, i love weird and trippy stuff, the sexy schoolgirl yandere in this story is like a psychopath a crazy insane yandere that kidnaps the player and wants to have sex with him, if you are like me that realy turns you on, one of these fantasys we all like in storys and games but we never realy want to happen in real life, probably, the girls is like a perfect woman big boobs perfect body, if she would want to use me like some living dildo sextoy she would just have to ask, of course the boy in this game wants to escape from the sexy waifu... for some reason. I can not relate to this. You try to escape from the school lots of riddles to solve if you want to find the key, similar to escape room games cube escape if you played it this lets you do some hard riddles, like realy hard, i spend hours to solve some of the riddles in this, the yandere is trying to catch you all the time so it feels a lot like some escape the monster games you can get some fear or adrenalin from it because if she should catch you the game is over and you have to do everything again, so if you want to escape you always run if you see her it can create some feeling of fear like if you play a scary game, like resident evil, not because you meet scary monsters, just because if she should catch you you loose all the stuff you earned after hours of playing, "catch you" does not happen after she finds you, instead everytime she finds you you get a heart symbol if you have like 5 hearts the mc gives up and falls in love with her, that is seen as the player got defeated ending, but you do not just get a heart you get a sex scene, some are blowjob or you get tied up or she gives you drugs special sexy scenes can be triggered in special rooms, i could not beat the game without help of the internet the riddles are to hard. But good news you do not have to beat the game most sex stuff can be watched if you just stand still and wait for the yandere to catch you, imagine in real life if you want a girlfriend, just wait and the girl comes to youn and has sex with you just like that, all you need to do is stand still and wait, the sex is very good written dirty talk if you like soft femdom this is a nice game, i love riddles in these games, i prefer riddles over fighting in my porn games because i can relate more to guy that solves riddles i can not relate to strong warrior that defeats monster, also riddles are kinda fun if done well, this game sadly has riddles that are so fucking hard, you are likely to get bored and give up, i think beating the game is not important. If you like to fao to some scary crazy girl this is a game you should play, it turns me on so i liked it. 10 / 10

Honestly, I liked this game a lot. Despite the puzzles being a bit out there with their explanations the atmosphere in this game is pretty good. I really like the music (although I have no idea if they made the music or took it from something else). The whole concept of the game is what I like the most. In a sea of super fucking bland rpgm games this game is super unique as its more like a horror game akin to something like Ao Oni or Corpse Party. The hiding mechanic could use some fleshing out as you can't actually get caught when hiding even when there's like one locker in the room (maybe she's just a bit stupid). While it can be beat in no joke 5 minutes if you know what you are doing, the uniqueness alone for a porn game is what makes this game for me. I highly recommend this although always remember everyone's taste is different so while I did enjoy this game you may not.

As the reviewer below me thoroughly explained; the puzzles are so out there that you just have to wonder what in God's name the dev was smoking.

And I'm coming from old-school Silent Hill & Resident Evil games, so I'm used to obscure BS...

Additionally, yandere gal pops up every couple minutes to chase you, which is supposed to add to the fear factor, I guess?

...But that doesn't mean much when you can simply walk into the nearest classroom and jump in a closet to make her F off. (Rinse and repeat for the rest of the game)

And yandere gal is as barebones an archetype as you can get, nothing interesting or remotely special about her that makes you wanna stick around.

Did not enjoy the h scenes at all, very bland and uninspired. The premise looked good, if only the dev poured some love into it.

Would not recommend unless you enjoy puzzles such as:
"Bear-chan stole rabbit-chan's backpack but she said it was cat-chan so then wolf-chan asked what time cleaning duty is on Friday July 18" Now INPUT PASSCODE HERE:

Absolute nonsense, avoid.

Escape from Yandere Childhood Friend is what happens when a game developers pitches a decent idea, but then manages to whiff the hit with such ineptitude that they crack themselves around the skull with the bat.

The premise is relatively simple: As the MC, you are harangued by your Yandere Childhood Friend (ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL) and eventually knocked unconscious by her after visiting her room. Waking up on the rooftop of a school in some weird Mad Max dystopia, where the school has been ran through by Immortan Joe and his Warboys looking to score some breeding poon (As I assume happens yearly in Japan). Coming to, the MC realises he has been hoodwinked, he has been bamboozled, he has been led astray, he has been run amuck and he has quite possibly been flat-out deceived.

And so now, he has to escape. To escape, he has to solve a bunch of puzzles the Yandere Childhood Friend (c) has set him to find the keys to escape, all the while escaping her or else suffer the ignominy of rape.

And let's give the devs a hand, folks! The puzzles, which form the entire centre of the game, certainly seem to have been devised by a braindead yandere without a thimble of logic floating around their skulls!

Yes, the entire central premise of the game is solving puzzles. Except, the puzzles are so incredibly asinine and convoluted that it boggles the mind that somebody with a functioning brain could look at it and go "Yes, this is what I want my game to be". Some puzzles are simple, with the solution found in the same room, however the lions share of puzzles are: You find a sparkling place that needs an object placing it, so you run out into the hallway and into other rooms to find the object, you enter another room, you find a clue to an unrelated puzzle, you leave, you enter another room, you find another clue to an unrelated puzzle, you leave, you enter ANOTHER room, you find a puzzle to be solved that required the first clue you found, so you likely backtrack to find the room with the first clue to the unrelated puzzle to receive an unrelated item to a clue you have not yet found.

Let me give you an example: In the lategame, you find a lighter. To get this lighter, you had to find a score to a soccer game. To get this score to the soccer game, you had to place a soccer ball between two chairs. To get this soccer ball, you had to find a butterfly chair. To find this butterfly chair, you had to solve another puzzle and find a note that reads "2 AMOUNT. 4 MOON. BUTTERFLY.", and then input it into a puzzle that tells you to input the name of the moon insect.

Input "Butterfly". No, that would be logical, and QRoss doesn't do logic. Input "Moon Butterfly". No, that would be the second logical step, get outta here. The answer you have to input is "4 Moon Butterfly."

Yeah.

And you're doing this while escaping the Yandere Childhood Friend (tm) (c) (DONUT STEAL).

Escaping the Yandere Childhood Friend(tm)(tm)(tm) requires you to keep an eye on the indicator you get at the games start. It flashes three colours: Green for safe, yellow for caution, red for........even more caution, and loveheart for rapist inbound. The indicator will go down as you spend more time outside a classroom, and once the loveheart hits, you have to run into a classroom to find a designated hiding spot to outwit a yandere who has the intelligence of a used teabag since apparently they can't look under desks.

The issue is that the indicator switches on a whim and in a second. At one point, I had escaped from the Yandere Childhood Friend (tm)(c)(r)(tm)(tm) and hidden. I then left the classroom and the indicator immediately flicked to yellow, then to red, then to loveheart, in the space of three seconds. On another occasion, the indicator slowly went to yellow, then to red, so I went to an adjoining hallway which triggered the loveheart. And she spawned RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. At a third point, I went from one hallway to another while being chased (She has the power of teleportation so no reprieve), and she appeared to run up and then....teleported directly in front of me, catching me.

There's no directional indicator, nothing: Jus a vague colour-coded system that does nothing to help and rarely stays at green. On a very rare occasion, it can occasionally go from yellow to green. Why this occurs is never explained and seems to be more on a whim than from staying in a classroom for a set period of time.

And your reward for all this? One of three endings depending how much you got raped. Oh, and a bunch of alright CG's that are censored.

Except when you have a game this asinine and frustrating, "alright" doesn't cut the fucking mustard.

Is this game worth playing through to see an ending? No. Fuck no. God no. You'd be better off spending your time playing one of the thousands of other games F95 hosts that aren't the gaming equivalent of slamming your head repeatedly into a wall to hopefully break through to the other side. Games which have decent CG's or even animations that take a lot less work, trial and error and logic defying than this garbage.

Just lose a bunch of times, get the stupid CG's and get the bad ending. Don't bother even trying to play this heap of garbage.

It's not worth your time. And the only way you'll actually manage to jack off to this is if tears of frustration is your preferred lube.

this game is super cool the story is good and the puzzles are nutcrackers .It even brings new concept for future developers and i love it. (before you ask yes i play this game and i would only fix that phone radar from random colors to time be cos i was caught more then ones from that girl when she spawn right on me or next to me)

The rating is actually a 5/10, but again. This website still doesn't allow you to rate a "half star" rating, so I will settle with a three-star.

So this game offers exactly what it said on the tin, like you really need more explanation:
You are running away from the crazy, and that is about it.
Like we need more story detail...except the setting is sort like in some alternate dimension or reality.

The nearest comparison I can think of (a non-porn game) is Corpse Party (that doesn't break the Reviewing Rules, it is not a porn game.) Like this game remind me of one of the new corpse party, you run around a weird school solving puzzles and trying to get out while facing threads...but instead of brutal deaths and corpses, you get sex scene...yeah.
I think the hentai scene is lacking in numbers when you consider how often you can be caught, but it is quite decent overall...just the usual mosaics blocking everything sucks.

So how is the gameplay other than "it is similar to Corpse Party"?
Well...that is when the problem occurs.
Corpse Party is already pretty tedious with the puzzle, it is the narrative holding that game forward.
But since this game has a weaker story, you can expect to find a walkthrough after like the 3rd floor (second level, roof included)...or try to solve everything until you pull all your hair out.

I manage to pull myself together until the last level (the game is not long, only like less than a handful of levels) then I completely lost it. I can't even explain how these puzzles works. How do I solve it?
I am no Arin Hason, I follow instructions and have a ridiculously high tolerance to shit game mechanics, but I still can't find out how shit works in the last level...and hell some level have things beyond simple math logic.

Here are some examples of what I am saying:
I mean, there is a slight chance I am a dumbass and completely miss everything in the last level.
But hey, this is my review. And consider how many stupid people can speak freely online, why can't I?

To sum up my impression to the puzzle in (the last level) of this game, I will borrow someone else's review quote
"...I designed a few point-and-click adventure games. If you're thinking of having a go at making your own, here's my hot tip:
First think of a problem that the player has to get around like, say, helping a cat get down from a tree,
Then think of how a normal sensible person would solve the issue with the objects that would be close to hand,
Then seal your head inside a half-full vat of boiling chlorine for about twenty minutes
Then write down another way to solve the problem that at that moment makes perfect sense to your probably fatally poisoned mind.
...
Why? Because adventure game developers can't cum unless they're picturing the frustrated tears of people who used to trust them."
(Zero Punctuation, the Walking Dead)

Which is a real shame, since there are some solvable puzzles and fits the theme. That is another problem with this game: There is a fair amount of puzzles that don't fit the yandere theme at all. They are just nonsense or school theme ones. But that is the least of our problem when you can't solve them in the first place.

So tl:dr, if I have so many problems with the puzzle, why the 5/10?
Well, I love the concept, and it's simple story works.
I am kinda surprised there aren't more games base on this idea.
The hentai scene is nothing too "special" but it is fine.
And despite I think a lot of puzzles operate on "I just have to guess your logic in order to make shit work" I still solve most of them until the last level which I basically do a sequence break and get to the ending...in the above spoilers part.

So yeah, I won't say it is a "bad game" if we go by 90s adventure game logic. But in modern standard, the puzzle is too problematic if you don't know what is it about...and for me, it is the simple concept and story that balance out the problematic gameplay ( I mean mostly the last level, the rest is fine...but I can still see how confusing if you don't get it.)

To end this review, I will like to talk about this one question:
Why? Why will anyone want to run away from her? She is madly in love with you, will do anything for you, and want your babies. Plus she looks fine, what is the problem?
Well maybe for a friendless shut-in who actually really needs some company, we just want someone, anyone to be with...especially those who really want us.
I know since I am one.
But I can also understand the normal people's viewpoint:
They have a life besides this one girl, and they need to protect their friends and family...so yeah, here is your answer, whoever asking this in the threads.
