A genuinely funny and captivating visual novel. If you are fan of the Arabian Nights setting and interesting characters, then this VN is a must play. Below are my thoughts on each of the major components of the VN.
Visuals
Backgrounds vary from incredibly detailed to OK, but none are bad enough to actually break your immersion. The character faces are the real stars of the show from a visual perspective. Character faces are very life-like, especially one particular Amazonian warrior princess, and express their emotions well. I think there is not as much detail on the character body, except in the erotic scenes, but this could be a technical limitation.
Character design is also great with each major character having a distinct look in terms of facial structure and attire.
Story
While the story is treading a familiar path, with certain tropes being relied upon, the nature and quality of the delivery is what sets the VN apart from others. Ideas are expressed succinctly and accurately, aided in no small part by little to no grammatical and spelling errors. If a commonplace story is told badly, that is a worse experience than a bad story being told well, and this is by no means a bad story. I will say that the next chapters should hopefully open up new lands and ideas, so we find ourselves forging a new narrative path, away from the well worn trails.
I should also commend the author on the tongue in cheek humour. Special thanks for the visual and aural effects that enhance the comedic value.
Characters
The stars of the show. Each has a unique personality and their own motivations. Their actions and words are consistent with past exposition. I feel that we have only scratched the surface for these characters and hope to see more depth to all major members of the cast. This includes the protagonist (some of which we have already seen), his companions, narrator, and the antagonists.
Conclusion
Exiles is an excellent VN with a bright future. The best compliment I can give is that I wish there were more VNs like Exiles. Can't wait to see what the Pants comes up with next.
Edit: One nit I do have is that the length of penile appendages is too long in chapter 1 (better in chapter 2). Kind of breaks immersion for me and personally does not add to any comedy.
