    I really enjoy this game, but there are a lot of reasons you might not.

    First and foremost, considering the site we're on, it's not very erotic. While this game has erotic content, this is not an erotic game. If you've got a very very particular taste in porn, you might get your jollies off, but realistically you won't. Pretty much every erotic encounter has some twisted horror aspect to it.

    Second, while this is an RPG maker game, it isn't really played as an RPG. This is a survival horror game. If you try to play it like Darkest Dungeons, the game a lot of people in this thread compare it to, you'll have a very bad time. This is more like Silent Hill. The monsters are terrifying monstrosities, and while you can beat them quite easily with some of the weapons and powers you can find in the game, for the first half of the game or so most of them can absolutely murder you with exceptionally little effort.

    Third, there is an aspect of RNG to the game. You are never required to do anything in game that uses the game's coin flip mechanic, so it's totally avoidable, but in it's in the game a lot and some of them can instantly kill you. This game is a rouge like and relatively short, so a lot of deaths should be expected, but each of these instant kill situations are entirely avoidable once you understand how they work.

    On the point of this being a rouge like, saving in this game is challenging, at least until you're quite strong. The only stationary save point in the game has a 50/50 chance of running you into a late game enemy. If your strong enough to win the fight though, he doesn't respawn and from then on saving is free. Effectively this means that games where you've made a lot of progress and gained a lot of power are much easier to save in and avoid losing that progress, but early in the game when there isn't nearly as much to lose, saving is difficult.


    All in all, the game is really rather fun if you enjoy the genre of survival horror, but otherwise mark it as a miss.

    CONS:
    1) NO porn. I mean it. Some dicks and tits. Occasional (gay) pixel fucking after which you die.
    2) VERY slow pace of the game: walking, combat, ass fucking--everything is slow.
    3) VERY fast dying, because of OP monsters and RNG.
    4) NO strength progression (at least initially).
    5) On top of that: NO saving. LOL.
    (well ok, you can save having a single-use Book of Enlightenment in your inventory, but it takes ages of real time to reliably get it, including several restarting)
    UPD 1.4.1: Just try to perceive the following:
    it took 2+ years for a developer to understand that his game needs a saving system. Two freaking years!
    And that is not the only ridiculous error in this game design ;)

    PROS:
    1) Maybe art.
    2) Maybe setting.

    CONCLUSION:
    Waste of your time.

    P.S. Darkest Dungeon allows tactics and planning to win. This game allows… well… nothing to win.

    P.P.S. If you really wanna try this game: go against your heart and at least use Cheat Menu to ‘conjure’ a number of books that allow you to save.
    You'll be grateful for this advice, I mean it!
    (And yeah, you may even grow any extremity by turning on/off some switches).
