RPGM - Fragile Innocence [Ch. IV v0.6] [Dark Love]

Review for: Ch. IV v0.6


I write this review 10 hours in, I would like to finish the game, but I simply can't. Not because I'm out of patience (Which you really need lots of) but because the game is simply broken, filled to the brim with HARDCORE minigames which are hell on earth, no hints, no shorts cuts.

Just guessing, waste of time or in my case right now, literally just broken (I'm at the minigame with spamming in action button)

I think the game suffer from something I call "Wanna-be-a-normal-game syndrome" where the dev only play normal games and never touched a h-game before, so it focuses only on what he knows "I add this!""And It wouldn't be cool to have that? "I remember in that game it was that, let do it!" "And that too" and from time to time "Oh, yes yes, it's a porn game, some porn here.. ok back to adding random bullshit minigame, they will love it!"

In his mind the dev is creating a masterpiece to blow us away, while he does that he forgets he must get us to blow our load.

So overall, don't play this game for porn or enjoyment, you will waste your time.
Play this only if you are a developer and want to learn what NOT to do.

For 5 years in development it's an aboslut shame the state it is in.

I like the game from the start. It was good in every way and to makr it easy there was a walkthrougj. However as it progress it become borring as the story and 30% of the discussions realy did not make any sences as they were not realy any signifficant to the game, The walk throgh ended and realy in the dark so you have to follow hints but than yuo cant save it ,,, have to paly for an hour before you get a chance to save it. As a player you are totatly screwed, The mini game have no instuction or hints so you are totalt fucked up...
By the look of it its a great story however the dev has to write up a walkthrough and let people enjoy playing by getting rid of those stupid mini game in the farm .. so I gave up in fustration and i cancel my subscription.

Edit: despite everything, this game is addictive. (Changed for 3 stars to 4 starts)

Amazing plot, renders and FMC. Love the build up and the corruption.

That being said the this games has a lot of drawbacks.

This game is way too hard to navigate and has a lot of grinding.

the game also lags and freezes very 20-30 mins. Due to the lack of autosaves. You will end up replaying many times because the game froze.

So why 3 stars? Because it's addictive. I would have given it 5 stars had it not been too difficult to play.

Rating 0.5/5 - ch 4 V0.6

PROS
The one and only redeeming quality of this game is the art-style,I'm not sure if it's part of a medieval pack for RPGMaker or homemade though.

CG aren't even that good and situations aren't particularly arousing either.

CONS
As others mentioned, the game is a poorly designed maze for no reason other than wasting YOUR time.It doesn't play on RPGMaker strength, aka freedom, side quests,hidden quests, secrets or a good custom combat system which is rare but possible.

So if you like linear quests which offer no difficulty but finding your way out of a maze your characters are supposed to know like the back of their hand, well, you just found your favorite game of all times.

For everyone else: just run, you fools!

PROS
- Art looks pretty, the colors in this game are really more vibrant than in the usual Daz game. Thats really well done. The animation is decent but can be janky at times. Only so much you can do given the 12 inch snake dicks in this game, any type of pose/animation will look weird with those things.

- Honestly, the lore and story holds up. I find myself looking forward to what unfolds next. The love interests might tend to be super perverted and kinda base their entire personality on trying to fuck the MCs but its a pretty interesting narrative - The MCs are super innocent as they were raised in a church setting but they're slowly getting corrupted by the other LIs, hence the game's name.

- Although the gameplay is strictly linear, the path your character takes isn't. You can make both MCs honest and loyal to each other or you can have them cheat with others, as of Ch4 v0.5, the loyal path is barebones but the cheating path is stacked in comparison. I like the love interests better anyway, the innocence of the MCs can get boring. At the very beginning of the game, the grandma tells a story of how 2 lovers seemed destined for each other but they eventually broke off and found love elsewhere so I hope this is a hint that we can make the MCs do the same.

- One nice touch is the dresses/clothes for the characters changes most days.

- Choices do kinda matter, mostly with the direction of your personality. I like how it shows your sexual history and who took the virginity of the specific sex act. If you are dom, certain scenes happens. If you are loyal, some things might or might not happen.

CONS
- Idc or mind that its RPGM or renpy or whatever. My issue (and I think the issue of a lot of players) is that is not really using the strength of RPGM. What people look for in a RPGM game is the extensive roleplaying mechanics like open-ended world to pursue multiple quests at your discretion, some sort of leveling/equipment system, merchants to buy and sell items/armor, and fun combat (that isn't spam attack button until the opponent dies, yes, I'm referring to this game's combat system). This game doesn't do any of that. Its not really an open-ended game. Once you finish Objective A, you MUST do Objective B, once you finish Objective B, then you MUST do Objective C, and so forth. Its pretty linear and you cant select what to do or pursue. Either go all in or make it a painless renpy game with minigames here and there. I think this fits the formula of this project. Whats very weird to say is that I see better combat in renpy VNs than in this RPGM game. Its like saying a plane does a better job at being a car than an actual car that designed to be a car lol.

- The combat is extremely barebones. 95% of the gameplay in this game is just walking to your destination or finding out where to go. I think this might be the reason most people give up on the game or don't even try it. Which is very unfortunate as I think he has a good thing goin here, just some design choices are horribly mismatched. The minigames are not really fun and moreso grindy. Some are bugged like the farming minigame, its wants you to button mash, but sometimes pressing the action button doesn't register into the game. So im button mashing like crazy but the game doesn't recognize it. Overall, I did not enjoy the gameplay.

- The penis size is just laughably and cartoonishly big. If the character performing a bj has her mouth so wide open you'd think she was eating a Big Mac, but the penis still clips through the jaw then you know its way too fucking big to the point its not immersive anymore. They essentially look like they are dislodging their jaws just to fit it in.

The author spent six years building a meaningless maze in an adult game.

Jesus, I hope the author really knows what he's doing.
On this site, there are two contemporaneous projects that are almost complete and interesting.

Honestly disappointed to rate this so low because it really has a lot of potential, but just feels like the game aspects are absolutely abysmal and an incredible deterrent to playing. There's no reason for most of these minigames to exist and the game is so buggy that half of them don't even work well and are just frustrating to play. Given that and the slow pace of the story, cannot say I'll be coming back to this one ever.

The pace of the game is very slow. I've been playing for 2 hours and I haven't had sex once. The experience so far has been exhausting. There is a lot of dialog but very few interesting events and choices. The map is huge and the missions keep telling you to go somewhere. It was a bit frustrating trying to find the characters as they kept moving around and the worst part is that I realized too late that I could teleport to areas by opening the map. Fragile Innocence also suffers from the same problem as other games made with the RPGM engine. It's not very clear what you can interact with while controlling the character, and when trying to interact, the character often gets stuck and doesn't move forward. It's very annoying when you try to talk to an NPC or go to a different part of the map and the character gets stuck and you have to click repeatedly to move forward. Another thing I personally don't like is having to managing two characters of different genders at the same time in a single story. This doesn't make much sense and ruins the role-playing system. I'm still not going to give it a very low rating because I haven't seen all the content of the game but I probably don't intend to continue further.

This has the worst map layout, that I have ever seen in my life. The English isn't very good either. I literally gave up in frustration just from navigating the horrible castle. I don't really care about the characters either.

As of V 0.3 Chapter 4
This game has a lot of potential. There are many plot threads that are being sewn. But that is just it, lots of threads being sewn for little payoff at the moment. Spent about 8ish hours to see most all scenes. The scene are decent, save for mostly teasing and implying more.

If the developer can weave it all together and start paying off the framework they continue to lay down this game could be epic. But until then, the juice might not be worth the squeeze. Especially because there are some very grindy moments, this is not an open world game, but a linear game disguised as an open world game.

Pros:
Nice story
It seems there will be decisions to make
No annoying sound/music
Even RPGM - characters looks unique (great detail!)
Nice setting
Satisfying rendering
The models are all original! It is hard to find a game that does not use the same model of other games, always at least 2 of their models are repeated.
The models have a very attractive appearance, both male and female
Isabella's personality is wonderful and perfect
Both MCs are extremely attractive, especially Isabella
The story is original and very interesting
The music is very attractive and is in harmony with the gameplay
Writing is very strong, you don't get tired at all, you don't have to deal with extra long writings
The atmosphere is great
MC (Isabella) is not a boring slut, she has a very heavy and attractive personality
And many other positive points
Most importantly, this game is logical! It means that you can communicate with him, everything has a reason and the reasons are logical
etc

--------------------------
in Prince Philip's story line all the girls are sluts, they doesn't have a strong personality, relationships between Prince Philip and other girls do not have sexual tension, they are a series of simple relationships without depth

but Princess Isabella's personality is Great, all relationships between Princess Isabella and other men have high sexual tension, the relationships are not simple and quick and porn-oriented, which is due to the rich personality of the princess.

This game is great, it is recommended to everyone
Unfortunately, few people know about the existence of this game

Clunky UI, needlessly big maps, dead empty hallways and lack of quest markers make navigating this game horribly frustrating.

If I want to play exploration, I will play Tomb Raider not a game about kingdoms and shit.

Not a bad game for fans of a leisurely, detailed narrative; the description did not lie about the story-oriented parts. However, there are some rough edges

Gameplay. How to say, it’s practically not here. The period of time during which we are given control of the character is moving from point A to point B (problematic at first, the map is at the development stage), and fights in the game today, roughly speaking, can be counted on one hand. The ratio of dialogue to gameplay is approximately 80 to 20. For many, this is rather a plus, but I am talking about this because it is difficult to confirm the genre stated in the description.

At the same time, there is a fairly detailed leveling with different skills, for which descriptions are ready. Most likely, developer is preparing a combat system, but at the moment, for 4 chapters the game will not offer you anything like that

Narration. A good, detailed story for this genre, with well-written characters. The characters are colorful and have a logical influence on the development of the plot, which is nice to see. But just like with the gameplay, it seems that the author is accelerating his ambitions. I'm talking about the fact that with each new scene there are so many characters that only a globally thought-out plot can justify the presence of such a multitude and variety of characters. Many of them still have very little screen time, but the author persistently continues to increase them, and if this is justified (which is quite difficult to do, complex plots require diligence), then it will be a big plus for the developer

Regarding the way the dialogue is written - well, if you like to dive into detailed discussions and descriptions, then this is definitely for you.

Visual. Average. Nevertheless, the models are attractive. There are, frankly speaking, strange images from the point of view of design, and here it is clear that the game leaves much to be desired. At the same time, there are not many slides themselves, and be prepared that you will read several paragraphs, looking at the same image. But for the variety and overall impression I give it rather a plus.

Overall, Fragile Innocence is a pretty game where the strong point is the storytelling. If you are not picky about slightly puppet-like visuals, and you are not bothered by the lack of proper gameplay in an RPG-style game, then try it.

From me 3.5/5 for the current version

Version Ch.IV V0.02

Played this for the first time, hours of play time and a large effort has gone into this project. At this point, tonnes of content.

What we have here is an adventure game, large maps, two main player characters a Male MC and Female FMC.

The two of them are royals promised to be married, both are chaste, virgin and devoted to being good, and staying away from dirty sexual stuff...I wonder how that will work out for them!

Graphics - The Dev has built a large complex world. The cutscenes are beautiful and well done, the characters all seem rather beautiful and the fantasy world seems to be rather nice. Most of the male characters seem to all have rather monstrous dicks, to the detriment of the story and graphics as they are on the ridiculous side. Everything else seems to be on the believable side and you can get into the story being told...and then a completely monstrous dick comes to play and it comes off as being absolutely ridiculous. Really, Dev you could have went large, even overly large for your story, but the sizes in this are stupid.

The countryside, castle and maps are very large and although you can get used to them as you play (especially from the beginning) they are too large and some cleaning up of the maps, markings and the castle should be laid out better - after playing from the beginning, at the end I was cruising around and it was easy to find what I was looking for. In the beginning I hated it, and there really isn't a reason to make things this complex.

Gameplay - you move around and the in game journal keeps you pretty much on track. From cutscene to walk around to cutscene. I was good with that, and it was enjoyable.

The large negative in the gameplay was the cutscenes can be long, and interconnected and in the middle of them they have decisions that need to be made that have implications for the future, and you don't really have an opportunity to save before to try new things, or try to figure out what points you want to go. There are a few decisions that have major implications for future scenes and it is not intuitive and so far I wasn't able to find a current walkthrough which I feel is needed as decisions have major implications for gameplay.

Next negative is some of the gameplay map navigation and the dreaded farm activities - the castle needs to be remapped, but the farm stuff - wow, the most draining experience I have found in all the games that were not labeled a grindfest. The farm, weeding, planting, watering thing...cut out 95% of that and it would be fine.

The plot - this is a slow corruption game for the two main characters. Even with the slow progression (at this point neither has had vaginal sex yet) there is lots of activity and other NPCs are getting some. It is an enjoyable progression and a very good story.

As we are progressing towards both of them cheating on each other (small stuff has been happening) but you can tell this is the direction. Some different routes are available - I didn't try them all - mostly focusing on the slutty side. So far no cuck stuff (thanks) and it seems the cheating will be a natural progression when it happens, hopefully from my perspective I hope for a good cheating path, with a potential for both a reconciliation route or alternate LI endings for each of the two characters - without humiliation or cuck stuff. (my preference).

A growing world, with lots of stats, magic possibilities, talent points, this seems to be a very complex game in the works.

Even with the issue with the overblown castle, farm insanity, and issues with trying to interpret all the possible decision changes without a good walkthrough - amazing game. The work that has gone into this is very impressive and I found myself really enjoying the story (the fucking INCREDIBLY HUGE DICKS were really a downer and cringe for what otherwise is great art and a fantastic story)

There are times I wanted to rate this a 1 star because of some of this issues above (they are frustrating), but overall this is an incredible game and thus 3 stars for the work, quality, potential and effort - but players should be aware of the issues.

I hope this project continues, and the Dev spends some time fixing up things before he gets deeper into the story. Easily could be a 5 star game if some fixes were done.

I'm not as pessimistic as some of the more recent reviewers seem to be, but I also haven't been playing this game since when it was first being developed over 4 years ago.

That said, the farming section really is egregious though and needs to be shortened. An option in the settings to increase movement speed would help in navigating the castle as well.

I'm still interested in seeing where the story goes from here though since I still like the characters and the pace of corruption so far. I also assume that as development continues the talents and skills will be properly fleshed out and the gameplay won't be such a drag like it can often be currently.

Ok, I finally gave up.

The dev actively aims to piss off his players. You spend 90% of your "play time" searching where you need to go. That castle is a nonsensical atrocity and if you finally escape it and visit town, you'll end up walking around aimlessly again. It's all trial and error until you finally find someone willing to talk to you.

On that note, the story never goes anywhere either. It's disjointed events that don't blend into an overarching story at all. There's no sense of urgency, it's all so... bland?

And if you play it for the H scenes, which isn't unreasonable after half a decade of 'game', let me just say... you'll be disappointed.

This game is a fucking maze with a shitty map. Just include a "teleport to quest target" button or something because I can't believe anyone has the patience to navigate the confusing ass castle. Tedious and confusing, not worth your time.

I like the game as is, characters, renders, story whatever.
BUT the game has a glaring issue,the MAP and its very important.

The layout is poorly donne, while admirable to take on such style, too muchclutter that doesnt help you know where to go, yes it says u have a mpa but the map isalmost useless as its layout is different to where you enter and u have to visualize and connect the entrances yourself.

That's the only reason i rate it low but i did enjoy the game a couple of hours of gameplay but the map is just tedious to workaround an is a bignecessity inrpgm games.

Pretty much everything u could want in a dual protagonist corruption game. Most rpgms these days are lazily done where u have to spend hours on guides to know exactyl what to do and where to go. This is a rare exception where the next required solution is presented every step of the way with very linear and easy to understand progression. I absolutely cant wait for the next few updates
