RPGM - Completed - Headpats & Handholding [v1.05 FINAL] [Insomnimaniac Games]

A fair amount of VN struggle with showing "positive" growth (beyond the MCs magic dick fixing any problem), to the point that it is common for most games to ignore it entirely. Headpats and Handholding however, claims to be (mostly?) focused on that, which is where this earns its below-average rating.

The models are fine (I have seen much better and much worse). The biggest issue on the render side of things is the placement of characters during scenes? If that makes any sense. Having played a handful of games of similar ilk, I felt a weird sense of deja vu, which I can only attribute to the models being in the same (default?) position. This might not be an issue for some but it happened enough that I felt "something". that being said, the backgrounds themselves did not have the same effect, which is a positive.

My main issue with the game, however, is that it still largely fails to be more "wholesome" and, in my opinion, just comes off as "not as sociopathic as 99.99% of MCs," which once again would not be an issue if not for the fact that the "wholesome" aspect is both the titular pull and heavily emphasized in the synopsis. There can absolutely be a good amount of sex in a game while still having wholesome moments (both in sex scenes and in the story), but this lens heavily on the latter while the title, synopsis, and even the developer's signature imply it is the other way.

As a porn game, this is more or less average; it won't be your best game, it won't be your worst game, and you won't want to erase it from your memory or replay it asap. However, if you are a sick degenerate that prefers wholesome stuff, there is enough out there to make this below average even if you were to narrow down the field you compared it against.

V0.09

I like RPGM games because they are the correct mix of Story + Game play + Lewd scenes.
This game does all 3 pretty well.

The main highlights of this game is the star couple and their interactions with the other girls. A cute SOL story with dark undertones.

But my real reason for playing this game is @Insomnimaniac Games Quoted Vince.

MASTA PIECE in the making 11/10.

1) VTuber like overly simplified models not really look good in porn games, in my opinion.

2) Most of the map and character tiles generic that already used hundreds of times by other RPGM creators.

3) And the thing that triggered me, this game claims gray haired 20 years old look lady as "granny".

4) In the story part, the game both try to be funny, emotional, and "epic". But in the end, it fails both.

This game became one of my favorites on going projects in just this short period since it started
I just really like the characters and their interactions, I also love their model. The way the combat system works is also actually fun, I just like to experiment with different equipment and build in each character, so I hope we get more additions.
With that being said, I think my only complaint with the game is that the dialog can be a little too tacky sometimes. Sometimes is a joke that goes a little too long, other times is how there's way too much over-exposure on the characters' dialogs. Like, I get that the two girls love each other already, I don't think we need they to say it at every quest.

Those are my overall thoughts on the game. In general is really worth to play, and even the complaints I had are pretty minor when compared to the whole game

This is for version 0.02. There is a surprising amount of content for this early on, and the content that is there is excellent. There's a very nice mix of humorous and emotional dialogue, and for a game with such a degenerate title, it actually tackles a serious issue of self-acceptance. Honestly my only real complaint about the game is that the H-scenes are a little short, and that's more a personal preference thing than any real critique of the game. As for the combat, while I did do a little grinding, I never felt like I HAD to. All of the combat was doable, and the customization options from the equipment system looks like it will add a lot of depth to the game.
