    I think the game is pretty good overall.
    The story is okay, voice acting is fine, and the gameplay works well.
    The female character is really cute and likable — that helped make the game more enjoyable.
    But the graphics were a bit disappointing. It looks blurry on my 2K screen and doesn’t support fullscreen, which made the experience feel less immersive.
    Not perfect, but I still had a nice time with it.

    We're going to have to divide this review into two parts.

    1. The Game Proper:

    Herbal Healing is a cute story of how you, an injured man, gets pampered by a petite and sweet pink-haired girl called Millie (ミリィ).

    From a relationship of childhood friends, it gradually escalates into one of sweet lovey-dovey romance.

    In practice, it is half a clicker-- or rather, wait-to-click idler, where you wait for leaves to show up and click on them to get more herbs, then you either reinvest to get better returns from leaf clicking. This becomes currency you can use at the store, along with another.

    The other currency is hearts, or I suppose we can call it "affection." This is initially gained by asking the girl to pamper you, but later on you get the ability to touch her in areas to gain a certain percentage of your affection multiplier as returns, or through sexual acts.

    Getting pampered gives you up to 5 ticks of the stated amount of hearts, multiplied by your multiplier per scene. Sexual acts just give you a bonus based on how many times you made her cum. Service acts are in-between; low-cost (you need to build up the horny gauge to get her to do anything) but will only give you the stated amount x multiplier for affection.

    Lategame will just have you spamming these scenes.

    While the art is serviceable and the girl is cute, the scenes are probably pre-recorded; you also can't really move the camera around. Hope you can fap to it. The voice actress is pretty comfy though, and for its stated purpose, it can do a bit of emotional healing if you let her pamper you.

    2. The Translator's effort.

    I'd give this game 3 stars really, but thanks to the Translator's effort, I think this can be considered a prime specimen of top-tier bepinex/xunity translator finagling.

    All lines are translated, and they are sorted in proper notepad files. Each individual image is translated where applicable, and Bepinex injects the thing as it goes.

    If you want to study how to use autotranslator to translate a Unity game, this would be a very good game to reverse engineer.

    Too slow. The fact you have to sit and wait for the hearts to gather or the leaves to pop up makes this too much of a timesink to be worth the animations in the game. If the dev allowed for an easier way to gather resources that would make this playable. At this point with like 30 minutes in the game the only thing I have unlocked is head pats... I'd rather not feel like this is just mining off my PC.

    Herbal Healing [v1.01]

    You fall down a cliff, end up injured and your childhood friend end up caring for you. game is focus on your recovery, she'll take care of your injury and pamper you while you just enjoy and fuck her in meantime. the gameplay itself is a waiting game, gather herb? you wait for herb and click it, get love points? you click and wait, if heart not increased anymore, you back and do it again. both has tipical upgrade to get more like in click game too.
    The story is just about you and your childhood friend tipical stuff where she fell in love with you since forever, she'll pamper you to hell, even i felt like someone who down bad hearing her trying to pamper you, i rather being pampered by milf. as story progress she'll do sexual stuff to you, i expect the mc do it, but i guess man too weak to do it. this is where you clicks a lot, sex? do clicks, put her to the mood? clicks.
    I coulnt finish the game because of slow it is and how annoying the mechanic are. overall :

    Pros
    +
    Animated
    + Good art
    + Healing type of game

    Cons
    -
    I cant fap to this
    - Clicking
    - So much waiting
    - Slow paced game

    TL;DR: You get injured and your devoted childhood friend takes care of you while falling deeper in love. The game is basically a clicker/idle style—gathering herbs, earning love points, and initiating sexual scenes all require lots of clicking and waiting. The story is simple: she's been in love with you forever and pampers you excessively, eventually leading to intimate moments. If youre into heavy pampering and slow-paced gameplay with lewd elements, this is your thing.

    Just gonna be a quick review , but there are several issues with this game.

    First off: Don't let the description fool you. This is not a "clicker" game. This is a wait around to click things game. The main goal is to collect affection and medicine. To collect medicine, you go to a field and wait for leafs to spawn (2-3 seconds), which you then click. You get bonuses and different leafs to unlock that speed up the amount of medicine you get per leaf, but this is definitely not a traditional spam click game. For the affection, you click on the affection event and then wait around for about 30-40 seconds. That's it.

    Secondly: This game takes WAY too fucking long for the amount of content it has. I've unlocked maybe 3 affection events in about 20 minutes. Most of that time spent was with the game on in the background waiting for the affection event to end.

    Lastly: The art is at least good and it runs well. Can't change the window size in the option settings, maybe there is a config somewhere, I'm too lazy to find it.

    Overall: 2/5 - Game takes too long and is held back by intentional barriers to make you wait around to pad the time it takes to complete the game. The art is nice and it's voiced, but not worth it. Find a gallery or a save or something idk.

    So, overall game is nice and cute, animations are well done, girl is adorable, story is minimalistic but warm, but there is a big caveat here.

    It's a clicker game.

    You fall down a cliff, end up injured and your childhood friend end up caring for you. Gameplay loop consist of 2 things, gathering herbs and and watching animations to gather hearts, with every new animation available after next "clickwall".

    I don't think it will be a controversial opinion to say that most people find clicker games very boring mechanically and in terms of progression, and this one won't be exception. Moreso this one goes out of it's way to make sure you can't just alt tab and watch video on the side, because service commands, while giving you passive hearts, do this for limited amount of times before you need to restart those, so you kinda will be watching the screen like a hawk.

    Was it worth unlocking everything with the clicking grind? Kind of? Maybe? If it had literally any other gameplay it would probably be a nice 4 star out of me, but the gameplay part kind of killed most of good vibes the game gave overall.

    But if you don't mind the numbness of infinite clicking and like small warm love stories (although story itself is minimal) it's a very nice thing to experience, give it a go.
