RPGM - Hermione and the Magic of Love [2025_1 Public] [snow.forest.games]

I think this game is under rated. It needs improvements, and content being locked behind a paywall (But an inexpensive paywall) can be quite off-putting. But I think the game is quite fun and it leads you to want to play it more. One major improvement it can have is to add more animations, and another to change the dialogue of Hermione. She seems quite slow and ignorant, which doesn't really suit her personality. Also adding more hints would be good because the map can be quite confusing.
Other than that, I think the game shows good potential and is quite fun for what it is.

This game is ALL ABOUT:
..."try and find the room XYZ on XX floor of ZZZ Tower"
and
reaching [!] sign to start a scene in room/location ZYX.


So NO attending classes (only when plot tells you to go there) or RPG elements (fighting "slimes" doesn't count).

All Scenes (even talking ones) are noticably slowish + there's this delay and waiting for music to finish. Despite holding skip button.

You will waste at least an hour and will only encounter 2 game breaking bugs or will give up gaming because you can't find the showers (you will find different showers on the same level). Only then you may see Hermione naked for the first time.

The game is bad. Not worth any time.

Although the 3d art is ok (but few) and skip buttons work v.well.

this game need a map to be playable, or at least a fews arrows to guide you in all the corridors. Please put any of that options in the game to doing it playable and funny to the users and not a waste of time in find any site to visit

I think it's a given now that no one can make a decent HP adult game. There are a lot out there but none is worth playing imo. Same here. I have no idea what the dev is trying to do with this game but it feels so unispired and making zero sense.

Poor grammar, Hermione is supposedly 11 years old but somehow we pretend she's 18, she acts very stupid and horny all the time - which is weird considering that the dev believes she should have been the main protagonist in the actual books because she's so smart and awesome - and lastly, the game is full of bugs that doesn't help to enjoy the game even if you decide to ignore the previous flaws.

On the positive note, the art and renders are quite good which means that the dev knows how to create a beautiful scenery.

Of the advantages of the game, I would like to note:
The castle itself and its surroundings are drawn perfectly. I think it cost the developers a lot of work.
Interesting plot, a sense of humor, high-quality images of the main characters.
Disadvantages of the game:
Small number of scenes
Presence of bugs in the game.
I put 4 in the hope of eliminating the shortcomings and further development of the game.

I like the look but not the feel of the game. It felt stiff on the game play where it was "go here, now go here, now go here" and while at the beginning to set things up is fine, I was hoping for more freedom to explore and find interesting stuff but it never came. If this game continues (and I hope it does) I am hoping for much more freedom to explore.

It's a decent game, but small for now.
It has a good potential and the characters look very nice, and hopefully more people can help the development so that over the next few months, It'll be much bigger. I definitely think there needs to be more girls and students, you could have many many characters and it would feel like a better and bigger game.
I will give this a 5* review once there are animations and a map, and better hints for quests during the game. I think animations will make a massive impact on this game, they're very needed.
This is one of the games I'll be looking out for to see how it does.

Version : April 2020

Models and settings are interesting and i like the first chair view, looks like it's teasing you into hoping to see a "basic instinct" scene later on.

Aside from that, i had to stop at the first classroom scene, animated classmates (what does that bring exactly to have them doing their Parkinson's thing around ?) are probably the cause of a huge stuttering.

I'm not sure why i'm giving it 3*, maybe hoping it'll get fixed ?
Potentially, it could get 5* if the scenes are good (and it looks like they will be) but right now, i would rate it 2*.

Here's to hoping it's going to be fixed and not abandoned ...

This game requires quite a ton of bug-squashing, but I suppose it is deep work-in-progress time. Still, it looks very, very promising. I like character models (looking like porn studio trying to make porn edition of Hogwart with props and people they have, but in positive way) and how the castle looks (quite a lot of space to roam around, now requiring bug-hunt and getting filled with tons of small quests). And I DO like RPGMaker choice here. Fits the vibe of the setup and give some immersion with such good design of the castle. One big drawback that I hope to see fixed in further versions is performance. I got used to play RPGMaker and Ren'Py games on my old notebook (good enough to squeeze out solid 10 FPS from Witcher 3 ) and in some classrooms (like the one at the very beginning) I get 3-5 FPS with huge lags between dialogues and no chance to move around using keyboard, I have to point at destination with mouse and see Hermione warp there after 2-3 seconds.

so
The game first shows us Hermione, who is late for the distribution of faculties (this is not real, knowing all the super abilities of the mind and daily routine)
There are a lot of mistakes in the game.
The game has a lot of stocks
But the game has great potential
All 18+ scenes are worth it as for me to finalize
The plot of the game is worth considering. After all, Harry Potter is a famous franchise of games and films
You can come up with a lot of things in the game

Currently not very good, Only reason I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because its early on and could get improved.

I could absolutely accept lack of or unfinished content, But there's a lot of quality issues that should have been resolved before development even started. The game randomly swaps between parody names and actual names of characters. Pick one and stick with it. Typos in almost every line, my impression is this did not get even one proofread. Not a good sign. This is more subjective but there is simultaneously little player interaction and a very slow pace with a lot of fade to black that leaves you in the same place as before as well as slow unskipable scripted scenes.

Basically the only thing the game has going for it is the Hermione name attached to it, but that's not enough to carry it.
