v Abandoned with rushed ending to get completed tag
This used to be a better game...
The plot in the human route (only route that still exists) is utterly nonsensical.
MC kidnaps and rapes women to impregnate them so he can sell their milk in lieu of cows.
Somehow, people do not notice the different flavor of the milk. Somehow, this is profitable.
Somehow, he does not get caught.
The art is ok.
The more realistic approach to rape is not all that sexy.
The world is pretty boring, as it is literally just the real world without any supernatural elements.
On initial release v0.1 this was a game where you played as a half demon with supernatural powers engaging in a supernatural plot.
Unable to resist your demonic urges you sexually enslave your mother and a few other girls.
There was hints of future mind control and a grand plot. You had sword and sorcery fights with rooftop ninjas.
Also decent amount of contents for a v0.1
You could feel the passion.
A day after release, on feb 4th 2023... dev recieved a 4 star review with a complaint on F95
4 star review by Vivat Imperatoris said:
the biggest annoyances were the supernatural elements / glowing eyes because I think it distracts from the actual game and makes it harder for you to put yourself in MCs shoes, and makes the game look silly
This review recieved 2 likes the same day. A month later it will go on to recieve 2 more likes.
Dev replied to this review the same day it was posted... This complaint with 2 likes resulted in dev apologizing for making his game take place in a supernatural setting and upsetting people, despite explicitly finding non supernatural settings borings.
dev said:
One of the reviews said the supernatural elements in this game makes it hard to immerse yourself in it. I understand, and I'm torn about it. On the one hand, that is true. On the other hand, I find making an ordinary protagonist boring, especially when it comes to action scenes that are planned in the future. It's hard to find a right balance between the two, but I'll try. I hope that clears some things up.
Dev then introduced a new feature... routes.
At start of game you can pick between the original [demon] (cambion actually) route, or a [human] route where there you are just a random human guy without any super powers who randomly decides to kidnaps and rape women. Somehow selling their breast milk is profitable. Also the girls react realistically to the rape because you don't have any demonic magics to twist their minds.
This is despite the fact that dev EXPLICITLY said he finds ordinary protagonists boring.
3 updates later and dev realized this is not working.
He is doing double the work to maintain 2 seperate parallel stories.
He started a poll on F95... F95 users voted human route by a very slight margin, and demon route was axed.
The game will forever more be supernatural free.
Remember that dev said he find ordinary protagonists boring?
Well, being forced to make a boring game, dev lost his passion for the project.
He lasted only 3 more updates before terminating the game with a rushed ending.
From first release to last one it was about 11 months.
Overall, I am just disappointed at the wasted potential.
