RPGM - Completed - Human Farm -Practice Section- [v20240409] [Tokkuri Kurage]

Great and entertaining puzzle game with great art, voice acting and animation to enjoy

The sex scenes and accompanying voice acting are so good that just remembering them makes me thirsty

I agree with other reviews that it doesn't have a clear way to keep track of objectives so it's best to complete it in as few breaks as possible

However, I consider it an excellent game and chose to leave it downloaded to enjoy again in the future, plus I still have to enjoy both the sequel and prequel

I'd recommend you try the first game before this one, it has mostly the same core fetishes, and the good ending in this game is a lot less impactful without knowledge of the first game.

Discussion about this game has focussed on the 1 unavoidable NTR scene. I get that, NTR is usually a dealbreaker for me too, in this case I could accept it. It's basically used before the MC and girl enter their exclusive relationship to convice them that they're right for each other, consensual on all sides and over in a flash.

Aside from that, it's about a human cow falling in love with the MC by getting fucked really good. Not deep, but fine.

Gameplay is both an up- and a downgrade from the first one, it's not nearly as obnoxious to finde everything in this game, but there's less variety and any attempt at gameplay has been forsaken. You seach for items that unlock scenes with the main girl until she becomes yours, then you search for scenes with her and get the good ending if you've found them all. Simple. Only gets annoying if you've missed something and don't know where. For me, it was the fingering diary which isn't a marked collecatble item, just an object in the world. I'm sure dialogue tells you to check it, but I just missed it.

Kind of a weird shift to go from essentially free use cows to focussing on a (mostly) monogamous relationship, but it's not bad. Excited for the third one.

Quick summary:
Better than I was expecting, but it definitely needs you to be interested in milking, huge breasts and "human cows" (simple curiosity might not be enough). If you exclude the H-scenes as the obvious main attraction, the setting itself, has many unique details (like free cows and exclusive cows), and they show some creativity and effort, what else can you ask for? (many things actually, but you know.)

- Good - The h-scenes serve their purpose, it's filking and mucking with a few "non-bovine" (bovinical?) scenes... Their number seems appropriate for the duration of the game too. The art is "iffy", and I have seen much better within the same tags, but the dialogue covers that to an extent, in my opinion. On the same note this has a proper translation.

- Neutral - This kind of works like a sex Ed. lesson, believe it or not, and they go into details like the difference in stimulation between rubbing and pushing... (things like that). Basically, there's a very strong "how to treat and make a woman yours, for dummies" vibe here. I found it somewhat amusing. This is done with a mix of wholesome approach, and make them your "beach" approach... It's fictional Japan, sense is not required.

- Bad - If humanity did have a critical shortage of protein (game premise) we would be eating insects cause it's cheap, nutritious, and efficient, not drinking milk from human cows. It's a sad world we live in.

Not much else to say, I enjoyed the game, I do like the tags presented (which helps a lot) , and this feels slightly above average so I'm giving it a 6/10. Needless to say, that if you feel differently towards the tags, this game won't convince you to change your foolish ways.

The content was good but it was frustrating in some areas. Make sure to use the arrow keys to move through visable doors. No idea how to get the third end without cheating. The 2nd farm felt pointlessly large.

This game was actually a lot better than I was expecting and primarily for one good reason, it keeps it simple.

The game quickly gets into its premise and in no time at all you have several back-to-back well-made sex scenes.

I can't rate this much higher for a few big reasons though:
- Basic RPGmaker slop: No amount of good sex scenes are really going to escape these allegations. I'd rather just have a linear visual novel than have to sift through yet another game using stock RPGMaker assets for the 50th time.
- Strangely wordy: Some scenes of talking take far too long considering how little is actually said, and there's a big problem if you start skipping because of my next point.
- Some confusing objectives: This game lacks any way to remind yourself of what to do so you may end up running around in circles for a few minutes. There are some objectives that aren't clearly marked with a star, and some areas that are far too hidden. Frankly if I didn't discover these objectives as fast as I did, this review might be sitting at 3 stars right now. The biggest advantage this game really has is how concise it is, it doesn't take long at all to interact with every object to advance the game.

Here's a short guide on some things that can be easily be missed:
1. There's an unmarked book in the staff room that you need to read.
2. Outside the building, next to the pond is a fenced area you can dig.
3. The suspicious milker is the 4th (IV) one.
4. When getting the ID card, it looks like the correct search zone is impossible to reach, there's actually a gap between the wall on the right.
5. In the first forest zone, there's a second exit to the left in a gap between the trees.
6. To advance past the fingering scene, you need to speak to the guy on the far left of the screen you start in.

The fact there are so many confusing spots you can potentially get stuck on is inexcusable in my opinion. It's almost like the game was intentionally designed to troll you with elusive objectives.
