VN - Others - Completed - Iacta Est [v1.2] [Zoquete]

amazing game, great art fun mechanic. just trying to hit 200 character limit i dont like the rule wish it was smaller or non existent it leads to most games having very few reviews i dont really think its productive

Really fun little 30~ minute game. The dice game is interesting and I enjoyed the various abilities. The story is kinda like a wholesome but horny kinda mix, very simple but it is a short game. Overall worth checking out if the art looks good to you.

Addicting and fun gameplay mixed with great artwork and a sweet romantic story. You play as a human sorceress with a furry kink who traverses a pyramid dungeon three nights in a row, challenging the various denizens to a dice based mini game. The goal is to seduce and romance the Anubis-like king who rules the dungeon. The gameplay is simple to learn, but with enough challenge to master. Each turn you roll 2d6 dice and you can either save the dice you rolled, thus stockpiling the total rolled number, or play them against your opponents. The number you play against the opponents is subtracted from their health. However, the dice the enemy plays goes up against whatever you play; if you throw down a 6 and they throw down a 5 , the enemy blocks 5 points of damage and only takes 1 damage. In this way you are both attacking and defending at the same time. You want to play big numbers to whittle your enemy's health down, but also have enough stockpiled to defend against enemy attacks. There are also random power ups you can gain to give yourself an advantage.
The artstyle is good and the gameplay is, again, deceptively fun, albeit with a certain degree of RNG grind involved. Even with a good strategy and well-chosen powerups you are at the mercy of random dice rolls. The last couple of boss fights especially can see you needed to replay the fight over and over.
My only major complaints are that there isn't more content and that there a handful of gameplay changes that could be made to improve the experience. The game's story plays out over three nights, as I said, and there is 0 adult content over the first night's story. There are only a total of 7 or so adult scenes (including both the "good" and "bad" endings) with many of them being optional. But that does mean you can see all of the content here in a single playthrough. Also, there are a handful of issues with gameplay and UI. For one, it is way too easy to accidentally leave the game's "store" where you can pick up free powerups that are crucial during the final boss fights. This can put you at a severe disadvantage if you make that mistake. Thankfully, if you do have your powerups but still keep losing in a fight the game gives you the ability to swap out powerups for different choices after 2 or so losses so that you can change to a winning strategy. Second, the final boss is very tough and I lost against him a good ten times before winning for the "good" ending. Both endings are super well done, but the romantic good ending is better in my opinion. Unfortunately, if you lose against the boss you don't get a good option to skip back to the beginning of the fight without playing out the entire "bad" ending over and over. It is hot, but that many times gets repetitive.
Overall, a good game that just left me wanting more. I hope they continue with this theme, gameplay, and characters/setting in the future.

Pros:

• Perfect blend of shamelessly horny and wholesome romance driven characters.
• Multiple different species and orientations across the cast.
• Character designs are distinctly varied while keeping to the style of Egyptian mythology.
• Very fitting thematic soundtrack.

Cons:

• Permanent upgrades are missable if you leave the window too early.
• Some of the final fights turn into a complete rngfest of resetting until you get the perfect roll.

Awesome small dice game! The gameplay is simple to understand, but some bosses are quite hard. The difficulty scaling is non existent: some bosses are very op, while other are oneshootable. The protagonist is well designed, and the scenes are good. The only real problem is that it's a bit short.

Good art, good writing and excellent gameplay - original and rather clever. The characters are fun and memorable and make themselves really pop in only a few lines of dialogue.

Highlight scene for me has to be the heron blowjob, a thing I didn't know I wanted before.

Short but fun. It takes 3 runs through to experience the story, but that only takes a couple hours.

I'm not a big furry fan, but the furry art is sexy and fun.

Nice representation. Female protag who isn't being corrupted, she's just liberated and horny. Some male bisexual content, which is unusual.

The writing is excellent. A lot of well written character development - mostly for the inhabitants of the dungeon rather than the protag. Multiple stories, mostly about communication and being true to yourself.

nice last song. Бля ну какие 200 символов? Почему я ёпт должен писать писанину ради 200 символов, если автор заслужил того, чтобы его игру лайкнули и продвинули вперёд, хотябы за неплохой геймплей и ОТЛИЧНУЮ ПОСЛЕДНЮЮ ПЕСНЮ С ЕБЕЙШЕЙ ОТСЫЛКОЙ

Reviewing v1.2

Rare gem of a minigame that gets everything right. This is just about the golden standard all minigames should aspire to.

Remains interesting from start to finish with a perfect balance of gameplay, characterization, plot, and porn. Any more content might have even taken away from the experience (though I wouldn't have minded a sex scene with Bastet or an easter egg or two like a nude mode toggle).

Animated sex scenes would have been icing on the cake, but I'll take hand-drawn art over another 3dcg dump.

This was incredibly charming and well written.

I was amused enough by the first loop to stick around for the second loop, and by the end of that I was actually invested enough in the characters and the story to finish up the final loop.

The gameplay is actually pretty engaging for a simple dice roller game, too.

In conclusion: This was fun for the course of the story, didn't overstay its welcome, and left me wanting more from this developer.
