VN - Ren'Py - Imperium Bureaucracy Hero [v0.2.3] [Munitions Mori]

This game made me buy Disco Elysium (at a discount, because the company is basically on fire) so that I could compare notes to this game. Which then got me to put money into this game's Patreon.

The game is not for those looking for a quick jork of the paenits, F95Zone has a lot of those. However, it is well-written, consistent, reminds me of early Warhammer 40k artwork and themes, and sells the story it is telling. You are no hero of the Imperium; no battles are won here, no unveiling of cults, or uprising of Chaos. Only a consistent amount of suffering, as the gears of the world turn and crush men in its wake. You tip no balance in the grand scheme of things, but you can make one person's day better. That's all you can do. Or, you can make it worse because lol fuck you Respect Mah Authoritah.

It's a game for fans of Disco Elysium, Warhammer 40k's stories of normal humans and their hell-world conditions, and those who are looking for light downloads and something on the Novel side of a Visual Novel.

....Holy hell! This is a great example of good writing supported by H scenes, not the other way around. Plus its a relatively fresh perspective. I mean, how often do you look at the Grimdark and think "They'd best have completed their TPS reports or they will suffer the Emperor's wraith!". I want more.

Addendum: I DIDN'T EVEN MENTION THE ART! Love original drawings.

Nice! Great writing. Solid characters. Good sketches. Well done work. I'd like to see more work like this here, because content matters in absolutely any creative work. I wish the author or team of authors fame and fortune.
For the Emperor!

Imperium Bureaucracy Hero [v0.2.1]

While I enjoyed this one a lot, I can't in good concience give it a 5 because no faps were had. It's a lewd game after all, and a lewd game that fails to tickle the boner-center of my brain is honestly a bit of a failure. Text alone dosn't do it for me and the artwork is just too basic and crude for any kind of fappability.

With that said though, holy shit is this one good! It's not often I will praise a lewd game for its writing but this one is absolutely excellent! It's not only the writing that's good, it's also the general game design. Choices matter and there are mysteries to uncover. I sense some choices will come back to haunt me down the line.

It just frustrates me a little that such good writing and game design is paired with such basic artwork. Please, for the love of the Emperor, find a decent artist to pair up with. This kind of project with top-of-the-line lewd art would be lightning in a bottle! There are so many competent visual artists who can't write or design a game here on f95. The best of both worlds would be so amazing.

Other than that, I'm a little bit disappointed that I didn't get to burn heretics or exterminate xenos. But it's still early in development and I have no doubt there will be plenty of both down the line. Looking forward to more.

I never thought I'd see a pornographic warhammer game with the traits and writing of disco elysium, but here we are. What a wild world we live in.

The art is a bit rough. It's not bad, even skillful in some places, but it has a very "rough draft/concept art" kind of look to it.

But the writing is the real star. Despite being a porn game it is very competently written, and takes it's setting seriously as opposed to turning into some kind of set dressing or parody.

Seriously compelling writing, the trait system is cool as hell and actually matters.
I'm not a fan of Warhammer, but the world is incredibly interesting and I am looking forward to future updates.
Art is not this game's strongest suit, but it is very unique and is good enough besides.
I will say that the build up to the sex scenes is usually better than the scenes themselves, writing wise. This is a very minor critique.

Overall: Great, great game. Gives you opportunities to be a real bastard or a small light in the darkness, and both feel rewarding.

v0.2
More of a good read than a fap, and that's more than okay.

This is a passion project which has produced a pretty and worthwhile uncut little gem of a game/vn. Disco Elysium has clearly inspired the dev which is a good thing. It's set in a setting familiar and dear to a lot of people.

So why good and not excellent you may ask? Well frankly the art is not arousing, and neither are the scenarios imo which makes this fall short as a nsfw focused product.

However, and this is key, in my opinion this isn't really a porn game first and foremost. It's more like an adult aimed comic book that has you know perhaps more graphic sex scenes than the average one out there, but it's not really the focal point. Sex sells so it may help the dev complete his project, but i don't think you should go into this title with that in mind.

I think you should approach this game as a small indie rpg set in the 40k universe, and have fun with it like that. This is good on a rainy day with a biscuit, cop of coffee and some fitting music. I hope the dev finishes this project and continues to develop his writing.

A fan game so far at 0.20 that understands the origin story, doesn't sacrifice aura and vibes at the alter of pure lust. So far so good! Not sure it merits 200 characters at 0.20 though, but I played through all three major facets to start and was pretty impressed with the playablity and options. Not too deep in divergence to start, but thematically varied enough for my tastes.

Very good game , I really like the vibe and mood this sets over the entire tone of the gameplay perspective.

So far , story setup is decent enough to keep me attracted and porn is decent as well.


I really hope the dev does not give this up , good work!!

One of those rare games where the art, aesthetics, and writing are of equally high quality. Anyone looking for a quick wank will be disappointed, but if you enjoy a genuinely well written bit of fiction with believable human intimacy, keep your eye on this one. I know I will be.

This is a legitimately excellent passion project. The writing is superb, especially for game posted on a site that has greater focus on cuckolding quick faps. The art is nothing stellar, but it serves the game well in developing the atmosphere of the setting.

It's also important to note that this is a mature game, but it is not a SEX game. There are some sex scenes, but they are far from the central focus of the work. The writing and Warhammer themes are what this is all about, and I am all for it.

Glory to the God-Emperor!

It's too bad it seems to have been abandoned. I would be more than willing to support this project financially if it were able to consistently output content of this quality.

This was a delightful surprise. A bleak and kafka-esque take on naughty games. The writing is top notch, the monotone art is perfectly paired with the grim content, the few scenes in the demo are generally bug free and easy to navigate.

Weaknesses: not much content yet (1-2 hrs?), no meaningful plot choices yet (no consequences for scenario decisions), and it's frankly untitillating. I was expecting a creeper power fantasy, with a petty bureaucrat taking advantage of his petty authority. Instead, I got a heartfelt meditation about social isolation, powerlessness, small attempts to improve a soul crushing system in spite of itself, and the occasional desultory sex scene.

With more development, it could become a brilliant and unique game/story, though.

One of the best takes on impirium I had seen so far - play as a auditor of administratum in a typical imperium hive planet. Writing is great, it has three pathes for character skills and personality which are all well written and add to replay-ability. We are allowed to act as good or as evil as we like (or do nothing at all and just skip the quest alltogether)

A lot of content for the demo - three full quests, three sex scenes (all are optional), a lot of characterisation and I can see it becoming a great project.

Good art, AMAZING writing, AMAZING diversity by player's choices, it really feels like they matter alot, also author really knows how to play on other's emotions., given its an 40k novel that makes it ALOT better. I think the writing is even better then in most official books, truly a work of passion right there right there.

Absolute gold. The setting is very well done, the tone crafted and conveyed masterfully, the tidpieces of random lore yet subtle enough that you can get into it without knowing anything about 40k.....*chef kiss*.

Choices! Real choices! You can be a bastard, or you can be a good soul and both *work*. The consensual enthusiastic scene when you refuse the soulless bribe of the desperate........or the fully "I enjoy fucking you even if its a bribe" (different characters) means there is content for everyone.

And, honestly, i could totally play this as a not fap game, papers please looks bad in comparison

Excellent writing. Heartfelt drawings. Depressing and grim setting, but so far you can try to do a little bit of good (however there is a lot of potential for everything to get considerably more horrible, and hardly any for it to get better).

i vibe so much with this.

its grueling, cruel, raw.
it presents the scenario as it is, no false empathy nor anything. just words, descriptions, and suffering.
its very well written, and combined with the artstyle and theme, this game just sucks you in its world.

looking foward for more, cheers dev

A very promising start, with an interesting premise and a very atmospheric artstyle.

However, the writing is the absolute highlight of the game, wich is something I don't think I've said about an nsfw game since TLS. The comparisons to Disco Elysium seem very fitting so far, especially in tone and the dream-esque writing style, wich is nothing but high praise.
If you enjoy 40k, or really just good writing in your nsfw games this is a must play.

Imperium Bureaucracy Hero is a great showing. It's definitely a Disco Elysium-inspired take on the Warhammer 40k universe (which is a great combination). While the artwork won't be everyone's cup of tea, especially when it comes to erotica, it's unique and fitting for the tone of the game. Where the game may lack in visuals or gameplay mechanics, the creator makes up for it with great writing, flavor text via the selection of 'roles' or 'traits', and even well-written sexual scenes.

Very excited to follow this one and see where it goes. Keep up the good work, Munitions Mori. Which is a badass username... Remember you must lasgun and bolter heretics.

This demo is nothing less than the seed of something truly unique. If the idea of a Disco Elysium influenced nsfw experience in the 40k setting has even the slightest appeal to anyone reading these reviews (and it honestly should), then drop everything that's going on and try it out for yourself.

* The developer gets the setting like few people do, the stories of small flames of light burning against the oppressive dark, and weaves it in with compelling smut at the same time.
* The Facet system when creating your character is implemented seamlessly into regular dialogue and makes you want to replay the game to experience the different ways another facet might interpret a given situation.
* The artstyle oozes with flavour, and makes sketchy drawings look far better than what other artists might draw cleanly.

All in all, a very promising initial demo that has me more hyped for this project than what many other unfinished games has got me with a year of development behind them.
