Unity - Completed - Inari [v1.5.12] [HimitsuCP]

I feel bit conflicted about that one. It's certainly lacking in some aspects: skill system is half-baked, vitality stat is useless, most minigames are toddler-level, girl progression skyrockets from handholding to blowjob the next day. On top of that, it's very Japanese in terms of H-scenes (generic-looking glossy girls, exaggerated bodily fluids and extra curvy body parts) which is a bit of a turn-off for me, but that's a matter of personal taste. (Overworld H-visuals are super cute though).

At the same time I can't stop marveling at how NICE this game is. Cute and detailed world visuals, lots of side quests, hints for whenever you have a new event in a location, all these minigames to spend your time on between girl progression events... A lot of attention to details and small convenient QoL things - something that's hard to find in most sandbox games. I just can't give less then four stars to that game, it feels like kicking a kitten.

Some other points of note:
- for a certain girl a game warns you about NTR-heavy content but it seems to be netori (you fucking a married gal and making her admit that your cock is better that her husband's; said husband is never seen in game). Unless I missed some event?
- same for another "SM-heavy" plot line that turns out to be not femdom but rather a mild case of the opposite kind. Haven't finished that one though so maybe it's not so mild;
- I still haven't reached the pregnancy content even though I maxed relationship with one girl. I don't know if it's tied to the main quest, I only got one part of the treasure. Anyway don't expect a quick access to this content if you're here for that.

Pretty good game. Like a slightly less quality version of Summer/Winter Memories and Summer Clover. Animations are good, progression and gameplay are simple. Everything that you need in the game for quests is buyable. Translation is only ok but nothing noticeable, and the NTR path is completely avoidable and the game gives you a warning beforehand. If you;re a fan of big boobs, harem, pregnancy games then you'll enjoy this one.

Hint: When the game asks you for a Sea Bream bring a "Porgy"

"Summer memories with better art and worse gameplay" is a roughly way of putting it. Some specific thoughts:

- I appreciated that there was an "easy mode" to expedite things.
- The relationship with the girls goes from 0 to 100 (literally) very quickly, which is kind of a bummer. The relationships go from slow, awkward flirting to full-blown sex very quickly. This probably could've been managed better through better storytelling.
- Zero group content, required or optional, is an obvious miss.
- The story itself is fine although a bit silly, and I think the main problem is that it's sort of a distraction from the adult content. None of the girls you meet strongly tie to the plot except for one.
- There are a lot of half-baked mechanics. Most skills are useless, grinding money is annoying, and having to unlock h-skills at the very end when you've already done everything with the girls in cutscenes was silly.

That said, the main redeeming quality of the game is that the art itself is gorgeous, both the CGs and the world sprites. There are tons of animations and costumes and many of them are underused. Whoever did the art should find a more-competent developer to work with in the future.

I think its alright. Let me expand.

Art is not AI CG. There's proof in the comments that it isn't. And the scene art is pretty good. My only issue with the art is the lazy overworld animations. It's charming to look at, but so incredibly stilted and the few overworld H-scenes suffer from that immensely.

The characters are supposed to be over 20, right? Why does everyone speak and think like children? Especially the main character. Summer Memories-which this game is obviously inspired by-MC actually has a personality, and though its still somewhat lacking, its very much present. Not to mention despite the Summer Memories MC being a kid, this MC ironically thinks more childlike than him. This MC could literally be replaced with a garbage dump dildo and their personalities would be a 100% match.

Then there's the story. I won't talk about it cause I've barely completed much of it. Just that its really boring and dumb for where I'm at.

Gameplay also is just terrible. It's just a bunch of fetch quests and mind numbing minigames. There's nothing here to really call this a quality game. Then there's the "upgrades."

Let me go on a bit of a tangent here. Okay, so how you make money is to go to the hotel, do 3 minigames, get paid $3,000, or $3,300 is you complete a certain quest. Then there's an upgrade you can buy at night that costs $15,000 that'll instantly complete the work for you and decrease your energy consumption by half. That's great! Amazing even! I buy it an use it.

I got only like $750. What's the point of an upgrade when it's that useless.

Then there's the skill tree which is literally useless. By the time you get it, if you've been playing with even half a brain, you've already likely nearly completed all the heroines routes. It's literally just an excess money sink. The only skill that is in any way useful is the energy upgrade and the money upgrade upon chore completion.

So...yeah.

The game has amazing gameplay, amazing story, and amazing scenes. The continuality and amount of content is great. The only thing I would change is giving it more anal scenes, because, you know, it's my anal is my thing. Also, the NTR it talks about is not you being NTRed, it's some random dude, so it's the good NTR, not the bad NTR.

This game took the wrong lessons from Summer memories and one of the most blatant chinese ripoff of a "game" ever made. 90% of the game is asinine minigames with no option to just skip them once you progress far enough and at least half of the skill upgrades are useless.



The game doesn't mention that it has a skill tree and I only noticed it about an hour in because it was a slog to grind for coins so I could do anything and steam wants you to sign in to view any guides on a web browser. Which is fucking horseshit because you won't find any real help on F95 besides 100% saves, which is not what I personally want.


As to the "wrong" lessons from summer memories:

The game is entirely in engrish.

The game is almost entirely ai generated.

There is no free H and you can only have sex in the cutscenes, which are not even repeatable once you unlock them. You won't see any sex until about an hour in and then its just not fun to have to spam minigames to do anything.

You spend most of the game doing asinine minigames like "pickup that can" with zero variation instead of talking to or having sex with the heroines.

There is nonexistent writing for the actual heroines so we can give a shit about them. The MC just essentially rapes and molests them without consequence. Paradise lust has actual characters and is superior to this ai chinkshit slop.

There is no sex at all in the overworld besides as part of story events. These are also non repeatable. The sex scenes also go on for far too long with the cliche "pussy pussy cock hard IM COOOMING! ITS HOT! ITS LIKE ACID ON MY SKIIINN ONIII CHAAAAN!" tier cringe and no option to skip it. The endless loop of the same 3 stock female moaning sounds being cut off randomly will give you a migraine.

This game is like a fancy replica of Summer/Winter Memories, but with more effort on the drawing... way less on the story.

The graphic art is very good. Clean, sleek, tidy & glossy. Garnished with spine2D "slow waving" animation (to which I personally don't like, because it makes every characters behave the same, like dead-eyed sex dolls floating in a zero gravity chamber).

There's a big contradiction between the game's story & the MC. The storyline, the dialogue.. even the font choice are all too feminine for a male protagonist game.

Also, the relationship between the MC and the girls also feel like brute materialistic transaction (give them presents/clean their mess - girls give you sex, etc). While that maybe true in real life, but man.. people play games to escape reality.

Next. For a game to induce fapping instinct, you gotta have good aim with your mouse-clicking hand, clicking particular spots, and be ready to fap with another... BUT THEN... there are lots of repetitive blue-balling mini games.

Again, however, the graphic art is very good.

The game captivates with its exceptional art style, particularly in the realistic depiction of female anatomy, though the male figures are less impressive. The storyline, centered around a university student and his quest for a legendary treasure with childhood friends in Tobata, is straightforward but effective enough to maintain interest. Gameplay is slightly repetitive, especially in tasks like earning money, though upcoming updates promise improvements. The translation quality is basic and could benefit significantly from professional refinement. Despite these issues, the game's stunning visuals and the potential for future enhancements make it highly recommendable.

(This was summarized with AI. I'm not summarizing it myself after writing a full essay on it on Steam)

[1.3.2]
It's very, very similar to Summer Memories but it's a whole lot more grindy. I detest how much I had to grind for money up my last hour, and I played this for 6 goddamned hours. I wanted to cheat, but goddamn apparently it isn't as easy as just using cheat engine.

The voice acting is passable. It's good but don't expect something out of this world since this game really isn't all about the voice acting, it's about the Live2D and boy do they delivery. I don't think I've ever encountered any recycled scenes, and each of the three heroines all have unique scenes with their own unique angles, positions, and (somewhat) plots. The only recycle thing was the bathroom and toilet plots, but I can forgive those.

I can feel all the dev/s put into creating this game. I'm tempted to give it a perfect score, but honestly it's too "vanilla" for me. But so far, this is the best "vanilla" game I've played so far. It's just really grindy for it's own good.

For now I won't be touching this game for a very, very long time unless there's a major content update.

[v1.5.12]
Holy shit the devs cooked. The devs absolutely cooked. I went ahead and bumped my rating to 5 stars because of the additional content.

Goated game, hope you make a new game with a similar art style and a yummy milf, with her daughter <3

It's just surreal, only a few 2dcg games I have appreciated especially with these types of games. I was a bit lacking in Summer Memories art style, but this filled what I was missing out on.

Worth playing it for the CG alone. One of the best I have ever seen and I have revisited them a few times already. Of course I also had fun overall playing through this although the translation is pretty bad to the point that its really funny at times. Sometimes it is unclear how to progress too before the 1.2.1 Update but they seemed to make it easier after the Update.

Overall I give it 5/5. Would recommend. Mio best girl.

"This is extraordinarily beautiful, lively, and interesting. There is no need to perform 1000 actions to get the reward or miss a dialogue and skip a scene. No, this game is fantastic, I highly recommend it."

super visuals and scenes, good story
sometimes you get tired of routine
however there are some really cool interactions with the world that look beautiful good luck author
looks promising

Is this game has an end? No. Is there a treasure? ... well: a quick "false"main quest, three """rooomansuu""" and a daily routine... meh.
I'll compare this to "Summer Memories", a map, activities to improve your character, different girls to seduce(*hum*), but... with less interaction. I don't know if developpers run out of time or though it was ok, however it's quite frustrating to have limited action with girls, no develope activities(3 type per person).

Spoiler?
I was thinking that the MQ was related to affinity with the girls, but no, the MQ is( in my opinion) not finish. Then I ask myself: Why do the protagonist need seduce everyone when you can focuse one person(like in Summer Memories) if there is no incedence on the MQ( if MQ there is)?

Conclusion it's a no-brain game for relax.

All hail to Mio

A solid game and for the download size it contains enough content for in between. Sex scenes are smoothly animated and the art is great, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be complete as the shrine quest otherwise makes no sense at all. It's the typical cliché game, the girls are all keen on the Mc and need a few presents to have sex with him, yet 4 stars from me, recommended for a relaxing afternoon. (My personal opinion).

Cute art and lots of events but clearly not finished. Main quest just stops at a certain point and we don't hear about it again. Pretty easy to make money but some of the quests were annoying with the RNG fishing and vegetable growth so I suggest just hoarding your fish and veg and not selling it

Updated the review for v2024-09-27:
Wow, my first review was from 23 Dec 2023 with 3 starts, the game was unfinished, looks like they turned the game around into one of my favorite games here.

First of all, I must say that the game hits the spot for me. I like this kind of sandbox games where you have a small world to explore and do quests for characters.
What I hate is grind, but the game has a solution for it, you can choose to play the game in Cheat Mode and with infinite money there are items you can buy that can carry you though any quest.
There is food to restore AP, Energy, increase Favor with girls, there is Fish market where you can simply buy any Fish that you would need to catch for a Quest and there are even items that increase your PP points, if you don't want to play the memory minigame.
Animated scenes are outstanding, while it's unclear if they have used AI for assistance there are no weird hands, while you see 2-4 hands in almost all scenes and genitals look fine as well.
You unlock a lot of different scenes with 3 main girls in different clothes, hair style and scenarios, there is a free sex mode as well.
Additionally there are 4 side girls, each has a bit different fetish to offer.

Overall I can say that they have done a lot in less than 1 year and the game is worth your time.
