RPGM - Kibō: Slow Fall [v0.7.0] [DS - Corruption Novels]

Scenes don't play the dev never attempts to address it and its been an issue for some of us for months at least. The game has a ton of promise but sadly since the scenes don't play I have the recommend from my personal experience.

This game is a fairly standard NTR experience with some extra kinks that vary depending on your choices. However, the differences or routes aren't clearly laid out, even with the poorly made walkthrough. That said, most choices are pretty obvious regarding the outcomes they lead to.

The game is rough around the edges but still has a lot going for it. The female characters look great, and the main girl is very attractive with a great body and a unique appearance that isn’t generic. She reminds me a bit of Anis from Nikke. The story, writing, and translations are decent for an H-game. There are definitely inconsistencies, but they’re not significant enough for me to consider them a glaring negative. After a slow start, the game does feature some very hot scenes. The scene where they are moving and then play drinking games had me on edge before we even got to anything more sexual. In my case, I was pursuing NTR between the main girl and Freddie, though other stuff happens with other characters. The animation is minimal; it's more like stop-motion. It’s about the lowest form of animation you can have while still being able to use the animation tag for your game. It's not fluid at all, but it’s better than nothing. Personally, I prefer any form of animation or movement over a still image for an entire H-scene.

The game's biggest flaws come from its design. There’s no way to save during scenes, go back, view a chat log, or even access the gallery without being a Patreon supporter. No free gallery or recollection room, on top of these design choices, is horrible game design. Games like this need a way to go back, especially with impactful decisions. I also hate when I can't save during scenes. This really, really holds the game back. The game is also a bit buggy. My game crashed, and because I can't save during scenes, which is when I normally save the most, especially before choices that affect the story, I lost about two hours of playtime. At this point, I am dropping the game, but I will probably come back in a few weeks. I just need a break before replaying all that. As I said, the scenes are quite hot, but the animation is mediocre. Still, it's better than nothing. The character models of the female characters are quite good, although one weird thing I noticed is that Emilie, the purple-haired girl, sometimes has an odd red eye. The male models are very lackluster, but that's less important. The MC has a pencil dick, while other male characters have much larger ones. However, the sizes seem to fluctuate, sometimes appearing smaller or larger in different scenes. In games like this, bigger is generally better for the other male characters. There are also some niche kinks explored in this game, such as foot fetish, urination, femdom, etc. Personally, I am here for the NTR, so these scenes didn't do much for me. Adding these extra kinks could potentially attract a larger audience but may also turn off your core audience in some respects. It also seems to be heading in the direction of netorase.

All in all, it's a pretty decent game. The scenes are hot, with good build-up, and the girls are attractive. The animation is as average as possible but better than nothing. The writing isn’t horrible for an H-game. Ignoring the bugs and poor design choices, I’d rate it slightly above average if you enjoy NTR/Corruption. However, due to these issues, I find it frustrating to play at times. Overall, it's quite average and could use some improvement.

Edit: The animations have improved in recent updates and are much more fluid. Additionally, a futa path for the MC has been added, which spices things up quite a bit. I could see myself raising this rating over time.

Game is quite hot. Femdom & netorare theme in quests form, without stupid fights. Game is constantly developed approximately on monthly basis. Quite promising and already has quite interesting content.

This is not the typical NTR game, the graphics are good, the story is passable and the animations are very good.
The problem with this game is the only sex is implied or some sort of kink like foot fetish or watersports. I played till the end of 4.0 and didn't once see the wife get railed, it ruined the story when the only sex is rubbing between the cheeks or some fetish

Pretty ok overall, doesn't deserve 2 stars for all the content, BUT:

1. Lack of autosaves or any "go back" features killed any desire to play. Let's say you want to see what another choice does, but you forgot to save. Now you have to replay the same shit all over again, and since it's more of a VN than a game, you end up watching the same thing
2. No in-game guide. The need to rely on an opened browser window with a guide is just bad
3. just... RPGM (thank god there are no battles)

This is hard to review. It has ok writing, an ok story and ok art. It also has some very poor design decisions, atrocious animations (if you want to call them that), poor pacing and poorly done H scenes.

Now, disregarding how buggy the Skip system is, you may or may not be able to proceed at all in this game. If it works the system itself interrupts any scene every few seconds with "Skip Y/N" which completely kills the flow of the choppy animations.

Note while there is NTR, this is basically a femdom game. Scenes progress slowly and will be limited artificially, so it doesn't go too far. This makes the scenes often unrealistic and strange.

All in all, not a good experience so far (v0.5).

Just like with NTR doujin the art is good while everything else is meh.

My least favorite trope in media is 'Poor Communication Kills'. Which is when every single thing that happens could be resolved if they just spoke to each other like fucking adults. Unfortunately this couple should be the poster child of that trope. They are infuriatingly stupid even compared to the average NTR cast.

If you play it I would recommend just using a full save or MTool and watching the gallery. That way you avoid the tedious gameplay and character dialogue.

Extremely good game, well designed and nice hot hard. would love see more 'effects on the clothing between scenes but its a lot of work extra, but its a really good game.
Good gameplay and dialog, modelling etc.

This is really good so far, particularly the lesbian NTR, which is such a rare version of the NTR genre. But I do have criticisms which take some stars off that I hope the dev will consider. I'll certainly raise my rating if some of my issues improve, but I recommend it even now. I criticize out of love

Gatekeeping what are normally basic features, like a gallery, behind paywalls is off-putting. Also, I don't think adding minigames is worth the effort it takes you. It slows things down for no benefit, I don't believe many or any people play games like this for such things.

When a game takes a long time to get all the way through even when skipping all the dialogue, having to replay it in order to see other routes or choices becomes a tiring chore. This is why I think having an in-game walkthrough should be standard for everyone, rather than being paywalled.

A method for starting new games later in the story would also fix that problem. As in, you select 'new game from chapter 3' or wherever else, then it asks you which choices you made, and it drops you in. That would be excellent.

On to story (some SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't played it yet). Personally, I'm not a fan of the husband being forced into cheating himself, as I like NTR to be completely one sided (otherwise it sort of justifies the wife being a slut), but that is just down to taste I suppose. I don't like Anna's part in the story, which is why I avoid her (thanks for making her optional, BTW), I'd much prefer a focus on the wife when it comes to femdom. I think Emilie is great, and her route is the one I'm focused on, especially since the love interest being taken by a girl is such a rare thing in this genre. I hope her and the wife will eventually be in a real relationship and publicly cuck the MC lol.

One issue I have with Emilie, is that she's used a lot as a stand in for the wife if the wife isn't corrupt enough, so there are many scenes you won't see of her if the wife is fully corrupt, like the bar blowjob, or massage parlor, etc. I hope in the future we can get more of her with others, even if the wife is corrupt.

Thanks for reading.

I played 30 minutes so far, and I'm pretty surprised by the quality of the story, the kinky elements and the sexy characters (renders like personalities)!
This game has the potential to be a femdom/ntr must-play.
I love it <3

Its actually pretty decent. I won’t tell u should go play it or not but just so u know. I waited like after 3 updates to decide whether or not i should subs to this dev and well. I have subbed him for more than 3 months now haa

i really like the female protagonist and the corruption behind her character.
writing is amazing so far, really enjoy female ntr stories, also would be amazing to see focus on impregnation for jane development in the future (with multiple male villians maybe?)
personally i´d prefer a VN style for this type of story, but still a 5/5 for me.

Game background:
Blackmail is not the best way to express ntr.. I think

Game CG:
Excellent since wife is sexy and hot.
Looking forward for more ntr content

Gameplay:
- You know these games are more like ADV then playing yourself. But appreciate is there are multiple routes and CGs for different scene. The choices varies to different routes.
- You can skip Animations by clicking enter but this is annoying since I have to do it everytime


Bugs and Interface:
Direction and game guide are unclear for this game. Should have more instructions. Somehow some scenes are freezed should fix it

The only good thing about this game so far is the art. Wifey is pretty sexy. Apart from that, here are my main issues:

RPGM has these idiotic symbols during dialogues such as an exclamation point to represent shock or surprise. They are completely unnecessary and do nothing but slow down/break the flow of conversation. These should be removed, if possible.

The dev adds these long flash/fade in effects which are annoying when you're just trying to get through a scene. It really takes too long.

The dev has long animations that you can't click through. Don't hold us hostage to animations if we're ready to move on.

The game introduces the most idiotic blackmail situations that are unavoidable. Like the most low-effort reason to get a character to cheat. It's so stupid.

Finally, the game froze after the boss fires the male MC. I'm unable to proceed.
