    Reviewed v2.5.2

    A quick summary of Life with a Slave would be fixing someone that is broken and finding meaning in your own life.

    Sylvie is a slave you “acquire” and you perform actions to build her affection for you. It’s a nice game albeit a little grindy if you decide to take on the daunting task of trying to unlock all the clothing pieces as well as the H-scenes.

    2D models are great and the art style is very unique, the environments are nicely done and enjoyable to sit through.

    Gameplay wise there isn’t much to it, the day is separated into time periods where each action costs are period in the day. Certain actions can be performed at certain times of the day. There is no money constraints with time being your only resource. The addition of the gallery and clothing store helps extend the playtime of the game significantly. On the topic of the clothing store, you can unlock more items after reaching certain stats with Sylvie and you can dress her up to whatever style you like.

    Story-wise there isn’t really much to it, you have to raise enough trust points so that there is no bad ending. The story should realistically take only 1-2hrs at most with the rest of the game becoming a sandbox with unlockable clothing and scenes as you continue building affection and lust performing increasingly sexy things. Sylvie is adorable and cute you definitely will feel some sort of attachment to her after the main story is completed.

    Pros
    • Interesting art style and nice scenes
    • Simple and easy to pick up gameplay
    • Gallery present and accounted for
    • Dress-up is pretty fun
    Cons
    • Short story
    • Grindy if you choose to unlock everything
    • Not much gameplay involved
    Suggestions
    • Extended story
    • Sometimes the translations get a bit funky
    • Display what stats are needed to unlock certain clothing

    Note: My “review” is general overview of a game and with heavy weight on how much I enjoyed it rather than “critical/objective” rating. In another words my “review” is PERSONAL ENJOYMENT + a bit of “critical” rating/comments.

    ver 2.5.2
    PROs:
    +very wholesome
    +lot of outfitting options
    +very hot and lewd scenes (superb facial expression and body reactions)
    +progressive/reactive CG
    +superb game for this type of game
    +rather straightforward gameplay
    +useful settings and extra customization

    CONs:
    -not sure, for it's category of game it felt superb.. it's missing "something" I cant express

    Comments:
    Cute, hot, lot of outfitting options. Not much to add. For this type of game it was superb. It felt It missed something rather "important" but I don't know what that is or that is behind the whole concept or engine this game is built on.

    8/10

    Based on the title alone, I have to say this game is terrible. I signed up for a slave owning and in the entire thing if you do anything other then treat it like a princess the entire time it dies.

    As you can see by the cover art, you start with a girl that was abused. She is a slave in name only. I feel when you have a game like this, let me torture her if I so desire, but have the person provide aftercare.

    Basically, you play the game as a doctor that treats a "slave" as a princess, gives her everything you want for weak hentai scenes.

    First, I really appreciate the translation patch and walkthrough provided in this thread.

    One of my favorite things in games in attention to detail, of which this game has quite a bit. I also appreciate that the devs have continued development on it for a while now, without charging as DLC or anything.

    Sylvie is excellent. She's incredibly sweet, and I appreciate how demure she is until she loses hold of herself. Didn't realize I enjoyed ahegao until I played this game, heh.

    There's a lot of incredibly specific niche-taste content (the kisekae stuff, for example), much of which is very much up my alley. Can't say it would be to everyone's tastes, unfortunately. The other main downside which comes to mind is that there is no proper good ending.

    Still, Life With a Slave is easily the best eroge I've played. Excellent stuff!

    This is absolutely my #1 H Game of all time. Seeing a tragic character like Sylvie and building her up the way you do is immensely appealing to me. The gameplay (there isn't much) is rather repetitive but there are plenty of events and variety to keep me interested. I love the way you can unlock costumes that have unique appearances in each event and that obtaining them is metered to X number a day rather than grind money to buy them. I love how you can see and feel the growth in Sylvie as a character as she continues to get more and more attached to you. I also really appreciate the unique artstyle the dev uses.

    The art is really good and Silvy is a very cute character but one of my problem with this game is that I really dislike all the lewd stuff in it just because Sylvy looks way too young: she don't have breast/ass, she looks too small and it just feels wrong and not attractive. I actually wonders if this game is legal because she clrearly don't look 18 to me.

    That being said It's still cool to take care of her by buying some clothes, being nice to her, buying food, going out and seing Sylvy being more and more happy. But the game keeps coming back to you pushing for lewd stuff and it honestly makes me stop playing the game.

    The story is very simplistic and it put the player into a situation where he can easily feels good about himself and be "the good guy" just by doing some normal stuff since Sylvy is so used to bad treatment.

    So yeah for once I wish there was no sex in a game.

    A very sweet and wholesome game (the H-stuff is an added bonus)
    Maybe the replayability isn't that great but I do enjoy seeing her cheer up every time I play it I recommend it for everyone who wants a break from the usual H-games where it's more focused on the sexual relationship

    This is a good game, interesting to see a loli slave actually want to have sex for once, it gets to the point where she practically rapes you. I would still like to see the dev add anal at some point though, I mean seriously, there isn't even gentle ass play in the game, if anal gets added I'll up this to five stars. This is definitely a game I would recommend!

    I love this game. Simple and charming. No pesky mini-games, just a bit of grid.

    The story isn't complex or anything. But it makes you actually care about the relationship with Silvie. I ended up fearing that I'd lose her, or something. When I met the guy in the market. :censored:

    Needless to say. I'm addicted.

    This game is great.
    Even if you don't like asian drawing styles.
    It provides the feeling of being adored. With relationship build-up.
    Wicked, cool music, that I remember even after 6 months.
    Too many headpats, but I forgot about them as soon as she appreciated it.

    One word - HEADPATS! Seriously, I never imagined a headpat simulator could be made but here it is. Jokes aside, a touching game with some really great art. The plot isn't exactly driving this game, but as an interaction simulator it certainly does what it sets out to do. Honestly I'd give it a 4.5 but we can't do half rankings and the slightly choppy translator/GUI and lack of a later plot makes me hesitate to give it the 5. Great game for those who like vanilla interact style games.

    For creator: My only suggestion is to add anal, a slave should have an anal option :)

    For players: I highly recommend an auto clicker, since much of the sex scenes require a lot of clicking.

    The game is less about domination and more about compassion. Not your typical slave game, but I enjoyed it.

    This game is the complete opposite of corruption games and I LOVE IT. The sounds and art are bonkers.

    The theme, as I said, is really cool, building up Sylvie instead of breaking her down and corrupting her. It's mostly her offering herself instead of being taken. The wardrobe is a nice addition and gameplay feature. The scenes are hot, with options for X-Ray (LOVE IT), sounds/spoken words (onomatopoeia, only in Japanese), hearts and more. The English (machine) translation is pretty good and totally understandable. Sylvie herself is very cute and just has to be protected, and patted on the head.

    All of this said, Sylvie is just too close to Rule 7 for me. I'm not kink shaming. I just wished there was some mod or option to make her at least an oppai-loli or a girl with normal proportions, because I otherwise can't play the game without a clean conscience. It's a fantastic game, the story is so sweet and heartbreaking.

    If you love loli, you're going to die playing this game. If you don't like loli, then at least try it, maybe you'll have a bit of fun as well.

    Edit: I have succumbed to the loli, nothing and no one can help me now. o.o'

    Sylvie is both sexy and cute, the development of intense romance is lovely and the increasingly lewd lustfulness is exciting. I love Sylvie scars and all. overall it may take a while to unlock all the CG's scenes, but if you get the book on medicines then you'll gain from going to the forest by farming blue and pink flowers which up Sylvie's lust which'll open scenes up. You can molest at the beginning but guaranteed and quick bad end game over, so do the gentle options and give her the good food, and take her on "dates" so she'll trust you more. The amount of character personalization for Syvlie is a lot but certain items can only be found by going it alone in the evening.

    A type of game that I personally love. Simple with very nice art and well coded. I like the fact that you can be the good and kind person that helps the poor thing or the bad guy that do whatever he wants. What I miss from this game is the main story. But seems that the updates will cover it soon.

    Enjoy it yourself. 8/10

    Nameless One

    It's the opposite of a trainer.Instead of breaking someone,you "repair" them.

    Good:Art design,variety of scenes,unique premise.Art&scenes get better with each update.

    Bad:Lack of a conclusion (at the moment),once Sylvie falls in love with you there's nothing else in terms of story,a bit repetitive when "healing" Sylvie,lackluster storyline.Future updates may fix some of these.

    This is one of my favorite games I have seen on this site. I played it well before I wrote this review and can say with utmost sincerity this is one of the best 'feel good' games ever written. Very lovable with the best girl.

    Don't even recommend it for the porn. Porn here is great. Recommend for the cute girl and the head pats. Will cure even the most severe crippling depression.

    • Far too cute, far too much feels
    • The art and animation is top notch
    • A lot of different CGs for different clothings
    • Game progression is very nice
    • A lot of things to explore
    • Why I'm crying

    POSSIBLE SPOILER! (I didn't vote games until now, so this is my very first one). This game is just amazing. I really like the atmosphere of the game, like how you start as a stranger in the little slave girl's eyes, and little by little she falls in love with you. How you learn about her tragic past, with every new thing in the game as i went through it, it grew closer and closer to me. I couldn't wait to know what happens next after each part of the game. It made me really happy whenever i could play this game, each part of the game was exciting, it was never boring, (maybe only the lot of patting until you can reach a new part in the game). And so here i am waiting for the next update. So i recommend this game to everyone who likes training/slave games. But even if you don't like these type of games i think it's still worth a try! ;)

    I've been following this game on and off since around its release, and honestly there isn't much to be said that hasn't already been (but I wanted to throw in another 5 star rating and my two cents anyway).

    Even when it had much less content than what it has now, this game has always been very addicting to me. Visual novels can be very sluggish at times, but this is one of the best examples (that I have played) of a VN which combines other gameplay elements into its storytelling to create a truly immersive experience. You can hunt for sex scenes, spend forever creating different clothing combinations, explore various locations or just pat her head everyday and watch her turn from reluctant awkward girl to completely obsessive waifu.

    It's a great "waifu simulator" overall. One of the only hentai games I can regularly come back to.
