Anyone find this game a bit meh compared to their other offerings? It starts pretty good and I was committed to actually playing it but so many scenes are just shot for shot repeats, feels kinda half baked. Not sure why they decided to have so many characters in it but hardly flesh their scenes out. Decided to grab one of the saves and glad I did because most of what I hadn't unlocked yet was meh.
Also it's set in a world with sapient monsters but you can't prostitute the girls to ANY of them?? What do you mean there's no consensual monsterfucking!

I hate that main story doesn't have different dialogue when you aren't doing a virgin run. You only see a difference at the ending . Makes more sense to focus on the virgin run and then unlock gallery on ng+ see sex scenes. Heck some of the scenes are repetitive and can become boring so it would be better to view the interesting ones in gallery .

My biggest "meh" regarding the game is the combat aspect. The lack of opponent variety and low number of bosses means that clearing dungeons can be as simple as dodging and weaving. Also, the complete absence of a final boss was a bit of a letdown, notably because of the in-game time gap of days to trigger the endgame.

so the dialogue in the "good" endings can flatly contradict what happened to the heroines, including

At the end of the day, this is STILL an Acerola game, you're not meant to take it particularly seriously. Stuff like children that basically cease to exist the moment they're born has been a thing in their games for ages now. They're never meant to make sense narratively, it's just a thing to play into player kinks.

As for Sheryl's bit... The game justifies it as Sheryl supposedly doing this or that for the H-point thing, which were obviously meant to be used to escape the prison, and then of course she'll stop and stick together with Roy. Chiro's just a phase. Also, there's the whole "chip that makes them lewder" thing too. To an extent, neither Lilia or Sheryl can stop themselves and it's why neither resists anything at all when their stamina is low etc. Not that it makes completely logical sense, obviously, but like most Acerola settings, this one's at least somewhat of a casual sex world in various ways.

All in all, don't think too hard about things with Acerola games, it'll just hurt your head.

I'm not angry/offended/whatever. When I started seriously dabbling in h-games, I learned early on that taking h-games seriously would just shatter my mind and soul. I play very few h-games for their intended purpose and try to approach them like Josh from "Let's Game It Out" would and find unusual, wacky, and humorous ways to manipulate or break the game (such as the heavy-player-edge version of Blackjack in "Dragon Conquista" or siring children in "Tale of a Cat and a Girl" primarily for crafting components).

I think it would make for a hilarious fan animation for Sheryl to say, "Hi, Roy! I was totally faithful to you these past few months! By the way, here are your new stepchildren! I made them myself! Would you like to take my virginity now?"

The cheat room in the northwest corner of the monster quarter has a book describing how to get all seven endings.

7? RIP. How many of them are bad ends/side-quest ends? I'm interested in knowing the end-game endings and how to get them. I'm still on 1. playtrough so i dont think i have access to that room.

It's not really 7 endings, it's more like 2.5 endings with variations.

So yeah, this game doesn't ACTUALLY have all that many endings the way some other Acerola games do. As in, Monica for example has 8 endings in truth. (3 endings, one for each of the bulls, 2 slut endings, 1 True ending, 1 Normal ending, one Bonus ending related to losing too much to the Demon Lord.) Or Collete which had 4 endings? More? I don't remember exactly. Granted, it's usually the NTR games that have the most endings with real variations.

The only big things about this game are its size on disc and the size of Sheryl's tits, which are massive.

This is what I needed, thank you!

can you help me? i'm stuck here lilia can't get into the hole
The Luxuria Hole is in a different part of town; access it by taking the northeast exit from the slums, the northwest exit from the monster quarter, or the southwest exit from the financial district.
