RPGM - Completed - Lost Chapter [v2.07] [Almichadia]

It's quite the atmospheric game, just the ambiance and flickering light guiding the path.

The gameplay is such an "easy to play but hard to master" category, there are no tutorial and the player is just thrown to the world expecting to know what to do.

You're not entirely there despite the driving force that accompanies the girl, so I take that "virginity lost" as a blunder very seriously.

I really like this game, I find the gameplay enjoyable, the art is good, and the sex animations are okay. The thing i really like about this game is that there are a lot of mechanics working in the background, that when you figure out made the game a lot more enjoyable for you.

The biggest drawback for me has to be that you are not really told how to play the game almost at all. So many things that I think are core to the gameplay you have to figure out. A few examples being; how to remove cards from your deck, the importance of titles, how to unlock some titles, and that the 'class' you choose from the quiz at the beginning changes more than just your starting stats.

TLDR: If you stick with the game and figure things out its a really enjoyable game to play.

Review based on 36 (failed) runs on ver 2.07

This is a decent roguelike card game that I'd be willing to play even without any of the lewds. It very much leans into the whole "die once, start all over" shitck of older roguelikes by mercilessly locking the player to a single autosave, and offering no real way to permanently get stronger, the only way to do so being certain events and achievements, the odds of attaining them being entirely dependent on RNG.

The story is more of a Soulsborne lore trickle, where by some small random events here and there and some flavor text between levels, you can piece together a miniscule fragment of the world and what goes on in it. But more likely, you will get absolutely bodied by even a random encounter and get yeeted back to the title screen to do it all over again

Speaking of doing it all over again, Lost Chapter features a NG+. Kind of, except not really. At the end of a run, players accrue points, which can be done to...get random buffs at the start of a new run. That's it. That's all they do. The most that more points can net you is more buffs, with at least one of them being "more impactful" than the rest according to the game's blurbs. They're mostly small things, like more starting money, or higher stats. Some of the higher-level buffs add more cards to the deck, though with starting hand size of TWO CARDS at the start of every run, your chances of actually making use of those extra cards is negligible. More likely, you will be like me, painstakingly working your way to the 2k point Grand Blessing, get bodied about 2 bosses in, and make back about 24% of the points you spent hoping to get to the end this time. All because RNG will not stop giving you shit events and shittier rewards for winning battles.

Tl;dr, this is a long and unforiginvg game, nor can it be cheesed by save scum or save editing. Unless you trawl the forums for a full save or something, your only option to unlock the gallery is the long and painful way. And it WILL be long and painful.

The Good

• A strangely fascinating world with lore trickles intriguing enough to make me play this game even without seggs.
• Neat, if somewhat repetitive soundtrack. Very atmospheric.
• Card-based battle system that is simple to learn, difficult to master.

The Bad

• Other roguelike games offer at least some way to maintain certain progressions. Even some of the more vice-grip-to-the-balls games like [game I am not allowed to mention under rule 2], or [game I am not allowed to mention under rule 2], and even [game I am not allowed to mention under rule 2] at least had mechanics like an item storage, permanent upgrades, or an EXP level that carried over. Here, there's nothing. You will be absolutely railed at seemingly unreasonable times and circumstances a la [game I am not allowed to mention under rule 2], and you will be Stockholm'd into liking it.

The Debatable

• Loli tag is there for a reason. There is an enemy who can force a nigh-unavoidable loli transformation on the heroine.
• Not sure if werewolves and other creatures count for bestiality, but there is some seggs with animal-looking creatures.
• To be honest, the sex is kind of just...there? Not in the [game I am not allowed to mention under rule 2] sense of "I love this so much I could play this without porn!", but more in the sense of "Ehhh? Would this game really lose anything if it axed the porn?"

Excellent slay-the-spire like with a porn premise; but the porn is actually completely optional. It CAN be a punishment for loss, or you can lean into it and do a slut build; I love that, personally. The art is good and the story was surprisingly captivating, being what the game is.

One of the very few H-Games I have completed despite having downloaded so many. There's a nice story, though it is not apparent from the start. The game play is really enjoyable as well. The H-Scenes are all 2d CGs, not really animated, but still looks good. To get as much H-content as possible, you will need to build your deck that way. The music is nice. And I love the cryptic messages that it shows after I clear a stage. Overall, I love it.

This is such a good and addictive game,and this is one of the few games that i actually played for the gameplay rather than the H content,however it would be better if the game had more H content,and some polishing here and there and more color,this game had much more potential but despite that it was an enjoyable experience after all

the drawing and art is insane, i love it. it would be five stars on its own. the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired tho. the combat and leveling is pretty repetitive. the card game doesn't really have much depth to it. i love roguelite, text-based adventure, and card games somewhat, so this should be right up my alley... however there is a ton of repetition to what you can discover. as i find the same levels, fight the same monsters, and play the same cards over and over again, i find myself starving for something i haven't seen yet

An enjoyable and good game with a lot of replayability. The only thing that irks me is the FMC becoming a loli, but then again, it was in the tags, so my fault. It has a lot of nostalgia for me, I don't why, but the art style and environment make me so. I also *was* this close beating the entire game in my first run.

Tip for new players?
Lean one stat, if you go on full magic power go for its related cards, etc. (if you do, go to Blue door for massive stats)
Don't trust the game on giving the card you want, remove useless cards if you can. If you allow it, you could skip the card taking part aspect.

one of the best roguelike turn based hentai ever, i enjoyed everything from the normal game to the DLC, thankfully this version is more complete then the steam version, my only regret is that the game is complete, but this would have a lot more potential

Based in the version 2.07:

Story:

Gameplay:

Music: In my opinion a really good one.

Art and H-scenes:

Bugs:

• Sometimes the cards doesn't show correctly.
• In battles they are specifics occasions where you can't end your turn and ends softlocked (so you have to close the game and open it again).
• Maybe some errors of consistency related of your state of your clothes in the fights (specially if you lost your entire clothes before enter a fight).
• And this is not a bug but more a inconsistency: if you are in the state of be in heat, being completely naked and as loli, when for the first time you masturbate in a cabin (It only appears once per game if you do it I think), you are in that scene as if you don't have the state of loli and as you don't were naked at all.

Now, if you ask me if it is a good game to try it? Yes, do it if you don't have problems with card-games. Because is a game with a lot of work and deditation: so this game could give you a good time at least in gameplay (with luck) and history.
Later as a 18+ game, you can play it without problems: just don't wait a full drawn character that doesn't be the MC (with exeption of other 1 or 2 characters at least depending if you wait a full drawn of those scenes depending of the sexual attack is only one then, the other one you can see it completely if you let you grab and that type of stuff with a specific enemy).

Last words: I completed the game 100% before and after the update. I'm a fan of the genre and can only recommend it. I have to say that it's not super exciting and because some rooms are rarely encountered, the rest are repeated very often, which can be a bit annoying, but I would still say that you can discover a lot of different things with enough patience.

I usually hate card or deckbuilding games, but this is a lot of fun! Unlike a lot of games where you have to lose on purpose to experience H scenes the randomness of the cards can really screw you over and you lose faithfully. It feels a lot more impactful.

And the main character is just so adorable! I wish I could be her.

I want more of this game so badly! I'd like to see more H related status effects too. Especially ones that last after combat and can affect future rounds.

OMG almost forgot the MUSIC is phenominal. I leave the game running sometimes while doing other stuff just to listen to it.

The game play and deck building is actually so good! The events are random but they can really make youre build go from good to great. There isn't any path or choice you can really do from one scene to the next which kind of sucks but the content is pretty kino none the less for a small indie dev lol 100% you should play this

oh also the art and hentai is really good lolol

v2.07 Review

Graphic: 5/5
At first it looked like it was kinda on the lower spectrum of mid, but once you play the game it's very easy to get used to it. The animations and CGI are adding a lot to this game.

Gameplay: 3/5
I'm not fan of card games, but when it came to this game it really sucked me in. There are a couple of play-styles you can choose and you need to level up proper stats for max value. Unfortunately the enemies lacks randomness in their movements. Once you get the grip, you always know how will they behave.

Difficulty: RNG based
This game relies on RNG a lot. It's very easy to lose a run just because you haven't got enough (or any) stats you needed or the cards you acquired are trash. Once you lose, you get a small amount of points that let you buy some random bonuses to start with in the next run. Unfortunately the only bonus you'll receive consistently is the smallest one, and if you want something more, then you need to grind a lot. It's also worth to note that you cannot choose the next room you go to, like in similar game Slay The Spire. Everything is randomized. It's possible that most of the floor will be just enemies, with little to no events granting some kind of stats or traits.

Overall rating: 4/5
I have to admit, despite it's flaws, the game sucked me completely for a day or two. Unfortunately after some time I had enough of grinding for hours and had to cheat my points for more and better bonuses at the beginning of the run. However those first couple of hours where you do not know yet any enemy patterns, events and what trait does what were truly amazing. If only this game hooked me up enough to make me complete it without cheating, then I would give it a 5.

The art:
The art is good and versatile. It offers variation through boob size, body size (regular or loli), and has 3 states of dressed (fully dressed, torn dress, nude). I think the swimsuit outfit has the same states. The beastified state (ears and tail) also has two variants based on your body size.

The H-Scenes:
The H-scenes are mostly found in the form of in-combat rape. Enemies have unique H-moves, meaning there's quite a lot to see. The slut build has a decent amount of H-moves too, though these are not unique for the most part (from my knowledge only the true final boss has unique animations with these). Some random events also potentially have unique H-scenes (depends on your choice and whether you succeeded or failed).
All by all, plenty to see.

The story:
It's an mysterious world that hints at at things. As you play more, you'll slowly learn more about the lore. Even if it wasn't a H-game, it would still be a solid game.

The Gameplay:
It's a roguelike game, meaning RNG plays a MAJOR role in how your run will go. Dying also means that you'll start over again if you don't savescum. While it can be fine, getting the right event can become tedious. It took me up to stage 400+ before I got a certain event that allowed me to unlock another event. While this was more for the completionist run, it got kind of tedious. Hence the 4 stars.

The combat:
This can be a hit or miss for people. Personally, I liked it. You work with a card deck that gives you a random hand until all card are played, after which everything is recycled and reshuffled. All cards have an Action Point (AP) value, while you have a limited amount of AP per turn. That's where the strategies and AP management comes into play. For those in the know, think of Divinity Original Sin 1/2. Some have unique effects, others are based off a certain stat, and a few have both. It takes a bit of time to get to know card synergy, but once you do (and properly build a deck) you'll be cycling through them again and again whilst doing up to 1k damage in a turn. The downside is that many builds require you to invest in them for them to properly pay off. Problem is, after a battle, you have up to 3 random cards from which you can choose, meaning it's very RNG-reliant. Surviving up to the point of viability might be difficult, unless you go the easy route and focus on a deck that makes the enemy orgasm.

Conclusion:
If you like rogue-like games and H-games, this one should be straight up your alley. If you simply came for a quick fap, I can't really recommend this one

The only other game that I actually dedicated time to beat like this was Monster Black Market. Entirely different games, but honestly the gameplay (and porn) is worth actually playing the game rather than just downloading a save

2.07

bad porn game. boring/bad card game. art is fine. it has slay the spire-like gameplay without much explanation.

the game is clearly "quality" but if this wasn't a porn game and on steam then it would be considered bad and boring.

and the sex scenes don't save it, most of it is not animated. combat sex/battlefuck is too boring. especially without much story. because you can't even see the genitals most of the time. nor movement, nor heroine's thoughts if she likes it or not or what.

this game is never above 3/5. other reviewers are smoking something.

it has music sure, but it's stil boring.

so it's 2/5

First and foremost, I played it with cheats, where I basically just had infinite HP because I don't personally really enjoy these types of games, let alone RNG dependant gameplay where you're likely to lose just because the dice didn't roll in your favour.

But still, I enjoyed it. A lot.

From the kinda vague story to the art, to the fact the dev just gave us an endless mode to get to explore all the content (if you survive until then without cheats) is just *chefs kiss*.

It's not for everyone and certainly wouldn't be for me if I hadn't cheated, but I am glad I did. It was so worth experiencing this.

4/5 because it's kinda a niche gameplay which can be a shame, as many dislike rogue-likes, including myself, thus don't get to experience the beauty and surprisingly enough, depth of this game.

Could've been way better, I read that it is designed to force you to play gaain and again until you get lucky but despite its my 11th playthrough I am still unable defat ANYONE at layer 20. I don't know if this is terrible luck or am I doing something wrong but one gameplay I got 15 consecutive fights and not a SINGLE event that gives LP. DEFINITELY needs a balance update.
EDIT: FINALLY MADE IT PAST 20 but the VERY next fightsomeone turned me into a child, then I got stunlocked by him, died, lost all my progress. I think this game just pushed me further away from rogue-like and such a shame good artstyle is spent on a painful gameplay.

Actually fun game, and the scenes are all good, but wish there was more non combat senarios with scenes.

The bad part is that like many similar games its very rng dependent. you could go from taking out any opponent in 2 rounds to being oneshotted on stage 22.
