RPGM - Completed - Lust Vessel [v1.0] [Moccasin's Mirror]

Version: v1.0

I never really enjoyed puzzle games, but when i realised that this game is only a few hours long i decided to gives this a try. Although i didnt enjoy the puzzle mechanics of this game, i did find fun in this games story and the sexual scenes. It doesnt waste your time, just gives you a direction to follow and enjoy the game for a few hours.
The only real minus i can gives this game, is the fact that the art feels very saturated and rough, but that is not a real deal breaker.

Great game with a variety of characters and a lot of CG. Game is easy to progress through and not difficult in the slightest. The only issue I have is that in order to get all the CG is that you need multiple play throughs. You can't really complete this in one or two play through. But other then that the game is actually pretty good.

3/5 - Decent waste of time
~ 3-4 hours long

Gameplay mostly consists of running around avoiding roaming enemies while trying to find the item needed to progress. If an enemy catches you, combat begins. Combat is mindless and easy. Thankfully, there is little of it. Surprisingly, I found dodging enemies to be enjoyable. Sometimes you will also need to make choices, which influence romance/relationship points.
Story is sexy and interesting. Characters are diverse, but some are flat.
The porn is more shaky. I didn't like the art, and the text is objectivley bad. Short sentences, basic vocabulary, grammer errors. The writer is either foreign or never attended high school.

The big issue for me, that I don't see the other reviews mentioning, is that almost all of the porn scenes are gated behind deliberately losing to enemies. Most scenes are locked behind a lust check. If your lust is too low, you won't see the scene. Pretty much the only way you can raise your lust stat is getting raped. Considering how easy enemies can be avoided, not to mention how laughably easy the combat is, you'd have to deliberately go up to an enemy and wait until he beats you to raise your lust. Because I didn't do that, I only saw 2 out of the 40+ scenes in the game. Not only that, I couldn't get any romance either.
Needless to say, this is horrible game design. This could have easily been solved by allowing you to rape defeated enemies (like in CoC), allowing you to watch other people having sex (like in Retreat), or just removing the lust checks all together.

I'm still giving the game a good score, just because I found the core game itself fun, but I didn't do much jerking off here.


+ Humour

- Not all characterse are romanceable (and all the romanceable ones are female)
- Continuity errors (mc mentioned sleeping with a char I never slept with)
- Some unintuitive designs - for example, you can't romance Myra without romancing Erika first (and Erika is the most annoying character in game)

Wow. To be honest, I did not expect to see such an awesome RPG! But anecdotally enough, western games somehow always manage to exceed all expectations. Why is it so? Let's see.

Firstly, it is non-linear game. WHAT? Yes, it is! As much as probably could possibly be done with RPGM, the story development depends on player's choices. It ends up being very close in its spirit to classic western rpgs which are famous for being non-linear. Only that means it is a good game on the verge of being great.

Secondly, characters. They are pretty cool! Game is not too long so the authors couldn't really expand too much on that department, but holy shit if they got the maximum out of it. All seen characters have their vision of what's happening, trying to preserve their ideals and it is shown very clearly throughout all the interactions. Also I love how dynamically do they change upon the influence of main character, Kate.

Gameplay is pretty simple, you won't really get too tried of it by the end of the game - as I said previously, you'll probably beat it within few hours. I think I finished mine in 3 hours, not skipping any text and trying to find some side content (which also is there, to some extent).

Art is good enough, can't really say too much about it. Sex scenes are all enjoyable.

Good music choice is also something I feel I should point out.

Not too many bad things either: few typos here and there; some of the story-unrelated writing towards the end feels like a bit crumpled, brief. You probably won't notice it unless you trying to interact with every object you see like I do - much more diversity in the beginning of the game in that regard but it seems like the writer grew tired of it at some point, which is understandable. And the duration of the game was not very long but that's how it is I guess.

Overall, try this wonderful game if you haven't yet. 9/10

its good like the art style but in some of the scene I feel like has lazy syles
and also I wish they could have added increase movement speed cause its such a big place and a lot of walking i just sometimes like minimal walking to get a scene and enjoy a good fap

One of the best examples of a RPGM game. It's quite simple but gets away from the usual RPGM traps. The cast is tight and interesting. Failure is punished but to a very manageable degree, combat is almost entirely optional and the story is decently done. I do wish that there where more moments to maybe explore, talk to characters and maybe find some other fun things. So yha my biggest complaint is that there isn't more of it

I enjoyed the game. The quests / puzzles were interesting enough. The RPGM wasn't abused (i.e. no wandering aimlessly) - in fact, it was an integral part of the game as you tried (or not) to dodge sex fiends. Not great fap material, but the renderings were sexy enough. Not earth shattering, but entertaining none-the-less.

Currently, the writing is....bad. The English has major grammar issues, and the there is a seriously confusing back-and-forth between where the text is located and who it is talking about. Add in extremely unerotic word choices and the whole thing feels like it's made by an awkward 12 year old with a mediocre grasp of English. As for the gameplay and story...honestly, it's every other RPG maker game. Nothing unique, nothing particularly damning or redeeming. Basically sound fundamentals in that regard are why the game skates by with 2 stars instead of 1.

A relatively short (~3h), simple porn game, revolving around mental corruption, and with a fair mix of lesbian and straight sex. Contains a nice cast of fun/ok characters (depending on taste) , good quality artwork, and tolerable gameplay.

Yet I am giving this game 5 out of 5 stars for one reason only - it’s one of the few games around that knows PRECISELY what it wants to do, and sticks to it. The pacing is well thought out, with exploration and plot segments intertwining well. There is a fair number of decisions to make in pursue of various characters, which help immerse in the plot. The plot itself might not be the Lord of the Rings of porn writing, but it’s a good enough not to detract from the experience.

And, most importantly, even though the version is numbered 0.15 as of writing this review, the game’s main storyline is complete, and the creator is now focusing on expending the existing content, adding endgame sex scenes and bonus character endings. A rare treat in a sea of eternally developed (and never finished) patreon games.

Definitely a fun little past time for a lazy evening.
