Version [v0.15]
Took me 26 hours or so for as much completion as I could get and I won't lie I got pretty bored with combat since I fought everything for valuable xp so my fault, boss fights were good enough though so everything else I just spammed attack and skills with my infinite supply of consumables which is VERY nice to have as a legitimate thing within game. Love it when games allow the abuse of mechanics for smoother and/or more fun gameplay even if it ain't much I do appreciate that.
There aren't many reviews but at a glance they fall into two separate camps where the 5 stars love the worldbuilding and interactions which make almost every other rpg maker game (and many other games) I've played look like child's play and that applies even more so to the adult games. The 3 and less stars can't get passed the limiting factors of RPG Maker and I can respect that as I can feel that and there's not much I believe hreserves can do about that. Fair enough of an opinion to have, but as you can see I fall mostly into the first camp.
Combat is serviceable and can even be fun to find combos with party members and enemies aren't rng as you can see them walking around and they don't respawn either which is incredibly refreshing, but if you play like I do and/or get really invested into the plot then the intermittent combat like the Wilds sections can feel like slogs and kill the pacing (not that the pacing is bad but rather I can't be fucked to kill more wolves when I'm trying to collect all the hidden loot and racing to recruit more hot and busty maids)
That brings me to the reason I'm writing the review and can appreciate well made rpg maker games, MTool or I guess any other rpg maker tool. Don't wanna deal with the combat or wanna see fun little details like affection/rep changing with dialog choices (and save a cumulative hour or five of reloading saves normally) then you really do have options.
The sex scenes aren't the best but they're FAR from the worst and I can appreciate them, but they ain't the selling point of the game. The story and writing supersedes the sex scenes in effort and quality though it is there if you don't mind pretty simple and short occasional sex scenes in between pretty long stretches of plot stuff (unless you choose to replay most sex scenes by talking to the girls almost at any time you want) and if you enjoy standard honey select 2 animations with good models and scenes consisting of usually a couple set up still images with usually a single position with a shift in speed before climax still images. It's a pretty consistent pattern for most of the current content, but it does seem to be improving in terms of the amount of images and animations per single scene which can only improve the currently serviceable sex scenes.
If that's not enough or the game really isn't gripping you then fair enough but I hope that any perspective players or players reading this after trying it and not getting into it because of the combat or traveling or whatever rpg maker-ism then I sincerely hope you give MTool or something like it a try. If you can appreciate the story then I believe not doing so would be a disservice to the quality of the writing and details in this game. If nothing else, this game didn't make me feel stupid for obsessively interacting with everything and everybody.
