RPGM - Completed - Mirage's Defection [v1.04] [chimaLABO]

I loved the cast of characters all unique on there own. the game made the protags choices and personality impact how the story played out. If you gave into lust your personality would come of as submissive and unimportant on how you would be viewed to others.

I do like that the dev has the TRUE END as the overall "good ending" where both protags overcome all obstacles and stay together to move on another day. nice tease for the next works heroine (I assume) and how Leo and Luna fit in to the overall story. also like that Luna straight up just kills the demon in the ending, pretty satisfying. And if you like full corruption on both fronts or just the heroine corruption, you'll like that what-if route as well im sure

Love this game, definitely my favorite porn game! I love the character development. I personally played it once by avoiding NTR as much as possible and then replayed twice with the other endings. It doesn't have as many graphics or animations as other games do, but as someone who likes to read porn because I prefer in-depth characters, story, and contextual stations, this game is incredible. The art is also great and cute. There's only a few things I wished would be better: more interaction/choice with Kotori and more NTR scenes that have enemies other than Sadi (like when Luna went to her room with a soldier near the ending). When ending the game, it feels kind of somber like the end of a movie because of how immersive and invested I became.

i would give this game a 3.5 star. its plays very much like a VN, although your choices do matter. there is a lot of text and story telling. thats basically the entire game. there are a good number of scenes and background story telling.

the down side to this game is the gfx and h scenes are about average and you r not gonna get an erection from this game. the story can also be confusing and hard to follow at times. and its not a super fun game due to how the game design works.

overall its a good game, better than the average around here, but falls short of being a great game.

If you liked the first game, A Rift in the Crypt, then you will probably like this game as well.

The NTR remains hot, and it's always nice to see reverse NTR (where the guy is the one stolen by another woman). The story is even better this time around and it's clear the creator is setting up for their own porn franchise.

Don't worry though, if you haven't played the first game. While their are several references to the first game here Mirage is designed to be a standalone game. So if you're curious and looking for a good NTR and reverse NTR game then I would recommend this game.

With that said I do feel the game's story has left behind the actual sex scenes.

So I was thrilled to see the creator challenge themself with this second game. Instead of 6 days we have a whole month this corruption takes place in, instead of only 1 love interest getting NTR it looks like 2.......but sadly both these things prove to be a disappointment.

While 30 days is a good amount of time to have a lot of sex scenes in it, that just doesn't happen. Instead we largely play up the same beats sex wise as Crypt. That is definitely a problem since the scenes in Crypt was paced as a 6 day game, so what does the creator do to fill up the rest of the time?

Well throw in a lot of pointless filler sex. This is where the second LI Kotori comes in. It's very weird, she's clearly setup as the "sister" arch type who has unreturned feelings for the MC. They even give her a lewd stat page like Luna so everything points to her being another LI but then they just straight up delete the stat page and throw her aside. Like I thought we were going to do this neat thing where she's trying to seduce the MC too but the villain is also seducing her and turning her into a demon but no that doesn't happen.

All of her scenes were just so disappointing since the villains just flip a switch (mind blast) and she instantly becomes a slut, no buildup, heck there's not even real corruption there since its clear she's subconsciously against the idea. The villain makes a point of stating this but he honestly doesn't care enough to slowly break her in since his main targe is Luna (other LI). Then mid-month the heroes free her and she's largely just forgotten about sex wise from that point on. She still plays an important role in the story but she lacks any sex scenes in the second half of the game.

There's also ANOTHER seducer character besides the Witch, but she's even worse (I didn't bother remembering her name). She has zero connection with the heroes and isn't interested them at all sexually. She just sleeps with the other guards......it's literally filler sex until we get to the good stuff with Luna and the MC.

At least she contributes a little to the story but sex wise she does nothing and the game would have been better without her scenes in it.

To Mirage's credit I do feel the reverse NTR part was better than the first game. Adding more scenes and buildup to the MC getting seduced by the Witch. But the normal NTR part is hurt by the game's pacing since no new content was put in there which is a shame! With the added time I was expecting their to be more scenes of turning Luna into the base's slut, with her secretly seducing the guards, or acting more slutty in public.

But no, it's pretty much beat for beat the same as in Crypt. (For those who haven't played Crypt I'm taking about your standard "Kiss, grope, handjob, BJ, sex, slut") Now to be clear it's still well written, but the game's pacing hurts it. Honestly this game should be cut in half with all of the fluff in it.

The other major issue this game has is the degradation of the actual game mechanics. Again it seems like at one point they were planning on having this mystery mechanic where you're gathering clues to prove the bad guys are bad before they seduce the heroes and you have to manage your in game time.

But no, this is basically a VN with the occasional choice on who you want to sleep with. There is no thinking here, just the occasional annoyance of searching the map for characters.

And really only your last choice in the game matters (which ending you want to go to). On one hand I did like the fact the game does this since it makes getting the other endings very easy but that's only because I realized I didn't want to play this game again. Which I think shows you that the game has a fundament design problem.

Overall this game is fun and a good time, but I do think it's flawed and a sign that the creator is focusing too much on the story when they also need to be thinking about the smut scenes and game mechanics. Hopefully this trend doesn't continue in the third game.

• Story progression is great
• Artstyle is unique and nice
• Characters are written well enough that the corruptions is pleasurable to see.
• No fighting and combat. Pure story

Overall I recommend this to anyone that wants a slow corruption of your love ones and hides it from you.

Very interesting game! Played in one breath, only because of Luna. In my opinion, she looks like a perfect girl who can be seduced And of course, a small imp in comparison with the graceful and athletic Luna. I want the developer to continue using such a cool character as Luna in future games

P.S. There is only one wish - the scenes need more sex sounds.

this was such a good game. the story was really engaging and touched a part of my heart. the mc is likable, unlike in many ntr games where you don't feel a thing when he gets ntr'd. here, he has depth and a relatability factor too. all the fmcs are really cute, and the gameplay is great. i don't get why people are saying it's grindy; in fact, that's what makes it a better ntr game. can't wait for the next part

Really solid little NTR game.

There's a lot of things I could talk about, but I'll just focus on the one point I think is most important going into this: how much you enjoy this game is going to depend pretty heavily on to what extent you are the type to fill in the blanks and paint more details of a story yourself.

The game allows you to choose whether to resist or succumb to temptation in pretty much every single encounter up until a late-game, explicitly sign-posted branching point. However, it achieves this flexibility by simply not really having things in the rest of the story react very much to your choices up until that point. (There is *some* difference, just not a lot).

I tend to expand on / fill in details as I go, especially for what's going through a character's head as they start falling into depravity, so this worked really well for me. It basically was a largely blank canvas where I could sketch out their fall as they tried occasionally to resist for inexorably sunk deeper regardless. On the other hand, if you tend more toward just wanting to take the story as given, then it could come across as slightly thin, and arguably a bit disconnected in places if you switch between resisting and not.

Even in that case, this certainly isn't a bad game by any stretch! I'd say it's the difference between this being a gem, versus it being an average quality game that's worth a play. Know yourself, and set your expectations going in accordingly!

Great, exceptional game that deserves high score. Engaging easy gameplay with very smooth plot with many choices and whatever you choose it does not become boring till the end whichever route you choose. Very Good Art, but I would better preferred demon antagonist be more adult-like? and more human like Sadi not small imp, but because game was pretty well made it didn't destroy my enjoyment to the game. Also Game being voiced or only moans could make it much better.
Hoping for another good game from ChimaLABO

Mixed feelings about this game.

It has decent models of heroines, but far too few of actual scenes and CGis with those models. It has decent and straightforward layout of the map, but it still wastes far too much time on "gameplay" for far too little content/events.

The story is alright for most part, until it starts falling into endless flashbacks, and the true end is a bit tedious with dialogues, without giving any real reward to the player, as you will see the very same CGI you have already seen.

There is a flexibility to how NTR plays out in this game, but yet it is weak, the Imp feels more of a cuck than the MC is.

Then there is stats screen, which is supposed to be good, but is simply underused and lacks information. For some reason it is also limited to 3 pages.

3/5

The GOOD
- girls are cute
- tried to tell a serious story
- a lot of link with their previous game and lead to their next game
- complicate relationship between characters and interesting interaction between each other.


The Bad
- The sex scene is well writing but the visual is quite boring, just shaking image, and no real animation
- you choice don't really matter, you can always switch one choice and the story goes the other branch immediately. so you can basically choose both choice each time and it doesn't matter at all.
- because of previous issue, the serious story become a joke when you think about it after finish the game and started to reflect back. (I wanted to give this game a 4 stars when finishing it. but after a day or two, I feel it doesn't deserve it.)
- the gallery room is bad, only cg without reply functionality.

I like their previous game more.

This game is absolutely amazing, offering an unforgettable experience that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The story is captivating, the gameplay is smooth and engaging, and the world-building is top-tier, making every moment feel immersive. You can tell the developers put their heart and soul into creating something truly special.

Solid NTR game. You can completely mess around and go for non NTR true route no NTR easily it straight tells you. Story was compelling enough and true route is the non NTR route it seems as this game is building onto a sequel game with different character in works while also discussing about previous game they have made. This game is a slower corruption that more about presentation than just instant corruption and more importantly corruption feels like corruption. You genuinely feel like a prick and the NTR ending genuinely sucks, makes the True Route that much better cuz it was a nice ending.

Very nice game, one of the best ntr games I played loved how much improvement has been from the previous one the multiple endings with avoidable ntr made the game more interesting and hope to see its next sequel

Rating cause I am genuinely shocked at how much I enjoyed this game and it's story. It's not a cinematic masterpiece or anything but as far as porn games go this one was not only well put together in terms of presenting its sexual moments through overworld gameplay but also genuinely moved me (and brought me to tears a couple times) during its emotional story beats. Well done, even the ntr stuff is handled in such a cool way where both characters can 'dabble' but still get the good ending. It's very rare to find a story in one of these sex-oriented worlds which still provides hope for characters despite the depravity. But you can still go all in on the depraved stuff !! Its got something for everyone. Genuine props

If you are looking for a quick fap-material this is not the right place.

(+) beautiful entrances of the main female character during the gameplay;
(+) interesting plot idea and good execution of it;
(+) coolly thought out, and coolly detailed main characters;
(+) sexy heroine, on the one hand we get a sharp but in relation to our character mega sweet personality;
(+) it's very easy to get into the atmosphere of the game, not only through the music but also through the structure of the game itself;

( - / +) nice erotic scenes, but I think that for a game of this caliber, there are a little too few of them.
( - / +) very nice artwork, but it's a bit of a pity that the game from 2024 does not have animation

I think that the game quite universal - however, there is no denying that it is, however, a treat for fans of NTR. Certainly not those who are looking for a quick game because the game is, contrary to appearances (as long as you read everything and so on), rather long and it rocks rather late in the game.

It's a title for people who are looking for an intriguing - cool story in the NTR aspect.
I recommend -.^

Yeah, this game makes into the "masterpiece" list I have in my head. Story, characters, and even gameplay to some extent, it has all well put together into a cohesive structure that suspends disbelief and messes with your emotions, from the beginning until the end. And if by any chance you have a taste in any way close to me, it might as well mess with your heart, as you see yourself being corrupted together with the MC. I'm sure you'll love the main antagonist.

On the other hand, we don't have anything endearing about the male antagonist. That's one bad point about the game. I don't remember that little thing's name, so if you're the type who enjoys a more fleshed out "bull" for the main FMC, you may find yourself disappointed.

It's also slightly disappointing that Kotori didn't get much involvement and if I'm not mistaken, there isn't a single H-scene between her and the MC. I can see some of you sighing that they did the "best girl"(Kurone actually) dirty. She's quite endearing after all

Some characters from previous games make an appearance, but as it is to be expected it's not the main focus here. Not much eye candy associated with it too.

I'm surprised that the side characters got some fleshing out, but don't expect too much. Still, you'll enjoy some bits here and there.

And the main character. People have already talked but this, but I think that his biggest shining point is not in how he grows as a character throughout the game, but in how he stays consistent and true to his character(forget the paradise ending. Pretend it doesn't exist). From the beginning until the end, Leo is the same Leo and I never saw him do anything that felt out of character. This is so rare nowadays for main characters that I feel like crying tears of joy.

H scenes are not much, but the little there is has a ton of build-up and the build up is GOOD. I assure you. I've seen games with better art be way less exciting than this one. You won't be disappointed.

Some of the other bad points already walked through down here, like the fact your choices feel quite meaningless in the beginning, because you can just branch it out whichever way later.

Incredibly well done game, Nice story! I Liked how the game progresses and its nice to have a sequel of a game. The art is nice and the ntr part is good as well. Managed to get the true ending without following guides, so its a + for me

I won't say much about the story since it's definitely the best part of this game but it definitely is the best NTR game i've played story wise and a big step up from their last game. the game only has one big downside: The H scenes aren't very good at all and there isn't that many compared to similar games of the genre. Just a warning since this game is 70% story and 20% H scenes but the story was so fun and entertaining that it got me to stay. Also loved how the protagonist wasn't a complete wimp but still wimpy enough and i actually enjoyed some of his character devolvement. Hopefully chima's next game in this universe goes 50/50 on H scenes AND story so they can make a truly perfect NTR game. Only problem i have with this game outside of the low quality Cg's is the game holds your hand a lot and it let's you choose a NTR route regardless of how you acted until that point, Kind of makes the corruption and your actions up until that point feel useless. TLDR: This is basically a story game isn't good if you're here for a quick fap. A shame too since Luna has the best design out of chima's works so far.

I love this game, as a sucker for Ntr games that have some form of redemption/pure ending this game had me invested.
So lets talk about the main parts of the game

(Review is full of spoilers so its better to check other reviews if you don't want spoilers!)

Also many complaints are about the gameplay which all I have to say is, this a basically a story game. If you don't like reading for 90% of the time and walking around then your not gonna like Mirage. (Though you are missing out on a amazing story if you do skip)
Anyways back to the review.

1. NTR
The Ntr is quite slow and required a lot of build up. The main Heroine Luna is the main target of Ntr and scenes with her really only start around Ep 3. Most side characters like Kotori (Knight girl) & Kurone (Mage girl) will have unavoiable sex scenes so don't expect to be able to do much about them. (You'll know why if you play the game.)
Just like the creators previous game this is a double reverse ntr game, you can also ntr the main girl. Luna the main girl is in one of the typical, I have to do this for him kind of scenarios and Mc is being seduced by another girl with a form of mental magic. Both games by Chima are very heavily story based so if you really want to get into the game you should never skip lines. They all have meaning. The game indicates this multiple times so if your not trying to get Ntred or get the pure ending, you will have to pay semi attention. The game helps a lot in guiding you.

Gameplay
Well, pretty much non existent, you will not being fighting any monsters. Instead you will have to just spend most of your time walking around and searching for characters. As this game mostly focues on its story rather then gameplay.
The map system is convenient though walking around can be quite tedious.
Mp is a important part of the game as well.
Many people struggle to manage it from what I've seen so heres how I did it. The only time I ever managed Mana was when I aimed for the True ending, which I got without having to rely on Kurone.

To manage Mana you should mostly rely on getting mana on days your not forced to make a barrier, you get a few so make sure to visit the cafeteria in the afternoon. Its a guranteed 15+ mana without in consequences or time skips. Only rely on Luna when you are around 20 to 30 mana. Having 40+ is more then enough and also make sure to manage Luna's mana as well. Give her days to recover as her scenes with the Devil will take mana from her.
I cleared the true ending without using Kurone even once for mana so Im not sure if you should but if its necessary then shes the last resort.
Just make sure to visit the cafeteria every afternoon.
It has the same corruption system as Rift but a seperate section to see what actions Luna has done, its a easy way to see if you've made a mistake or not.
Also make sure to make many many saves as certain choices will lead to different ending paths.

Sex Scenes/Cgs
The scenes/cgs were definetly the biggest let downs in the game. Many of the scenes were just resused images with different dialogue which can definetly break the immersion for many players. This was probably the biggest complaint said by most players in both Rift and Mirage so I hope Chima can find someway to fix it. Personally I still liked the scenes but I can see why people were unsatisified espicially for the full corruption scenes.

Story
I love the story of Mirage defection, we get a good look into Leo the mc and why he isn't confident in himself despite being from such a prominent family. The story shows how he comes to find confidence in himself while being able to rely on his close companions. He learns of his trauma and is able to move past it and is finally able to confront the actual issue of the game. His response to Luna's love and Kurones corruption is just a cherry on top.
Espicially Kurone as we learned in rift that the main Villain (Sadi) manipulates women into loving him yet Mirage showed not only can they still be emotionally affected despite the manipulation. But that mirage as a ability can somewhat nullify / restore memories , similar to Hayato's divine protection. With the final reveal of the next games most likely location (Orion) which could lead to Celia and Hayato meeting Leo and Kotori.
Personally I love Kurones character, she is a character that showed compassion for others despite it not being beneficial for her at all (Considering that she's the main antangonist). Like how she saved Kotori from being recorrupted to even trying to teach Luna how to save Leo.
Kurone as a character gets a huge set up for redemption despite her being the main antangonist along side ivillia in Mirage.
She even falls in love with Leo (Semi) which brings her a new obession regarding him. Showing how Sadi's Powers are not absolute again (First time was Anna), with the reason being Sadi's selfishness / arrogance working against him.
The story ends off with a cliff hanger, revealing the actual person who has the goddess blood in her and revealing where the next game will most likely take place.
Which ties perfectly with the ending of Rift in the Crypt. Im just a sucker for Ntr games with a true pure ending lmao

Overall I love this game, I'm not someone who complains often but neither am I usually impressed but this story has me obessed with knowing what comes next. The build ups are done wonderfully and it really does help you understand the characters. Espicially the developement of Leo the mc.
He is one of those typical dense annoying mc's at first even being called out for it by Kurone, however the game developes him in way where you can actually feel his growth. His ability to finally command confidently and to even declare his rescue of Kurone despite her betrayal and the dangers of the mission shows just how much he actually grew as a character.
Excited for the next game Chima, keep it up!
