    Had been wanting to play this game for a while and was really thrown off by the start of it and genuinely considered dropping it, however I stuck with it as I had heard it was good and as I kept playing I started to enjoy it more and more. I really like the story and characters as they feel pretty real and generally had a great time with it! Excited for more updates and recommend getting through the beginning as it does get good

    It's got a LOT of text, but not much actual plot IMHO. I consider this a slow burn game because despite years of development there really isn't much actual sex for a sex game.

    Graphics are the best element, which is why it's a 4 star however, a word of caution is due to the slow pace of story and development, I would predict this will end in abandonment.

    Play only if you can accept these issues and the non-native English dialogue.

    Beautifully rendered work of art with a story that focuses on individual emotions. A little short for a V0.61 though, only 3+ hours of playtime currently.

    Story
    MC got killed and resurrected by a goddess into an alternate universe that requires him to romance and pick up LIs in his school so that his master can rejuvenate. That’s really all there is to it, a simple and recurring plot among AVNs, but the game’s strengths isn’t really in the main story, but more on the daily interaction and emotional engagement with the various LIs.

    Game Mechanics
    AVN with choices that matter. Your choices will actually affect the sex scenes that come up and also your relationship with LIs, so there’s a need to run through a few times to unlock the entire gallery.

    Background / Character Renders
    Very beautifully rendered and instead of the usual 3D characters and stock assets, the developer has adopted a tranquil color palette where the background and character renders actually feel somewhat Anime-ish without losing 3 dimensional depth.

    There is also a lot of emphasis on facial expressions, so you will see a lot of subtle changes in the characters during interaction that matches the dialogue along the way.

    The art style is unlikely to appeal to those going for realism renders, but for me it’s an innovative and beautiful approach which fits the overall mood and LI stories well.

    Character Development
    In a sense, each individual LI’s character development and personal growth is the main story of Murmur. Though they sort of fit into certain archetypes, the detailed interaction and subtle changes that take place during the game breathes life into them.

    The MC’s interaction with his mistress is also quite interesting - it alternates between being dominated, challenged, teased and loved. Definitely much more nuanced that the usual either femdom or male dom one way interaction we see in similar stories.

    Sex Scenes
    Beautiful - many of them could have passed for soft porn if not for the explicit angles. There is a lot of attention to detail like camera angles, BGM, dialogue, facial expressions and animation. For e.g. the scene with Yui feels more like actually making love than fucking on a porn set.

    A high thumbs up also for the animations - they are very long (not the usual 2 - 3 second loops) and the loops recur smoothly without visible jarring. Fantastic visual experience.

    BGM and Sound Effects
    Because of the material, most of the BGMs are on the soft side fading into the background - they are not memorable but compliment in building up the mood well.

    Currently sound effects is still in testing phase and only available in the first chapter of the game, but it sounds good enough so hopefully they can be implemented across soon.

    Conclusion
    Murmur is one of the rare AVNs out there where one stays for the ambience and character immersion rather than a good story and sex scenes. The unique graphical style is unlikely to appeal to people who prefer realistic 3D models, but if you are open to it then this will be a fantastic experience.

    Going toss MurMur a 3.8 rating. It is fairly short, especially for the length of development, though I understand it went through a remake. The quality of the remake is fairly good though, so I don't see any drawbacks for the game in deciding to do that. The only thing it did is delay the length of the story and completion of the title, which while unfortunate was overall positive.

    + Good renders - not 2024 super high quality, but good enough to attract most viewers
    + Easy to remember characters who are all very different, and likable in their own ways
    + Enough females and body types to cater to all sorts
    + Easy to follow story, which has a little twist to it (no spoilers!)
    + Some good animations, which also come with some different points-of-view to oogle

    - Simple writing (and a ton of it to read). Probably due to translation it comes off more like writing a 17-yo would produce. Doesn't detract too much from the enjoyment.
    - The game is (at times) a very slow burn. It still only has (as of v0.6.1) one actual sex scene (not a handjob or oral) with full-on penetration, but it's a good one. At least that's all I saw with my all-lewd choices.
    - Not sure how MurMur was translated, but it has a lot of grammatical errors, Japanese (?) terms, and erroneous phrasing that didn't quite smooth out the read. Still not too bad overall though.
    - As mentioned, it's short due to the remake despite having been in development a while

    Still a worthwhile play if you're interested in decent AVNs, just don't think it'll carry you past ~1 day of gameplay.

    Overall- 8/10
    Hentai protagonist classic setting game - don't think too hard about everything - light-hearted game with beautiful models and good animation.
    Game not complete - a lot of LI, not a lot of scenes with them - has potential and big room for growth
    Story - 7/10
    Isekai -> College kid in summer school
    Isekai -> make love to women to satisfy succubus
    Nothing special it is basic - this game isn't meant to be story intensive so it's fine. Nothing crazy, not bad.
    Characters - 9/10
    MC - isekai dude with love powers from succubus - hentai protagonist vibes
    Girls - each of them have a list of traits + kinks you need to find out
    Animation - 8/10
    Smooth animations - clean but nothing long - pleasing to the eyes
    Hscenes - e.g. you choose which scene of it you want to see, clean loop
    Renders - 9/10
    Models look good - nothing crazy just pleasing to the eyes
    Sound - 7/10
    BGM - soothing, chill - better than nothing
    Playability - 8/10
    Very short - game not completed
    Not much lag
    Intermission scenes in between chapters - gives ur brain some rest
    Dialogue is chill - light-hearted game
    Quite little amounts of choices - more than love/lewd choices would be good

    Giggling Raven

    It has some very good points but at the same time some very infuriating ones. The girls are all beautiful and sweet, even if very stereotypical at times. The graphics are good and the facial expressions do really reflect the girls' emotions but I dislike the 1-2-3 options to choose the scenes, especially how they don't flow well with just pressing Space Bar or Enter to just progress with the story/dialogue so we need to click an arrow to progress and I found that it sometimes works with the keyboard arrows but sometimes it doesn't.

    The story isn't all that new and innovative but it works. The girls, especially both Sophie and Yui are extremely sweet and I love when they're on scene. Helen is also great and only Liz feels a bit grating at times with how easily she antagonizes Helen. I'm not big into incest but both Liz and Kate feel alright, especially how Kate wants to ease the other girls into the harem. Speaking of which, it's kind of refreshing how they're made aware of the others into the relationship quite early even if it doesn't feel realistic but we can at least chalk that up to the goddess' powers.

    Now something that I really hate about this game: every time Shinigami (like seriously, that's her name?) appears, I just feel mad. I'm not a fan of femdom but I usually go at games like this with the hope that we'll have enough of a choice to see these types of scenes or not and the slut goddess just treats MC like shit every time. She's really infuriating every time she's on scene, which is rather remarkable in a way, so if it was dev's intent on making her unlikeable at first, they did a good job at that. The scene where MC wakes up being mind controlled to masturbate in front of his sleeping sister was beyond terrible and I'm surprised he brushes it off so easily with her (Shinigami). I hope there will be chances in the future to fight against her control and hopefully reverse the roles entirely with her.

    When I found this game I wasnt expecting it to be THIS good looking. I love its style. It has some "heavy" topics which are being carefully handled while maintaining a good chunk of naughtiness.
    I seriously like ALL LIs and thats kinda rare for me.
    The dialogues have a good mix between inner self monologues and "deeper" talks trying to portray the feelings of the people talking.
    The animations and art in general looks amazing.
    The final hit gave me Kate, the mother. She looks SO HAWT, she is basically SHINING in motherly love and lewdness, it made me make saves on every different new frame she was shown.. jesus, she is just this hawt damn, unfortunately she just got introduced so there arent many scenes, but she already got started to get conquered so there is this..
    Speaking of "already getting conquered" i like that the plot is going on "fast". Like its not meet and f*k but the characters are getting fleshed out enough that you get to know enough about them but also get to the lewd parts really fast.. this makes me as a guy, who played way tooo many AVNs recently, really happy. This way we will probably get to see lots of great lewd scenes with the LIs.

    So the reason why im rating this game so high is, because... it just has the perfect balance between having "heavy" topics and lewdness and keeps the general atmosphere still "light hearted"
    Its really good. Im sad to see that the game has been released in 2019 but "only" has 6 chapters so far, apparently they decided to remake them... so yea...

    Anyways, its a top tier game, you should try it, its nice.

    Good wishes and luck to the people working and playing this game!

    Edit: reading through the negatives reviews makes me sad. People sometimes just love to talk down on things and bash on things people tried to work really hard on. And other ppl just upvoting this kind of down talking.. its cruel.
    I hope the ppl reading them wont get pushed out by those and will still try it out.

    This visual novel game is an absolute masterpiece in every aspect. From the captivating storytelling and well-developed characters to the stunning artwork and immersive soundtrack, it surpasses all expectations. Every decision feels meaningful, leading to multiple riveting endings. A true gem in the world of interactive storytelling. 5/5 stars without a doubt!

    Game version: 0.6.1 REMAKE

    I do not remember the first time I played this game until the end of the then-version, but the story is SO bad and cringeworthy, I don't even understand why I hadn't trashed the game years ago.

    A hot milfy-teacher, on which you "accidentally" fall while grabbing her booba; the 08/15 hot (female!) demon who gifts you lewd powers, even if every girl and woman already fell for you on first sight... I just doesn't stop there.
    Been there, done that...The aging of the game and gameplay shows now, badly (2019 -> 2023)
    The render quality is "okay" at worst, but nowhere "outstanding" any more, like it used to when it started.
    I got the feeling, that it should have been released years ago, not being remade in a time where it feels redundant.

    Still haven't caught up all the way from the previous version,but let me tell you I couldnt help myself but to write a review.

    These new scenes and character reworks look stunning. really hats off to the dev I'm really impressed.
    Been a big fan of the game even before the rework, so I was happy to see old scenes I liked updated and improved, really knocked it out of the park.

    All I gotta tell you is to keep up the great work and I cant wait to see future updates once I finally get caught up with the rework.

    I like a lot about this game, the models are really good compared to the ugly attempts at realism so many other games go for, a style that ruins a large chunk of them for me. My only real problems would have to be the dialogue being somewhat poor, and there being some pretty low quality assets in use that can contrast heavily with the high quality assets used. For example, the gym just looks really low quality, and then you transition to the locker room and everything just looks like 4k in comparison. Besides those gripes, it's quite good.

    4,5*

    As per 0.6
    Gotta say, this game deserves to be in my top 10 avn. top 5 bit tight but im sure for top 10 it is, dethroned another title. Heres why i think this game deserve it:

    + At this point it doesnt introduce too many LIs which possibly means more focus on each main LI story, deeper bonding and more events with each of em. All games in my top 10 are those with LIs that i can count with one hand. Personally, i dislike the idea of side LIs with short half-ayd bonding story, might as well just create another game and make deeper story about em, especially when they outshine main LIs and eat up main LIs content slot.
    Expendables nymphomaniac extra LIs that doesnt affect the story just to introduce full intercourse scene and preserve main LIs is fine takes i guess, especially to sate those fast coomer reader, even sometimes that trick would still trigger em and getting lame when being overused.
    Still, this game havent use this trick yet, which personally i think its good, but if dev decide to use it once in a while i think the mc background with magic/supernatural power gift to corrupt women can score him some quickie/casual meetup with some random girls he meet along the story, it can definitely fit in somewhere in plot without affecting the story.

    + Contrary to majority who thinks the sexual pacing is slow, for me its perfect. Most who think its slow are fast coomer who wont stop playing until they hit full sexual intercourse and finally wank it off and incapable handling blueballing because the story lengthier than the softcore sexual content, in short, they are those who should just watch porn instead of reading cause they miss the essence of avN. I will even still feel fine if one of LI that recently unlocked full intercourse didnt get it as early as 0.6 and dev decided to stall some more, milk more sexual story out of her and paving to a deeper climax bonding story, i would still think its natural sexual pacing. Unfortunately i know the pressure from this majority of peeps, especially when they are majority of your patron. It happens to too many games i know wher people pressuring dev to introduce full intercourse faster. I hope your writer dont get pressure from them and still firm about their decision on story.

    + The art is sure polished and non of the LIs i dislike. Usually i would found at least 1 LI i couldnt care off because i dont like the design but here all the model are lookin good, the model reflect their pesona pretty well and their facial expressions are always on point and feels alive during conversation, its worth praise.

    + 0.5 star itself for bring out the bleeding virgin moment greatly. Most games with "biologically virgins" LI rarely emphasis this moment. I found another games that also in my top 10 as well that try to bring out this moment to live but it didnt have proper consistency, meanwhile this game have it. it couldve been 1 star itself if its stalls with some more LI dialog and angle that emphasis the sacred moment some more, spycing it up by slowing it down by adding some lovey dovey act, dirty talk, or even monologue embracing the moment like its heavenlike for mc but hella pain for LI. It certainly couldve been more perfect with more realistic animation effect, but so far, this game bleeding virgin moment i found to be the best in term of consistency, even if its just applied with darker d or hint of blood, its better than others who tried it but gave 0 follow up to it.

    + i like the clean ui, unique title screen image, nice bgm pick. the gallery separation between replay and animation kinda confused me tho, couldve been just merged into one where animation added with proper dialog length before and/or after that scene and add it to replay. The blooper section is quite intriguing, if its like what i think it is, i hope its just some extra content that will only introduce after all is done or more solid contents been made cause i think even if its blooper it will still takes quite some slot of development itself and as of now its better to prioritize on somethin else.

    - Storywise its typical secondlife experience, meeting some godlike entity, combined with school life and harem experience. i got it that most reviewer might gave this aspect low mark especially based on their subjectivity due to experience from playing too many avn with similar story. I do hope your own story will have its own charm, with interesting twists, or unique takes. One way to make it more charming is introducing humours, fun situation or funny extra character that obviously should fit in the stroyline perfectly, and since the story goes quite some time thats definitely some work to be done if extra funny character on the way. The devil doll scene is nice touch, theres some humour in it as well, the character could definitely make use as the game clown that jump in story bits ,appears more often, reduce the tense or add some surprise twist.

    - the missing 0.5* comes from the no voice sfx, and im not talking about ambience which most games misinterpret it but actual LIs voice sfx and sexual contents sfx. Some spicy sfx like moan, flop, spurt etc wouldve make this game hella spicier. Its still understandable tho given even in my top 5 there are only two games that have this aspect. at the very least this game doesnt include "voice" option in setting but having no voice at all like in many other games played and i felt scammed for it or again they just misinterpret ambience as voice.

    Overall, good game.
    i found the sexual conquest is great and im up for it to keep continue chasing each LIs, its game worth to watch and i cant wait to unlock more LIs content.
    i would gladly recommend it for anyone who are into story and capable of handling blueballing, those who havent dig into this typical story too much, otherwise they might find it quite repetitive or already foundout another alternative that perhaps having more content.
    as of now Its definitely not recommended for those who just play to seek full sexual intercourse experience cause this game only have one and i said it not as bad thing because in my defense for this game its just too good playing with teases and for my own taste im perfectly fine with the current sexual pacing.

    I hope the game getting more spotlight, all supports it need, and constant steady update. if anyone have $ layin around to spare and love avn i suggest kindly pledge as their patron.

    well done dev~

    Murmur is one of the better games when it comes to facial expressions. The developer has taken a lot of time to show constantly changing facial expressions in every dialogue.
    Although the graphics are anime, the protagonists only mildly behave like anime, mostly visually, but the dialogue is more normal with a dash of cuteness for good measure. It never felt intrusive or annoying which can easily happen in this genre.

    The plot is interesting but not outstanding. There is a demon (?) who revives the protagonist to corrupt a number of women for him. Whether you do that or prefer to go the love route is up to you. The plot is a bit slice of life, a bit fantasy, a bit anime. But so much of everything that it fits together well into a whole.
    For five stars I miss a little bit of a red thread. Everything is meandering and there is obviously a main plot in the background, but the story could use a bit of focus since it's not always obvious where it's going.

    Real score is 3 ½ out of 5. Points taken off for too many spelling and grammar errors and for too few erotic scenes given the game’s current length at version 0.6.



    Warning: Female domination is noted in the list of genres, and it is unavoidable. You will be forced to receive a handjob, then later a footjob, and finally forced to give cunnilingus to one of the characters. I’m not a fan of female domination and did not like these scenes, and would have preferred an option to turn the tables, but that is not on offer here. If you look at female domination the way others look at NTR, you may want to skip this title. For myself, I don’t like it, but as long as it’s not core to the gameplay I can look past it.



    Noteworthy achievement: Excellent coding work with a complex structure that contains no inconsistencies. For example, the game requires that you successfully romance all of the characters for plot reasons, and if for some reason you fail to do so it is noticed and a scene plays out where you have to fix it. There’s even a hidden ending that occurs if you deliberately avoid romancing anyone, and another if you avoid being nice to the supernatural entity that’s core to the gameplay, choosing only non-love options. Excellent touches, and appreciated given how much work must have gone into the game’s structure, above and beyond what I’m used to seeing.



    It’s a good premise for an adult visual novel. MC dies and is reincarnated with a plot-related need to romance a handful of love interests and begin a harem. The supernatural elements help with suspending disbelief, and you’re given the choice of following a romantic or a corrupt route, though the differences not as significant as I was expecting with corrupt options tending to have more adult content while still being relatively safe. A better way to describe it would be romantic versus lustful.



    If do have some advice for the author (who is free to take it with a grain of salt! I’m just some guy with an opinion after all.)

    1. I like the idea of getting to know the different love interests and finding out their backstories, but the game would benefit from more dramatic elements (the stuff that makes you care) outside of learning their backstories. Would make the world feel more real and lived in. Chance encounters during a date for example, or an issue with school faculty. I’ve never interacted with a character who wasn’t one of the love interests except at the very beginning of the story, which leads me to point 2.



    2. The love interests appear to be the only people who exist in the world. Given the supernatural element, it’s certainly possible that there’s a big reveal coming where they literally ARE the only people in the world, but if that’s not the case it would be nice to see some non-love interest characters in the game. It feels a bit empty. Even going the route of having blacked-out silhouettes as a couple other games have done would still make the world feel more alive. I get that rendering more characters in a scene is a pain in the ass, but it would be worth the effort.



    3. More adult content! It’s fine to take your time, but the pacing is a little too slow for me. It might be a side effect of it being a harem game, but going through the same hug, kiss, fondle, hand job, fingering scenario with every single love interest, in sequential order, can feel a little laborious. That said, the content you have done is pretty good. At least two scenes “worked” quite well!



    Room for improvement, but a good game overall and one I’m looking forward to seeing the next chapter of.

    Murmur is in many ways your typical supernatural harem game. Adult MC dies, loses most of his memories, meets a goddess who sends his soul into the body of a recently deceased young man who is still in high school, and the goddess has one demand, the MC needs to create a haren with all the girls and women he meets so her power can be restored. Should the MC fail it will be his death since the goddess keeps him alive and she needs the power his romantic entanglements will provide her. So she can only keep the MC alive and guarantuee his survival if he succeeds. This is the motivation for him to go after everyone.

    The game uses Honey Select and as far as HS games go this is probably one of the very best looking ones. There is great attention to detail and there are many, many renders for facial expressions. So the characters you meet feel quite alive and emote much more than in most other VNs. That being said, if you don't care so much for the typical HS aesthetic, this game won't change your mind. But rest assured that you will most likely not find a better looking HS game.
    The game has a POV perspective.... so many times girls will kiss empty air, which I find silly. Ever so rarely you do get actual kissing scenes with the MC's head obscured or shown from the back or cut off above the lips, the usual.
    And while character design and graphics are usually very good, the MC's penis looks like a plastic toy, that was a bit weird. But it's not a major issue.
    The game world is a bit empty. There are virtually zero NPCs, only the MC and his love interests. You won't find background NPCs or maybe just friends, family, parents in this game. And when a stepfather is mentioned even confronted you never see that, you only know it happens. So things can look pretty deserted and a bit eerie.

    So not everything is great in this game, depending on personal preference.

    For one, there are no real paths. You must accept each and every girl into your harem or else it's game over.
    And that means you may have to put up with characters you may like less than others.
    Now I would assume that there is hardly any character in this game people will vehemently dislike. You do get the usual stereotypes here.

    - the nerdy cosplay girl with a kitty fetish
    - the very shy and insecure girl, she stutters a lot when she's nervous, and she's always nervous - after a while I found it no longer endearing but annoying... and it never stops. That being said Yui gets the best scene in the entire game
    - the sporty girl (she's the sister with the patch)
    - the very understanding milf harem enabler (who is the mom with the patch)
    - the sexy teacher with a troubled personal history
    - the kinky and naughty one (the goddess)

    Three of the love interests are teenagers, two are "milfs" and then there's the goddess who is technically speaking also an adult, but she will also appear as a schoolgirl in disguise . Character design is varied, you can easily tell the women apart. The adults and one teenager have ballon breasts, apparently people like that, I don't, but it is what it is. The goddess and Sophie have smaller breasts, Yui falls somewhere inbetween, her breasts are big, but not too big. So there's something for everyone in this game, which is probably the way to go. People who like big breasts will be happy, people who prefer more natural looking and smaller breasts aren't ignored though.

    One potential problem in the game is that it alternates between the love interests, which means you will get VERY long scenes with each of the women individually. And by long I mean REALLY long. For example one interaction with Yui close to the end of the current build probably takes an hour or more real time. It virtually goes on forever. And the interactions with the other love interests, while not as long, still take much longer than you may expect and certainly much longer than in many other harem games. This is owed to the fact that this is a mini harem with just six women. And at least Yui's ultra long sequence ends on a high note. All of the other interactions will also result in either a lovey-dovey scene or a more steamy scene.

    These very long scenes with each love interest can be both a positive and negative thing. The positive thing is that you get plenty of time to get to know each character in detail. The negative thing is that if you dislike one of the love interests you could get a bit annoyed or bored. Of course you can always use the ctrl key in that case.

    What may annoy you is that the supposedly 18+ teenagers can at times behave like 13-year-olds who kiss a boy for the first time. That's at least how some of the interactions feel with them. These are young women, 18 at least. They should not behave like that. It's probably meant to be endearing, but it makes them look and feel quite immature at times. Especially Yui feels much younger than she is supposed to be. And she stutters all the time when she's nervous...

    That in turn resulted in me greatly preferring the actual adults in the game. But only Helen and the goddess have a few scenes... Kate the (not) mom has very few scenes, and zero scenes on the love path.

    Another thing that may or may not bore or annoy you a bit is the very verbose nature of the game. There is a lot of dialogue. And I mean a LOT. So depending on what kind of game you prefer Murmur may either be a chatty ultra slow burn game with far too few intimate scenes... or it's just the right kind of ultra slow burn that makes you appreciate each character a lot more. This is certainly one of the rare harem games where the characters are pretty fleshed out and deep, not necessarily as in "complex", but you learn a lot about how they tick, what they like and dislike and so forth.

    To give you an idea how few actual sex scenes are in this game... In my playthrough and on the love path the MC will have sex with exactly one love interest... and that only at the very end of the current build. So several hours of playtime. All other scenes (on the love path) are more or less intense petting/groping/kissing/oral sex. Not nothing of course, quite intimate, but if you want actual sex... you will need to be patient.

    Now you do have some choices here though. This game uses a - in my opinion - somewhat silly love/lewd points system. Love is, as you may guess, usually the romantic choice, but in this game also often the much less steamy option. The lewd option is more about instant gratification and you will get several more steamy scenes only by picking the lewd option.

    That being said picking the lewd option is not always be best choice, depending on what kind of content you like.
    With the teacher Helen you will get a scene in a love hotel. If you pick the love option here it will result in kissing, fondling of the breasts (the teacher keeps her towel on though) and she will eventually finger herself.
    If you pick the lewd option instead the MC will go down on her much to her delight. Which may be a bit more exciting for many.

    But with Liz things are pretty different... you will eventually get a scene with her and if you choose the lewd option it results in a - in my opinion - very boring handjob (I wish VNs would do away with them altogether, it's so boring most of the time). If you pick the love option however the MC will go down on Liz and pleasure her, which - again, my opinion - felt better and more steamy. The scene was also longer. So it's not always consistent. Just check out the scene you consider non-canon in your playthrough and then reload and choose your canon option. You can easily see all scenes this way.

    So you are free to choose here. I chose mostly a love path, a few characters have 1 lewd point or so, so I can't say too much about a lewd path and how it affects dialogue througout the game. I just checked out the lewd scenes out of curiosity, then reloaded the game and picked the love option for the actual playthrough.
    On the love path the MC is more or less "ok". Not super great, he's your average ultra horny young man who wants to make love to everything that moves (motivated by the alternative, which is "death").

    I do find the notion of "love" often resulting in less steamy content a bit silly though, it perpetuates the outdated idea that love and passion/sex/desire are somehow mutually exclusive. You certainly need to be a lot more patient on the love path.

    The game also has lots of music... you may recognize some of the tracks from other games. Music is ok though, if you don't like it you can just mute it of course.

    One thing I don't really like is how there are literally no obstacles for the MC. Everything is made super easy for him. The goddess sees to it that all the females already like the MC (she doesn't explain how). So he doesn't have to convince any of them to like him.
    The entire harem aspect is also resolved super conveniently. It turns out all almost all the women are super ok with sharing. The one love interest who is less enthusiastic about it still accepts it.

    Now if you like games without drama this will maybe please you. But it also means that there is zero conflict in the game, zero tension and everything can feel a bit boring. Especially given the fact that the game is so dialogue heavy.

    But if you like a wholesome drama free game this is of course a huge plus.

    Another thing, the character sheets list (unknown at first) kinks for each character. If you start this game in the expectation of getting some actual kinky stuff... you may be disappointed, the kinks are all pretty "normal" and mostly just cute and very tame. Not to spoil too much, but one kink is merely "getting undressed", another is cute "pet play as a kitty"... and the other kinks fall into the same category, more or less, further cementing the very wholesome nature of the game. So don't go in expecting any dark(er) stuff. You won't find it in this game!

    So... who will enjoy Murmur? Fans of story driven slow burn harem games with a very manageable roster (six love interests so far) and a huge focus on the various characters will probably really like or even love this game.

    If you want a harem game with plenty of girls, lots of action and with a focus on the "action" part... Murmur will almost certainly either bore you to tears or outright annoy you.

    In my opinion Murmur has many things going for it, but for my own personal tastes the story lacks some drama, some tension, some conflict, everything is a bit too easy. And there is a certain imbalance between dialogue and more steamy scenes, the game would need a couple more scenes maybe to break up the very long dialogue here and there. Maybe it would have been better to shorten the individual interactions with the women and instead to alternate between them more often.
    So I'd rate this game more like 3.5 stars... but the excellent renders and the fact that most love interests are pretty good (though not really original) round up that score to 4 stars, really good. But not excellent.

    However, if you like story driven, character focused (ultra) slow burn mini harem games - absolutely give Murmur a try! You will not be disappointed and probably love the experience!

    I remember when this first started good plot few renders left me wanting more right away.

    Fast forward I finally have down time and have 0.4 downloaded and im playing half way through and I decide to check if there was a update and sweet there was 0.6

    I am at a loss for words honestly the story towards the end and the way things were with
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    it drew me in more and more.

    Up to the ending I was stuck and captivated by the story and this is me talking from not playing anything since the first release I knew it had potential to be great from the start but didn't expect or know where it would go and I loved it.

    The renders are great each girl's problems and personality fit its a all around great experience for me and leave me wanting more.

    I can't wait to see what happens with the rework of the first section and where the lil seductress Ami or what ever she wants to call herself carries us from here.

    Excellent Grading Can't Describe it with words Alone Im Highly Intrigued With its Quality of Precision Work Each character has different impression between each dialogs with excellent Word choice As if the Game was made using a Dictionary With Bits of lack of animation it's not perfect nor is it Bad It's in between Both With great Angles
    Recommended aswell to not add sound in Sex animation Until you've finally made a perfect sound

    You could Either Ask Najar a Great Sex/Hentai Animator and Sound Designer Recommended to check his patreon or some of his pirated works on other Websites all I can say is that They're all top notch With high quality of sound might fit with your game actually
    And all of his works had lifelike on them Mostly beautiful

    Back to the topic
    The Game Had No Problems At all Except the starting Scene with the Onii Chan part Kind of little bit well nonetheless doesn't matter Every aspect of the game are High Quality especially the character model Design which you won't find in other games specially Nutaku most of their Games disappointed Me and even their character design kind of bitsy to it

    While this game had an unique character design That is Humongously has a superior a dominant Looks specially Helen and Kate every time I see them they just made me act in a way I've never really expected to be they're just way too much
    And of course the same goes for other character

    Game Design as well of course It has a beautiful setting for an environment and housing style like a retro one and perfect character placement between the designated Area perfectly thought of and amazing Ui
    The developers had a Greatest Masterwork with their excellent mind perfectly planned

    The Bad thing is That there's only a small quantity of people That had discovered this work It needs a recognition and proper connection I'm afraid of such great Art undiscovered
    Might have a chance of being discovered in the far future and might receive it's Deserved recognition it might be too late by then
    Nonetheless this work is going to stay in the internet for eternity


    I am Praying for more options to come between the interaction
    Excellent

    Beautiful game, great characters, animated scenes are perfect, almost real. To see them all, I had to do some saves, so I followed one route, came back, and followed another. Sometimes the best scenes were on a different route than the one I chose. But overall, I'm really enjoying the game.

    As of v0.6
    Definitely one among top ten games in my list . Renders are great and girls look awesome . Female characters are well written and each have a personality of their own . And a main character who genuinely cares for all the girls which is rare to see these days . H scenes are well done . Music is nice added touch . Only drawback is the updates take too much time but it's okay as long as quality of content remains the same . Definite 5 stars for me . Highly recommended if you love a good wholesome romance story .

    This game is so boring, like you wouldn't believe. The pacing is so damn slow and the characters, they look like adults but they act like legit toddlers.
    The game tells you you're just some 28 year old dude. Well that might be true. But apparently the game forgets about telling you about your real profession.
    You play a fucking Kindergarten Care-Taker for heavily autistic women.
    While taking advantage of them. Like the amount of sudden emotional outbreaks and then you HAVE to hug them and that one bitch being "the precious little wallflower" that you have to slooooooooooowly ease into and I mean, SHEESH you need to be slow my friend.
    The amount of pouting and emotional moments out of the fucking blue.
    Its like the whole game is just you trying to get your dick wet and all you get is "erm... I dunno teehee I'm shy, teehee I'm not sure I trust you enough yet, teehee."
    This is basically the whole game, its like the dev sat down one evening and thought to himself: "How do I make the female characters in my game as annoying as possible, as asexual as possible and give them a completely inadequate mindset for their age?"
    These girls act to regular male behavior like 12 year old girls that just got into puberty and they constantly have their period.
    Who enjoys reading that?! Can't be a man for sure.
