VN - Unity - Completed - Natsuki's Life In Prison [Final] [Kanoe, BananaKing]

Relatively show VN in which you can just unlock gallery without playing and be done with it.
Art is great, Natsuki looks fire and scenes are ok. A lot of grinding if you want to "finish" the game and unlock everything normally. Not worth it, but you do you. 3 for art and QoL stuff, would be 2 otherwise.

Pretty good game that dives into the overall experience of a female having her life held hostage by lewd men , and slowly accepting prostitution as the only means of survival while trying to keep from losing her mind...and her internal morality.

Played on version Final (Really, this is all there is?)

Recommendation level: Barely qualified as a game

+ Good Artwork
+ Polished

--- Not in Prison
-- Lack of content
- Grindy

Comment: For such a highly anticipated game, this one sure had a quick and disappointing ending. I have to say that the little content that is in the game isn't bad at all however for such a long build up you would expect a bit more. I also have some problems with games that uses "aphrodisiac" as a plot device, not only does aphrodisiac realistically not exist, it is being overused quite a bit but I guess that's why it's not tagged with corruption.

Is this a nukige? There's a lot of scenes, but the game is mostly driven by the plot, but the plot is also paper thin.

Story 2/10

Natsuki is from the slums. Her parents die to an unnamed illness and your brother is suffering from the same fate.

Natsuki answers a job ad but the ad is for a prostitution ring which Natsuki is kidnapped into.

She takes and get addicted to some aphrodisiacal drug and works as a prostitute.

Natsuki is given the choice to purchase her freedom so she must save up money. Or try to expose the criminal enterprise from within.

This all being said, the execution is terrible. The miracle aphrodisiac completely transforms Natsuki's personality in a matter of days. She goes from unwilling to cumslut in like 1 day.

The characters are all one dimensional. The head prostitute is melancholic. The boss is intimidating. The thug is thuggy. There's no character development.

Gameplay 1/10

This is basically a hallway simulator. There's really only one way forward. There's a couple of game over scenarios, but they're not really paths since you just game over.

The choices you make are pretty pointless. Because there's one correct thing to do.

In the 2nd phase of the game you have more choices but they're just ways of progressing the story.

Surprisingly the game is grindy. You get drugged every day and it adds 2 to your drug addiction. If your drug addiction gets too high, then you game over. So every 2 days you have to spend the entire day masturbating because everybody knows that masturbating decreases your drug dependence. Then you have to grind each character by talking to them.

Endings 1/10

The game's pretty flat so there's not many endings. Generously there's like 8 ending scenarios, but 6 of them are just game over endings like drug addicted slut, or punched to death, etc.

One "real" ending is where you steal the aphrodisiac antidote and pay off your debt and you go free. But your brother's missing so, that sucks.

The "true" ending is where you record evidence of this prostitution ring and get the entire organization arrested and you're reunited with your brother.

But all in all, the execution is terrible. The dialogue is weak so there's no emotional investment.

Art 6/10

The art is quite well done. Natsuki is cute if one dimensional. Although it's implied there are other prostitutes in the game, Natsuki's the only one who gets any on-screen action.

Overall 2/10

The characters are bad, the story is bad, and the gameplay isn't fun.
