Wolf RPG - Completed - Noroware Island: If You're Bitten, It's All Over [v1.06] [Hige to deko]

If you're a fan of hypnosis or corruption, this is solid.

I really don't understand some of the other reviews. Combat can be turned up or down and there is dodging involved not just walking into enemies. I found it charming in its simplicity and it works.

The game has a bit of an overarching plot; the real meat of the game is in the separate story threads scattered throughout the game. There's no main branching path, it mainly explores scenarios. Some of them are "game over" scenarios with no exit, so save to new slots often. Each scenario is separate so they can be pretty tightly written. They're a lot of fun and can get pretty comprehensive.

Some scenarios will lead into others, so it's worth talking to everyone in town to check every now and again. Losing to bosses or choosing the "wrong" option at the boss often has a "game end" scenario, so make sure to save before then. Other "game end" scenarios typically have a dialogue choice to confirm.

Alternatively, the gallery contains a decent amount of context if you get the general gist of the game, and can be unlocked from the start. I wouldn't play it like this but, far be it from me to police your wanks.

combat is real ass, played on normal difficulty and got one tapped by some enemies, and little annoying dumb things like ranged enemies shoot fireballs that almost impossible to avoid or to find a window to kill them without taking damage, bombs that explode when i get in 3x3 range, if it just exploded on touch would be more reasonable. no option to just skip event or dialogie during mission, have to hold ctrl and watch everything over again.
eroge part is mostly mind control, hypnosis and all that stuff
i like the art style, looking good

Has the annoying lose go to menu shit. Story was too plain and sexual content almost "inexistence" in this game. And ya get easilly lost or lose track of clues and ya waste time roaming and talking to everybody until ya trigger a event so story can progress.

I find this game average. The H scene is decent and thats about it.

Gameplay consists of walking up to enemies and making contact.
Story is nothing spectacular, although there is a fair bit of content.
Gfx is actually bad (excluding the H scenes)

This game feels more like a VN and you go about exploring branches of the story with each character you speak with.

This game is above average and although it has its flaws overall I enjoyed it quite a bit and if you like the kink of hypnotism, corruption and the like you will like this game.

Pros:

• Good story
• Hot H events (With emphasis on corruption)
• Optional Corruption Paths / Side Adventures (For other characters and the protagonist)
• Pretty good and immersive Bad Ending scenarios
• Relatively interesting characters

Cons:

• I didn't like the combat
• No combat loss (dying sends you straight to the main menu)
• The secondary corruption routes don't have interconnected character status (In one route you can have reached the end and be a whore but start another route and go back to being a shy virgin)
• The bad ending scenarios are interesting, no doubt, but even though the game warns you to save (most of the time) you can't tell while playing if a certain scenario is a bad ending or just a corruption scenario that will allow you to continue the game at the end of the scenario.
• Animations are often repeated and shared between characters, e.g. finguerpussy animations are quite common (of course the text changes according to the scene).

In essence an enjoyable game and I recommend it if you have this kind of interest.

I love hige to deko games and its a shame more of them arent translated. The dude has imo amazing art and the atmosphere of his games is absolutely stellar. It has this heavy, eerie feeling, like the heroine is out of her depth. The world is twisted behind every corner.

His games are very focused on hypno, so this one is too. Though a lot of it is more about normality alteration, rather than direct orders. Its of course completely normal to rub my breasts while talking to you. Stuff like that. Usually all forms of indoctrination, be it through substances, some more regular hypnotism, magic, machines and even trauma. It makes it a bit more interesting and not dull. I usually really dislike hypnotism, but here it works very well.

Game has a lot of smaller branches that result in "bad ends". It isnt just a small scene, usually you will have a whole small (sometimes actually pretty large) gameplay area to experience the story branch. The game warns you to save before.

If you like the art and like strong women get bent by hypnosis/made submissive by other means, I think you will enjoy it. Also game feels PACKED with content, so that is a big plus too.

Actually really good - esp for hypno & aphrodisiac corruption fans. ZERO flashing/cum-flashing which is rare for an H-RPG. 8.5/10

Gameplay: 8/10

Simply put, the gameplay loop is fight demons, talk to people multiple times for scenes. The battle mechanics are oddly fun. it's simple, you run into enemies to do damage (Front = low damage, side = more damage, back = backstab) and you have a choice of different weapons with their own strengths and weaknesses.

No bullshit, just simple battle mechanics that feel fun. Chest items are pretty lame though.

No interaction indicators or ways to use baths/wardrobes etc outside scenes. Talking to NPCs triggers events.

H-scenes: 9/10 (Censored)

Scenes are hot. Progress builds up nicely then ramps up steadily. Art is good too. There are no voice/moan sounds and the only actual issue is the censorship. Censorship is aggressive and unfortunately can't be helped when Japan still has outdated asinine laws on dicks and pussies. Otherwise, it's pretty good. Tons of scenes.

H-Stats are untranslated and limited, and only tied to the main MC (there are multiple side characters that don't have H-stats which is a bummer)
MC's standing portrait gets more lewd as she gets more corrupted. Lots of scene specific outfits too. Lots of content.

Story: 6/10

Stranded on an cultist island trope. It's not bad, the story and plot isn't anything special though. Not completely unbearable but still decent dialogue.

Some word vomit H-scenes but overall decent. Characters tend to be pedantic but it doesn't get too irritating - becomes quite fun once the scenes start rolling.

Engine: 7/10

Nothing special, just average. Can handle basic 1080p. UX/UI is limited. Can save anywhere. No touch UI. A tad laggy at times. Overall totally adequate.

An excellent game, beatiful renders, hot scenes, good plot.

Unexpected find, there seem to be a lot of scenes and gradual corruption.

If to talk about negatives, some parts of menu/sexual experience tab is not translated.
NPCs dont really show or have any marker if they are going to give a scene or an important dialogue. So, you just have to speak with everyone.

P.s. There are branching points in the game, but the game warns you in proper time to make save and when you finish the game and get into recollection you can unlock all scenes by talking with baldie. It is well made product.
