    I like it the game. Very dark and strange, not much porn/sex (and the sex content is mostly not my thing, in particular

    ), but interesting art and a great atmosphere. The story is also interesting; but some of the premises do not seem convincing to me in the end

    , and overall the worldbuilding seems too ambitious; several promising cans of worms are opened but I think it would take 100x as much content to bring them all to satisfying conclusions. It would be a shame if this great game ended up abandoned because of this. Oh, by the way, the English is bad in a few places (I am no native speaker myself, but even I noticed) but, to me, in a somewhat charming way, as if you try to translate a poem and fail a little bit at it...

    This game alone lit the fire of hentai games for me. it was the beginning of my now habit of playing hentai games as a hobby, downtime, and I've learned a ton of tricks over the years and man I don't regret a moment. OK, maybe a couple but it's def worth a try. I had fun and started a fun hobby too and who knows, you might too. Give it a try, there is a 95% chance you won't regret it.

    An interesting VN that features adult content and romance if the player chooses to but mostly revolves around a moderately dark fantasy story.

    The story focuses on three characters, mainly the MC, his friend who got turned into a woman by the third character, a goth looking witch that hides much more than initially is shown and told by her. The visuals are nicely drawn and while there is a substantial amount of text and dialogue in the game it is well written and interesting to read as well as features choices on how to proceed with the story and character relationships.

    Overall a good story-focused VN but the game is incomplete, and I personally suggest waiting to its completion since while it is playable in its current state half of it is in raw shape and missing end game parts.

    Finding this one an odd one. Loving the art and most of the story, sad the witch content was still incomplete.

    But the main thing for me: Never have i bounced so hard off a character in recent memory... I absolutely HATE the MC's friend with all of my being. Complete asshole all the way through in my opinion.

    I got the impression i was supposed to feel sympathy then eventually seduce the guy. Feck that, screw that guy!

    que juego mas bueno, lo baje con dudas y por el morbo del sexo pero la historia me engancho un monton, cuando lo estaba leyendo ya me iba a dormir pero queria que amaneciera rapido para seguir leyendo
    al inicio me intrigo un monton lo que le pasa al compañero, queriendo conocer a la chica y sus secretos,es brutal
    lo unico "malo" que senti fue un bajon de calidad de dibujado de Neus en el inicio de la tercera cita pero aparte de eso 10/10
    no quisiera que acabara aun pero creo que ya pronto saldra el final, lastima que no es mas largo aun pero bueno, lo bueno siempre tiene un final
    /
    What a good game, I downloaded it with doubts and for the morbid sex but the story hooked me a lot, when I was reading it I was going to sleep but I wanted it to dawn quickly to continue readingat the beginning I am intrigued a lot what happens to the partner, wanting to know the girl and her secrets, it is brutal

    the only "bad" thing I felt was a drop in drawing quality from Neus at the start of the third date but apart from that 10/10

    I do not want it to end yet but I think the end will come soon, too bad it is not longer yet but well, the good always has an end

    I think the warning at the beginning makes it pretty clear.

    This is not a porn game.
    This is a moderately disturbing story with porn sprinkled on top.

    If you're here to take a quick wank at a shy Goth girl, or maybe a muscular tomboy. I'm afraid this game might not be for you, there's text, lots of it.
    Not as in walls of text, but remember the warning.

    As you go through the story your decisions will affect on how you will help your childhood friend on his... predicament, and during the 5 days of this story you will get to know that shy Goth girl that's hiding a lot more than a crush on you.

    Damn. This had me hooked the whole time I was playing. Wery well done.
    It did kind of lag on my phone. But, other than that... It's captivating. The art style is nice. And the plot had me by surprise, at least a few times.
    Can guarantee this won't get an uninstall. Keep up the good work.

    So far, is one of the best histories that I have seen, excellent animations and art style, I do not like muscular female characters at all, but, the minigame for sex is a good catch.
    Looking foward for the completion of this opus.

    Hey, nothing is perfect in this life, except for this visual novel, ok, maybe not but the story really catch me, is sufficient deep to get me and the illustration have that kind of look that I love and when I replayed other routes found interesting things.

    A legitimately good VN game, although mostly linear it also tells you what is good and bad when you make the choices (I love when VN's give you visual statistics), not blindly guessing whether the other character liked or disliked your response, without the need of a walkthrough.

    The first thing we encounter in Pact With a Witch is a soundtrack that from the first moment immerses us in an ideal atmosphere for what we are going to bring.
    At the beginning of the game we see that it has no hairs on the tongue and shows us the potential of this novel and what we can find, according to our decisions and intentions.
    The graphic section is wonderful, and the animations are not far behind, we also have at our disposal (at the moment) XXX scenes with a very cute little witch, and with a nymphomaniac athlete. I do not want to do spoilers, therefore I will just say that you do not take this novel as a simple hentai game, but take it as an experience.
    10/10

    Amazing artwork so far, story is engaging and involves you emotionally. Dude, I fell in love with the characters and I would actually feel bad to wrong some of them (especially Neus). I spent two days playing until 6 or 7 am just because I was so curious what will happen. Sex scenes are good, but made especially good because you connect with the characters with that complex story I mentioned above. Music is just right, it kicks in exactly when it needs to, to accentuate the story plot.
    Not gonna lie dudes, came to bust a nut, but stayed for the story and artwork. 10/10 so far, I have high hopes for the finished product.

    To review this game, I will first put out there that I had been asked to do so. Not saying I was forced, just asked if it was possible. So here's my review!

    The game's story is different for an erotica. In my perspective, its main theme isn't trying to be just pornographic, but psychologically horrific. The main character's childhood buddy and roommate is not just caught, but invited to participate in a rape. After playing the game and taking notice of a few clues, I found out that friend, Didac, was bewitched. That would mean the main character was baited and then coerced into going along indulging in this witch's game just to save his friend. Also, the way that Didac behaves, it is like an addict searching for the taste of a sweet ambrosia they only ever dreamed about. Can you imagine being told to manipulate your friend to save their life, watching them endure a transformation that had completely fuck with not just their body and head, but even their sexual identity, and now you have to listen and follow this witch's demands who could possibly do much worse to you?

    As I initially said, this is different. I can't dive too deeply into how original this game is when I know where the inspiration came from. So I'm gonna leave that one be.

    The artwork is pretty cool. I know it is still a WIP, but what has been done is awesome.

    Just to note, I wanna rant on something. I've seen plenty of hate go towards Didac's design, but I like it. What I hate is when there is expectation for hard bodied guys to get transformed into soft skinned little sissies. I mean, really? This guy was a totally ripped body builder and the transformation went into a realistic design. I am completely thankful that this didn't go with the sex-crazed cliche of those bubbly dumb blondes with basketball tits.

    Setting that aside, I am glad that the backgrounds are based on real environments. Even though I've never been there, this brings in a character of where this all takes place. Not to mention the history of some locales and their landmarks. Pretty cool stuff... I could do with less of the art lessons, though. I will never forget that lightheaded migraine.

    From me, not much can be said about the sound. I play the game on mute... Sorry.

    The game does have replayability, but I only have done so to be a completionist. I am aware of four endings and two of them are not so easy to get without trying and trying again for the correct points with the right woman. Plus, I sometimes wanted to see the alternative dialogue. The second date with Neus has several interesting points in their dinner discussions.

    The performance has been improved upon how it used to play. If you had fast forward or skipped scenes, sometimes the faces couldn't keep up with the body. As far as I am aware, that had been fixed, and I believe it because I've yet to have that scenario repeat itself. There are still some occurrence errors, but those are being weeded out too, so I'm cool with it.

    Grammar is still being polished, but it is so far great. English is a second language for this game, Spanish being first, so I completely understand the difficulty. In my opinion, if I can comprehend what is being said or going on, I got the picture and am fine with it.

    There is still more content being added and I am hoping to be still around whenever this game finishes the first storyline. I'd like it a lot if our suggestion for having not Didac but the main protagonist being the one cursed to be picked up afterwards. We are offered that fork in the road within the rape scene (do you join in?) But what is here is neat. I'd suggest some more work on the story and art, less on the mini-games. Those can be distracting by trying to learn them and disrupt the immersion we had from reading into the story.

    This is a game I would recommend playing for the story.

    This game is amazing! The story is superb, the characters are super interesting and they make you constantly wonder what is really going on. Couple that with lots of replayability, and lots of possibility for the development, and it's an amazing renpy game.

    The game is innovative, really fun, the interactive mini game is good and have played it some times. the story is great for the intended audience and the staff is very responsive. I highly recommend you check the game out, but not for all audiences/ages

    3.5+ I never though I'd be washing my male roommate in a shower, but there I was...

    Cool artstyle, decent plot with pacing, decent UI, music and sounds actually pretty good for what they are.

    Characters lack depth, specially MC, he's just there, no backstory, no moods, he simply exists.

    However, game is incomplete, some images are not colored, day 5 has text but no images at all, it needs work.

    Bonus: Game features one of the best BJ scenes ever.

    This is one of the few adult games that ever made me interested or engaged in the story. This was clearly designed by someone who actually cares.

    This is a review as of [v0.9.04], and there will be spoilers.


    At this point I'm not sure what to expect, and that's good. This is not a cliché story written by an illiterate ape.
    The game has an awesome grasp on things like art, history, folklore, religion, etc. There's some long monologues about some interesting stuff that I loved reading (although the author thought people would find it boring :p).

    It's still a work in progress and I personally don't mind the "lack of content", as I'm pretty happy with all the interesting stuff that I read. I don't think this should be a valid criticism.

    There's just one little problem. The protagonist is kinda slow. On one day the blonde chick tells you of succubi with glowing eyes that change color and long tongues. On the same day a girl gives you a blowjob with a gigantic tongue while her eyes glow in the dark and you see dark figures in the back while listening to some weird enchantment in Latin, right before you lose your strength, almost fainting with a pain in your back. After all that, the protagonist simply brushes it off and thinks that it was "his imagination". You can argue that he was perhaps under some kind of spell, but why doesn't he come to senses when he arrives at home? This is simply unrealistic no matter how you look at it.

    I also really don't like the vibe I'm getting from the way the story is progressing. It seems to me the protagonist will eventually ignore the fact that Neus is a succubus and will "love her for who she is". I'm sorry, but not being a virgin is one thing, having sucked the dick of thousands of other men is another. We're human and we're judgmental by nature. We can endure some things but that doesn't mean it will be the same. Anyone who ever had a girlfriend or wife with a dark past knows what I'm talking about. It's good to feel special for having someone that very few people in the world had the pleasure to meet. It's not simply a sense of pride, it gives you the desire to cherish and preserve the person you love. You don't need to preserve someone that already has seen everything. Nothing scares her anymore, so why bother? This comes not only from men but from women too.
    Maybe I'm being a fucking pussy, but I honestly don't believe love can flourish to its full extent in such extreme circumstances. That's simply how humans work.

    However, this is just a quick rant on something that caught my attention. I deducted one star because of the MC being so dense but I'm not going to deduct another star because of something that I THINK will happen. For me, this story deserves a bitter and tragic end. A happy ending with a happy succubus and a happy MC would be too much.

    I'm counting on you, writer.

    Game has potential to be very good. Great art.

    The sex mini game is too confusing. I suggest a tutorial DURING the mini game that tells you what to do. I ended up just canceling the sex scene.

    A detailed walk through would be nice or a quest log journal in the game that helps guide you on what to do.

    Answering all of the blondes trivia questions at the museum was annoying.

    Great game with great atmosphere and amazing potential, ruined by retarded decisions and inexplicably terrible artstyle shift.
    When I first played it, about a year ago, there were 2 ingame days of plot, several encounters, two dates (three if you count going with Didac to the mall), lot of funny dialogue, several sexy scenes, lot of mistery and an amazing artstyle.

    What changed? Back then 2nd day ended with a date with Neus. After the date (SPOILER!) you got a blowjob from her (/SPOILER OVER!) and thats when it ended. On the blowjob part.
    Fast foward a year. Blowjob is finished. Character goes home. Fucks Didac. Goes to sleep. Wakes up. The end.
    That's it. You done fcked it up.
    Oh, and developer remade all the characters into hulk-like abominations. Everything is so freaking ugly its unbearable.
