RPGM - Completed - Parallel Relief [v1.7] [udoukoubou]

Tedious gameplay loop, the "tutorial" takes forever as well. elaborating on the tedious gameplay loop, it's oh hey go back to your world and get this thing and toss it in, but the time spent traveling back and forth is just too much. There's literally no point, they could've cut it out entirely, if not for the NTR guy in your world but that could literally just be a cut scene

Stay away from this game, don't read further, just leave and never look back.

Still reading? Dang. Now listen, this game has great art and a lot of effort was put into it, but it won't make you happy in any sense or form.

This game acts like it's a cheating game, where the main character gets cheated on by the girls, but that's not how the game works/it is told. If you try to go for the netorare route ... it's game over, not even a decent reward image for the game over screen. But neither is it a dating game, where you conquer the girls away from other guys. The more effort you put in, the more they'll be take away from you.

And this bring me to the next problem: The game does not respect your time. There is the idea of two worlds (and two chads) and you have to go back and forth between them for the story. This take forever, and often, when you think you'll do something in a certain way to get certain scene, the game will just say "oops, the scene will not trigger, I wonder why *wink*", and you'll have no idea why and no way to know until you poured 5 hours into this. And not just that running around, but also the combat is a terrible slog. Every character is weak except one, who's mostly overpowers ... until he isn't and you're locked from progressing because you can't kill the orks you're supposed to kill.

The bad dating/netorare and the time wasting alone could be handled, but both together, all the while dangling those potentially well drawn images in front of you like a carrot, makes this game feel like a terrible drug. Edging you for hours, but moments before you think you'll get a decent climax you get locked and need to restart, playing another 5 hours.

I put 10 hours into this game and I unlocked like 3 of the 100 scenes, and those weren't even good.

Just download some other porn. Anything else but this game is time better spend. Save yourself.

I really... and I mean REALLY tried to like this game...
I kid you not, I've been at the game for OVER AN HOUR, and the only CGs I've seen at two CGs where I peek through the peephole at the two girls on two CGs where they are stuck and I must rescue them to raise their affection.

For over an hour, I had to do the same thing over and over again because the dev decided to Ctrl C + Ctrl V the first week of "missions", AKA the slime training that takes place for a in-game week-time. It's the same thing over and over, and not once do I get the girls to do anything lewd.

1) Do a quest in this world. 2) Go back to the modern world and bring something back. 3) REPEAT.

At this point, I don't think I'm pass the fucking tutorial. And I'm saying this AFTER AN HOUR.

The art LOOKED SO GOOD, but I feel like fucking Sisyphus times 100.

Graphics, Animation & Sound
The easiest part to defend, so I’ll start here.
The graphics, including animations, are (for my taste) really nice. Especially the avatars for the two heroines
In terms of sound, the game holds up solidly too, though you can clearly notice the same moaning sounds being reused across different sex scenes. Luckily, they’re pleasant enough to the ear that it doesn’t really bother you.


Story
It’s nothing particularly new, though the small twists and variations do freshen up the usual template quite nicely.
So the Demon Lord basically said, “Forget swords and spells, I just downloaded Wikipedia and a Costco membership — good luck, heroes.”
I really like that comment
The character progression also feels believable, at least by the standards of a game like this.
There’s also the NTR element that a lot of people mention. I honestly have no idea how that’s supposed to work. I really don’t get how that’s enjoyable. Maybe it’s a plus for some, a minus for others. For me, it was just there. It didn’t bother me.


Battles
Eeeeh… this is where I have the biggest complaints.
It’s your standard RPG Maker battle system.
On the plus side, they came up with some interesting skills.
You can really feel that each character is unique and serves a different purpose.
Now for the negatives :|
The display for debuffs and buffs is awful. There’s just one slot, and it keeps switching between effects.
I’m not sure if I completely ignored character equipment or if the game’s balance is just terrible, but somewhere around the mid-to-late story I was forced to use only AoE skills. Because they were the only ones doing any damage. Everything else was hitting for 0.


Why 5/5 and not 4/5
Despite its flaws, I had a great time playing it, and the sexual content is genuinely well done, both in quality and quantity. There’s a good amount of it, but it’s not overdone or constant.
The game definitely has its issues, but honestly, every game does. There’s probably no “perfect” game that has zero downsides and pleases everyone. And if such a holy grail of a game ever exists, it deserves a 6/5 to put it on a pedestal


Oh, and pregnancy…
At first, I was disappointed, but later I accepted that it’s not a complex mechanic, just a game over condition. And honestly, that’s fine. It fits the game naturally instead of feeling forced.

Oh man, were to begin...

The ass prologue, tedious gameplay loop, cryptic event unlock mechanisms, goofy ahh music, boring story, walls of texts, stupidly long h scenes, poorly executed NTR, feminine twink looing dudes that are somehow supposed to cuck you, god awful combat system, unbalanced difficulty, giant maps full of useless facilities and NPCs...

I could keep going, but TL;DR it's everything you'd hate about generic RPGM slop all compiled into one miserable time wasting game.

The ONLY redeeming feature here is the art, and even that's put to waste by anticlimactic scenes that are not only a bitch to unlock, but overstay their welcome when they finally do hit.

Game doesn't even have battlefuck, it's one CG restraint that makes them orgasm.

Hate that I spent so long on this waiting for it to get good when it only got worse. Download a full save if you want to see more of the art, otherwise...

AVOID!!!

I don't mind NTR. I downloaded and played this game for pregnancy tag and internal view screenshots, with battle fuck. And all those elements suck.

Like I've finished game the first time without even knowing you could lose completely in combat. Like if youhave 2 brain cells you can win a combat. That at first was grindy, butruning few older dungeons for materials, upgrading shop and buying betterequipment (especially after protein shake to fight orks) everything goes down pretty easy.

I honestly didn't understand how you get the side jobs, as when you exit house at the evening, those places are either closed or cant do a shit. And when you get there with full party, they only talk abot "so busy so busy I wish i could've get some part timer" or stuff like that. It has pregnancy tag, but there is no belly, no birth and it goes only as bad ending when you get that. To prevent pregnancy you should create a vaginal cleaning item specific to the girl, but to create it you need a Shadow item that in description is like recording of H-event. Despite having 20 blanks in my inventory and watching H-events i never understood how to use them. SInce ther is an old pervert who will exchange those recording for money or stat boosts.

so the whole game is you take quest, you take girl with you to real world to buy item, you return, go home, you finish quest. You take new quest. Rinse and repeat at nauseum.

Not alot of variety on the scenes. It's very hot that you can peep into the rooms of the girls and see if they're getting fucked but the scenes are very repetitive. Hot, but repetitive.
The girl that loves you gets fingered one time, the secont time gets fucked (both times against her will) and by then she already loves the other dude's dick much better than yours. There's no real progression in the corruption, the girls suddenly become whores. The combat scenes are good, but again, there's only one per girl. It only changes when you face a new enemy.
I don't know. It had alot of potential imo. You can get a good fap or two, bit it's nothing amazing.

Short Review: Fun concept, but too long. Mechanics are too simple to stay interesting. Cool art, but it feels mixed with AI. The game quickly becomes repetitive.

Gameplay Loop

Every day follows the exact same routine:

• Wake up and talk to the two girls.
• Go fight mobs or talk to the doctor.
• Choose one girl to explore the overworld with (the other will stay with the “NTR” guy).
• Decide whether to explore with her or leave her with the random classmate/playboy.
• Search the city for an item and return.
• Talk to one girl to gain points with her, while the other automatically spends time with the Hero and gains points with him.
• Go to sleep and repeat…

I played for 2 hours and unlocked only 3 scenes out of about 80 available (40 for each girl, with many of them being copy-paste variations).


Mechanics

The NTR system is too simple. You understand it within two in-game days, and from then on it only becomes frustrating: progressing with one girl always means losing progress with the other.


Combat is not engaging either. Only the Hero deals meaningful damage, while you mainly watch. The only noteworthy mechanic is being able to help the girls when they’re attacked by mobs. Doing so earns affection points with them, which slightly balances out the NTR mechanic.


Story & Characters

The story is fine—not revolutionary, but exactly what you’d expect from a random erotic game. Unfortunately, the game design doesn’t allow the characters to develop in any real depth.


Art

The illustrations are nice at first glance, but they clearly feel like a mix of hand-drawn and AI. Some poses look stiff and awkward, while a few facial expressions end up being unintentionally funny.


Verdict

⭐ 2/5. Not terrible, but poorly executed and far too long. Spending in-game days repeating the same loop without meaningful rewards is not fun, and the mechanics don’t do enough to motivate the player.


I recommend playing for about 40 minutes to get the gist of the story, then just download a save file to explore the scenes directly.

When other players called it "Grindy" I presumed it was an RPG Level Up Grind. But that's not the case at all.

Wake up. Walk to Room 1. Walk to Room 2. Walk Outside. Get a basic task [Kill 7 Slimes]. Pick a lady to hang out with after so she can get hit on and you bluntly get a choice. DO YOU WANT TO BE NTR'D YES OR NO. Then walk back home and repeat.

None of the characters have any personality. Its not NTR because both girls are strangers. And the complete lack of user control makes it basically a glorified visual novel. Except, this was almost definitely written by AI. Some of the dialogue and phrasing is so bad its ridiculous.

"You fed a stick of gum to the slime monster so now it absorbed the properties of bubble gum. The power of SEX will make you stronger, and The Doctor will make a spell to counteract the gum slimes".

The developer either never wrote a story once in their life, or this is AI generated. Either way. I firmly give it 1-star. That is to say, do not waste a single moment of your life on this crap.

I don't like to hand out bad reviews, but I think this game needs a warning for being a time waster if you are mildly competent at these games. Worst case, as happened to me, you grind one and half hours until you get to see the first scene ... The Ideas in here have potential, but it's hampered by a design mindset grounded on MMO daily quests.

Also the art, at least the bodies not sure about the faces, seem to be AI.

1.5 hours wasted on a repetetive and grindy intro just to get cucked IRL with a "BSS END" and a single NTR scene. If you have an NTR tag in your game make sure for people to know that its just a slight touch for a bad outcome in the end. Never was it mentioned anywhere, not in the intro nor in dev notes, that game is not NTR-oriented despite having such tag.

finally a ntr game where you actually get H content for the MC...

usually ntr games become basically a regular game without any sex if you decide to protect the girls, in this one, you have a proper route for noth, or the throuple route... where you get at least 10 different scenes.

the gameplay is a bit tedious, and if you are on the NTR route you will be weak AF to actually complete the story. but itis still worth the playthrough.

quick tip: if in harem route, just spam threesome to upgrade the stats of both girls.

This one is a 4/5. its better than the average game and falls short of the best games. its a classic H-RPG. you fight some monster in the day and H scenes at night. the girls are cute and the peeking mechanics are a nice touch.

on the down side, the game can feel a bit grindy. some of the mechanics are not very well explained. so the game does feel awkward sometimes.

3 star game plus a bonus star for the game not outright withholding H-scenes for taking the time to keep your girls.

Gameplay: 2/5 + 1 star for neat ideas executed "meh"
fairly basic RPGM gameplay. Run around to the quest location fighting mobs on the way.

Aside from that, there's some decent, albeit somewhat grindy mechanics in the affection/lewd/NTR system. And mild to hardcore lewds are never that far from reach.
Battles: Every monster is horny and after your girls. If you save them before the fight ends, they get more lewd and like you more. If the fight ends before you save them your mentor adventurer saves them and they get a big boost in affection towards him. If you lose you pick the girl to save, other girl gets raped and saved by mentor guy.

Outside of battles you can let the girl work (one scene per job it seems, though), or if the party splits pick the girl you stay with/near and the other girl is paired with the mentor or if back on Earth gets targeted by the playboy priest guy. At night you choose who to spend the night with and mentor chats up the other girl. If you don't pay attention he'll start getting lewd with her. But the girl you spend the night with you can get lewd with and you can expand the options of available lewds by exploring things back on earth. (turn on hints in the options if you're not finding it)

The one glaring downside to all of this, as others have noted, is it just inevitably feels grindy. Despite it's efforts to always have something erotic close at hand that can happen, it's a lot kinda dull gameplay after a while.

Another annoyance is the splitting of all the different H-checking mechanics into 4 different items you activate from the key items section of the menu. It would be much less of a hassle to check them if they were just part of the menu pages/a separate call button in the menu.

Art: 4/5 --> 3/5 stars
pretty solid. though a bit stale by the time you've gotten through the whole game.

Story: 4/5
honestly, much better than expected. You can tell they put thought into the writing. The major gripe is all of it is pretty 1-dimensional/flat. The romance is just okay. The harem is just okay. The corruption if you don't protect them is just okay. And if NTR is your thing, it's basically just watch your girls get fucked and have a line or two from MC of "I can't believe this slut isn't just sleeping with me!"

I like that there's variety and thought put in. I like that no one's explicitly a prude. Everyone likes sex and everyone does the sex. But the game was a large enough endeavor that it seems they decided to stop at "just enough" rather than really flesh things out.

Overall, this game is a solid 3 star game with it's biggest problem being how long it can take. And it doesn't fall into a lot of the same pitfalls other NTR games make of "NTR is avoidable, but there's no reason to avoid it because this is a porn game and the only porn is NTR". Though that also seems to come at the cost of adding any sort of depth to any one part of the story and makes the whole game's novelty rapidly begin to feel flat. So, 3 stars overall + 1 star for the effort to make something better, even if it fell a bit short. A solid attempt and worth checking out. Just maybe not worth playing through to the end and just grabbing a save and checking the recollection.

Cute Girls, Decent Scenes, Shitty Game Play.

Basic Gameplay is pick which girl you going after (or both!) and defend them from 2 NTR routes. the affection loop is pretty self explanatory, the more time you spend with 1 girl the more the other will get seduced by the chad party member. once you lock in one (or both) as your lover then the Playboy will try to steal them.

the issue is that these routes are exclusive. so to get all the scenes you would have to play thru like 3 times. Thats a big ask for mind numbing standard RPGM combat (tho the girls do get costume damage and a molestation when hp drops to 0)

TLDR: Try it for like 20min then grab a full save and enjoy

edit: this should be a 2.5 for the shitty implementation of a pregnancy counter....

Beware, NTR-lovers, this game is not a cuckolding nonesence with the slow development of cuck's inner world.
It's just a dead simple isekai dating simulator + grindy battles, including combat rape.

The NTR catch is that one of your two competitors dates the other lady, while you're on a date.
The second competitor is just a plain boring selection of the two options: allow / disallow your (potential) girlfriend cheat on you.

The game also includes several cheating scenes outside of these two guys, but such scenes can be easily avoided, and depend on low/high lewd level.

You can also enter a Harem route where you have an intercourse with both chicks at the same time. The bad side is that you are technically on a date with one of the chicks, despite it's a threesome, so the main competitor still advances to the other chick.

Another weak point is that you are forced to skip time to get a certain ending.

But all in all, the game is great for the time spent, especially if you can modify affection or lewdness with a cheat menu for smoother gameplay.

Great plot and relationship system hampered by poor execution.
The game gets a lot of stuff right about an RPG with avoidable NTR, but also gets a lot wrong.
The artwork is nice and has a clean style, however it looks like AI was used at times. I don't think the art is fully AI, but it does have a generic style with solid anatomy and aesthetics you get when setting up lewd image generators well in the standing poses and certain other images. Some art, specifically the cut ins when a heroine talks to the Hero and gainst favorability has a completely different artstyle and looks like it was based on 3d models another studio that makes avoidable NTR games uses. There's also a decent variety in CG, every area has its own molestation animation if the heroines go down and the MC has a variety of positions to fuck each heroine in at night, including a harem option. When it comes to the NTR it's pretty straightforward as something you either actively choose to go for (for example the other world NTR is entirely up to the player), or have the option of avoiding by doing well in combat and managing favorability gain from splitting up.

On the flip side, the biggest issue is that everything takes a lot of time and feels pretty same-y in terms of gameplay loop. You have to grind dungeons by clearing enemies and exiting to recover, which is not immediately obvious and can feel tedious since every fight is identical within dungeons. Every ingame day starts and ends the exact same and once you get to questing it follows almost the exact same formula every time: Clear dungeon, pick up next quest, go to other world to fetch something, move to night time.
The harem route is kinda annoying to play also, since whichever heroine you don't talk to/fuck in the evening gains favorability with the hero, so if you want to keep that stat low on both you have to not talk to either of them, which means a lack of sex scenes. The ero stats/womb view is also a bit disappointing at parts that concern NTR, for example if you don't get to a heroine caught by bandits in time she gets raped, but it's only partially reflected and has no noticeable gameplay impact.

Overall, if you have some time to burn and like this sort of game I'd say give it a go. It tickles a very specific itch for me and I liked it, but only 4 stars due to the disappointing execution in parts.

One star is harsh for this game because it genuinely has interesting ideas and a plot that feels like it wasn't written by a teenager, as well as some nice art/sound animation.

That being said this game is a huge waste of time. I absolutely grinded through the story and shitty RPGMaker turn based combat, it was so bad I just edited the save file so I can get through the painful artificial speedbumps that the developer puts in your way to waste your time. I found myself asking more questions and getting frustrated playing through this game, and I'm not about to open a walkthrough for a damn RPGM game that I know shouldn't need it. I ended up finishing the game with an ending that didn't make sense (I DEFINETLY did not have her being pure) and only like 2 gallery scenes unlocked somehow, even with my efforts to make H scenes happens as often as I could.

There was a time when the RPGM tag didn't insinuate immediate slop, but nowadays I find it so hard to load up one of these games, they just end up wasting your time and this one was really a bad offender because it does get your hopes up while playing through it.
