Unreal Engine - Personal Study [v0.09.2 Hotfix] [ArcaneSpoon77]

To me, this game is an enigma... (v0.09)
There is an incredible amount of effort and detail in the arcane archives, the magic devices, even the lighting. It really seems to be a labor of love. Really interesting puzzles, great visual effects, great story.
Unfortunately, the sex scenes are really simplistic and repetitive. They feel like a placeholder for something much more. The scene is set for something special: dark magic, demonic mind control, tentacles, bondage, pursuit and capture... I really hope that the H-scenes get more work. Certainly something to keep an eye on.

if you are looking for a Quick Fap then search other places !
But if you like to use your Brain and allso like lewd scenes then you are absolutly in for a Treat with this one. The Grafic is realy good and so far i didnt had any Bugs at all . The Riddles are Top Notch and the Lewd Animations are Pretty good to . Characterdesignes are allso really Great and Unique from what i can tell . The Spoken Cutscenes are well Made and even the Reading Parts are nicely Written .
I recomment this Game to Everyone who like a Good challange!

Good game with nice graphics. Interesting type of gameplay, like H-Myst : )
Relatively light from hw resources. Not much content for 3 years, but suppose team is small one. No bugs and just few crashes.

Recommended.

PS Please allow more mimic content : )
And Imp as well. Evy used his cooperation but no reward at all. He deserves some fun as well : )

I bought the game on Steam and I have to say that I loved so far. The story is rich and interesting, the puzzles are hard but very clever in execution. The only thing that i personally would love is that the demon form that you acquire in the latest update would also be non futa. But the game deserves every credit and I can't wait to see what it's future holds!

An excellent game with nice puzzles and graphics. I was able to run it an an acceptable fps on my potato laptop. I can't wait for more content to be released; the lack of content is the main downside of this game as I was able to complete it in less than 3 hours. Overall its a great game

Polished to near mirror finish.

The environments and decor are gorgeous, and glitch-less. I would appreciate them a bit more if they were less dark, nevertheless the visual appeal is a 5/5.

The puzzles are a bit tricky to find, and I would welcome a hint mechanism a bit more developed. However if you do like puzzles the gameplay is engaging, varied and creative. It takes full advantage of the setting and aesthetic, and make full use of the engine's physics as well. No weird glitches, things that should clang do clang and things that should fit do fit.

The porn is gorgeous, with smooth and beautiful animations and lovely, vibrant character designs. This being a porn site, for porn games, however, I have to take away one star just due to the very small number of scenes (I counted 7, and while they are lovely this is a pretty small number for a game this size).

love almost everything about this game including the character design and overall style

i also love the puzzles but the can get pretty obscure without some kind of hint

theres a small but nice variety of partners and positions for our hero to play with and i look forward to more

Ok, so I do not typically play female protagonist games.
This was different. This one was fun, although a bit too little sex and a bit too much puzzle-solving.
We got many sex positions with summoning but it would have been nice to see more sex scenes with story characters. Especially imp and prestess (really would like to see that - please do not miss the anal scene with her).
Also, the mimic scene would have benefited greatly from anal.
Thank you dev for the amazing game.
Gameplay: A+
Graphics: A+
Story: A+
Scenes: A+

This is a proper game and the puzzles really immerse you into the world! The sex scenes are like caveats that you have to work for...by playing the game! Yay! At last you have to work for your rewards. I like that...the world and the storyline are detailed and immersive without the 'adult' content.
The character you play, however, could be more customizable. A character creator at the start of the game, would be a significant improvement.
The game is visually beautiful, without the need for an RTX card to ray trace everything. It absorbs you into it's detailed world and you lose time exploring and puzzle-solving.
More character customization and adult content is important for the developer to realize at this point. Otherwise, this is impressive.

Good animations and graphics. The controls feel a bit off, especially the camera, but overall the experience is solid. Some puzzles and some lewd scenes. For an unreal demo, it'd definitely one of the best, and I hope to see more.

The quality and polish of this game completely surprised me - the animation work and design of the levels and puzzles really blew me away. A fun little game in its own right with gorgeous protag and animations to boot. The controls feel very fluid and all the mechanics in the game work very well - I have absolutely no complaints.

10/10 and I immediately went and bought the game on steam to support the gem of a dev that made this.

This review is directed towards [v0.08] which is the last version posted on the site.

What can I say about this game... it is honestly amazing, in every aspect.

Starting from the story, we currently don't really have too much of it besides the introduction but the little bits that we have are simply incredible. Very well written, down to the earth, doesn't overstay it's welcome. It goes straight to the point with a girl who is interested in certain topics that aren't exactly thought in it's school anymore and records of it have "seemingly" banished.. except for one little book which gave hints about a possible bigger picture.

Why did this project get cancelled? We don't really know yet, but there's a lot more than meets the eye to this university.

Sound effects were also pretty good, nothing really exaggerated.. down to the grown sound effects for the sexual scenes too, sometimes the ambience event felt creepy.. like you expect something to jump at you from nowhere

Speaking of sexual scenes, I loved them. So far, very unique characters, even if we only have four of them counting the protagonist.. each of them pretty different

Sebastian (he and the main character need to make up!) which is our resident Imp whom you find as soon as you get to the place where they were experimenting with Infernal Essence.. he helps you out gather information about the place, translating books and different things that are in a dialect that the character doesn't understand.

Orthos, which is one of the summonings you can make.. if I got them all, he should have four sex scenes.. each of them different than the other, and all of them are amazing. Very nice phyiscs, very good genitals as well.. the possibility to move the camera around during a scene or even put it in the view of the summon, for some unique angles.

The second summoning, which I honestly didn't pay attention to her name, but also super well done (two scenes thus far if I didn't miss any). Again, very attractive design with very smooth scenes. Copious amounts of ejaculation as well, which I always love when it's featured.

Gameplay is perfect as well, an interesting selection of different and enjoyable puzzles as you try to get through and discover what you're looking for, with some easter eggs here and there.. such as the different outfits that you can find throughout the game (the second one is my favorite, so good)

I have a rather old computer by today's standards, and the game ran as smooth as butter, it's very well optimized.

There's absolutely nothing that I could see where this game can improve, it's honestly perfect.

Thank you very much to the developer for putting all the effort into making such a beautiful and enjoyable game. It goes to my favorites, and I look forward to the future updates.

Don't waste your time - This is neither a nsfw game or sfw game

Description of the gameplay: Walk arround, try to find what to do, walk arround, do a puzzle, walk arround, try to find what to do, get your first H-scene (5seconds), do more puzzle, walk arround, do more puzzle, try to find what to do....

Biggest waste of visuals i have ever seen....

Super quality, scenes are well done. Puzzle aspects can be a bit frustrating to find, bit like finding a needle in a haystack. Would help if there was a subtle visual indicator that something is interact-able, a slight glow or more striking colors to make it stand out amidst the environment.

It's early in development (0.07.7) but what's here is surprisingly polished for an 0.0x release. The environments and models are well done, and there's a nice variety of satisfying puzzles. If you're looking for a quick fap, this isn't it, but if you want to explore an interesting place and solve some puzzles with a side of sexytimes, you could certainly do worse than this. You could easily spend a couple of hours here.

Dev seems active in both releases and in the thread, so I expect development will continue for a while. It's hard to know whether Personal Study refers only to the MC's activity or to the dev's work on the game itself, but either way I hope dev sticks with it, I'm curious to see where it goes.

Some of the puzzles just aren't signposted at all. Looking for the one interactable thing in a huge room where most of the objects have the exact same palette is not a good puzzle. A good puzzle teaches the player a simple mechanic then allows them to apply that knowledge to new situations. There's also a huge reason basically every triple-A game with puzzles has a "senses" mode to find interactable objects (For example, Witcher 3, Hitman, Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk... etc)

The visuals are really good, so that earns a point. However, it's hard to ignore a developer that says he "hates players" and is trying to collect bad game mechanics for his game.

Very cool game.
MC is hot, all animations look very good. Game lacks hints to give you directions sometimes, but it's not a big problem and puzzles aren't too hard or too easy, feels like a good balance.
Unfortunately there isn't a lot of content at v0.07.7, only for about 3 hours or so.

I feel conflicted about this game.

On one hand, the artwork and style are quite good. The concept is very interesting, and the storyline/writing seem decent so far. Gameplay is still pretty early in development, but I see no major red flags so far.

On the OTHER hand, the voice acting for the female protagonist during sex scenes.... Her voice is sooo unenthusiastic and sounds so *bored* that it ruins my ability to enjoy this. For myself, sex voice acting is one of the most important components of a sex game, so this is a MAJOR disappointment.

This seems early enough in development (v0.07.6) that it might still be improved. I hope so.

Also, this would benefit from a tutorial and maybe some refinements to the camera (i.e., hotkeys to snap the camera to specific views).

I really miss having a quest journal; I skipped the dialogue, and now I'm wondering, 'What's next?' Not having a save option in the game is also disappointing, but the visuals and optimization are great.
I'm not a puzzle fan; I basically
I pass intuitively, like in Tomb Raider. Overall, the game is not bad.

Love the ambiance, love the level design, the character design and the animations.
The sex animations feel a little impersonal and I think could be made "hotter" but it's still a WIP and the rest is so good I can't remove a star.
