Unreal Engine - Personal Study [v0.09 hotfix] [ArcaneSpoon77]

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.

Reviewed 0.07.5

tl;dr = Graphics and the animations are good, but I rate a game, based on its gameplay, UI, and sense of direction, and they are terrible.

1. It is so hard to figure out some of these puzzles. They are supposed to be super simple, but as objects don't get highlighted and interaction is a bit difficult, you can pass by a critical object numerous times without realizing it. Sure, once you find the objects, it is simple, but its like finding Waldo, in a sea of red shirts at a star trek convention.

2. It is super unclear of what the game wants you to do when entering a section. When I had assembled the portal, it wasn't clear that I had to rotate a piece. I had assumed that I was missing a piece, so I hunted for 10 minutes before inspecting the portal. Then when I bypassed the stone door, it wasn't clear that I was hunting for a book. There are no hints, no quest objectives, no quest indicators, and no way to get any of this while playing, so I wandered blindly for 10 minutes, going back to the main area, until I found the book.

3. I ragequitted after the 1st stone. According to the guide provided here, I was supposed to find an elevator of some sort. Well, I hunted all over the main area and the portal area, and couldn't find it after 15 minutes, so I gave up there.

4. The UI is way too minimalistic. Again, having some sense of direction or objectives displayed would go a long way to making it better.

5. You cannot sprint, jump, crouch, or slide. Just this slow ponderous jog, or if you hold shift, you walk. You also cannot float/hover/fly, or teleport/blink (except for specific spots). These would make transversing the fairly large environments a lot smoother.

6. There is no ingame controls.

7. Game defaults to Unlimited framerate and didn't realize this immediately, and so was pushing 90 FPS, when my monitors can only do 75, so had to lock it down to avoid melting my graphics card for no good reason.

8. There is no character customization; I'm not usually fond of short-haired, white-haired, micro-tit, or innie girls. Otherwise, the character is aesthetically pleasing.

9. There are outfits, but you have to find them, and they are as hard to find as most quest objects.

10. You can only carry one object at a time, but aren't limited to the size of an object to use telekinesis on.

11. The game does however, have a gallery, which is a welcome addition, as then you can at least enjoy the sex scenes, if you get hopelessly stuck, like I did.

12. Graphically it is an impressive title and runs fairly smoothly. Environments are nice to look at but have very little interactivity. For a library full of interesting books, I sure can't read any of them.

13. Has a well done dialogue and interesting characters.

=====

If some of this gets fixed, I'll update the review, but until then, its a hard pass for me.

Really good and clean animations and straight forward gameplay, game runs perfectly and the puzzles are actually fun. Already excited for upcoming content! One of the best games I have played in a looong time.
