Unity - Pleasure Echo: Erase [v0.52] [EgoPlaga]

As of [v 0.56]

The good: there are attractive LIs (if you're okay with AI art) and decent spicy scenes. Also the story is kinda interesting, involving some kind of psychological murder-mystery.

The bad: the writing is quite poor. Those early h-scenes come at the price of almost non-existent character development. The porn game logic is off the charts. Also some of the animations are wonky. There are AI games that are way better in that department.

Finally the aspect of this being an RPG/exploration type game. I don't really like it. There's extremely few games on this site that actually have fun gameplay mechanics. Almost everytime I'd rather just have a straightforward VN, not a walking simulator like this.

So overall an okay game. Some highlights, but also serious flaws. Room for improvement though as the updates are pretty fast.

Overall great. Much better assets, animation, writing than your standard issue AI RPGM slop. I don't know why Daisy has so many more scenes than all the other LIs but I assume after continued development it will be more balanced in the future. In the meantime, the sex is mostly MILF and netori with a smattering of other stuff thrown in.

At first glance it seems like an interesting game due to the game's description and, of course, the poster girl of the game, Clare. The game revolves around the sexual themes of voyeurism and NTR (so far), as the MC peeks at various characters masturbating or having sex (with potential love interests, or otherwise). It makes it feel that the MC is a mob, a nameless observer and not a protagonist.
Adam, who may be an antagonist, can get either Clare or Kate in the first act, depending the choices you make. In the case of Kate, you either have sex with her during the party, or you spy on Adam having sex with her. In the case of Clare you either spend time with her at the party and get a blowjob, or she gives her first time to Adam, where he rails her on the couch and you find out about it from security camera footage in act 2.

Game play wise it can seem a bit confusing at times since it is early at the development stage and there are some things that are not interact-able and the quest log is not that helpful.

Visually, it is a generic AI "art" game, where the characters look a bit off withe their looks and expressions. The AI animations seem weird and have an unnatural feel to them.

Story wise it seems interesting as a mystery game, where the story starts to unfold at chapter two, but it is too early to tell how that's going to turn out.

Music is nice and the general sound design is ok.

0.52.

I can see why others might rate this highly. There's a lot to like.

But personally I'm just encountering one bug after another. This is despite a re-installation, new game, and a 7800X3D/4090.

And this is all in the early content that one would think would be working smoothly by now.

With all these bugs, it's very discouraging to read that the developer is already putting some content behind a paywall.

Great animations, great character designs
Story is interesting and am interested to see how it develops
Map and interactions are nice and controls are quite smooth
Overall the game has a lot of potential

Atm would be interested in some repeatable scenes, such as the spying
Also like the NTR so am interested in more development there

-Scenes are a 10/10, however there arent many, 1 or 3 per character
-No annoying grind
-Story is interesting enough, i would like to see how it develops
-NTR is OPTIONAL, if you like it its worth playing, if you dont its also worth playing
-In the current version there arent that many Li, hope in the future they add more, like a goth or a redhead
Overall this is a huge quality game and i cant wait for the final release

Really Nice game.
It has a nice story and some cool elements.
The animations and pictures are very nice.
it still has some bugs:
- Game gets laggy when going in a area you dont need to be in
- ladder repairing dosnt work or is not clear on how to do so (edit: not implemented yet)
- transport to the flat (weed route) dosnt work or is not clear on how to do so (edit: not implemented yet)

Personal opinion:
- let the player be able to still spy just replay event

overall this game has huge potential when done right

Alright this game deserves a rating and based on its potential I can't give it less than 5 stars. A very promising start, which probably means it will be abandoned within a year, but let's stay optimistic for now.

Like I said, this has the potential to become a masterpiece, but don't expect too much from it right now. The game needs some polishing and many locations still feel a bit empty. However, you can definitely see what the developer has planned. A free roam lively world with exploring/voyeur elements and all kinds of kinks including NTR. The artwork looks great and the lewd scenes are nicely animated.

The dialogue and story so far are pretty basic, don't expect anything too deep there. The strength of this game lies in the artwork and the exploration. I personally hope the dev will add more voyeur and NTR scenes in the future.

I know it's not a fair comparison but if I had to summarize the game after the initial release, it feels like a slightly unpolished Summertime Saga in a modern RPGM guise.
