RPGM - Prayers of Distorted Minds [v0.3.5] [C.M.Cas Games]

v0.3.5


Pinnacle Slop. Not even just AI slop, but slop as a whole. There may be content buried beneath this game's wretched design, but I value my time and myself too much to waste it on this.

The game starts off with your character being a turbo incel that acts in a way I can only imagine people who never go outside think of as "Quirky, but cute". A really bad sign, but it's hentai, so the writing isn't expected to be great. I begin talking to every NPC I find and attempting to interact with any object that stands out. Much to my chagrin, it's all for naught. Nothing is interactable, many items are glitchy and let you phase through, and nobody has anything at all to say or do of value. What freedom are people talking about? The freedom to waste your time on pointless NPCs? The freedom to talk to a girl and have her open your browser to the dev's patreon page? Because I loathe that. That's pretty disgusting. Few things in hentai games are more offputting than being asked to "Donate to the Supreme God" and then having it pull up your browser without real prompting or consent. It's not funny, it's not quirky, it's just creepy and cringe. Says basically everything you need to know about the dev in a single instant.

But I persevere. Surely there is SOMETHING in this immediate disaster piece to warrant the current unanimous 5 star rating. This game's current only good feature is that it has a compass leading you ever towards your goal.

Upon following said compass to my destination, I then immediately get a quest in which my goal is to just sit there and grind the braindead RPGM combat with an "autofight" option that makes the entire ordeal even more baffling. If you know nobody wants to do it, why have it? The quest is to win 10 fights, but there's no real quest tracker, so you have to use this weird item that tells you how to do EVERYTHING all at once rather than piecemeal.

I got through 8 fights and needed to heal, so I go to the Inn and rest. When I wake, it's entirely dark out and the map is almost impossible to navigate. Almost. It's just dark and there are no settings for it. Then I wanted to find literally anything else other than an actual arena grind and went to the forest, hoping it would be...a forest. It was actually just a box of void that was nigh on pitch. I stumbled both in and out finding nothing but more wasted time.

Finally, I head to the bar, hoping once more to find a single redeeming factor. I find Steve Harvey's nightmare and my first instance of a character that isn't given an AI picture...which is weird as hell since it's the first fuckable character I've found...aside from the naked grandma. It's just a default RPGM asset. One that notably did not look anything like the girl you..."bang". This prostitute sex scene was a single image with some of the worst sex sounds I've ever heard in a game and absolutely no text. Not a single letter of flavor text. Just one generic image that, much like this entire game, exemplifies why AI art is still an omnipresent sign of incompetence.

This game is awful. It just outright sucks. It's devoid of life, entertainment, and creativity. Sure, it kind of works with the idea of AI garbage as a story quirk, but...that's truly a compliment that leaves splinters. If you have to scrape the barrel that hard, you may as well not bother.

Trash is trash. The fact that this is AI trash only makes it all the fouler.

As of 0.2 this is my review:
The lore is on point as you are delusional and crazy, but it seems there is more too it the meets the eye at first.
Besides a minor bug with the cliff scene i didn't notice anything major, just maybe some tiles you shouldn't be able to walk on but this changes nothing.
Loved how you named the enemies as the point of view from the MC.
The AI art is also ok, kudos for taking in consideration the sprite with the image as best you could. I will keep this on my watch list for sure.
Keep up the good work.

Free roam. This freedom can be scary at first, but when we got to other areas, we see a lively world, much rich in details of characters personality with a just few lines. The arena is a cool system, and the time system brings new things while it's sunny and at night. The characters are unique and lovely. It was a surprise some dialogues be voiced.
There's no quests on the game, so we can pretty much do whatever we want and go wherever we want, in a sandbox style. The don't take itself serious, it deserves a "comedy" tag, but it's a fun game.
The story was not developed that much yet, v1, but the way the madness of our character is shown to us, damn, bring a writer's award to the dv.
I see a very good future for this game. All RPG lovers paradise.

Let the stars arise!
