Wolf RPG - Completed - Pronant Symphony [Final] [E.B.]

Honestly one of my favorite games on this site. Though it may not be for some, I found this game enjoyable in a way that most games are not. Even though I started on the good route with fewer sex scenes the core functions of the game and the story that wound through everything was both enjoyable and touching in a way I did not expect. And while some may consider the game grindy or too challenging I genuinely enjoyed every part of the combat and exploration functions to the point where I decided to 100% the game on its hardest effective difficulty. The sex scenes are also rather good when you get around to them as well.

People play H-Games for a variety of reason, centred on one important aspect - the actual smut. As such, the industry (if it can be called that) has evolved in a way to put emphasis on the smut and ignoring most gameplay elements. F95 is littered with games that run the gamut from scene collectors to semi-proper RPGs with the vast majority doing the bare minimum to classify themselves as a game. In such a landscape, it is rare to find a gem such as Pronant Symphony that has so many gameplay elements to it that you forget you're playing an H-Game. In fact, some minor exposure to the H-Scenes early on made me dislike them as they weren't all that good. However, I ended up putting 20+ hours into the game as I was captivated by the gameplay elements.

A lot of people have already talked in depth about the gameplay elements so I'll just quickly summarize the ones that stood out to me as memorable. The game is an RPG where you do turn-based combat to level up, collect materials from monsters (but also from the environment) and use it to synthesize gear. However, where it is unique is that it has a day/night system. You encounter more monsters at night and you get different crafting materials, rare ones that result in better equipment. The turn-based combat isn't your usual "Spam Z" as you have limits on the number of abilities you can use initially. You have to be careful to keep your better attacks for tougher enemies and not waste them on cannon fodder. You can reset the limit once per dungeon run. However, it is advantageous to stay in the dungeon for longer as it results in better materials, more XP and you get "Hell Points" which you can use to upgrade your attacks' power and limit. The battles themselves are exciting enough for a WolfRPG game. You can discover information about your opponents using battle knowledge and then equip abilities that target their weakness. The battle stage also has dynamic elements which mean that using a certain element is advantageous at that particular moment. So it's useful to have a wide variety of elemental attacks equipped for the right moment.

Equipment also makes a fair difference in this game with some annoyingly overpowered enemies hidden away. The boss, satan and another archdemon were annoying to defeat unless you knew their attacks and equipped your party accordingly. And choosing your party with the right skills is essential as well. You need a healer, a ranger and a DPS.
Another great quality about the game is that there's a lot of content that isn't essential to the game itself but is useful and fun to discover and do. You can capture and sell monsters, if you sell them to a zoo-ish area, you get crafting materials for synthesis. Or you can sell them for money. There are a lot of treasures on offer that require first gathering information from denizens of the floor, then beating a boss. Doing so gives you clothing options for your party and while limited, were a fun smutty side to a game otherwise lacking in H-Content. The game also has a metroidvania-esque quality to it where getting equipment opens up newer areas on earlier levels so you have reason to go back and retrace old steps. Doing so leads to some useful equipment that comes in handy not only during regular gameplay but also the final boss.

One thing I wasn't a fan of was the grind. After you reach a certain point, there's nothing to do except beat the final boss. But if you're not levelled enough or RNG luck hasn't given you the right amulets, you're stuck grinding. I didn't have any particular equipment for death-negation so I had to walk around looking for the right materials and it just simply wasn't happening. You also can't sell your equipment. You can sell the synthesis materials but not the equipment. There was a lot of shit I was carrying around that cluttered up my inventory and I'd have been happier if I could have gotten rid of it.

Which leads us to the H-Scenes. Truth be told, I completely ignored them. Saw a couple and they weren't of the highest quality and I was genuinely having a good time playing the game, I decided to forego them and go down the good route. Which is a shame. The idea of mind controlling and requests like "Give me your panties" conjure up images of some great CG after which the character in question is pantyless during combat. But none such scenes transpired. Instead, you get an equippable item which is easily ignored amongst the vast mounds of paraphernalia you'll collect. Clothing damage was also not progressive enough so there's a lot to be desired on that front.

At the end of the day, this is a rubbish H-Game. But it is a solid game and by virtue of having some smutty elements to it, is elevated above the drivel that usually plague the industry - an industry that is filled with low-investment games where combat means spamming Z or where the story involves just slutting out the MC. Thus, I feel this game could be genre-defining in a way. If the smut was improved, it would undoubtedly be the best RPG H-Game I have ever played.

Finally i've finished this game. Damn it feels good...
To sum:
1) Was it a good game ? REALLY GOOD
2) Was it a good H experience ? Not that good.

Story: This game has a really interesting story and i'm completely into it. At first i was going a full evil mode. However, as the story continue, i really wanted to be a good guy for once. This is one of those games that can make you go a full second play through just to get all the things. I really enjoy the scenes, the story and the heat of every battles. This is a game that you can spend minutes just to watch more about its story. I'm not going to spoil anything, just to let you know that... most reviews here are into stories too.

CG - Scenes: Well, compares to the very well-written story and fantastic gameplay... The H part itself wasn't that good...Although this game has a genre about mind control, the gameplay is about mind control..., the H scenes aren't that much "mind control". Most of the scenes are well... kinda tasteless and not that good. If you go a full good route, the number of scenes you might encounter are about 1-2 scenes, which is stupidly low. Another thing is that despite this is a 6-10 hours game (might be more because it took me 5 days - each day about 3-4 hours). there aren't that many H-scenes. The gallery only has about 5-6 scenes for each girl, which isn't enough...

Gameplay:
1) This is the shiny point of this game. Unlike most other H games where you only go 1 way to new maps and let aside old maps. This game actually recycle all the old one and connect them with newer maps. Most of the puzzle actually require you to go back to the earlier floors (some even make you go back to the entrance), which makes you feel like everything is really well-designed and has its own purpose. Some maps even connect to each other which makes you feel like the whole dungeon are really big and gorgeous. Not to mention, some floors are designed specially for each girl, which makes always make you think and try your own strategy ( +1 respect for dev).
2) Finally, of course the greatest point of this game is the morale system. Depend on how you act with the girls (rape / head pat) and how you treat everyone in the dungeon. The game actually change depends on that. Some dialog will change and some place can only visit with the right route (good/evil). This makes the game has so many re play potential and even some new things happened in the second playthough. However, as you can't back to the other route, every choices are really important in order to reach your desire ending. They even have about 6-7 endings just depend on your choice. A really good choice matter game i must say.

A Grind Nightmare: As flawless as that, the game is indeed a grind nightmare. Beside those creeps you meet along the exploration... ALL the bosses in this game are come from Dark Souls. Why ? Because they can easily one hit you like a joke. So in order to avoid being slapped by a boss, you need to level up. And that is where the nightmare come from. The amount of exp you got from killing mobs are quite... low so... you get the idea... Everything will be fine if i got 1-2 level up ?? The problem is that you might need 5-6 lv instead because how stupidly the damage the boss can deal with the field effect (which can buff bossd damage out put) So... more farming.

TLR:
Overall, this is a really interesting game and one of a rare game that i really want to do a second playthrough. If you have some spare time and looking for a good game ?? Try this because you won't regret. However, if you're a busy person and likely spends time on H-games, i suggest you look for another one because... most of the time in this game is farming and exploring, not that much Hentai for beating the meat.

Have a nice day.

The following may sound like gushing. That's because it is. I am in love with this game.

This has been one of the best eRPG games I have ever played, full stop. After my first playthrough, this game kept me up at night. Multiple times in the story I was moved to laughter, to anger, and to tears. I've found the soundtrack on YouTube and listen to it outside the game and some songs still makes me emotional in ways I thought 2020 had beat out of me.

TLDR: Fantastic story, very clever game design, godly character writing, fun and challenging gameplay. Light on H-content unless you are willing to follow the evil route, which plays into the story.

Pros:

• Incredible writing, story, and dialogue. The story is fantastic: the premise is generic (power of teamwork to kill the demon lord), but the execution and constant involvement of mind control as a trope provides more depth than I was expecting. There are many branching paths that don't even finish at the endings; the endings can branch as well. Most games, I skim the dialogue. This one's I found myself reading out loud.
• The characters. All are all very likeable and well written, the 4 girls as well as the male MC. The girls are great characters, but the development and arc of the main character on the good route is what I loved.
• Clever game design.
  • For most of the game, you are very vulnerable without your party members to encourage you to get attached. The game also repeatedly takes them away from you to drive home the point.
  • Pronant is two different games for two different people. For the evil route, Pronant is an eRPG with h-content like any other, using the 4 heroines for h-material. But for the good route, the game is about attempting to build a relationship with the 4 heroines in spite of mind control while pushing through trial after trial, desperately attempting to protect everyone.
  • Most cutscenes are not completely hands-off, requiring you to continue to control your character. Definitely adds to the immersion and effect for me, and one primary reason one of the endings was such a gut punch.
  • The low h-content is a plus for me as it is extremely cleverly utilized; the allure of sex as a temptation must be resisted just as much by the main character as you, the player, if you want to stay a good person. It serves both gameplay and the story.
  • Lots to be unlocked on subsequent playthroughs. Yeah, this is one of those games.
• Damn decent gameplay. Necessarily simplistic for a turn-based Wolf Engine eRPG, but with additional tactical considerations, tactical options, and build management. And you'll need to take all the above into account, as the game does not fuck around with difficulty. Easy in Pronant Symphony is normal anywhere else.
• Impressive musical score. If you're a little emotional like me, the score goes a long way to beating you in the face with a feel train.

Cons:

• Very limited H-Content, even more so if you want to be a good person/play the good path. I completed the good path having seen 2 h-scenes. The H-content is meant to serve the story, not a fap session.
• Sad to admit that of the four girls, only one is truly the main character with the most dedication and writing.
• Potentially grindy on harder difficulties; this can be mitigated with smart play and item usage.
• Extremely story heavy, for those not interested. Some cutscenes can last ~5 minutes or so.

Now. Where to fucking start? Light spoilers ahead.

The story? Stunning.

The story revolves around the mind control spell, Pronant. Your male protagonist begins as a gloomy and very weak demon with mind control powers. Your goal? To defeat the demon king to free you from your demonhood. You've enlisted the unwilling help of 4 powerful sisters to this end using Pronant.

Depending on how you play, the male main character of Pronant Symphony necessarily evolves as a character. I played on good path and only intend to play the good path; there is an evil path that I cannot and will not speak of. But on the good path, male MC turns from a whiny, weak, and unlikeable avatar to a badass with a pure heart worthy of his harem.

The 4 heroines are also class characters, though as mentioned it's clear that one of them occupies more of the main character slot. That's alright though, because she's so likeable you'll be gravitated towards her on your first playthrough anyway. Once you see the CG of her bright smiling face, you'll know what I mean.

The story is gradual, slowly pushing your way through hell with the 4 heroines and building a relationship with each; but thanks to mind-control, it's not even clear whether or not such feelings are real. Yet, you cannot exist without these girls. And at times, they cannot exist without you. How you decide to take this relationship is up to you, you do have mind control powers.


But what about the H-content? You must've come to this game to fap; every other game on this site and on dlsite is meant for that after all.

There's not a lot of h-content in Pronant Symphony even compared to other eRPGs, but that's not why the h-content is there. Pronant Symphony expertly uses your expectation to fap against you.

Of the four main girls, each has only one consensual h-scene viewable at the very end of the game. You get one scene per girl per game clear. You must clear the game four times to organically unlock them all. All others involve rape in some capacity.

Yeah, you heard me. If you want in on the sexy times, you need to give in to temptation, to use Pronant for self-indulgence, and to become a bad person. If that's your cup of tea, molestation, rape, and more are at your disposal if you are willing to suffer the consequences. If you want the good ending, you need to play like a good person. Much as the main character must resist laying his hand on the 4 heroines, so too must you.


The world of Pronant Symphony is not a nice one. Things will happen that are out of your control and that you must attempt to rectify if you want to make the world even a little better a place. Even the premise is slightly chilling; as a wielder of mind-control magic, the desire to manipulate people and to do terrible, terrible things is literally at your fingertips. Indeed, trying to be a good person in Pronant is not easy, even counter to the themes and flow of the world presented to you.

However, I genuinely believe that if you play Pronant Symphony for the game it is instead of the fapping material elsewhere on this site, you will be in for a beautiful journey.

Personally, I'm looking forward to my second playthrough with a sincerity I haven't felt in a long time.

I haven't played a game like this since Ariadne and Magica, where the story is is more intriguing than the h-scenes itself!!

Guys, do yourselves a favor and dive into this game. The story is really excellent, and the h-scenes are good too (though it is hard to complete without going through the bad guy route).

Eitherway, whether you play the good or bad guy, the story is worth it.

Moral dilemma on whether you should control people or not. Whether you can change for the better or delve deeper into depravation. Whether to care for the girls or to make use of them.

Whatever the answers are to these questions, you alone will answer through your actions.

11/10 game, gonna save this in my "H-games that are too good to delete and forget" collection

One of the best H-game I've ever played, it was definitely up there with Blacksouls, the story is very immersing, and the world-building is great, the characters are really fleshed out and their interaction is funny and sometimes sweet.

What makes me kinda disappointed is that the game really put too much focus on one of the heroines, i understand the implications but i really like to see more of the other 3 sisters ed

Overall it was a really fun and great game really recommended the others to try it

You guys no need to read long ass reviews and rating just to decide whether you should invest your time with this game or not. Ahem. Did you have play Ruin Seeker and enjoyed the game? If yes then this is another genuinely satisfied game for you to enjoy. Have fun!

Great character development and depending on how you wanna play it, you can make it a more traditional rpg or an rpg with you being the villain who rapes women however he likes.
I greatly enjoyed the personalities of the characters

Finished the game for the first time, on normal mode. Took me about ~20 hours, and that's without me being a completionist or fighting some of the optional bosses.

As an H-game, it's honestly pretty bad, but I have to rate it 5/5 just because it has a great story and is miles ahead of the generic stuff you find on this site. This is one of those games where you could strip out the lewd content and still have a fun, memorable playthrough.

By the way, I recommend doing the bad end (preferably the REALLY bad end you get from murdering a bunch of people) FIRST. You'll understand why when you see the ending - it'll make you sad and want to play the good endings, which is a much better alternative than the other way around of getting a good ending, and then ruining the mood.

Plus, the bad endings are how you get the majority of H-scenes anyway, and since you're on F95, I'm guessing that's what you're looking for.

9/10 Play this game.

Although, if you're in it for the porn, abandon it now.

Pronant Symphony is a game not about porn and more about characters and story. You control Julius, a young human-turned demon as he goes on a quest to slay an archdemon with the help of four manipulated sisters using mind-control magic.

Sex/Porn [4/10]
While not extremely bad, it's not good either. Most of the scenes are rape and you don't get non-bad end character scenes until the end. Additionally, the scenes are alright and pretty basic. They feel mostly like padding rather than scenes you'd actively try to search for.

Gameplay [8/10]
Pronant Symphony is a standard turn-based RPG with a few a few notable mechanics
Gathering/Crafting: Throughout Pandemonium (The dungeon you explore), you'll find gathering spots to obtain materials. These materials can be used to craft powerful weapons, armor, and accessories with special abilities and skills attached to them.
- In addition, gathering spots will give you different materials at night, so be on the lookout when the sun sets.
(Make sure to gather as much as you can, because you WILL need those materials.)
Skills: There are three notable things about skills:
- You learn new skills by equipping a specific weapon and gaining skill EXP
- Rather than just consuming mana, skills can only be used a certain number of times before they run out completely. Using a skill enough times though will increase its charges. (Note: Your standard attack counts as a skill)
- You can equip up to 4 special skills per character. By default, you can use your standard attack and an escape/defend option in battle. However, if you want to utilize the special skills you've been training up, you'll need decide which 4 pokemon moves you'll choose.
(PS: Certain skills can be upgraded further to increase their power or max uses.)
Battlefield: The battlefield you fight on is also important to account for.
- Battlefields have elements/affinities associated with them which can increase or decrease the effectiveness of certain skills (Including the enemy's).
- Additionally, your characters have special character abilities to alter the battlefield, and a sudden Catastrophe could suddenly shift your plans.
Pronant: Essentially mind-control, Pronant can be used in exploration and combat.
- Out in the field, Pronant can let you gain useful info from NPCs such as secrets, buried loot, and treasure info. You can also go around robbing people blind, raping NPCs, or even lewding the girls. As you can imagine though, this does have ramifications...
(Important Note: Don't try to lewd the sisters even once if you want to stay on the good guy route. You will be judged.)
- In combat, Pronant allows you to temporarily turn enemies against one another, having them attack other enemies or even just attacking themselves.
Summary: Very solid RPG gameplay, if not a bit tedious when it comes to material farming and level grinding.

Story [11/10]
This game's story is genuinely great.
You play as Julius, an Alv (Minor Demon) who was once a human and had a terrible upbringing. In order to cure yourself of your life-threatening Alv curse, you use Pronant to mind-control a group of four sisters into venturing into Pandemonium and killing the Archdemon that cursed you.
From here, you can either play as a good guy or a bad guy with the many choices you make, however the good guy ending and story is really what this game is about.
Julius at first goes from someone who would easily use, manipulate, and dispose of the four sisters if he wanted to, to someone who questions his life choices and watches over the four sisters (If you take the good guy route).
Without going through spoilers, the game goes great lengths to bring out Julius' transformation, as well as his interactions with the sisters and how he learns from them. It brings up the morality of manipulation and the question of whether or not people can redeem themselves from their past wrongs, or whether it's right or not to lash out at others due to your own terrible upbringing and life. The scenes where he's reflecting on who he is as a person and wishing that using mind-control wasn't the only way he could have met the four sisters is powerful and speaks volumes about how much you've changed Julius through your choices throughout the game.
Additionally, the four sister are incredibly likeable, each one having their own personality and their own view as to how they see Julius. It's pretty easy to become attached to them and want to stay on good terms with them throughout the adventure.

TL;DR Summary
Pronant Symphony is a pretty bad porn game, but an amazing story-based RPG. It has likeable characters, an engaging plot that focuses on the main character's redemption and growth (If you choose the good guy route), and has solid gameplay to back it up. Play it if you can.

I often skip small games of like 300mo, but this game...

If you are only here for the sex scenes, you might as well pass your way. This is just a small part of the game.

This game is fully about the story, believe me... If it's your first playthrough, chose the good guy road and avoid H. I swear you won't regret it.

I wish the 'bad guy' road was more developped with more scenes or some unique kind of gameplay. But I also wish it didn't exist at all... (I started with evil road but restarted the game because I felt really bad midgame...) but seeing how large the game is I won't say much about that.

The game in itself is a very big RPG with it's own world and some grind but not annoying. I rarely play grindy games but I really liked this one. There's a lot of event which will immerse the player into the party and even at 25 hours of game after my first playthough, I am sure I missed at least 30% of them.

As I said before, if you wish for a game mainly about feeling and story then play this game. You absolutely WON'T regret it !

This game is not the best H experience, but makes up for everything else it offers.

This game does well lampshading the human nature, it revolves around a skill called pronant, is a ability that allow the user to manipulate against their will any other individual and do them to their binding. You're free to use it as you see fit and if you're truthful on his use you will meet a ending acording to it

I cannot talk more about or it will spoil you ahead. The game ins't has hard as it look, if you have problem against a particular foe, you probably just need wear a diferent armor and train another weapon until you get his skill. The rest is self explanatory inside the game

One of the few games i will put on my hall of fame folder.

If you're looking for a game purely for its H Scenes, this might not be the game for you. Pronant Symphony tell a story with an actual character instead of a caricature most HGame have.

The story is actually pretty touching and by the end of my first playthrough, I was attached to the characters, I screwed up on the beginning part of my first playthrough and got a really bittersweet ending which kinda leave me speechless. after witnessing that ending, I was determined to get the best good ending possible on my subsequent playthrough(which I got) and having to finish the story kind of make me feel like there's a hole in me.

Can also substract 2 star if you're playing for purely H stuff, but otherwise it's a masterpiece.

Man this game nailed the atmosphere from the start. Just finished the good route and it was very satisfying. The problem is that you get attached to the characters when you play the good route that you really don't want something bad happening to them, which makes me afraid to replay for evil route.

Quick review: Good route tried to tell a good but melancholic story and the nailed it but not a lot of H-scene (at most 3, 2 of those are just nudes) which is nice cause it can hinder the character development (play it you'll see), but kinda wish there were for incentives to continue exploring.

P.S
FF'sake the other good end is not yet translated D:

This game is a flawed gem, I'd rate it 4.5/5 if I could, but since it made me cry during my first ending it's closer to 5. Just don't come into this if your expecting porn and want to be a good guy, 99% of the sex scenes in this game are rape, with several rape attempts done by others(Which can be thwarted) and a rape of a side character being all you're getting until you finished the game. This will mostly be a guide for people that are confused, I'll be giving out tips that the tutorial glosses over or doesn't tell you about until much later(or not at all). Just keep in mind I played this game as a good guy, I can't comment as someone who committed evil, you monster.

Overview
You basically play as a weak demon who has to use mind powers to get people to follow you around. You're not a nice person to begin with, you only see those around you as pawns. But you've also never experienced a life of happiness, you've only experienced a life of poverty. Suffering a curse that your brainwashing abilities gave you, you must slay the demon who gave you these powers in order to not die. Thankfully you found 4 sisters, one of the strongest parties around that will aid in your quest, unwillingly. Over time maybe you're feelings towards them, and theirs towards to you will change, or maybe you'll go over the line and become the demon that you appear as.

Basic Combat
Standard rpg/wolfmaker fare, so don't expect too much from it. You tell a character to attack they attack But before you can properly get into combat you'll notice how weak you, Julius are. Your stats suck, you really do need the sisters to help carry you through most of the game, and outside of certain fights you'll be controlling them. But at the same time, they don't trust you enough to listen to your orders at the start, expect Irito(best girl) who will always follow you, just level them up a few times and you'll be good. Your moves can only be used for so long until they become exhausted, which can only be replenished by leaving the dungeon or finding one time recover spot(they regenerate every dungeon run) on certain floors. Thankfully the more you used a move, the more times you can use it, until it gains a little * next to it's name which means it's at it's max level. Weapons and armor also have this feature, using them enough times in battle will improve their stats for that character, with certain weapons also having special skills tied to them which can be learned once the weapon has been used enough. You can only equip 4 skills at a time so be careful with your combo, you will always have at least an attack command, and a escape(defend during bosses) command. And if you somehow manage to use all of a character's moves, pressing shift will let you struggle, a piss poor attack that's better then nothing. Shift is also how you use special skills and field commands, which I'll get to later.

Advanced Combat
So you've gained a few levels, even a few skills, and you're gearing up for the boss and you've started to notice something strange, field effects. The tutorial for this happens quickly but it doesn't really matter at the start, and won't for a bit more but it's better to learn to abuse it as fast as possible. Basically field effects will empower certain aspects, such as fire spells or weaken your party during a battle. Learning when to use a fire spell when fire effect is up is easy, the important part is what comes next, field effect skills. By pressing shift you can tell your characters to provide a special skill unique to them that will alter a field effect. Either by erasing it, changing it, or flipping it, by using this feature when it benefits you the most will save you many hardships. But they can only be used once, so it's better to only use it when you have to, but they do replenish when you reach a recover point. Later on you'll learn special skills by equipping(or getting a passive much later on) a tome on a character, these are also character specific and can only be used once as well. Catastrophes start becoming a threat, it's a mechanic usually only prevalent during a boss fight that will make them do major damage if you don't stop them. Debuffs and attacks will break a catastrophe, whilst also providing a small buff to the party member who broke it. If you manage to not break it by that time you better be ready to defend, something exclusive to boss battles. You'll also notice an orb at the bottom right rising up, this is acclimation points, the higher it gets the better the rewards are. There are no downsides at all to having a high value, although you lose them all when you teleport so be careful with that. Get a large amount of it before you head back from the dungeon and you'll gain bonus items, and mana too. It also increases your mana pool back at home, which I'll get to later. Just be sure to remember, debuffs are the way to go, bosses are not meant to be headbutted until they die, weaken the shit out of them before you pummel them and you'll have a much better time.

The Inn
Home base, where you can talk to the sisters for some fluff and just listen to Irito's beautiful music box. Which by the way, touch it a bunch and you'll gain the ability to carry it with you to the dungeon, and if you've played bloodborne it'll have a special use later on so you'll want it before the midway point. By going to the door to your bedroom you can see any scenes you've seen and a few other options, touching the light at the table lets you vist stores and karma exclusive areas, and the book near that light will let you buy equipment and consumables. Finally the light near the entrance is where you'll use those mana orbs you bring back, allowing you to upgrade certain skills that you and the girls have, you can only carry a maximum of 5000, so be sure to use them. You can give orders to the sisters here, but you can do it anytime in the dungeon too, although there are special ones that can only be done at the inn. Check back at the inn every now and then and you'll get some special scenes.

Gathering/Synthesis
What you want the good stuff, info on orders and karma and- just suck it up. Gathering resources and crafting is the lifeblood of the game, it's where some of the strongest gear is at. Gathering is simple enough, approach a node and press interact(Z) to gather, but wait there's more. By pressing 1 near a node you can upgrade it, with just a little coin, to increase the amount you gather. It also has a nice side effect of making the nodes appear easier to find, helpful. But gathering also reduces Julius's health, further reinforcing his weak status. You can later find a passive that decreases the amount of health lost, but right now he shouldn't be on the frontlines. When night comes, enemies will attack more often, but the resources change to a special night type. You'll need plenty of both so don't be afraid to stay after dark. Now to craft, hit the synth butto- what you complaining because you knew that? Sure it may seem obvious but I bet you didn't know you save hitting archive, huh? Anyway crafting is pretty simple, but you also get a special resource during exploration called material magic. These can only be used at the inn, and you can only have 9 of them at the time, so use them when you can. They only offer the basic resources of the latest floor you've been to, so it's not too useful.

Exploration
You may notice that there are hostile enemies that attack you when you approach and friendly npcs that you can talk to. Those npcs barely provide anything useful, without mind powers that is. But that's coming later, just be sure to hit 1 whenever you find a new npc. That'll provide you with special information usually related to a dig spot or treasure info. Dig spots can be found without the help of a npc, but unless you're hitting interact everywhere... Treasure however is different, you want this for reasons I'll explain shortly. Explore until the minimap is full and you'll gain a bonus item or ability, so get exploring. You'll also run into areas covered in blood and bones, these areas are where you'll be getting your mana from, don't be afraid to explore them. You'll find altars and other interactables, remember save often if you're in doubt. Altars are only useful if you have treasure info, these allow you to get a special item by offering other items. But it's time for dungeon diving, you'll find whilst exploring a hole in a wall that leads to a menu, these are mini dungeons, and can't be found without treasure info. Most are just a mini boss fight, but some lead to whole new areas. Completion of these dungeons will grant you the coveted treasure, some gold, mana, a crystal, and... an outfit? You're not guaranteed an outfit, and they're randomly generated so be sure to do them all. There are also events with a !, *, and character icon. Interacting with ! will provide fluff, * is story progression(you'll get a warning when you get to a crucial part of it) and character icons are only useful when you get a passive skill later on. The character icons increase affection with the right response, but don't feel too pressured about that.

Orders
Keep it in your pants, literally. By using up mana you can order the sisters to do all sort of lewd things such as, hand holding! You can only give a sister 3 orders before the mana required to give one increases to the next tier, which is unlocked by progressing to the next themed area of the dungeon. Keep in mind that outfit change order only unlocks when you've got an outfit for a girl, so maybe keep an order handy for it. But be careful with you force them to do, molesting and rape leads to a path where you can never get their good ending, and plenty of bad karma too. Now orders can also be used on npcs too, 1 is of course the demand info key. 2 is stealing, which will give you bad karma if done too much. 3, requires the usage of a special gamebreaking item. 4 is the rape key, which can only be used on female npcs and will permanently tarnish your soul. 7 is the special key, it lets you do unique functions try them out, asking about an npc is quite useful. You must strive to res-STOP RAPING BEFORE I TELL YOU ABOUT KARMA YOU FUCK.

Karma
Yes you're a demon, yes you do bad things, yes you can rape best girl(you fucking monster) but that doesn't mean you should and won't be judged for your actions. By actively doing bad things you tarnish your soul, which allows you to go to certain areas that were refused to you before. But there is no good ending coming your way, the moment you molest or rape a girl, your committed to the act of tyranny, there is no coming back to the fate that awaits you. But minor crimes like stealing will be cleansed upon doing good things, like not stealing from a dead corpse, or helping people. You can ask an old man standing near some boxes on floor 3 what your karma level currently is, and if you've committed a grave sin. Do enough good and you'll be locked out of evil actions for the rest of the playthrough once you hit the halfway point of the game.

Affection
Short and sweet, affection isn't super important. By fighting a girl may get 1 point in affection at the end of a battle, and once it hits 10 they get a passive skill that can be equipped on the 4th skill slot. It only unlocks more character icon events, so exploring older areas can result in more character development. It doesn't really have any effect on the ending, although having it be too low may end poorly for you, but by the point you should have enough affection for it not to matter.

Endings
You spent 10 hours grinding to finally achieve the anime ending scene of your dreams, but before that is there new game+? Yes there is, you keep a decent amount of items and all your skills from the previous run. You also keep 1 key item, the one that lets you see hidden objects but it's gotten so early it really doesn't matter. Affection is reset but levels are not, not to mention you unlock BONUS events, and orders which I have yet to see. You can freely view any ending you've gotten at the title screen, so I hope you brought tissues. And finally for going into new game+ you can finally see Julius face, what a reward. Just be to sure to activate it at your bedroom later if you actually care. As for the good endings, it's entirely(probably) based on who you talk to before the final battle, so be sure you do Irito first, because god damn does she deserve it.

Final Thoughts
I certainly missed some things here and there, but I tried my best. This is a really good game, at least for someone that plays as good. But I doubt you'll be aroused whilst doing that. It's not something that needs porn actually, I would've been fine without it. I can only imagine the terrible events that occur if you play as an evil dude, at least you get a choice unlike in Venus Blood. Irito alone is worth it, but the rest of the cast can stand up just fine without her. If you're on the fence on whether to play this or not, give it 2 hours. If it doesn't hook you by then it probably won't. The Protagonist does get better though, with time he opens up and starts acting like a human, yet still very much like himself. Character development like that is rare, for that alone it's worth a play in my eyes. It's kinda funny how playing the game for it's porn ruins it, like a commentary on the meaningless of sex without working for it. But regardless of how much you wish to ruin the game, I hope you have a good time. Just remember when you go into hell for ruining Irito's dreams, I'll drag you down deeper with me.

Good game, not the best H experience.

I'm the type who cheats in games, and tends to rush through them. I don't typically play h-games for the gameplay, its more about the hentai. That said, this is a strangely addicting game. Its not really anything special, but it has a few unique mechanics and it feels like it has some depth.

I'm playing through as a good guy/demon, so there's essentially no h-content at all worth mentioning. The art for the girls is attractive however, and the story has this melancholy feel to it without (yet) feeling pointless. I haven't finished the game though, so depending on the endings available this may change. I'm not really happy about the lack of clear information regarding karma, but besides that I like story so far.

Subtract two stars if you just want some hentai with some context, otherwise if you want to play an actual game this might be interesting for you.
