    What is this game and how is it rated so high? This is just a spineless MC in a rape simulator.
    Monster girls are my favorite, but after playing this, my fantasy is destroyed.
    Like every step the MC takes, he gets raped. His vocal chords can only produce sounds and not actual words. Any time he is able to form a full sentence is only in his thoughts.
    At one point he gets a backbone, but gets assaulted again in next 5 mins. After that I thought he will at least standup for himself a little, but alas nothing.

    I wonder why there is female dom tag on this. Could have saved my time :|

    PS: I can summarize the story in 2 lines. 3 minutes of story, then MC getting raped, cumming multiple times and blacking out. And then repeat for the whole game.

    If you're like me and you've played a ton of monster girl games, then you know this genre is a very safe, risk-adverse one, with very little innovation and its own, well established story tropes and clichés. And while some games like Monster Girl Quest are able to subvert some of those tropes to tell more compelling stories, even the best of the genre are not immune to very repetitive and similar plot points, character designs are archetypes that are very reminiscient of Japanese-style storytelling (for better or worse). Of course, since almost all those games are made in Japan, its not surprising, as it's a very self-centered, very competitive industry and market, and external devs from other countries often hav no choice but to base their games on those previous works, partly copying their strengths and their weaknesses.

    Now, if you've played Monster Girl Quest, imagine that game with no subversion of tropes, inconsequential character interactions, no meaningful character development and a story so barebones and full of cliches you've already foreseen the entire story progression after five minutes. That's Quest Failed for you.

    Honestly, I'm not here to judge other players, as you like what you like, I have no say in that, but I don't understand the high reviews on this one, unless they have never played a single MG game in their lives, in which case it would be understandable.

    The story is as cliche and barebones as you can imagine. The protagonist is your typical Japanese anime souless shell for the player self-insert into : No personality, no apprearance of character traits aside from the fact he's a failure and can't do anything right, like 99% of Japanese MCs nowadays. In fact, the entire game builds around that premice, the fact that the MC can't do anything and fails every mission the world and himself throw at him. It frames that as making a joke around it, but the way it comes across is really not funny. The MC first tries to become an adventurer and runs into the first MG of the game, the slime girl. And, outside of the fact that their interaction is really a lot of nothing in terms of character development, that scene made me realize that the game is painfully, glacially slow. Everything in that scene takes forever to go to the point, and every character interaction after that is like that. it's your typical MG encounter which ends on a rape scene, because of couurse it would, and the MG ends up following the MC as he builds up his unvolontary harem, because of course it would. The story (for now) isn't about a Monster Lord or angels or whatever crap MG games like to recycle over and over (thank god) but it still is the MC trying to be a hero and do the right thing for now given reason, because he's the hero and we have to move the plot forward I guess.

    There are things in this game that I do quite like, like MC's memories sequences about

    , or

    . But those are the only two moment where I thought "Well, this game has some ideas after all, I can't wait too see what it does with them", and what it does is nothing. Maybe those are explored in Chapter 2, but honestly I won't bother checking out the rest of the game. If Chapter 1 is a testament to the quality of Quest Failed, then there is no reason for me to touch the other chapters other than wasting my time.

    There are many more MG games that are better than this. Even your recycled Japanese mediocre MG games are better than this one, on top of having arguably better artstyles. Speaking of artstyle, even the style of this game tries its hardest to mimic the anime style, and in my eyes also fails comically at that by moments. Which is quite a callback to the title of the game and a nice metaphor, if you ask me.

    This is The Little Mermaid hentai by Hans Christian Andersen all over again. Almost literally crying right now, very high-IQ. Voice-acting is top-notch and English, the vocabulary is rich, the drawings crisp and colourful. The themes explored by this hentai are profound and historical, and are a reflection of the shape of things to come. Five red stars.

    It's mostly linear which means the Dev was able to put a lot more time and effort into the story, dialogue, and characters and it really shows.

    It's also Femdom with the monsters being the dominant ones, but they way it's written it's a mixture of light hearted monster horror with the H-scenes which is pulled off really well.

    Loved this VN. The story is great and the monster girls are satisfactory. Chapter1 is quite lengthy. Sex scenes are quite alright, however i do feel bad for the MC. You will just have to play to find out why lol. Great elements of comedy. So Can't wait for the other chapters to come out.

    This game is great, there are no option(or none that affect the story for more than 3-4 sentances). But it has pretty fine writing and I love the voice acting(of which there is quite a bit), but it can be quiet at times.

    If visual novels are your cup of tea and so are monster girls, this game is a 5/5.

    Quite clearly a simple start to a long running game series, so it's a linear on-rails game with decisions that impact what scenes you get. The art is really well done, some basic 2 frame animations scattered around, and the best VA work of any western h-game around. Very underrated given the lack of interest in the game thread, highly recommend both Chapter 1 and the in-progress Chapter 2.

    Absolutely LOVE this game!!! Definitely going in the Top 10!

    This is just so well put together- it's interesting to have a light-hearted game where the MC constantly "fails" (if you consider getting to team up with Jilly, Tari, and Ruby failing) (Don't forget Lucy, er I mean Lucille and ?????).
    The pictures are exceptionally well done and very vivid. The story is very interesting in premise and execution.
    There is just so much win with this game!
    The voice acting is superb- it takes some getting used to though, not because it's bad or anything- it's just you may have a different voice in your head when you first see the character and until you hear them speak then you realize that it just...works. They fit their characters and their personalities- and they all have very diverse personalities.
    Jilly is, by far, the cutest of the party- with her bubbly personality and naivete, you can't help but fall in love with her! (Though it would probably be a bad idea to get on her bad side.)
    Tari with her slow, dozy, narcoleptic-ness is so sweet and endearing.
    Ruby, the fiery one of the group, who is coming to terms with- well...feelings, in general and her awkwardness to express them makes her really likeable...nah, she's lovable too.
    Lucille is sexy, cold, and calculating, but she seems to be coming around to being more cooperative. Plus what she can do with her coils- like and X-rated Kaa from the Jungle Book.
    And who could forget ?????- the mysterious Necromantic BJD bent on destroying the world for revenge, but can put her plans on hold long enough for a BJ (she just doesn't seem to be able to multi-task all that well).
    As far as the Demo for Ch. 2 is concerned- it's looking to be just as good, if not better, than Ch.1. The new characters look like they'll fit into the story really well.
    Queen Deidra, hmmmmm, hopefully there will be a lot more to "do" with her when the full version of Ch. 2 is released. Just the little bit of interaction that you have with her is amazing- and she's li'l cutie.
    Cynthia- the battle-hardened Queen's Protector looks like she might have a softer side.
    Ren seems to be a real scatter-brain, but she's probably only pretending to be goofy- just to lure you into her ninja-like cluchtes.
    (Sister) June.... there's probably a sin or commandment about Naughty Nuns, but can Hell be all THAT bad?
    Anna the Barkeep who apparently has more going on clandestinely behind-the-scenes isn't all that hard on the eyes either.

    Can Hardly wait for Ch. 2!!!

    When I first play the first chapter I thought it was regular RPG game but I was wrong I kind of liked it even though I Envy the main character but I know how he feels about failing at stuff and try to work hard to succeed so do the guys create main character I support how he feels
