Others - REC [v0.4.2.2] [moondev]

[REC V0.4.2.1]
The game is currently moderately short.
It's enjoyable. There are enough items and upgrades in the store to buy compared to the current amount of content in the game. I could feel character progress which is good.

NSFW content is well presented. Before playing the game, I thought I wouldn't like the pixel art style, but after playing it, I think it's hot.

The game has great potential in terms of adding new stories, e.g. with Kaede, teachers, saleswoman. I hope this will be added in the future.

However IMO, the current drawbacks of the game are:
1. NRG for Party is too strict. With max upgrades, the chance of failure in Party is too high. There are I think 3 different types of main events at the end of Party. I went through the whole game in 4 loops. After another 8 loops just to see all the Party images, I gave up and used cheats. At least add more upgrades for dice rolls if you want to extend playthrough like that.
2. I often had a bug during the night that caused my cursor to disappear, actions were performed but animations were not, only prompts were displayed, so often I had to restart the game, which was not particularly problematic as it auto saves every few moments.

These shortcomings did not ruin the gameplay too much, so I give it 5/5.

5/5

- super solid
- very good artstyle, even though there is not that much content everything looks good and enjoyable
- mini games are fun
- a bit too grindy, but in a good way, i was only bored at the end when i was maxing out relation, running event with combat can be a little slow but fast-foward option does the work well
- little audio, barely any sounds besides moaning and few simple voicelines/sfx, maybe some music would fit
- H scenes are hot and there is enough variety to be engaged, even events that look like few pixels on screen look hot
- good execution of gameplay and well done story for what the game is

I only wish i played full version, thankfully there are cheats so that wont be an issue to check whats changed later.

Great Game, you gain a sci fi camera and you do lewd things to a girl at night, the gameplay loop does get repetitive but luckily at a certain point you just print money so its fine. It also progresses into and actual relationship in the day, the combat was eh but at a certain point you just steam roll anyway, the pixel art is nice as well and quite a few scenes, a bit rng though but its acceptable, a gallery would be nice.

This game is worth your time. One of the best games I've seen here so far, but it suffers from poor balancing.

Early game is borderline unforgivable, mid game is fun, late game is incredibly easy and is basically a gallery mode at that point.

Art is amazing, both special events and regular night gameplay are very well drawn and just look amazing. Probably one of the few actually fappable pixel games.

Sound, UI and experience are very professional, PC UI is very charming. The overall feel of the game is great.

Gameplay is pretty varied: you have nightly minigame, where you molest your roommate; in the mornings you can go jogging which is its own minigame, with basic combat because apparently the entire city is out to beat the shit out of you; study books that you can buy to increase your attributes persona style; and cook food which is also its own minigame (pro-tip!!! Do that as early as you can as it gives you an energy regen buff, which is super important in the early game). Then there's persona style classes, where you have to answer a question correctly (part of it requires real world knowledge, part in-game lore which you have no option but to guess) and regualr day to day events. On Friday there's a party where you have to make sure you make a good impression on guests while not passing out from alcohol. So far, the party event is the only time where the game uses dice mechanics where every time you try to do something the game rolls a 6-die and adds a bonus from your attribute. Point is, that there's lots to do and you will suck ass at all of it, because MC is an imbecile.

If you wish to avoid spoilers, do not read past that, just know, that being ass at everything for the first 13-ish days is normal and is by design, just focus on managing your energy and increase it with jogging when you can. The game is very cool if you manage to pass early game hell.
________
By the end of two weeks, you learn that you can go back in time to the beginning of the game while keeping all your money and upgrades, that is the main point of the game: each two week long loop you start out cooler and richer until you eventually get the girl, explore everything and get bored, then you can end the loop (which currently has no ending).

The main issues I have with the game are as follows:
1. The energy gain on jogging is absurd, there either should be a cap that you need to unlock somehow or it should just slow down incrementally the more energy you have. It is incredibly easy to go past 1k and once you do that you forget about needing to manage your energy.
2. The party event is unforgiving enen on later loops. The cop event just ending it abruptly if you roll badly is irritating, because now you need to wait 14 days to do it again. It would help a lot,if there was an upgrade that would let you see a chance of a roll success before making a choice (like in most games that do skill checks).
3. As an addendum to the previous point, the loop feels a bit long. Maybe making it 7 days would actually feel better, because there's nothing to do past the first Friday. Of course, this could be made for future events, but for now week 2 is dull.
4. New time stop mechanic is too overpowered. Upgrading it twice (which is like two jogs worth of resources) lets you skip pretty much all night checks and just do your thing immediatelly, which is cool as a late game addition but not as something you can upgrade by several levels by the end of loop 1. +10 secs per level is also way too much.
5. Speaking of jogs, fighting is very easy to abuse once you get enough energy. Even late game enemies can be looped easily in a way where the can't do much damage.
6. Hitboxes during the Cooking minigame are infuriating. That god damn pan is sticking to everything but where I need it to be.
7. This is the most subjective, but the game feels like it needs a fail state. Right now, if you are discovered during night, you just restart it. Maybe failing to pay rent two times in a row, or something like that should give you a bad end?

Also, not as much of an issue as a funny thing: even if you are at max relationship, Yuna will still lose a few points if you fail to answer a question in class, which then leads to a funny situation where she refuses your advances during the shower event cause you've embarassed yourself in front of the class this morning. Kinda silly.

Overall, goated gameplay, but needs refining. Amazing art, great game. Probably the most potential out of any game currently on this site.

10/10 game

Sexy pixel art, nice voice acting, and gameplay that is fun enough on the phone.

Hopefully the dev adds more girls. Kaede was hotter than the main girl and there are sprites for a lot of other girls that are just as hot.

Masterpiece in development haha, It's a very fun game, just need more animations. What i mean by that is while on sleep and also you could do something like a passout thing on a couch or something like that would be great. It's a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to me. Thank you for this and keep it up.

Surprised me for the better. Fun and engaging gameplay, with the player actually learning strategies to improve, sexy and not as pervy is I thought, I guess since the setting is light-hearted.
And the mechanic for rewinding time makes it enjoyable even though it is challenging to start off with

It's simple, it's quite funny at times and it can be challenging: this game is one of the best on this site: mechanically sound, easy to understood and even easier to get hooked on to. Just one more night, one more upgrade, I bet I can push it a bit further next night - and boom. You're hooked, just like that.

There is a plot in this game, naturally, but it's not REALLY fleshed out: it's an eroge, so don't expect Mass Effect levels of writing/plot. All that said, the plot is still decent and there are many random events to keep it interesting and dynamic.

All in all, a good and fun game to keep you occupied for a couple of hours.

Played for an hour, ended up with no money, no energy, everyone hated me and I didn't see a single ero scene. Everytime I tried the night scene, my battery died in an instant.

As a game it's basic, as an eroge it just doesn't work.

Well, guys... This is a Masterpiece, at version 0.3.

For fans of Sleeping　－ I am 100% sure. すごいげむ！

First, a digression:
So... I'm not usually a fan of pixels, and yet I'm a big fan of 2D, anime styles, and "sleepers" are my fetish. Please join me if you have any good recommendations im PM.
Closer to the game... I sincerely wish there were more games like this. Not just more, but I'm even willing to help the developers, which is what I'll be asking them about. First and foremost, as an artist. I hope they won't spend 5 or 10 years making this one tho, like some other folks...

While people like me are sifting through mountains of junk to find something similar... This game is a pure dimond.

Pros:
Pixels don't bother me up here. Few bugs. Multiple languages. Interesting development. Decent storyline. Interesting minigames. And if they add different sex poses and different girls with new mechanics and poses, this game will be priceless. It can be put on par with Summer Days, Tora-Tora, Nightmaretaker and alike.
I'll give the developers a special thumbs up for the fact that, unlike others, they introduced key sex adventures early on in the game. This is Very Cool. 10 out of 10.

Cons:
Not enough! I want more girls and a continuation of the story. Encountered one critical bug. The minigames while running (stumina burst) and too much cooking at the beginning seemed a bit unnecessary.

A little more poetry:
My God, how unexpectedly and kindly this game has delighted me. In fact, it's enough for more than one encounter. Not many can boast that.
Overall, I haven't given anything here maximum stars in a while now. Especially I didn't expect to give them to something like version 0.3. But this little piece of delight deserves the highest praise i'd say.
It's as if my ideas and thoughts about a good sleeping game with an adult twist were partially realized here. Favorited.

SleepingBrother recommends. My fellow comrades - you should be bowed before this one.

I hope devs won't disappoint me in the future. I'm keeping an eye on you!

Really solid game so far. Love the art style. Excited to come back when endings are finished.

The mechanics were not too difficult, so I knew the grind would be manageable, but I like that codes were available to get past some of the early game.

Прикольная игрулька на пару вечеров, есть определенный момент с гриндом(решается читами), анимации приятные, сложность на оптимальном уровне, интересные диалоги. Есть небольшие проблемы с программной частью игры, но это не критично учитывая что разработчик в процессе и обновления выходят довольно часто. Попробовать стоит, похоже на NTR.

A fun game for a couple of evenings. There's a certain grinding element (resolved with cheats), the animations are pleasant, the difficulty is optimal, and the dialogue is interesting. There are some minor issues with the game's software, but it's not a big deal considering the developer is working on it and updates are released fairly frequently. It's worth a try; it's similar to NTR.

This game is going to be absolutely amazing when it is complete and balanced appropriately. I cannot overstate how much of a real game this game is compared to the overwhelming majority of NSFW slop.

I genuinely hope the developers add even more light problem solving components to the current game. This is a truly unique and 5-star worthy game even in its current unfinished state. It has a crazy amount of potential.

Fun gameplay

Combat- fun but can get a little boring after a lot of repitions. It would be nice if you could get a visual effect when enemies are charmed with the right stat, like on the cop. Or if thats not a thing it would be cool to add if you stats were high enough you could essentially one shot lower level enemies by picking the right charm dialogue.

Nighttime- EXCELLENT! No critism at all for this, other than add more content soon plz. More girls or more girls in Yunas room that you can interact with would be great. Also scenes with larger dick sizes and more cum! A pronebone scene would be nice.

Upgrades- I think a good counter point to the growing player skill and debuffs on Yuna could be making a increasing dick size upgrade. Cum amount too would be nice.

General- Some missing general features that I'd expect are rollback, though thats not super important. A main one is a gallery or at least a way to check if you have unlocked or seen everything.

Party- The only annoying this about this was if you screwed up you have to wait such a long time to try again. It'd be nice if there was a skip to party option, or at least a skip week or maybe rewind sooner?

This game doesn't feel like a slop and can feel like I'm not playing a porn game. Despite its Early Access, I can see the dev can branch out the story and thr gameplay, especially with his distinct art style. 5/5

One of the best if not THE best game i've played in this kind of H games. Dev of this game doing a very good job. He's posting like 2-3 post about game progress per week which is so cool. I really wish that this game gonna progress for years (hoping u not gonna complete this game soon) in the same quality as it is now. Thank u for your work the Mr. developer.

animations- nice and smooth no frame issues and havent had any wierd bugs yet
minigames- simple and easy to understand yet rewarding and not to annoying
combat- a little lack luster but still good and fun kinda like the other rpgm but with less stuff to do

thank god for sub gig games in a world full of 200gig bull shit

9/10 need a scene and animation viewer and slight combat improvements

Excelent gameplay and graphic there. The way dev. keep upgrade his quality in work is amazing. Cant wait till next update. Hope you can upgrade the game with more characters to interact with. There's plenty of expanable elements in this games so far. The interaction is well developed with some challenges not that you will immediately get to the point. Very detailed in characters design and also UI.

this game is incredible. it has actually good roguelike elements that make playing very fun. lots of different options. I wish the overview went a little more in depth because at first it seems like some of those quick litle games but its actually got a surprising amount of depth.

Could use more content, and some of the affection events should be repeatable through a gallery or using the rewind future. The game is pretty simple, and it has a somewhat fun gameplay loop. Definitely needs a proper ending though, nothing fancy, but just something other than being sent to the menu. Would also greatly appreciate a second Yuna footjob...
