RPGM - Completed - Receptionist at the Bottom Tier Guild [v1.10] [eChime]

A little too short for lacking much substance. When you beat the game you gain access to the full gallery and I found out that my standard playthrough had managed to skip almost every sex scene.

The gameplay itself was decently fun just felt way too easy and I was on the hard difficulty. There's like 5 maps, every single one plays the same, you have unlimited money with no consequences by just doing the fishing for a couple minutes every time you unlock a new area, the gifts/seduce mechanic is also just kinda lackluster, you're punished for using the seduce option and not really rewarded in any interesting way for it, and the gifts basically just skip the time wasted if you lose the dice roll for the standard ask for help.

The scenes are also way too generic for me, like all these scenes are in every single hentai RPG, but there's nothing actually unique to this one unlike others where they stand out in some way. And since the sex has no purpose mechanically really aside from getting you the bad ending it just doesn't really work for me. I think you could unironically get a no sexual content playthrough of the game by just going for good ending and ignoring NPCs who don't have a quest indicator. Also got repeated scenes with a few NPCs that I found out had more than 1 possible scene which made it less interesting too.

The main reason it's 2 stars and not 1 is that it wasn't actively bad and the gallery was good enough when I just used the scene viewer post game. If you want to play the 5 star version of this game just go try Niplheim's Hunter - Branded Azel, very similar in vibe and has a similar style to the fetish of this game, being like the sex for favors in an RPG world. And that game has sex based combat, constant scenes, scenes that are at least a little more on the unique side than this game. Hard to take this one seriously when it's kinda just worse than an already great version of the same game I played a while ago.

Overall honestly it's not awful or anything but it's definitely sub par, if you want a decent generic porn game you haven't played before you'll probably have a decent time, just don't expect this to be among the greats

Great game as far as hentai game goes.

STORY 3/5
While concept of playing as an receptionist is an original one, the story itself is linear, unsurprising and simple. Simply a background for all the smut. It's not a bad but if someone looks for little more then this game isn't for them.

GRAPHIC 4/5
Really, even through this is 2D and the animations are only pseudo-animations(only part of the picture is "animated") the style and presentation is both great and hot. One can see it's made by amateur, but one that loved his work and put heart and soul into it. But don't expect a professionally made animations - this isn't this kind of work.

CHARACTERS 3/5
The MC is great and can be played as prude, practical village girl, a mature woman who enjoys smut or as a total s*ut. Prostitution is treated more like it probably would be treated in such fantasy world - as a thing that a practical woman would dabble in if she needed a quick money. But side heroines are flat as sheet of paper - they have only rough outline of personality and, aside from MC's rival, barely any screen time at all. I'm not going to even mention h-scene with them - two of female heroines' h-scenes lock us out from them, only the third one join us after getting sumt.
Males are boring as square - the "sweet childhood friend new adventurer", the "experienced adventurer drunkard with unknown connection to MC" and the "noble knight with BDSM kink".

SMUT 3/5
Smut is great but it's mainly MC. This game would really gain a lot if our female companions would join us and become playable characters through the game. Each side heroine has exactly one h-scene and each male companion has 2 h-scene with MC and only with her. 3 side heroine and 3 male companion - such a wasted potential...
There's no battle sex and even defeat scenes are very few.
Forced h-scene are good but as with everything there's maybe 7 of them in total(not counting defeat scenes), are quite generic and half of them are foreplay.

GAMEPLAY 2/5
Boring, repetitive and rough around the edge. Around a half of the game exploration become more of the chore and didn't rewarded player in any way. Aiming with crossbow is tiresome as is switching among the tools. You collect materials only to find out that they're useless outside of single quest and just junk for sale. Rating of the success in completion of given task for the adventurer is never explained.
Corruption system doesn't even exist here in true form - max Lewdness can be gained in the span of two in game days and reputation system is only a hindrance for the most part as it locks you out from certain events and characters.

All in all, the game had huge potential and an author had great concept, but implementation ruined it.

The main character is beautiful, the game has nice sound and visual representation (animations are hot). However, the list of actions is incredibly limited. There is a sense of unrealized potential after after it ends.

The whole scenario is doomed and set to fail, it's the complete antithesis to what management strive in that regard.
Honestly making it as a RPGgame and not interactive visual novel is just a bad choice of engine implementation in my opinion.

Since the story is about good person fall to their grace, the eventual decline of reputation is quite novel, but since it's about her and not the guild itself the story fall into how you label someone instead of how corrupt business can be made it lessen the stakes, so for why she kept going and not close it down is a complete mystery to me.

Pretty mid. Rather short. Could have done without the questing yourself part and more options in the guild or something instead.

Gameplay
Convince the adventurers in your guild to do quests. You can either just ask them, bribe them or seduce them.
Since this is an H game you would assume that you get lots of incentives to turn into a slut. Problem is, that is just the worst option here:

• Just asking nicely might have a big failure chance at times, but since there is no time limit or anything, you can just ask again on the next day with no penalty.
• Bribing costs money. You can get a lot of that by working as a whore.
  Or you can just do the occasional quest yourself. That isn't super interesting but it is at least streamlined enough that you can get it done quickly.
• Every time you seduce someone, your reputation takes a hit. That lowers your success rates with just asking and triggers some bad events if you go below certain thresholds. Every adventurer you seduce also expects sex from you which tanks your reputation further. There also just two ways to reliably raise your reputation. Both are boring and you can only do them once a day.

H
The scenes look nice and there are quite a few of them. There is prostitution, bad ends and events with named adventurers. Some are pretty specific with how to trigger them but the gallery tells you unlock each scene. There are also slight variations in facial expression or text depending on your lewdness level.

This game has great animation quality and game structure, it really would have been better if the game had even more h-content, such as exploring even more cities and having more characters with scenes as well.

The premise of being a guild receptionist is cool, and would have been fun in a better game. Honestly this game is pretty mid with ok quality scenes, though i ended up getting the normal ending out of nowhere, completely un-telegraphed that the game was about to end after completing the slime subjugation with not enough reputation score.

Can't really recommend though, and I'm not willing to run through again for the good ending, even if the game is short.

Honestly an excellent game. Making the protagonist the guild's receptionist concerned with the fate of her viollage but unable to fix it directly and requiring help (that needs persuading through questionable means) was an inspired choice.

And so was making the protagonist willing from the start. Sure, she's down for sex acts very quickly. But these sex acts have consequences for her social life within the village. The barrier towards slutting out completely isn't an artificial game stat, it's the inhabitants' reactions to the protagonist. Act like a whore, get treated like a whore.

This is, in fact, what I'm missing in almost all RPGM games. That it's ultimately the player's choice based on in-game social rewards and penalties, with minimal stat barriers either way. Very few games implement this.

This one, however, did, and it works exactly like it's supposed to be.

There are, admittedly, some awkward controls when outside town and actually fighting. But at the end of the day, that's not the focus of the game and thus easily forgiven. For that matter, while the controls are awkward, combat is nevertheless more smoothly integrated than the usual RPGM fare. No, it isn't great, but neither is it a distraction. It's there, partially to give the protagonist an additional foil (want to be punished for your carelessness by an off-screen defloration? The game has you covered), it's fine.

I suppose it was a bit weird that the protagonist complained about losing her virginity to a rapist... AFTER already being deflowered while unconscious in the wilderness and AFTER vaginal penetration during prostitution, on run three, but, whatever. Maybe she's got a chrome steel hymen. Who knows?

It's a good game. Nothing spectacular but actually a game. Not your classic RPGM game. You walk around and shot the enemies instead of it being turn-based.

Art is good, I liked it though I have saw better- I'd give it 4/5 coz I liked the girl.

Scene are good as well and it was fun finding them all. There are multiple endings. And you can do virgin run without much trouble.

And so you don't need to look for it when you play:

The plot is weak, and the corruption is not fleshed out. But GODDAMN the scenes are 10/10. Probably the best I've seen for one of these Rpgm H game. Not only is the art fantastic, but it's animated very fluidly. It's a shame it's so short, though I understand it's quality over quantity.

Without the art though, this game is as plain and barebones as it gets. HEAVILY carried by the art.

>This mf'er is what I do expect from Japan.
>You get what you deserve and what you needed for your dick.
>Cool gameplay ideas as you progress thru it develops much more.
>Cool RPGM shitmess gameplay style.
>Coll cg and artstyle.

Pros:
Hot Mc
Interesting Premise, managing the guild and also being able to go out yourself
Animated scenes
Nice art styles
Cons:
Kinda on the short side
Hard to unlock naturally the scenes with female side chars (like very specific conditions)
There wasn't that much of a challenge (on hard difficulty).

Like if the game had more depth with like managing the finances of the guild like negotiating payouts having guards efforcing said negotiated paytouys and said gaurds take advantage of mc based on reputation etc. + i dont like games that the lewd path implies that you are doing bad.

TL: DR I really enjoyed this game and is 100% worth a shot for everyone.

+++ Interesting & fun premise, managing adventurers whilst still occasionally going out yourself adventuring
+ Pretty good art
+ Virgin difference, lewdness difference, add some depth to the sex scenes
+ The main characters are pretty interesting, although still need more content

- Dogshit RPGMaker combat & overall gameplay, passable, but a better engine would be nice
- Too short, there should be S-rank but I don't think we reached that by the end of the game
- Need moar sex scenes for other characters (it's a sin there's only 1 for the big booby nun)

Overall a 7/10

The art is pretty nice, but that's all.
The corruption is very bland and feel incomplete.
There're too few scenes for how long the game is, meaning you're bound to repeat them often.
The way it's designed, it's like the game wants you to go into NG+, because if you go full slut (and this is a porn game, so that's to be expected, right?), you get a game over, and then the NG+ unlocks a shop that sells items to offset the loss of reputation.
Overall, this game is something that's just... there. It doesn't have much to say about. Maybe good for a quick fap, but that's it.

not much to say.

but what i will say is this. if you enjoyed my summer vacation 1 and 2, it has the same engine.

its got anal only thats a plus

it has fun but a simple gameplay premise, similar to imperial gatekeeper.


however, the biggest downfall is the fact the game is over with so fast. probably got a couple hours at most before i reached an end.

worth the play though

Weak and short game, limited amount of scenes, I think around 15, a lot of recycling/reusing same cgi.

There is unavoidable rape event that happens once reputation falls below -50 or something like that.

Gameover when reputation reaches negative 100. Not much content overall, and kind of bland.

The overall setting idea, of a reception lady that lures and promotes quests with H activities is good, but the realization of this idea is questionable at best.

Good art, decent animations, unique gameplay (might get repetitive though), unique setting (guild receptionist). But the game is too short in order to fully realize the potential of the gameplay/setting. The game has some questionable game designs though (RNG quest completion, higher difficulty= higher RNG), RNG quest acceptance of adventurers (can be remedied by Gifts/seduce). Great AI MTL (almost indistinguishable from manual translation). Overall pretty alright H game, the setting is light hearted adventurer type of setting. Hoping for a decent sequel which improves on this game's features.

Can't load from the menu, the village is lacking events, arbitrary barriers, and got softlocked at the slime quest because one of those arbitrary barriers failed to clear when it was supposed to. Somebody posted about a debug item, which also doesn't get past the lock.

Pretty good actually. I missed more than half the content on purpose, because I'm not interested in those.

Usually I put my own brain to work while playing hentai games because if I had to finish the job with the usual static image or whats sadly also the usual average sex animation, I wouldn't finish. This game does that part pretty well, I specially like the fellatio animation.

You can easily miss a lot of content, and the game is not too long. Once you finish it once (I read everything), speedrunning it is ok. There's a lot of potential in this idea, quite a few improvements I can think myself, but I doubt they will update the game.

This game is disappointing in a much truer sense than just a bad game.

The art is beautiful, and they introduce lots of interesting characters. There's standing animation and options to wear less clothing. So you'd think it's pretty much painting by numbers at this point and would be a hit.

Unfortunately, while the art is nice, the animation of it is dogshit. Those interesting characters get 1 scene a piece and you will very likely never get to see it because the specific lose-state you need for them is specific to them and no one else. The clothing, as well as the flirting behind the desk could have been a fantastic opportunity for some exhibitionist play or decent corruption, but instead it's just 3 options that hurt your popularity (paradoxically) and convinces the men to do something you probably didn't need to convince them to do if you vet them even a little. Instead you can speed into 100% Lewd rating and then just more or less accidentally stumble through the rest of the game, passing out quests because nothing else seems to be getting a new event.

Only reason I'm not rating it a 1 is because I like the art that much.
