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

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.

pretty fun, cute true ending
also hot
i like the gameplay as most of it can be automated* though the actual stuff you can/have to do is also not too bad, i just wish it were more onehandable

*you just send adventurers and grab quests in town

This game is exactly what a game should not be. It is fundamental bad game design, when what you want to achieve most as a player is punished towards a game over.

Slootting her up or not should be two different approaches of achieving the same end game goal being the survival of the guild and her job.

There should absolutely be a loss condition, but that should be about mismanaging the guild job assignments.

Other than the model being nice I really don't have anything good to say about the game, it is less than the sum of its parts.

Receptionist at the Bottom Tier Guild is a grindy experience in which the juice is not worth the squeeze.

• There's a diverse cast of named characters, but we learn very little about them even after intimate scenes.
• There are large maps, but very little content in each. The time spent walking around adds to the frustration from the grind.
• Even the H-content is lacking in this game and it actively discourages the player from doing lewd acts with reputational damage.

Overall, the experience is shallow and isn't worth the time it drains.

I believe a large portion of my disappointment comes from unmet expectations. We start in a small town with an empty adventurer's guild, a dilapidated church, and a tavern on the verge of shutting down due to insufficient business. There is so much that could've been done in the village, but the content is simply not there.

This game is average in content and above average in one personage sex scenes animations.

From good points are:
Clothing system (extremely poor but nonetheless)

Animates h-scenes (There aren’t much of those but still)

Some-what normal looking girl (Her bust size in levels of huge, but not “wth is dis balloon”)

Other grils exist too, but most of them have only 1 scene you have to go out of your way to get.



Now bad:
Grindy as hell. Most of your time is spent doing random shit that have no scenes or scenes on loss and you have to guess which ones do.

Reused scenes, the one h-scene variation you seen will be used on every occasion.

Just boring. You go from guild-home without being able to do much in the village.
Yes you could fuck some random mercs to get some money and see EXACT same scenes.
There is also walking in night nude possibility that is just empty and you need to do each night to get new variations of same scenes.


Machine TL. Its good, but not perfect.

TLDR: Mediocre, but somewhat okey. Gallery save and don’t bother playing. There isn’t much of a game here.

Game is a good idea that isn't well executed.

First, the plot is paper thin, like the characters. The town barely have anything to do, the guild administration is bare bones and super boring (the RNG is bullshit, so use gifts or seduction).

The combat is shit, you don't have skills, spells, different weapons, nothing.

About the porn, the girl is super hot but the corruption system is basically non existent, and while the scenes are very well draw, there is a severe lack of content and a lot of scenes are reused.

I think if you grab a better developer the final result would be way better.

A nice change of pace from generic RPGM scene collector.

basic gameplay loop revolves around assigning quests to an increasing cast of adventurers. You have 3 options while doing so: Persuade, Bribe, and Seduce. persuasion is the base chance for the adventurer to accept, which can be increased by either bribing (its pretty obvious what items go to who, and i dont think you even have the option of selecting the wrong one) or seducing. Seduction increases acceptance chance while lowering your rep and may later call in favors owed, which reduces your rep even further. you can just play the tease and that will FURTHER decrease your rep more so than if you just sucked a dick in the first place.

game would be a balancing act between keeping the reputation stable while trying to see as many scenes as you want without going to -100 (bad end)

decent variety of scenes and there is an unlock all switch after completing the game.

TLDR: Worth the few hours for a play thru

v1.10 completed.

this game is really extremely anti-fun to play, and bad porngame gameplay wise. first of all it's very grindy, second, it doesn't make sense.

if you play the game as intended and instructed then you will see 0 h-scenes with the heroine. 0. yes ZERO. there will only be 1 H-scene of an opponent enemy girl who gets gangbanged. that is the whole game for 2-3hours if you play it as it's instructed.

but ofc you play opposite of what's instructed and very badly and non logically, you can get some H-scenes. but it forces you to choose bad decisions willingly. it's just garbage game design.

why? because you can convince adventurers to do a quest, most of which has NO TIME LIMIT. now you can convince them by persuasion with a decent percentage, give them gifts (expensive) or seduce them... seduction reduces your reputation, successfully completing quests increases reputation...

there is literally 0 incentive to use seduction. if you use seduction and your reputation worsens, then your ability to persuade decreases too. so now you would feel reluctant to seduce anyone due to lowering reputation... plus which makes no sense as well is why would you seduce anyone when you have 50+% persuasion chance on everyone, and quests have no time limit so you can try to persuade every day, plus some adventurers have really high % for persuasion and success rate.

so you have to play the slut route to get low reputation and see that content... and that's another things where the game goes wrong again.. somehow you only get raped by thugs if you have low reputation... like lol, why would thugs care about your reputation before they rape you blindfolded. it makes no sense either.

so 0 incentives to logically choose the slut route but that is literally ALL THE CONTENT IN THE GAME.

gameplay: absolute trash. you have a crossbow and in RPGM engine you can shoot straight with it, not diagonally. and you have to kill mobs this way. sometimes slowly... very bad. to choose a battle mechanic on this engine this way is insane. if enemies are at a corner then good luck you cant hit them. rpgm movement was always awkward and author creates the whole battle system on it lol. whatever.

there are some scenes on losing against some enemies like orcs/goblins, but even that only when you fight solo, but you do so little damage(early on) that it's nearly always worth to get someone with you for more dmg, so then you won't get raped anyway. furthermore you would probably issue that quest to an adventurer anyway since YOU ARE A RECEPTIONIST! why would you get goblin/orc killing quests WHEN YOU ARE THE RECEPTIONIST. I REPEAT, YOU ARE THE RECEPTIONIST.


so i think the game is 0 fun to play. sure it has some voice, animated BUT censored sex scenes, relatively okayish heroine, sex scenes are not bad, but still the game makes no sense and it's 0 fun to play it, you have to actively sabotage yourself and play against every logic there is and adventure away as the receptionist to get raped.

edit: oh and of course a game of this caliber has no skip-message button.

just a bad game.
