RPGM - Reid & Juno in Nouridge City [v0.7] [Imisx]

[v0.7]

I'm still playing through, but this one is a mixed bag. The actual writing and story progression seems to be pretty good. Other reviewers can tell you the good things about it.

For me, there were several factors that detracted from the experience that it hasn't completely hooked me yet despite not having any qualms about the writing (which is my biggest criteria in most cases).

First, I don't think this is a good implementation of RPGM. We are just walking for the sake of walking. Sure, we could say there is some minimal immersion factor where it simulates distance and travel, but that's an extremely minor effect. We are just walking from A to B at any given time.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't just blindly hate RPGM. There are RPGM games that make full use of the free roaming. Even if the progression point is limited to one specific spot, there can be interesting things along the way and in off beat paths. There can be random NPCs that have things to say, NPCs subplots on the maps. The map being used to paint a story of corruption and decadence. Alas, this game has empty maps with literally nothing happening except as an expanse to be crossed.

The second big issue I had was the animations. It's absolutely awful animation that you cannot skip. There is no dialogues happening during this ~10 second animation loop, and you cannot advance until it finishes. God forbid if you accidentally push Yes when it asks you if you want to view it again.

The last issue I had was that these are clearly Asian characters in appearance, yet their names are like Mercer, Donovan, etc. Obviously, Honey Select 2 is going to default to these Asian features, and the dev doesn't have the skills or desire to try and morph them sufficiently. And regardless of the names not fitting the ethnicity, the models just don't look that great compared to games with better HS2 visuals.

I'm still interested in playing through and doing the NTR routes, but the issues I mentioned above prevented me from getting truly hooked and my desire to play was decreased. It would be a slog that I will have to wade through for the promise of something that I think might be pretty good.

Edit: And while it's a common issue with RPGM games, this one also lacks common QoL features like skip, message log, saving before choices.

How great is that? A game that tells a story first and foremost without completely catering to a specific kink?

I love how unapologetically the Dev tells the story they want. I love that it can always be dark but doesn't need to be. It feels like you are actually shaping the MCs destiny without being smothered by plot armor.

This is a great game. It is not an NTR game or a Corruption game or an Incest Love story.
But it can be all of those if you want.

I wish more devs had the courage to make games like this.

Amazing game with really good scenes and great writing
Female protag's corruption has a good pace and sensible reactions
Scenes are well done and doesn't take an eternity to show good impactful scenes

Recommend for NTR fans and Incest fans as well

Came to just to review this wonderful NTR game. Want to see more of juno. Developer did a good job at keeping choices even though I like NTR but those don't like they have option to avoid NTR in the game and I like that.

Also the thread here in f95zone is also amazing and helpful.

All the best lmisx. ❤

With amazing animations and well written characters (at least for a porn game), this game stands out from the rest of the F95 crowd and sets the bar high making me (and I'm guessing others) always excited when it is released.

A great drama, with a plot worthy of a movie. A young policeman, like in the movies, but more realistic - he does not run around waving a gun, he runs around and questions witnesses, as befits a young energetic cop. He and his sister are faced with the cruel and ruthless face of the Big City. Will they be able to pass this test without losses and what else will they have to sacrifice? We are waiting for the continuation...

I know I know it’s RGPM… So you have all you dislike about RGPM without any combat.

BUT the story about drug is something, I love the Juno part struggling with drug addiction, here brother, mother…

The brother cop part is not interesting at all, at this stage a female protagonist game on Juno with a deep story with all caracter and her struggling with pain drug would be amazing.

The sex scene without a “connection” with protagonist or a special context are just… sex scene… I mean when Juno accept a BJ instead or paying with here brother money : ++++ the scene of the girl the brother is looking to understand the murder is +, nothing particular with this whore, too easy to obtain nothing unusual for a porn game.

I think you get the idea BUT taking into account this game has a refreshing story and I wan more of Juno I support this game !

Right now [v0.2.5] the game has very little to offer. The lewd scenes are kinda shoehorned in with side characters that are not interesting, and the scenes are not that hot anyway. I played through the whole version hoping for some action between Reid and Juno, but there's basically nothing so far.

This is actually the first AVN I've played made in RPGM. It's interesting at first seeing pixel art and being able to explore, but ultimately I think it's more of a drawback. The game is missing basic AVN quality-of-life features like going backwards, saving whenever you want, and skipping text/animations. The RPGM aspect eventually seems pointless too as there's a lot of needless clicking. There has been no turn-based-fighting at all, so will half of the menus even be necessary in the end?

I was interested in incest but there is nothing right now and it looks like slow incest burn a terrible decision considering how male mc doesn't get any scenes with anyone else at least right now it's either some main story scenes showing some plot related nympho doing prostituation or druggie sister sluting herself with other men. Literally one of the worst "everything is optional" because we're going to end up with like 10-15% of the total scenes in the non-NTR route, and this game is designed as a linear story. If we decline the NTR events, we literally end up with a ton of story, no scenes, and sister gameplay that offers nothing because we refused 99% of her gameplay content, the 1% being brother-related. The game is very early in development, but there is quite little doubt in me about the main focus and future amount of scenes between NTR and non-NTR.

10/10 Game, Keep it going! Has a lot to offer for sure!
Good story and renders! Well developed and without bugs!
Hopefully will keep going getting updated, It is an amazing game!

I like a lot the way the story were going, showing different point of views and knowing what is going to happened next just by intuition!


Thanks for the work!

stellar rpgm ntr game, its genuinely impressive how it manages to make such a quality and interesting mystery crime thriller in an NTR porn game. there are things that fall flat: gameplay and presentation are extremely basic, (the gameplay is essentialy walking around the city trying to find the right place to go, and the renders (although i love all the designs) are kinda low quality, so it feels kinda cheap (even though the story proves that wrong). a great game with a great story that could benefit from being a VN instead of a rpgm game, but was nonetheless a great time

Excellent game for those who like blackmail, forced sex and corruption.beautiful videos with sex scenes and good action.Corruption in this game is the dominant event and it is exceptional.The train scenes are exceptional, as are the scenes at mom's house.I'm anxiously awaiting the next update, I love this game.

I hope you continue to improve the game, bro. First of all, the characters look very good and we have a very beautiful main character. This is pretty good. Then the map, the transportation lines (the scenes here), the decorations of the apartments, I think everything is great. If you continue to develop it like this, it seems like the story will be very good. I'm waiting for new updates without too much delay. Good luck bro <3

For a start it keeps the places and with updated gameplay and story from the first one. Since its really early i cant say i spotted any negatives. No bugs , decent story to begin . Other than that if the developer keeps it up like this it would be a fine addition to his collection of games.
