Unity - Rumi Project [v.0.05] [Mato]

Played v0.5
Huge potential for this game, keep an eye on it.

Likes:
1. Animation variety at such an early stage, dev knows how to impress the target audience.
2. Solid worldbuilding start.
3. Good concept. Open world, character progression, and branching story paths feel natural for this game.

Dislikes:
1. Game has a grinding aspect, expected for an open world game, BUT there's not much explanation as to what I'm grinding for. For example, I didn't see the clothes shop until my second time playing, and I didn't know player can offer sex for free with enough "horny meter". A welcome surprise but not having any idea what I'm working for is what made me turn the game off early the first time.
2. The prison is a softlock and the prisoner's dialogue is an unfair tease considering the lack of content (unless I missed how to interact). The prison as a whole should be removed until it can be implemented with at least a way to leave/escape. (Lost a save thanks to this oversight, not a good pairing with the above point about grinding)
3. The default walking speed is mind-numbingly slow, the stamina drains too fast and recovers too slowly. Two of these three features should be changed.
4. Dropped clothes during sex scenes vanish sometimes, likely dropping inside a prop where it cannot be retrieved. Very unsatisfying especially since the clothes shop doesn't refresh.

5 star rating because even in an early stage, this shit turns me on damn good and I am looking forward to seeing more.

Played: v0.0.4

Still called a tech demo, this demo currently doesn't offer much more than basic mechanics.
You can walk, you can interact with objects and people, and you can see the first basic animations.

Currently, various flaws are particularly noticeable.
After a sex animation, it very often happens that a distant person is already marked as the next conversation target. It even feels like a person who is a good 50 meters away.
This makes targeted conversations impossible.

Clothing, such as the skirt, has various clipping errors, so that, for example, when kneeling, the legs cut through the skirt.

Once purchased, an item cannot be put down again. Once clicked, it is immediately considered a purchase. The fix for v0.0.4 therefore seems illogical to me.

Graphically, the game remains far below the engine's capabilities. I hope this will be improved.

The pregnant belly sinks into the ground during the rape scene.

Clothes are optionally dropped instead of being put back on after sex. This primarily happens with skirts.
Dropped items appear only as a small white dot, so expensive clothing on the floor can be easily overlooked.

Desirable:
- More equippable items (bones as a club) to have something handy in case of a robbery attempt.
- Likewise, a club could also deter potential rapists.
- More NPC actions, such as guards who react to begging attempts within sight, bargaining with merchants for discounts, etc.
- BDSM content, such as pillory, cross, or wooden horse.
- Rebalancing hunger. Currently, exploring the urban surroundings would hardly be possible, as food would be consumed too quickly.
- Day & night cycle with different encounters.
This could lead to more drunks around at night, which could make robberies easier, but could also provoke unpleasant reactions.
Guards could be more lenient at night and more open to favors.
- Reputation status with individual NPCs. For example, a guard was served for free, so they'll remember this the next time they encounter him.

And very important: A plausible story with diverse paths, goals, and good and bad endings.
Currently, you've seen everything in 15 minutes of gameplay, and I currently only see potential for about an hour of replay time, which is also related to the fact that the available food is limited.

It's difficult to give this demo a fair rating at the moment. Therefore, it will probably be a neutral rating with a bonus point for its potential, and the idea of avoiding a loss of motivation due to an overly negative rating.

(0.2) really like this initial release, there's not much to do here yet of course but what you can do is pretty fun.
the animations are good and enjoyable.
the concept is fun, it remind me of LonaRPG but with out so much extreme content.
and i really appreciate how transparent the dev is being with their updates, its a green flag that i like
if you're curious about the game its short rn so you can get everything done in minutes, if you want something meatier i'd wait a few updates and see how it is then. but it's a great start so far

I am not just doing this for shitting on the game. I see major flaws here.

- I don't see much of anything existing here. Its like giving unity basics demo. things like this can be done in a very small time.

- Even if I see this continuing, this will develop into a depressing game , which won't be pleasing. I can easily see the survival aspect dominating the sexual aspect of the game, which will just make this a survival game rather than a sex game. Which is true for all beggars , their life is not interesting.
now, there are ways to solve this like make her progress into not being a beggar , which would just kill the survival aspect , which is the only concept being presented.

In short , I don't think this game is well thought out. I think it needs more time on the board.

Fucking awesome first release. Obviously it's still quite empty, but the potential on this one is extremely high! Some work and it's gonna be real good, trust me.

At the current state the game needs more, but I love her model already, she's quite hot. Good luck on this one mate.

A great game with a great future and great potential. It looks simple, but once you refine it, the game will be just great. Add ENT, more descriptions, more locations - and this stent game is just candy. Unfortunately, I can't support it on Patreon, but I'll keep an eye on updates.

This 5/5 is based on the Tech Demo only.
This is an incredibly strong solid start for a tech demo. Only complaint I have is the mouse sensitivity but that is adjustable. Considering this is a 0.0.0 build, very impressive and has a ton of potential.
