Review of ver. 0.1.4 after playing through the entirety of the first biome, as that is currently the only area available in this version.
To start off, the aesthetics are great. If you want the gothic horror vibe of carefully and somewhat fearfully treading a tomb full of gribblies who want you dead or worse with only your skills and allies to ward them off, you've got yourself a good time.
If you come here looking for quick lewds or a casual romp...keep looking.
Remember what I said about the aesthetics, and how they lend well to the dark horror vibe? Well, that also lends to the same problem that a lot of this genre suffers. A lack of conveyance and big "where the f*** do I go?" energy. Draw yourself a map if you plan to play this game, and ESPECIALLY if you're trying to hunt for content like treasure and party members. There's no fast-travel between safe rooms or anything, so you WILL end up backtracking.
If there's any upside, they at least marked the locations of safe rooms where you can heal, and cage rooms where you can try to rescue allies.
The primary lewd content comes from either letting your party members get captured or getting a bad end. The former means deliberately jobbing on battles since there's no instant-KO item or skill, then fumbling around the dungeon for a cage and praying to RNGesus that you can find your captive ally while working with a reduced team size. The latter involves extended game overs of varying levels of titillation, and a goodly chunk of them all loop back into an extended post-defeat-epilogue where the big bad enslaves the party. That's also assuming that the bad end in question actually involves any lewds, and isn't just the gribblies straight-up (though bloodlessly) murking the main character.
The furry part is neither a hit or miss with me. It's kinda just there, though I get that some people love it, and some will refuse to touch anything that has so much as a hint of fur. I'm just saying that for me at least, it has no bearing on my review.
Also, be aware that this game IS a work-in-progress. There will be a number of features and other things that will tell you "whoops this isn't done yet. Come back later." So if you plan to stick around, at least keep those saves.
Tl;dr, if you're into the whole spooky vibe and BDSM, you'll like this. If you were hoping for a casual romp, or some quick fap material, look for something else. If you're not a fan of furries, or death, or fumbling around to figure out where the f*** you go, look for something else. Just keep in mind that this is just the first area in a WIP game. Things may get better or worse, only time will tell.
