RPGM - Completed - Serafina and the Key to the Egg [v1.02] [Hasoyua / Kagura Games]

The combat and skill trees are decent. I never felt like triggering scenes was too far apart and this isn't a game that only gives you scenes when you lose. The consequences for losing on purpose for more scenes aren't too harsh.

The art is great and the scenes have variety for when you still have your virgin status or when Serafina gets preg.

I like that strategy and gear is required for the arena fights.

This isn't a perfect RPG by any means but the gameplay and H balance was great IMO. If you like the preview images at all, I think you can safely play this one without feeling like you wasted your time. Try to do a virgin run on Normal mode for as long as you can. It will feel more rewarding that way.

Turnbased combat RPG Game, with mid battlefuck, H-events.
Another game from Hasoyua, this game's also aligned with the same universe as the other games.
Unlike other Hasoyua's games, this one is a dungeon like game, where you moves from the selection menu.
The game has the corruption system, that includes virgin status, corruption level, and H-counter.
Spoiler alert, the virgin play isn't possible but it's ok.
Just like other Hasoyua's works battlefuck mechanic, There is a clothing damage, the enemy can damage your clothes, do H-Attack, and sometimes restrain you.

I beat this game over the summer, but haven't had time to post a lot of the games I beat. This was a game I was hyped for but was disappointed overall.

Pros:

• After day 10, you have more freedom to earn the money needed. However, the game still makes you compete in the area in order to advance the next part of the story.
• The majority of enemies don’t have that much HP. It’s about picking the right moves and managing your items to avoid the worse case scenario.
• Battle fuck
• Hentai scenes outside of losing
• Great artwork
• Character cameos from other games showing the aftermath of their stories (specifically Miss Lissette)

Cons:

• Too much RNG is given during the quests. Dogs hate me in real life and I don’t like being reminded in game either how the dog keeps biting me no matter what I did.
• The stamina system is awful. If you have bad RNG, Serafina will run out of stamina and will start using HP. You have to keep healing in order to not die and that breaks the pace.
• Two of the three special missions kill your virgin run. It’s not fair how the tentacle/hypno mission involves RNG. If you are unlucky, you simply lose your virginity and can’t do anything about it. And these are unavoidable sex scenes.
• The story is a mess. You’re supposed to play the other games made by Hasoyua. Otherwise, it feels like we’re left out of half the plot. Serafina is only focusing on one thing and that’s getting the Key of Egg back from the audition. But while she’s doing that, we’re learning about how witches are burned at the stake with no lore behind that or why her village hides away from the world. We don’t know what is going on with the church. We don’t know the politics concerning Mina when she shows up and don’t know her relationship with the church. The helpful knight Tori has her own mission that doesn’t pertain to Serafina and then there’s another spy who doesn’t say anything but is working behind the scenes. If I have to play the other three games just to understand what’s going on, then it’s pretty bad. (I did and everything makes more sense now but it should never be this bad).
• You won’t even get half the skills the game shows you by the time you beat the game. You have to decide what you spend your points on and hope you didn’t mess up. Depending on your playstyle determines what is needed but some skills are better than others.
• Half the hentai scenes are locked behind a high lewd level. The more lewd you are, the more money you make, but it requires grinding and losing. You are on a time limit, so you can’t afford to be messing up.
• A virgin run doesn’t change the story and you’re encouraged to lose it to earn money and easy skill points, but Serafina isn’t interested in sex compared to her kohei.

I feel like the other three games were way more story driven that this game was a disappointment in comparison. But I'm the odd one out since its about the h scenes. Still, I hope the next game in the series will be better with connecting the lore.

scoring this a terrible 1.

don't waste your time like I did. the experience is awful. and I even played this on easy mode (2x exp and money) thinking that I don't wanna grind yet another rpgm game. at this point I'm just here for the story.

and story you won't get any of. I mean it's fine if there's no story, but what's with the entirely pointless addition of the church, holy church, meena, the government when those things have absolutely nothing to the main story? here I'm thinking there's gonna be some delicious worldbuilding but that was entirely thrown out the window. when you reach day 80, you defeat the boss, followed with a generic ending that you have probably seen a thousand times.

actually like this game , it remind me of Princess Sacrifice -Adventure of Feena , you can find the game on here as well , wonderful game with good art and plot . This game doesnt abuse the RPG maker basic map making, there already thousand of it on this site and 99% is just cheap cash grap with decent art . This is a board game stat base like, you dont run around like idiot but using menu for action with random change base on stat
Story is actually good, it finally link all their previous games plot and nearly all of the previous character makes a return here . the plot is well connected and make more sense if you play all of Hasoyua game so i recommend you to play at least the last 3 which also released by Kagura , you can find on this site as well
Huge down side of this game is that it too barebone , everything is extremally basic, the pace is dragged so long and the objective is really simple , there are no alternative objective /milestone what so ever , only 2 ending : win or lost . There UI is horrible like exel menu . Grinding is friendly since you have task tier but that is a lot of grind .

4/5 if you ever play Princess Sacrifice and other Hasoyua game for the plot

It's pretty middling, to be honest.

The main problem is that it's a defeat rape-type game (which might be the end of this sentence for some) that penalizes you with corruptive, lewd debuffs as the PC gets more depraved, as usual. But. Despite these debuffs, there are gatekeeping, actual fights that are mandatory to progress, with one of them actively penalizing lewd characters. Setting up for these fights is literally half the game, so before that it's quite a bit of time grinding up experience in dungeon forays until you can do it. All other work in town just gives you money for equipment, which is decidedly not enough.

It's a weird choice for a porn game.

Relatedly, the game uniquely doesn't have any map-based gameplay, it's all dialog and various menus. Dungeon runs are abstracted through progressing in random mini-events, which might be fights. This is actually decidedly a good thing in comparison to a lot of empty, samey dungeon hallways, but given the entire game basically involves running through menus...

It's not bad. It's not good.

The pacing of this game is horrible. While it starts out interesting, the midgame around Day 12-40 has absolutely nothing happen whatsoever. The game takes place over an 80 day period, and it truly feels like the developer was stretching content as far as possible. The game could have been shortened to a 30 day period and it would have been significantly better.

To live in the big city as a foreigner you need a permit. Your will only last until Day 10, so your central focus is extending your permit and gaining access to the deep interior of the city where the Key of Egg is being sold. But rather than leave this open ended like an RPG should be, the game is written like a visual novel that holds your hand through every single event with scripted scenarios related to extended your permit. So rather than finding out how to do so on your own, everything is spoon-fed to you.

Serafina is a pretty boring character. It would honestly be difficult to name any distinct personality traits beyond wanderlust. A weak protagonist really kills the player's attachment to the story. And the hour in between every plot point makes this a real chore to endure.

Due to the 80 day countdown throughout the game, players are discouraged from goofing off or exploring at their leisure. You should basically come into the game planning to be pure or whorish because there is no time to goof off with both actions.

Rather than a free-roaming open-world adventure game, Key of Egg focuses on a completely randomized and auto-generated event system. Select "Forward" to advance. This consumes HP and Stamina. Every time you go forward you'll either find an enemy, an item, or a stat-changing event. For example, a poisonous flower. I hate RNG as a substitute for game design.

It feels so linear it may as well be a visual novel. You either prioritize level ups, or whoring yourself. Being a whore involves raising lewdness and charm. Since these two methods of progression are completely separate and you're on a timer, you're basically forced to choose one way or the other.

There is no cooldown timer to being grabbed during battle, so you may lose your turn three times in a row due to poor design. Being groped raises your chance of orgasm and this carries over between battles. This means, you might orgasm at the start of a battle since arousal never cools down. And an orgasm means you're effectively dead, which is incredibly infuriating.

Just as explorations are 100% RNG, so too are battles. More than once I got 1-shot by an enemy I'd beaten thousands of times before. Usually because agility means nothing and enemies occasionally speed-blitz you even when you're a high level.

Outside of combat, the core game design is weak as well. Going out exploring the world will earn you less money and experience than simply fighting the same arena contestant 20 times. And the arena isn't even fun because of how stupid the battles are. Like the mage, you have to guard his attacks 10 times in a row in order to defeat him. That's not creative battling, that's just repetitive!

There are no character sprites or free roam mechanics, the entire game is played via menus. Feel free to use your mouse or the standard arrow keys to navigate menus. Only one standing artwork is ever displayed at a time, and varied expressions are minimal. Some CGs like the leg spread image are reused upwards of 5 times. Due to the lack of character sprites and free-roam mechanics, the sex scenes and background images are the only aspects of the game with any individuality, and they're a mixed bag.

Players determine whether or not Serafina is a virgin and how corrupted she becomes. Playing pure is very boring, and its clear the developer intends for you to prostitute yourself and become a whore.

Sex is usually missionary and cowgirl. Erotic dialogue is generally very limited and usually focuses on explaining what's happening, "she opens her legs", rather than meaningful dialogue to enhance the scenes.

Most sex scenes felt like a step along the road, rather than the culmination of tangible buildup. Like, you literally get drunk and wake up with a dick inside you. Rather than establish arousal that leads into sex, the scenes in this game usually felt like things that just happened. Especially because of the numerous defeat-sex scenarios.

CONCLUSION
I know the Kagura shills are out in force as always, but I stand firm in saying this game is overrated as heck. Even if you ignore all the flaws I named above, the game is simply, boring. Without a strong story or interesting gameplay mechanics, all you have left is the art. And only a handful of the scenes are actually hot, while the rest are abrupt and verbose; the two worst things a sex scene can be. I want buildup and natural dialogue!

I do not recommend this game at all.

A very enjoyable experience. I can't think of another Hgame that handled this kind of concept and executed it as well. Everything feels refined and well-balanced, with a leveling concept that encourages you to find new scenes while also carefully considering what skills you want to unlock before others. I really enjoyed this one, and only had tiny issues I don't think hinder the overall experience too heavily.

Pros

- Art looks fantastic

- Nice variety of scenes that aren't too difficult to obtain.

- Combat and stat/skill management is engaging without being too complicated

- Main character is very likeable.

- Game doesn't take too long to complete, but also doesn't feel unfinished in any way.

Cons

- UI and learning how to navigate can be tricky at first, but it is intuitive enough to learn relatively quickly.

- Many types of enemies reuse in-battle H scenes. There are essentially 3 different kinds (Tentacle, Slime, Bandit, Goblin). There are plenty of HUB h-scenes to compensate, however.

- There are some areas in the HUB areas that are solely NPCs with a single sentence of text. Nothing really to interact with other than that. (Most areas contain useful services and scenes, but there are a few that do not)


Neutral

- If you are interested in pregnancy it can be repeated, but it can only happen with tentacles, slimes, or goblins. H-scenes in the HUB cannot make the MC pregnant.

- There is a New Game + and a Post-game mode that allows you to get scenes you did not during your original playthrough.

If you're looking for a scene hunting game and screw the story then... this must be for you.

Story: Wait there is a story ???? The story actually is just be there because... it serves no purpose. The story is really simple and straight forward which requires zero brain cell to understand. So... i won't talk about it.

Gameplay: Because this game is mainly about hunting cg so most of the time your choices will lead to a H-scene. There's a corruption mechanic but the ending won't change no matter how high or low the lewd bar is. That's why you can freely lewd our MC without worrying about any consequence. Another shining point is that this game works kinda similar to Lilitales or any games like that, which is instead of moving around from map to map, you will be given a bunch of location and options to get there. This makes you save a lot of time and... spend that for more CG time.

CG: Really good and quite depends on your fetish. There are enough tags for you, from rape, tentacle to mind control and many more, so you might find your cup of tea in this. Also because this game is all about watching H-scenes so if you are not quite into the MC, who 99% will be the one in your H-scene, you will find this game really boring and tasteless.

Anyway, this is a really fun and enjoyable game as long as you're into the MC looking and have zero care about the story. There's no grinding in this game so you can freely play without worrying about that, just don't foolishly fight or do any over level missions.

HAVE A NICE DAY

RPGM H-Games broadly fall into two categories - there's the GOR variety which incentivizes losing to view scenes, and the scene collector variety which involves walking around an annoying map and picking your scene of choice. The only real gameplay in these walking simulators is some weird money mechanic which requires you to grind time, walking around clicking "do job" to earn money to buy some outfit or other material to access more scenes. Neither category really does it for me as neither allows gameplay for gameplay's sake. The titles are glorified VNs. I prefer games that want me to play a game to win, with elements that allow for both battle-fuck sequences but also intentional/unintentional scenes outside of combat. In that sense, Key of Egg hits the mark right on the head. Making for some fascinating battles and some great out-of-combat H-experiences.

The story in H-Games is merely a placeholder so I never focus too much on it. There's usually a big baddie or some villainous cohort doing villainous stuff and its our hero(ine) who has to stop them. What matters is that the story serves as a semi-realistic backdrop for smutty events to transpire. Key of Egg does this acceptably - some Macguffin has been stolen and it needs to be recovered. Meh. Whatever.

Where the game shines, however, is a fairly novel approach to RPGM. Whereas most games give the player a large map to traverse, most of which is empty and lifeless and 90% of encounters serve no purpose, KoE does away with these superfluous trappings. Instead, you get a list of locations on the side of your screen and a list of people you can interact with in each location. While this does take away the joys of exploring and finding sneaky treasure hidden away, it does save a lot of time of walking around aimlessly and covering large distances.

Quests are organized similarly. Instead of travelling to locations and walking around, you move forward based on your HP and Stamina and each quest has unique encounters, buffs, debuffs and battles based on this. I found it a refreshing break from the usual humdrum RPGM walk-a-thon.

The best aspect of the game is combat. No, not combat combat but the battle-fuck system. Enemies can do regular attacks but the sexual attacks are more entertaining. There is repetition in the images of sexual attacks but it's all right. If clothes are damaged beyond a certain point, the enemies can restrain the protagonist and have their way with her. I liked the implementation here. Instead of getting a game over on defeat, you're either captured and more smut ensues or you get the chance to start over slightly before the battle but you keep the sexual stats (which are important because you can use them to upgrade abilities). All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the addition to the run-of-the-mill RPGM combat.

The H-Scenes are all exquisitely drawn. I'm not a big fan of massive badonkadonks but the artstyle is cute enough to make it work. There's a variety of content and different kinks on display here and it's all exciting to witness, running the gamut from shota to tentacles.

There are drawbacks, there always are. I wished we had a more robust clothing system. I wish there was more variety in attack images. The game could definitely be improved. If this was a serious review, I'd deduct a few points but the bar for H-Games is so low that anything that doesn't suck and is exciting enough to spend 3-4 hours in gets a 5/5 from me. Having said that KoE is not some slightly less rubbish game in a sea of utter trash, it is an enjoyable experience well worth spending time on.

The game starts off really good showing a lot of promise, but ultimately it fell short.
~

-Translation is top notch.
-Gameplay is nearly superb, it has the elements of a classic rpg if you are into that (items, equipments, skills, turn based fights) but in a very polished and grindless format to which should be appreciated by anyone striving with not wasting time.
-The art is very good; scenes are well drawn. MC is attractive.
-The game doesn't waste much of your time, it quickly sets your goals and lets you play, which is much appreciated.

Now to where things fall short:
The story is bland and overdone: you have 80 days to get some money so you can buy the mcguff at an auction, which for most it means prostitution.

The clichés in itself aren't the problem, the problem is that all the scenes are very uninmaginative, they lack good exposition, development, good writting, in sum they are not very erotic -something I feel is a trend in h- jrpg games - which is a bit of a letdown if you need something more than static naked pixels to feel excited.

This could be more excusable if there were more content, I mean, imagine how much stuff could happen in 80 days?!

...Not much I tell you...

Most scenes come from town abuse or from battle molestation /rape and are repeated over and over depending on the 3 basic types of enemies/quests: humans, tentacles or jelly monsters.

MC has 2 modes depending on the inevitable lewd stat: sex happens and cumbucket, which you can progress through the exactly standard 1 regular tavern; 1 shady tavern; 1 brothel and 1 fancy brothel, and these don't even give you many scenes, just about 2 each. There are no interesting male characters she can fuck, mostly faceless mobs. Almost no consensual sex besides whoring out, which is annoying. No lesbian content. No lewd content with the other women (that i know of), except from some sort of enema pic from your antagonist. MC personality isn't the worst offender in terms of "sex object devoid of personality" but she's not that far.

In sum, it's your run-of-the-mill jrpg with a sleak package but samey flavor. A solid 3-star = play if you have exhausted better games to play or if you're into the niche's formulas.

This Game Was Great. [Great English Translation as well]

The thing I like the most about this game was the MC.
And I'm not just talking about how hot she was being a silver haired busty beauty (Which I found to be very arousing).

I'm talking about her Personality. Cool, calm and collected and most of all very perceptive. There aren't many female MC hentai games out there with this kind of character. Alot of female MC games portray woman as being dumb and clueless and naive. Well not this game.

The MC is now my favorite hentai girl.......which is where the bad part of this game comes in. To put it simply there wasn't enough Sex scenes and alot of them where reused, which made me sad seeing as I invested alot in this game (restarted 4 times and only played this game for 3 days straight).

And perhaps this is my personal issue, make no mistake this game really good and the plot was easy to grasp and the story was good from start to finish. However I still feel like those tags are bit over exaggerated and most of all, Where was my slut ending?. Still, this game is great, I Recommend playing it

This is an excellent game. An example how to make rpgm without endless walking and tedious grind (in fact there is no walking at all). The cg looks really good, the story feels incomplete but still not bad

This game is such a rare gem.
The quest system is something new.
Heroine is damn sexy and cute.
Her corruption is kind of believeable.
And also monster rape pregnancy
Not to mention that plenty of scenes have pregnant variant.

Good game, good art, basically everything is good ,

There's not much to criticise about, and i just want to say it's good .

No need a page long review all the time. Play, be good and enjoy

Characters, story, etc good.

the game is fun and the H-content is aceptable, balancing smut around because is how you learn new abilities and doing quest to lv up and gather money to buy a egg since you have 80 in game days to do it

Lets start this review with the translation since I know many forum users hate MTL, this one is not a machine translation and actually is a top tier translation so Kudos to the translater.

For the game itself, from the beggining is one of the very few games that let you choose your background, want to start as a virgin protagonist? got it, want to start "used" as a whore? got it, want a "violated by monsters"? got it. Also the difficulty has 4 presets from super easy to hell.

It has combat rape mechanics, clothing damage mechanics that does not rely on HP, they have their own "clothing durability" so you can have full health and wander naked or seminaked.
It has a great corruption system, from a pure and innocent MC to a perverted one (Above 100 lust).
Has a menu that informs the number of sex, pregnancies, births, if you are virgin or who you lost to, and more information.
Has a working pregnancy system, you can get pregnant by slimes, goblins and tentacles and you wont get a game over for it, instead you will have a belly that grows and then give birth some days later.
Have a prostitution system and different works tp choose from.
Desnt have game over if you loose a fight.

EXTRA: If you played and liked Miss Lissete Assasin Maid from kagura games then you will love this one, its from the same developer.

What are you waiting for? go and download this game

Finally a good rpg hentai game with a good translation. I had nearly lost hope that anything good will come out, and there it is.

The art is fantastic, the gameplay is fun, and the story is interesting (not another "we need need to kill the demon king to save the world").

RPG hentai games are not dead

[Rev @ v1.092} [English patch 1.0]

Love the art.

Writing is fine. Scenario is novel enough, translation is good, characters are fine and the tone of the delivery isn't a turnoff. Do think the backstory needs fleshed out even if the intro isn't skipped and did find a couple untranslated bits but all in all a positive experience.

Didn't see any porn that was gross for me, and did see quite a bit I liked; usual whines about needing more/better pregnancy stuff applies but that may as well be my review sig.

Some quest/encounter lines feel too short and too... ADV-gamey? All that's needed to continue them to their finish is to just show up at a place two or three days in a row. There're logic holes in some spots that allow a fully lewded-out heroine to go back to early game encounters and freak out at a guy touching her ass only to dive into a gangbang a sentence later. Also the most annoying bits I found were late game cockteases at breast expansion, cursed clothes and tentacle breeding that are all resolved by either giving up for an unsatisfying gameover or fighting spam enemies for an unsatisfying return to status quo. That's worth one dead star by itself.

TLDR: Worth the time and download.

The game is quite simple/short so as such my review will be as well. Most parts of the game are ok. Can't say that there are many parts that are great, but in terms of gameplay there aren't any glaring problems .The one major issue comes from the fact that the massive tag list does not really represent the kinkyness of the game. Most of it is rather bland and there is strong a lack of variation in the scenes that are available.

Basically, if you came for a short, scene filled adventure like myself, then this game will probably disappoint you.
