RPGM - Completed - Setting: Kujira Sister [v1.007] [210Studio]

Game looks really good at first glance. We have:
*cute UI
*sexy protagonist
*nice audio
*some background story and events
*character stats to improve
*animations
*well drawn and mostly uncensored pictures.
So simply saying nice looking rpg game about some teen girl and her daily life filled with sexual events. So what went wrong?

First problem is with slow sequences that cannot be skipped. Like bathing or making a breakfast. They are cool at first 3-5 times. But we are forced to watch them daily again and again and again. Holding CTRL or Z doesn't help much. Terrible. But is it only problem?

Well... No. It's only getting worse. Despite having "Completed" icon game is UNFINISHED! Most of the stats are useless and there are not even ways to boost them (other than finding some random consumable items). We have like five small locations and two of them are just for decoration since nothing happens there. Also we may find like two or three story lines ending (or rather cutting off) after few scenes and they offer bunch of short sex events to unlock. And that would be all. Wait no. There are also bugs that can break your game.

I think dev wanted to make some large and decent sandbox with multiple events and stories but ended his work at bugged demo stage and released it as completed version.

Shame since it could be really nice game. Is it even worth playing at this point? Well if you really want you can check it out but it will probably be waste of time.

its truely amazing
i would prefer a grind fest instead of this jittery lame slow boring lame design game
everything is so slow, so unintuitive - boring as hell
free roam is useless
actions are pointless, boring and extremely long and leads to nothing

overall there is no goal, no sense of progression, nothing

fuckking terrible 0 out of 5 (technically 1 out of 5 but thats a f95 restriction...)

I would say the game could be very good with just a few changes. Since as it stands it's nearly unplayable snoozefest. You can go for few hours with nothing happening just to then get every cg without an effort (other than pressing control that is). The grind needs to be shortened. Animations are nice when you see them for the 1st time. But after 200th time seeing the same unskippable animation you just cant stand it. After 1.5 hours I just used the savefile. And even then it was awful. Although art is good you have to wait so long for unskippable animations and voice lines to end its killing the whole joy.
I also didn't like that the brother is literal greek god. I would rather like to see some normal standard onii-chan. Think that would better fit the setting.

Art 4/5
Story 1.5/5
Gameplay 1/5
Fapability 3/5
Originality 3/5

Game is pretty meh.

Story: Waste of potential
I don't know if this game is part of one of the dev's other works or what, but there's a lot of characters with portraits that say random things that don't contribute to the game's experience. Then the actual game-related plot that you'd think would build up to something interesting, like the whole hypnosis/teacher is fucking one of the students thing, it never gets elaborated on.

And the sis trying to get with the bro? It just happens. There's no gradual bonding or breaking down of barriers. It's the same scenes over and over again regardless of whether she's at the relationship level where she's sleeping in his bed or "sleeping in his bed".
Basically, there's no way to gauge progress and there's no satisfying conclusion to the player's efforts.

Gameplay: Terrible
No idea what the other stats do, but you need to progress the story until you meet the glasses-wearing junior who's fucking the teacher and peep on them daily (optionally collecting consumable items) until the heroine jumps her brother's bones. Hilariously, the relevant stat is the only one that does not show up on the pause screen.
But once you hit that threshold, the game pretty much becomes a CG collector. Took me a little less than 3 hours to get to this point. I haven't figured out how to get the ones related her friend in the maid outfit. I have no idea if I have to visit or work at the cafe X amount of times or what, and at this point I'm not really interested in checking every in-game day until it happens.

There's no obvious difference between talking to her bro vs teasing him other than teasing seems to fail more often than talking. There's also a bunch of doors in the school the school that you can interact with for some reasons, but they don't ever unlock. I suspect that the intention was that they were intended for stat-raising, but again, stats don't seem to do jack shit. There's also like 2 city locations you can visit in town, but other than talking to NPCs and getting mundane banter (at the cost of 1 hour and 10 stamina), there doesn't seem to be anything to do.

There's even odd bits like how you can interact with the piano on day 1, and never get to inspect it again. The game tells you that the bro had a piano brought into the cafe for his sis to play, but the piano straight up vanishes. I get the feeling that the devs wanted to make a sandbox and have a bunch of features but said "fuck it, that's too much work" and decided to leave whatever they worked on in.

P.S. The game is pretty unoptimized and hangs on occasion. If you tap the confirm/cancel key too quick, you might accidentally do things that are not intended. Most of the time it won't result in anything bad, but it's hard to deny that the game feels cheaply put together.

Conclusion: Terrible time waster
Honestly, the only reason I'm not rating this 1 star is because it feels like the dev actually made an effort. The reason why it's not getting 3 stars is because there's just too much clutter. If the game was straightforward and trimmed out the junk that doesn't actually add to gameplay, it would be a 3. If they actually had interesting story progression or made those features relevant, it would likely be a 4. It's a 2 because eliminating a good chunk of the partially implemented features would have made the game much less frustrating.

0 out of 5 for a ero game
For fucks sake held ctrl for 60+ damn minutes and fucking nothing... flat out stupid how much time needs to pass real life or in the game to get even supposedly somewhere. So much damn stuff you can not skip and just have to wait out on top of it all as well.

Stats do fuck all unless as far as I can tell or they gotta be even higher then I set them to be. When something does happen eventually it is the character watching someone else and you barely get anything then

Edit: just adding a lot of ero mags and reading them to increase the not shown ero stat is seemingly the only thing that does anything
