    This is one of those games going in you think "Can I fap to this" and 5 hours later you are thinking "Why am I still fapping? I have work in 3 hours.

    The focus leans heavily on the monster part of monster girl. Every monster in the game my opinion switch from "This cannot possibly attract anyone" to "Wow I would not survive here." when they perform their temptation. And the art direction looks purposely ugly to really hammer in the main characters(or your) decent into depravity.
    The writing is surprisingly good. There is a fleshed out world here, and just about every character gets developed since there aren't really any mobs in the game. The game style can be seen as a H-Undertale.

    There is a lot of content in this game, multiple unique loss screens for each monster, a full gallery with multiple bio for each entry. However due the branching nature of the game you will need to use your save slots to ensure you don't miss any of the entries, which can be limiting since you only have 5 slots. Due to the amount of scenes the harder to reach edge case scenes are not fully translateed, but it is unlikely to actually hit them unless you are trying to 100% the game.

    The game does use a global save system, meaning every time you die or finish off an enemy will effect ALL of your saves and future encounters. This actually made the first enemy impossible for me to defeat so it is something you need to be aware of. But this game also grants you ways to bypass encounters aside from just fighting. I even made a friend at the end.

    A friendly warning to the epileptic; there is a lot of screen flashing, particularly when your lust is high, along with the usual strobe light climax you see in these games. The slow and frequent rpgmaker cutscenes will sometimes get stuck if you try to speed them up with the ctrl key, so just wait through them.

    The story is one paraphrased platitude after another. It's the trendy box of trying to promote love and care for people of bad natures because they're made that way. Don't think about it too hard.

    There are two main routes;

    The 'genocide route' where your character is made out to be the bad guy for being too stupid to have any good reasons for what he's doing. The writers make his justification 'Demons r bad' (and a lot of capslock.) The plot twist, if you want to call it that, on the bad route's main character was such a generic copout that I laughed aloud every time it popped up.

    The 'friendship route' where you befriend demons who have killed x amount of people, is meant to be forgivable;
    1. because they're female,
    2. because you can fuck them.

    The one demon of each species you befriend stays in a room you can access at any savepoint, while their brethren, which you spared in order to fuck this one, continue to go about their business killing and eating humans. The game pats you on the back the nonstop because you're just such a good guy.

    The trial and error grindplay, with its occasional quicktime and stunlock between enemy grapples, can be enjoyable in its own way, more so if you like the usual anime-caricature personalities seen everywhere else.

    Where the game really shines in is the animated sex scenes, which are excellent for the engine. They may start off skippy, but after a second the motion smoothes out at higher speeds.

    I would suggest a separate volume meter to distinguish each scene's quiet sex ambiance from the industrial clunk/explosion sounds that happen during an encounter.

    Monster girl quest paradox and undertale had a baby and it was beautiful.

    Swallow up your pride and beat the game on easy for your first playthrough. I beat it on normal first and it was anything but fun. As a game with RPG maker combat, fights can be anything from a walk in the park to crawling in hell all thanks to RNG.
    Oh, and be sure to get some help from a guide if you intend to clear the True ending. It's not easy figuring things out on your own, I'd know. But no need to worry, the game shows you what you can do quite clearly so you'll know when there's something you might be missing.

    This one is very well done, although the game is quite difficult (recommend using a save editor); the art is animated and effective plus, the story is actually pretty good and gives a bit of a Undertale vibe to it.

    Pretty nice game, espetially the hentai part. One minus -- this game is too hard, espetially one of it's last bosses -- Daiji (purple kitsune). It's the worst bossfight I ever faced in my life (even on easy modo).
