I can't believe how amazing the pixel art is for this game. It has to be one of the best looking 2D games I've ever played in my life, which is really surprising considering this is an extremely fucked up porn game that will only appeal to a small niche of players. Goes to show that talent and dedication can be found where you least expect it. The music and game design were really good too, it had some pretty creative bossfights and the controls felt really good. Even the traumatizing scenes were creative in how horrible they were. I don't think I'll ever see myself the same way after having played this start to finish in one sitting, it made me see that my taste in porn is a lot weirder than I thought.
In a way I find it sad that it won't appeal to many folks, because I see it as inspirational from a creative standpoint.
As both an artist and world builder, playing this game reminds me of LIMBO. It makes me think. Nevermind the pron, I love its dark fantasy feel and when a hentai game makes me WANT to brainstorm ideas... it's superior to much within its genre. Made me have a lore discussion with a good friend about the game's deeper, untold story, where I believe Rabiane was really one of the realm's earliest victims and that she, like the other sisters, fell prey to the dark cult we encounter later on.
Only worse. Unlike the other sisters, Rabiane was handpicked as a 'sacrificial bride' for the eldritch entity and when we do finally confront the 'Evil Eye' as the final boss, in reality we finally learn the horrifying truth.
She was always there.
Her journey to reach it? Never happened. What really happened was Rabiane's mind was finally breaking from the entity's will over her and the nightmare she was hidden within, ever since her original day of sacrifice. She was always imprisoned in that sac of flesh and it was only until she was able to confront that reality that she was able to break free and save herself. That whole journey where she scours the realm for answers was actually the entity's will trying to prevent her escape.
That's why, when we do defeat the 'Evil Eye', and the entity disappears with it, Rabiane sticks around to uncover its origins and that's why we end up with the Laboratory stage as a true finale. That's when she's really alive and seeing firsthand all the evil she missed. That 'the clone' she faces at the end was really just a fellow sister stuck in a similar situation as her, only that she was not so lucky freeing herself from the darkness and went mad from it. After all, she was also enslaved within a sac of flesh before Rabiane wounded the abomination enough that the fellow sister was able to escape and, sadly, fall. She was just too far gone for Rabiane to reason with.
... as for the animal farm, that was all kinds of messed up but I feel the untold story behind that is the entity Rabiane vanquished was looking to raise an army against other realms and that the farm was a place to breed test subjects for the dreaded laboratory and, on an even more sinister note, feed said test subjects and the eventual armies to come from them.
