    Slice of Venture 2: Come Hell or High Water [v1.2.1]

    This game has extremely shit mechanics and I couldn't get into it. Even while using a walkthrough it felt completely impenetrable. There are a million different stat points and you unlock scenes by using some kind of trial-and-error mix-and-match system that's additionally gated by stat checks. Does that sound complicated? Trust me it is. It's so very dumb and needlessly complicated and it really gets in the way of the storytelling and sex scenes.

    A "linear VN mode" mod would improve this project immensely.

    Not recommended.

    If you want to play a game with a lot of bestiality then this is your game. This game is perfect for bestiality fans and it is so well made. The art is incredible and the replayability is outstanding. A top 10 game on the f95 website and you won't waste your time on it. there is plenty of collectibles and stuff to do outside of the main story. Have fun!!

    The sex content is amazing and covers A LOT OF FETISHES, however, it's really complicated, even with the official 49 page walkthrough. There is a way to not view extreme scenes including scat(feces) if you're not into that kind of thing, which is great. Overall, gameplay is complicated and unnessessary, however, the scenes make up for it 100%. Would much more prefer if it was a step by step RPGM with quest log and everything, or even if it was a visual novel.

    This game is really amazing. It turned me on very strong. Has a lot of different and really hot scenes. As for me I don't like ones with komodo dragons but rest were excellent. With out any doubt it's one of my favorite adult games.

    One of the best games I've played, but you MUST use a guide/walkthrough. I wouldn't rely on the official guide, I would use one of the user-made walkthroughs alongside it. Keep in mind that there is endless mode afterwards so you can unlock all the scenes afterwards (the game is designed to be impossible to get all the scenes before endless mode anyway).

    The art is excellent, as good as Slice of Venture Origins which was missing in Slice of Venture A New Start. The art is high quality and very detailed which is great. The scenes of course are all amazing, as you'd expect. There are hundreds of scenes you can unlock and they're all great depending on which fetishes you like. I'm not a fan of piss but even some of the piss scenes were pretty hot.

    The amount of fetishes and depravity of this game sets it apart from most RPGMs. You can see scenes of zebras being fisted, family orgies, nipple fucking, giraffe blowjob, monkey gangbang, bathing in cum, etc. This is one of the most creative games in this regard and is a must play for bestiality enjoyers!

    Now onto the biggest problem with the game, it's so complicated and a guide is necessary. I tried playing without one and while I still thoroughly enjoyed it, I felt that I was missing scenes, so I restarted halfway and used a guide. Immediately I unlocked so much stuff I was missing. I unlocked the zoo much earlier and got to see the bestiality much earlier which was delightful. I do really appreciate the effort to make the game more interesting and non-linear (unlike SoV Origins which is more linear - not that there's anything wrong with that!), but I just wish there was a journal or something to keep track of quests and stuff in the game rather than having to use an external guide. I like the recipe system, but again, I did rely on guides to unlock everything. Despite how unclear the directions are sometimes, a lot of it is alleviated by the fact that there's an endless mode after where you can just unlock the rest of the scenes. I kinda wish I knew that before hand.

    Some other issues: I had a bug with the 2nd handjob in the dump where one of the images failed to load and this made the game unplayable. This prevents me from unlocking a few more scenes after (bj + exhibition). I was also unable to do the boar WS sex (it would just lead to the giraffe scene). There are also some other bugs that the walkthrough warns you about. Even though there are these bugs, I still love this game because of how many scenes there are.

    Overall, one of the best games ever. I have 20 hours and still am not finished with all the family scenes + getting the cards (not sure if I am bothered to). Endless mode is great. Walkthrough required!! Easily an S-tier game, highly recommend, especially for bestiality enthusiasts.

    After playing the game again WITH A GUIDE, i will change my rating for this game.

    The game mechanics are poorly explained. You WILL NEED a guide in order to play it.

    Pros.
    - Many fetishes here.
    - Good amount of content.
    - Bestiality content is simple and good, not great, but it is good.
    - Incest content seems to be more developed. I liked the content very much.
    - It has much more content than previous games.
    - Art is good.

    Cons.
    - There is not a Mission log or tips to complete some important things.
    - Game mechanics are not explained.
    - Really easy to trigger bad endings because of poorly explained mechanics and the lack of hints.
    - The time element is irrelevant because of poorly explained mechanics if you are playing without a guide.
    - There are many spots to use around enviroment, but poorly signed.
    - MANY BORING TEXT. If they want to put big amounts of text, they need A LOT more graphic content in order for the game to not become boring.
    - Was trying to guess mechanics by going locations and doing different things, but, nothing seems to work in order to prevent bad endings. Except for a guide.
    - Graphic style and size for characters vs city is bad balanced.

    Very bad experience with this Slice of Venture release if you play without a guide. Somewhat good if you play with a guide.
    Good amount of content.

    I just hate the gameplay in this game

    It is so dumb and insufferable, you have zero chance to do anything without following the walkthrough literally step by step

    Most of the events are unlocked by doing some absolutely random things like reading a book two times or talking to a random person in one of the 100 locations in a certain day in a certain time

    And if you did not do that absolutely random thing you are blocked from like 90% of the content as it is unlocked step by step

    Most of the event dialogues are too long and if you skip them you will skip the important information too because of how skip in the game works

    Basically if you are into incest, proper bestiality (no monsters) then this literally is the game for you. Make sure to look up the walkthrough if having difficulty as the first half, and all the quests involved can be quite tricky

    Holyshitballs! I dont usually play fem protag games but I've ran out of games already so decided to try this one.
    It is awesome, not defo vanilla though you should already know by tags.
    -1 stars for enforcing PC Only thing, its like the game is designed just to fuck with emulator players or whatnot.

    one of the BEST games out there, top quality art, story, characters, is just a diamond.
    Most games including niche fetishes are happy being mediocre since there is not much to choose from but this one can easily beat any other mainstream adult game.

    Now I am not a fan of the time lapse mechanic, having to do specific things at specific times to unlock scenes and routes and having to sacrifice some scenes to get other ones makes it feel like you will always be missing out unless you replay it over and over. I prefer the other games of the series where you can take your time to explore all day without pressure. Also a gallery for all scenes would be nice, and not just the "films" recorded.

    But overall 10/10

    Let me start out with the obvious: This game is KINKY. I'm talking hardcore bestiality, incest, watersports, scat, smegma, some dirty, dirty shit maaaan. "Slice of Venture: Come Hell or High Water" has everything imaginable, and my god if you like my stories you will love it.

    The art is high quality, and really fantastic. The style is clean and neat, and shows a sense of professionalism that I rarely see in games of this genre. The story itself is also pretty captivated, no matter how horny it is. The time table and "recipe" system are ingenious to keep players playing, and to unlock new and obscure fetishes to make more and more money.

    Finally, the sheer volume of content in this game is astounding. Like, actually astounding. Paging through the guide that the developer provides, I find it hard to believe how anyone could possibly find all of this on a blind playthrough. It was hard enough following the guide with all the overlapping plots, quests, and mechanics.

    I would definitely recommend this game to any other kinky bastards out there, 10/10. (Oh, and yeah. I definitely came.)

    This is a completed game with amazing artwork and a very good amount of content.

    Despite the fetishes here being extreme, the game still manages to come of as light hearted.

    The main issues with it are regarding the somewhat convoluted gameplay, and the heavy pandering towards certain types of fetishes with very little equilibrium.

    All in all, it's a good game with a reliable dev behind it.

    First let me say this game can easily be 5 stars if a few things are fixed mainly the fact you can get deep into the game and just fail and have to start all over i literally failed by one day but besides that the H scenes are very well drawn and the story inst to bad and is a continuation of an extincting set of games which is always cool id definitely recommend this game but 100 percent use a guide and save often and in different slots because there arent many saves on this sight. If you can support the creator so they can make more games. Also adding a gallery to the main menu would be a wonderful feature

    If you're looking for a quick fap rpg-maker game, then go somewhere else.
    The old Slice of Venture 1 was totally different as far as gameplay is concerned.
    This game is NOT FOR EVERYONE. And I'm not talking about fetishes here, but the overall gameplay.


    MINUSES:
    -Lots of walking. Slow walk speed.

    this combines with

    -You get the "open world" feeling here with all those spacious open locations, but game is v.large and grindy (some actions repeat and become tedious).
    [Although unlocking locations is fun.]
    If you know exactly where and WHEN to go then it's ok, but most of the times you revisit old locations thinking "maybe now that xyz happened, something new will appear here", but often it doesn't.
    -Visiting the same place for the 10th time makes you don't want to go there anymore. This destroys curiosity. Frustratingly enough, when the plot progresses, you sometimes find that things did change... which increases your frustration. Side quests change that.

    -No Quest section to check what to do and where?
    So I skipped little bit too far and now I have to use walkthrough to progress stuff.
    So we were supposed to do a heist today? Dear me.
    Sometimes I didn't know there are quests active, then I learned it failed or read about it in the walkthrough. Lot of RpgMaker games have this feature. It would be great to keep track of my Side Quests and challenges.

    -STATS don't really matter.
    They were introduced as a major mechanic, but not really. Maybe at the beginning of development...
    Some porn recepies do have (very low) stat requirements to be attempted, but as you are forced to do sth in the evening, then it's impossible not to get high stats as the plot progresses.
    -Father's stats
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    -Mother's stats are also
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    minus 4 stat-change scenes, butI would've missed half of them withouth walkthrough.
    [failing any of the 2 above is a sad game over]

    -DAY SYSTEM. Time management.
    You can do 2 porn things per day (or you can go home and skip), and every day the sisters spend evenings in their rooms. Plot interactions very often END THE DAY (skip the evening). So you planned to do the "weekend only" porn flick? Too bad. Wait 5days.
    After a ingame month I longed for "skip evening" button.

    -Bad Ends.
    usually everybody likes those, but here they are... sad. It's NOT typical game over rape, but more like "you failed in life",
    I came here to fap, not to feel.

    -Some recipies have no sense, some sensible ones don't exist.
    So Sister1+Sister2+Vagina+Mouth is an invalid recipie (there ARE such scenes in game like their Bath Scene), but things like:
    Sister1+ Stray Dog + Penis + Ass are valid.
    Or a zoophiliac nurse not accepting some very sensible recipies with animals ,although she's the first one to unlock SCAT with a dog...
    [It's obvious that the artist did a limited, but big portfolio of CG scenes and human's imagination is limited. So the most extreme scenes are very few. So I absolve him here.]

    -There should be a game mechanism that disables some contents,
    I know the excibitionit's "scat" scene prompted me Yes/No, but I did click Yes as not to lose a recipie and future income. I also didn't want to block the excibitionist's naked recipie from unlocking.
    I know it's a bestiality + incest game with all-minus-one main characters (
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    ) being from some neo-nymphomaniac society from the previous game, but Urination, Scat, Futanari with animals, Old/Fat, Smegma penis sould be optional?
    Preferably as an Enable/Disable option in menu or clickable on furniture like with X-ray during sex (you click the Curtains in your room to enable).
    But how to do it without breaking the main mechanic of earning money by selling porn? Or redrawing half the pictures.
    [Please don't discuss this, this is just my view about this issue. I know we can all talk river about this. I was warned what to expect when I played the previous game and there are TAGS. I just have my likes and dislikes aka preferences]

    -Autosave.
    Wasn't it supposed to be daily. But it became weekly? Maybe I misread during the explaination.
    Why isn't there an option to switch it off?

    -Chaos in inventory.
    NOT SORTING of ready recipies in inventory (this may be rpgmaker's fault).
    So I have 30+ recipies. Unsorted. So I look manually by: name (Eri), location(Playground), deed(Blowjob)... but they are mashed together. And you don't know it it's 1st or 2nd interaction (more advanced version of the original handjob, but with bare breasts etc)
    So there are: 4characters x 10sexActs x 10Locations. and sometimes "with whom". These give a lot of combinations... unsorted in your inventory. But it's great they disappear from inventory after you compleated 2 variants of each.

    -Rare, but BUGS
    So I clicked on a recipie and the scene did not progress when I arrived at the destination and talked to npcs.
    On my second playthrough, I got bugged by a Black Screen (of Death) when my characters did a scripted thingie where after school they went to fuck some dogs (literally) but no scene progressed. I could open menu, but it was black. Reloaded from the last save and lost an hour, because autosave was once a week, but it kept repeating. Restarting didn't help.
    Literally deleted the game after 3 failed attempts later.


    PLUSES:

    +SKIP BUTTON
    Shift to v.fast skip
    Space to 2x time (in cutscenes)

    +Game is BIG
    although It progresses slowly, you see that it's ambitious project. Even now it was updated to v1.1 from v1.0 with new content. Maybe they will update more in the future.

    +The combinations are fun,
    It's fun to do them, although they COULD be done better. I'm sure Eri would do some things that her sister would too.

    +Unlocking stuff,
    after you get the hang of it, then it's fun to walk around town, read books, do events and unlock new recepie elements.

    +The plot,
    although stupid (
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    ) it is interesting and looks bigger than it is.
    You have "plot" days and regular days (where you act our porn recipies).

    +Art,
    is great. Quality stuff.

    +Fetishes, lots.
    Lots of them, maybe not always to my taste, but it's a porn game dammit.

    +Interesting quests


    Final mark: 3.5 out of 5.

    I liked the look of this game so much that I decided on completing the first 2 games before starting this one, the thing I'm not really a fan of with this game and the previous ones (the reason it's not getting 5 stars) is that playing the games without the walkthroughs is like running through a mine field, you just get left being disappointed that you miss so much content the only real ways to play these games is to go with the walkthrough

    Honestly I didn't finish this game I went on to the walkthrough to try and find the recipes and then while reading through it learned that I was going to get the fathers bad end because I answered some questions in the wrong order. Having warnings about this stuff in-game would be so much better

    So yeah... anyway, everything else about the game is fine I personally am not into bestiality, hobo sex, and all other sex with disgusting people type stuff and I know it seems strange for me to be playing this when that is like 80% of the content but my favorite types of games include female protagonist and incest and it does that very well and I'm certainly not going to downgrade my rating for the other stuff as I know this game wasn't designed for me I just think the game needs to be less harsh on the players maybe have an easy difficulty option for people who just want the story

    tl:dr;
    If you want to play this game I first recommend playing vitamin plus (the first game in the series) then play slice of venture (the second) and then start this one as it makes many references to the previous ones that you will not understand, also use the provided walkthrough as I guarantee if you don't get help their will be content you will miss :cry:

    This game is really well structured and kinky to the bone without being gory but still explore all fetish till you are satisfied or are like O F***k they even went there. Blue Axolotl is really a talented developer who knows how to make kinky games, i am looking forward to his future works.

    I like this game because it's utterly shameless. It covers a crazy amount of fetishes, including scat and bestiality, but there's something for everyone. I didn't actually play it, but i found some saves here and looked at the gallery, so I can't comment on the gameplay. But the gallery scenes were great! I keep coming back to this game again and again, and i want to see what Blue Axolotl does in the future.

    [Version 0.9]
    "Not for the faint-hearted" :)

    This game gave me mixed feelings, so to say.
    I guess a good way to begin a review would be to talk about all the pros of this game:

    - Arts: I really like it, just simple still images with no animations whatsoever but I think they're pretty well aided by the text. I didn't feel the lack of animations at all during my playthrough. Overall it's an 8,5/10
    - Fetishes: Well, where should I begin... I guess who already played any of the past games made by Ark Thompson (Vitamin plus, Slice of Venture 1) already knows what this game deals with. For the rest of the readers, my recommendation is to first play those 2 game as this one is their sequel. Please note that currently only one fetish (that is, scat) can be avoided in this game.
    As someone once said, to each their own. 10/10
    - Gameplay: I like the recipes system, it's simple to learn but I think it needs a better hint system or something similar because it can easily become frustrating. 6/10
    - Story: It's ok, I mean it's nothing new but at the same time I find it very fun to read and follow. Average levels of humor too. 6.5/10

    Now, with the cons. Please bear in mind that these are my opinions and I just want to be as much constructive as possible:

    - Gameplay: That's right there is also a big downside regarding it. I don't like how the flow of time works in this game. It's very, very confusing to put it mildly. But the worst is the deadlines, you must play all things in perfect order, otherwise you might skip some critical event to unlock more stuff and at that point, it'd be too late. What I hate most of all in a game is the need to restart because of these futile reasons, let alone making the whole experience a real pain in the butt. I had to restart at least twice even with the aid of the walkthrough, which will be discussed later in my review.
    This game is unforgiving and requires a lot of planning and forethinking, that is something that should be avoided in
    a game like that. 2/10.
    - Bad endings: They require a little bit of practice to be avoided but I still don't understand why they are a thing in adult games. Just a personal matter, but it's a 1/10
    - Walkthrough: Oh boy, what a total mess that thing is. Just reading it gave me headaches, it's overly complicated and not well structured. I think that a WT should tell you exactly what to do, not how things are supposed to work in the game (of which I don't really care), forcing yourself to actually study the full WOT in order to get the best out of to it. Also, some recipes and other important info are missing. 1/10

    Long story short:

    Arts: 8,5/10
    Scenes: 10/10 (but most of stuff can't be avoided)
    Gameplay: 5/10
    Frustration factor: 100%, even when following the "walkthrough" it's very easy to overlook something or miss content.
    Replay factor: 10%, The sandbox mode is finally there but it still requires lots of efforts and grinding to enable. A proper SB mode should be enabled right after starting a new game.


    My 5 stars are for its uniqueness, potential, and overall quality.
