Regarding scat in this game: Yes there is scat, there are precisely 3 scenes involving it- and yes they are avoidable! I did not actually encounter any of these scenes during my playthrough- had to look through the images folder to even know they exist.
If you want to avoid these scenes, here are the first images from them- with no scat! If you start to see them in game, just walk away XD

I see this all the time the Evangelists pop in and whine about something in the game from NTR to Scat or even that there are not a certain gender used enough.

I feel like if any Adult fetish bothers you majorly that you probably should not play or even look at any of it.

I just skip a long, and close my mind to things I don't like no problem.

I really never felt like I had any business complaining about anything I took the time to get myself, and it was free. Also in this forum is not the place to worry about it. I would think the better place would be the creator's page I am sure they have one.

HOWEVER: This game does not have a scat tag, so I can see where some people might be put off on this game at least and have some reason to post about it.

I played the game from start to finish and while the combat became tedious at some point, I highly disagree that it's a 1/5. People really don't know how to fairly rate something anymore these days, do they? They don't finish the games, they play 10% and immediately go down to a 1 star rating.

Different strokes for different folks, but tbh I rarelly review stuff that I don't like.
I understand your piv, and I also hate when people judge something a bit too quickly, so to be fair, I'll download the game again, grab the full save and see if I'd bump the rating a bit.

Ok, checked out the scenes, not all cause too lazy, and the CG and writing is ok, it's a bit lacking in the sound department imo, but I've seen worse.
Only thing I'd have to ask you, is how was it after 2 hours of gameplay ? Did the gameplay get better / more interesting later on ? Was the pace of getting hentai scenes ok / or too slow (34 scenes for a 26h save seems kinda little).
What would be your critic on the strong points and weaknesses of the game ?

So to get more info on my piv :
My review was a bit harsh, but I've been a hardcore gamer all my life, and the tedious gameplay, plus (almost) no hentai 2 hours in kinda made me mad, and games should be fun right ?
Not judging anyone who enjoyed it, I'm just maybe getting bored of porn / hentai or idk..
But in this game I really felt betrayed, usually when playing hentai games there is some reward after 2 hours of gameplay, there, I found none, the game wasn't hard, just anoying to play, opening menu to replace clothes all the time, and the fights weren't really strategic, which is why I've ranted so much in my review (quite a short rant lol).
But yeah, maybe it's also because I've played over 1k games, and prob a couple 100s of hentai games, so after seeing so many good / decent / bad titles, I have much higher expectations in terms of game mechanics, and can easily see the flaws / good sides of games.
I also love RPGM games in general, so that isn't a reason why I didn't like it, and it's probably been the only H game that I hated playing. (actually there is another one, played 10 hours, and forfeited, it was even a worse experience than this game, but the story was intriguing, and I wanted to see if the art would get better like everyone in the reviews said.. but it didn't so fukit ^^)
Last point, I usually try to never lose, so that maybe impacted the fact that I didn't get to see much scenes.
I'd actually like to continue my save to have better judgement of the game overall, but deleted the game at the time so wtv.

Other than that, sorry for necroing your post xD
I wish you all a happy new year, peace :)

It's okay, I don't check in much but I saw the post.

It's been years since I played the game from start to finish, mostly because I already beat it and can't force myself to play H-games twice unless they're games with intended replayability.

Honestly? The gameplay doesn't change much going forward. Almost all of MARIMO's RPGMaker games have the same gameplay "flaw" (if you want to call it a flaw, it's subjective to be honest) which is that the game doesn't innovate much on the fighting aspect of it. MARIMO games are big on Ryona and Game Over scenes / Bad endings in general. As far as I'm concerned on this English translation, I can't speak for it or against it because I played the game in Japanese originally and felt that the translation from the first... 20 minutes up until recruiting the third girl wasn't atrocious or anything. It definitely was discernible what each character meant and what each objective wanted from me.

That being said I definitely do not think this game is a 5/5 and I will not argue that fact. It has flaws, particularly Gameplay wise and it carries those flaws to future RPGMaker games made by MARIMO. Now, on the contrary: MARIMO's art is unique, risque and they're known for sticking their back out for hardcore fetishes that all other Circles are scared to touch (And that's also why most Circles don't go past releasing 1 game, because they're bland). This game 100% has kinkier elements incorporated into it which easily raises the score for me (subjective, I know).

I'm not going to give this a final rating in comments, I might write a Review someday if I haven't already, but without deep analysis I'd place this at a 3/5. It's a mediocre score, deserving of the H-Game industry in general where most games are mediocre. It's not particularly bad, just... particularly not impressive outside of MARIMO's artwork.

I certainly hope you didn't misinterpret my post. There was no whining, my sole intention was this: after having read several posts prior asking confused if there was or was not scat in the game, I aimed to clarify for anyone looking for a definitive answer. I'm also of the opinion that if a certain content bothers you, it's more constructive to walk away and/or blacklist it for yourself, rather than post and tell everyone you don't like it. I just wanted to provide a way for people to enjoy the game and know beforehand if they were entering a scene they weren't going to enjoy

This one actually you were right to post about, considering that it does not have a scat tag, and it actually probably should. So I understand on this one perfectly well.

A request for a scat tag would be a very good idea here I think. It should have had one.

Your post just reminded me of all the posts I have see where someone comes on, and complains about something that was clearly Tagged on the front page.

I just never understood why in that case ( When the game was tagged with the offending action )anyone needed to jump in the thread and tell everyone how they hated that (what ever it was). It just never made sense to me. ( Unless they just wanted to jump on a soap box)

You did good I think here. It needs a scat tag I think!

Haha- I hear that, loud and clear. No one watching Bambi as kids anymore.
I wonder if the scat tag was left out because the scenes are avoidable and totally minor, or if the uploader didn't know they were present? It should at the very least have a disclaimer in the description. The dev notes say only "GIRLS GETTING REKT from captive ramming to amateur porn, an orgy party, gut-busting birth, S&M, slave auction, bondage,
electric shock, bestiality, gushing milk, interspecies/tentacle sex, brainwashed exhibition, forced prostitution"

Sorry for the late reply, been a bit busy lately.

I can imagine, the only H-games I replay are my favorites, or fun platformers / simulation ones, for RPGs I couldn't be bothered unless the game really has what I'd call close to a perfect game (imo).

That is kinda sad, but I've played tons of games which do this so I don't mind it "too much".
What bothers me is having that kind of fighting and having not enough "rewards", and sometimes it feels like the game is made long to play without any game design reasons, unless the plot or H makes this worth it is entirely subjective, since we all have varying tastes.
But in the case of this game, I found it underwhelming if you compare it to the "better" rpgs out there.
And with the extreme content, I found the incorporation much more satisfying and interesting in ahriman's games.
It's not that I want to hate this game specifically, it's just that after playing 100s of RPGM games, there has to be something else in the game mechanics, something fun, or something you look forward to.
If the game routine / game cycle is uninsteresting, I just grow bored too fast out of it, and at this point the H or plot rather be top tier, or I'll just stop the game.

I somewhat agree but those kinkier elements didn't do it much for me, and I usually like some of those type of elements, but not much for guro, scat, piss, food, preg etc..
Overall, I feel like the game could've had more appeal for me if there was more work in the audio department, and if the tedious aspect of the gameplay were "toned down a little", my issue is that there was no challenge gameplay wise, it was just annoying to play, and knowing it's like that for I don't know how much hours makes it hard for me to praise it.

Well said, I agree that most of the H games in the industry are mediocre, in some cases I found games with insanely good artwork, but the gameplay / grind / game design aspects either makes it a hit or miss.
Which is sad, because some games deserve a more innovative dev or original mechanics to make the game from mediocre to great.
BUT I understand that being innovative, and trying to bring something new to the table can also be risque, so I don't blame the dev for doing the same working formula from most RPGM games, but as a passionate gamer, I just wish the more recent titles find a better balance and keep getting better from there.

And sometimes you just have that little gem that does most or "everything" right, and you just have a good time playing it, and the H element is arousing and fun if the game doesn't take itself too seriously, which is perfect in my books.

After looking back at my review, it feels more like a rage rant than a review, so I'll edit it and make it a bit more objective.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, have a great week :)

I can run the game OK, but I don't know how to proceed. I get told to go to the bus stop but I've interacted with like every object in the starting zone and nothing's happened. This is quite frustrating.
