This game is a cut above most RPG games, and I really enjoyed it more than the bog standard of the format.
Pros:
Cons:
IMPORTANT! One other reviewer pointed it out after I made this initial review, so I'll stress the same point they did: this game can and will be messed up when it comes to the content, particularly the h-content. Stuff like getting killed via sex is a thing, as is causing the MC pain and suffering (no, I don't mean consensual S&M, I mean legit pain and suffering) and having the affair be erotic in how it's portrayed. I'm almost tempted to add the fucked up nature of the game as a pro, but I'll just leave it listed in this afternote. If you're looking for a wholesome time, you will find none of that feel-good stuff here, so it will be best to look elsewhere. But if you're questionable in the head when it comes to fantasies (like me), well... say no more and play this.
Pros:
- Art style is good to great
- Live 2D 'status' screen of the heroine on the side of the screen. If she attacks, she'll animate to show she's attacking. If she gets attacked, she'll animate accordingly to show she's taking damage. And, best of all, if she gets harrassed, the status screen will show it. If she's taken a beating, she'll have cuts and bruises. Splattered with semen? You'll see it. Honestly, this feature is fantastic.
- Customizable MC boob size. Yes, it's just limited to 3 sizes (medium, large, and extra large), but I really appreciate the option. It's a godsend for people like me who are fatigued from seeing MCs with big boobs, though that's of course just my preference.
- Customizable outer clothing, underwear, hairstyle, and hair colour of MC
- Clothing break/tearing mechanic upon accumulating enough damage
- The gameplay of each stage ('door') is varied. It's not just like your usual battle-mobs-get-money-and-XP affair that comes with most RPGM games. One level feels like Metal Gear Lite with its usage of [admittedly simple] stealth.
Cons:
- Game can be a tad short and would really have benefited from having more content
- There's some mild to moderate poetry, but to be frank it's not as though anyone with a decent grasp of English will fail to understand the gist of every line of poetry. It's better than what you expect when you hear "machine translated", seriously.
- There's a popup error screen that shows up on the top left that refuses to leave (unless you load a prior save when the popup wasn't there) when you try to purchase items from a 'shop' in one of the levels/doors. It's possible to just not buy items, but then why have the shop in the first place, right?
