Superhuman Review
Superhuman (VER) is a game about mutated Superhumans with a suprisingly thrilling story and has a unique gothy art style. Oh and big boobs. Very big boobs. And lots of them. Seriously, you WILL be suprised how many women with ginormous boobas can possibly live in this world and get to a point, where you are sure they can't possibly get any bigger. And then they do.
If any of that interests you, you should probably check it out. It is my favourite game currently developed.
Read along if you want more details about the plot (SPOILERS) and my thoughts on it.
Many porn games have stories so atrocious, that I skip through the dialog at least partly, if not entirely. Even the ones where I don't do that, the story usually just gives a framework to make the porn parts more enjoyable, and don't get me wrong, Superhuman does that as well, but it also tells a larger story about superhumans, monsters and how gaining superhuman powers inadvertly distances you from humanity. I think it does it so well, that those parts could stand on it's own. What aides in that is the unique setting and art style, the former being a short term scifi world that mostly looks like our world. One of the key differences is the occurance of monster attacks, that at least in the beginning are kept hidden from the public.
After an outing with some friends the MC gets fed something weird by the goth girlfriend of a buddy and gets attacked by a monster. He wakes up with superpowers, which he must discover and train bit by bit. He can be broadly classified as a shapeshifter, but what makes it stand out are the intricacies, limits and specialties of this power, that you discover with the MC together. In large parts this happens in the many fight sequences which are really well done for a porn VN, with unique enemies and both emotional and technical narratives. You have several options in most of these and will probably have to use a bit of trial and error, since a mistake can end in your death and game over, but save scumming, especially at choices, and rollback make that pretty trivial.
The main story follows the MC to his college, where he encounters a ton of potential partners, more monsters and also a few superhumans. I think there is not a single sexual encounter that you are forced into, so you are entirely free to choose who you sleep with, although I'd guess that a full harem route is probably the most common choice. There is NTR in a single route, but it is entirely avoidable and very much telegraphed to you. At a later point there is some reverse NTR, but again, you very much know what you are getting into and can avoid it.
The flow of the game consist of several phases:
Daily life
Cutscenes/Battles
Social Events
In the daily life sections you are mostly at university, although there are some sections where you stay at other locations, with free choice which subroute you want to follow. You Generally have two choices for subroutes per day, with some main plot events and dicking around options sprinkeled within and an evening choice between watching TV for world lore, or masturbate/sleep.
The subroutes follow each a specific girl that you eventually will sleep with, but give a wide variety of scenarios and levels of sluttiness, with some throwing themselves at you in their very first scene, while others require you to spend some time with them before the action, but most want some level of relationship out of this.
Cutscenes are what I call the main story progression and include the battles. You generally only make minor decisions in these that can have larger implications down the line, but I don't think there are any atm.
Social events are most often some kind of party, where you can interact with a bunch of characters in an unusual situation and get some sex scenes, if you progressed the right subroute far enough.
Lastly there is a corruption system for the MC, which suprisingly isn't sex, but violence related. You get numerous chances of murdering more or less reprehensible humans and when you do, your corruption goes up. At this point it has only very subtle differences in later events, but the last few updates seem to build to larger splits in the ending, depending how much humanity is left in you.
TLDR: Play this game, it's pretty good.
