RPGM - Completed - Sylphy and the Sleepless Island [Final] [Milky Way]

Probably the game that suits my taste the best. Lots of h event encounters and Lots of costumes. Story isn't that boring either it's serviceable. Gameplay is fine nothing outrageous but at the same it isn't groundbreaking either.

The story is contrived however the corruption system and the spin on classic tropes, such as waitress, are done very well. I did not like the time constraints at first however the game is very achievable within those confines.

It's a good game, with plenty of events and a quality ranging from acceptable to good. It's entertaining and you don't have to grind too much to gain experience.

The downside is that it seems to waste a lot of the game's story and characters. In addition, it falls into the same tropes as always and truthfully doesn't bring much new or different to the table—the casino, the bathhouse, the brothel, the hypnotic village, it's all there. Some mechanics could have been better explained to the player or they're just not relevant at all.

It's a good game, not pushing many boundaries, but it manages to entertain for a good number of hours.

I've played for only 2-3 hours so there's a lot of content I haven't seen, but this is a frustrating game:
- no build up to sex or a sense of corruption - MC goes from being an innocent virgin, to stripping naked or getting raped without much of a care
- CGIs aren't very detailed or exciting
- despite there being many hints of sexual paths, it's really hard to actually trigger sex scenes - and when they do happen they are short and underwhelming.

I like this genre of games, but this particular one is a snooze fest and I have lost the will to keep playing.

Very good game. Time limit is kinda annoying as i dont like NG+, but can achieve most scenes in one run. Art is really good and cute. Love the outfits. Scenes are fairly easy to obtain. Amazingly well polished. Scene quality is very good. 8.6/10

great corruption curve. lots of costumes. TONS of dialogue (the translation is actually super good for how much dialogue there is.) decent story. bland forced mini-games tied to story. bland combat. the artwork is kinda ruined by the monstrously big eyes they gave the women. lots of content (gave me around 10+ hours of playtime.) game was designed to entice you into multiple play-throughs with the time-limit but unfortunately is not good enough to warrant it.

Despite slight abuse of reused images, and despite being slightly grindy (not nearly the worst I've seen but undeniably grindy in some aspects), Sylphy still gets a 5. I'll be honest, Sylphy's story and how it happens through your gameplay is actually fucking good, which is a pleasant surprise, and would probably net it a 5 off that alone. It's nothing groundbreaking, but I mean, we're playing RPGM Hgames - good storytelling and writing are hard enough to come by that anything that does the instant noodle recipe decently enough is already more than solid.

Other than that, the scenes are pretty good (and the pink text as "sounds" written actually were particularly appealing as a design choice that I quite liked and didn't even know), and the game is medium-sized - not enough for me to get bored, but not too short for me to feel like it was rushed either. Overall, pretty good.

Revieving this game wasn't an easy task for me because this game does have flaws and I cetraintly wouldn't give it the highest score possible, but at the same time the F95's rating system leaves me no other choice but to give it 5 stars, as it would be totally unfustified if Sylphy would get 4. I'll use a hundred points system, starting from this review. And this is the rating it gets: 82/100

Lets start with the cons:
+ Game's story is actually very elaborate and well written. It may be me, but I usually skip the most of the story (fast-skip with Ctrl is an existing feature in Sylphy as well) as I find it very and very boring or bad. Writing is very important and seeing that authors put enough effort to make it good warms my heart.
+ Minigames! Some people might find them not interesting as it is, but the fact that Sylphy isn't limiting itself only to implemented in MV turn-based combat is actually good. Gameplay in porn games are important as well, hence why they are called games.
+ User interface and navigation are well made. Starting from basic features as showing important locations once you enter the town for the first time and opening all CGI H-scenes in the recollection room once you've finished the game, and ending with teleporting to buildings and showing how much time you will consume and what you will get instead by interacting with events. This is very convinient for me, although it's still not perfect (I'll talk about this a little bit later)
± Honestly, there could've been more of H-scenes. Each to their own, I mostly liked the scenes Sylphy provides to me, but I wished there could be more of content. Clearing the game took me quite a while (even though I've finished it by simply collecting 50 followers and rushing (and losting) the final battle) and I hoped to see at least different endings.
± User interface and navigation are well made. Mostly. Finding the fucking well in the introduction took me 10 minutes of running through the city. Interface shows whenever there's a H-scene is going to occure and if you've seen it or not, but it doesn't shows if your character can be ripped off from their virginity. Once it will not say anything and Sylphy will just get raped in the Mule village after you'll try to visit it after receiving the protecting amulet. These are insignificant, in my opinion, and even related to my stupidness, but still are unpleasant.
± The begginning scene in the game makes me confused. Father rapes the Sylphy's sister. Why? Why do you (author) show this to us? I (as a player) can't affect this anyhow, I can't avoid or, instead, participate in the event. It's just the shock content for the sake of it with no sense of immersiveness for the player. And we don't know about the sister character anything at all, except the fact that she's clumsy, and the only use of that scene is to motivate the further events with doctor-hypnostist trying to cure her with, well, hypnosis. But it could be just me and this problem wouldn't be so obvious for other players so I'll give it a ± trait, but, personally, I think that all scenes should have a sense for both gameplay and writing perspectives. Player should be an actor. Does that mean that there should be no scenes like these whatsoever? - no, but they should be minor and shouldn't be used for important things.
- Game's quite grindy for no whatever reason. Slums? Get sexual experience. Slut shores? 300 of exhibitionism experience (to wear the swimsuit). Just... why?
- Turn-based combat elements were almost deleted from the game, but many rudiments are still present. I'm not really sure why Sylphy left them in the game since they look very bad in the game. Buying magic crystals is almost completely pointless for the player (since they are very weak) comparing to just buying a weapon in the equipment shop; battling against bosses is a boredom, without any interesting touches. I understand that TBC is mostly outdated and seen beyound saving nowadays, but authours could've at least pust some effort? Or replace them with some minigames? At least I appreciate that you should battle against every enemy in the dungeon: that'd be a torture.

As you can see, the game has enough flaws, but none of them are fatal to me. I can name dozens of grindy games with questionable mechanics and events. But Sylphy actually did a great job in making a solid story. I also see effort in making this game as convinient for players as possible, while trying to implement new gameplay mechanics for diversity. And, the most significant, this game is consistent. Based on that, I believe that the rating for this game should be 82/100, or 5/5. It's definitely not the best game for me, but one of very good ones.

Great game with fun mechanics, decent story, interesting characters and hot scenes. When during the final battle the townsfolk that I've helped aided me mid fight I was pleasantly surprised.
This game is almost perfect, really close, there were only three issues I had with the whole game:
- by the end of the game the assets are getting reused too much, I don't mind it usually, but it needs a slight twist in addition to the base asset, here the game is lacking in this aspect
- the game lacks one more stage of scenes/jobs, the standard 3 stages of jobs corruption is here, but there is no event for the max corruption IMO, they lack this all out scene - it also kinda applies to most events, they lack that oomph at max corruption
- the slum area was a bit dissapointing

Overall definitely worth playing, other than these personal nitpicks this is a 5/5 game with no annoying mechanics, battles are automatic other than boss encounters, there is no grind etc.

I was honestly surprised at how good this was. It's got a lot there if you're into corruption. It's also not a given that you'll win the final encounter if you care about those kinds of things. There's definitely some replayability here since you can miss a lot of quests on your first run through

One of my top 5 favorite H games of all time. The art and aesthetic is absolutely top tier. The progression is really nice, and the game overall is extremely polished. If you like exhibitionism and humiliation, this is the game for you.

Review for Final

This game should by all means be pretty good, but it did lose my attention a while before the ending.

The english en writing are solid. the art is solid. The story is solid.

The events just started to feel a little repetitive. Which, to be fair, isn't that suprising with how many there are.

There is some grind and combat and it's sometimes a tad confusing on what to do, but it really isn't that bad.

Overall, it's a game worth checking out. Even if you don't finish it, there is a lot of content to see. That said it's a very low 4/5 for me, almost a 3/5 just because i did get bored before reaching the end.

I have played quite a few of these RPGM games, and this one was quite impressive.
Here are my pros:

• A lot of scenes and a vast amount of content in general in this game, and most of it is optional
• The corruption in this game is actually pretty solid. Given, the game takes place over 5 days technically, but if you ignore that it's pretty believable
• There's combat, which I'm usually not a fan of, but you auto kill regular enemies and only have to fight bosses, so it doesn't take up that much time
• The story is actually fairly decent, considering this is an H game. There are a lot of fine details that were accounted for.

Theres a lot more but it would just take too long to write. So instead let's move on to the cons, which are the only thing keeping me from giving this game 5 stars:

• This game is on a time limit, not a very strict one, but it is still something I would rather not deal with.
• There are mini games sometimes where combat should be, some of which are somewhat entertaining, but just a bother for the most part.
• The art is fairly average, and there are not that many fully original CG artworks in general
• Some of the events in the game require an unreasonable amount of grinding (Not necessarily combat but things like coins at the casino, and exhibition xp to put on outfits)
• Some events require you to wait a day to progress, which can be really annoying in a game with only a time limit of 5 days, especially if you didn't find out about one of them until late game.
• The game ends abruptly with no post game to speak of.

Now given these complaints, I still had a very good time with the game. It may seem like a lot of cons, but as I stated before, there are more pros that I just cannot remember. I've played around 20 or so of these types of games and I'd put this maybe in my top 8 as of right now.

If you were playing mediocre h-rpgs because didn't had anything better to play, get this one because we finally got to play a good game after a while.

Good game overall, art is good, story is solid, no bullshit gameplay, progression is really well done, minigames are well done and have h-content in it which really adds to the gameplay (i'm looking at you, summer memories) , costumes, corruption...so yeah, might not be one of the best games i've ever played but felt like a breath of fresh air.

an enjoyable game for most of it up until the final boss, which kind of ruined it for me. i assume it required a ton more stat grinding than is available in the assigned time limit, and/or might require an item from a notable sidequest which seems to have glitched out on me and become un-progressable. i felt like i was going at a good pace overall, so suddenly hitting the only massive wall in the game in the form of a final boss with effectively no way to correct whatever i and/or the game developers did wrong via sheer stats kind of made it all feel pointless.

kKagura always releases good stuff, only problem with this game id have to say is the way they just tossed 2 important characters virginities right off the introduction, build up to that point would have been a lot better than just right away rape zZzZZ.

Great art, light-hearted dialogue, lots of content and variety with the bonus of having some freedom in how you approach the game.

This game is amazing for those who enjoy slow (but not glacial) corruption games where the protagnist isn't absolutely innocent, but just isn't depraved.

Content is easy and does not require grinding as long as you actually play the game.

The biggest cons were that some events forcibly have you lose your V card without any previous warning, and the other that 99% (maybe even 100%) of the content is human intercourse, even though the game has monsters, tentacles, gazers and what not. It might have been to parody the games which do often have such content. but I really enjoy losing the V card to a non human enemy if the game allows me to.

Tl;dr - Like corruption and light-hearted / non-serious dialogue with costume options? Play it.

Sleepless Island tries a lot of ideas, and executes them okay, but has major problems everywhere. The story sets up a decent scenario, but rarely uses it until it's Designated H Event Time. To make these events different, they all have unique minigames, that aren't very good or integrated with the event itself (except for one) and overstay their welcome while the events themselves tend to be on the short side. The art just isn't very good, as evidenced by the screencaps. And finally, you had better save every chance you get because hard locks are frequent.

Ultimately, it's still worth a look if the tags tickle your fancy, but it's not going to blow you away.

thank fuck, an actual good game, with an actual good story, with actual proper content and not just crappy turn based combat.
Everything about this game is good, except i don't really like time limits, other than that 10/10.

A classic Japanese corruption from the female POV.

Nothing new in this one, but this is just as high quality as the best female POV corruptions out there. And I say that as a big fan in the genre.

The story revolves having to atone for a crime the MC has committed to the country by stopping this evil force she let out through her criminal actions by any means necessary.. of course lewd acts follow from there. Nothing new.

Just so many great little touches though. The game is kind to introduce concepts gradually, providing informative but brief tutorials throughout. This is a long-ish game but it's all spent on the CONTENT, not grinding (unless you want to grind), and that's thanks to a really well thought out game structure. Any quests or H-events are marked clearly either in your log or on a game map that makes it extremely easy to complete everything, if you choose to spend your time on that. You can really tell this game was a labor of love for the game creator.

The game takes you through all the common corruption tropes you could imagine, with an 'escalating' corruption per scene structure that I love in other Japanese corruption games and it's done fairly well here. I'll say it's not the absolute best in terms of writing or execution or logical progression but it's good, and CG is nicely done and the scenes are not overly long or indulgent and to the point.

This game is big on HUMILIATION and EXHIBITION. Because you're a criminal you're a slave technically, and the game never lets you forget it. How much you've been humiliated/exhibited will dictate what outfits you can wear (they're all humiliating), and some other progression things. It's a focus in this game and it's done well.

Ultimately as a 2021 game, it's a great play that remixes a lot of stuff covered in past games in a way that will satisfy you if you enjoy Japanese corruption stuff at all, with a lot of modern day nice-to-haves that make it a really enjoyable experience. It's not revolutionary.. but it's the best corruption I've played this year, for sure.
