The engine used for this Game was Visionaire Studio 4, and was very different from other erotic games I've played... I would liken it's play style to the old Kings Quest/Space Quest games of the 80's but obviously with better graphics and so on... The current content plays out pretty much like a solve the mystery game, where you need to find out who the thief is... It has some adult content, but it doesn't hyper focus on it, in favor of a more fun story...

The visuals are pretty good for a more anime (not Japanese style) feel to both the characters and backgrounds... The UI is not bad, and does require you to move the mouse around and click a lot of stuff to see what is useful and what is not, and that all depends where you are in the story... That includes clicking on other characters to talk to them...

The script needs some work, mostly because there is a lot of broken English, unfinished sentences, grammar errors, etc... Overall I could make out most of it, as not all of it has issues, but you run into scripting issues all throughout the game... The script is mostly just the introduction (which is extremely rushed and a bit confusing), as well as dialogue between the male protagonist and the 3 other female characters... Most of the time the story gives you clues that are easy to interpret as to where to go next, but there were a couple moments when it was hard to tell, and you end up revisiting rooms again trying to figure out where to go and do next... It wasn't too bad though... Most of your game play will be investigation and discovery, with some occasional dialogue...

The overall plot revolves around the protagonist working on a secret formula that I believe is meant to add to the experience of having sex (not 100% sure as the intro was too short and confusing), but he looses his memory during the last experiment and a mystery ensues at that point over some missing money... There is a little bit of teasing on the erotic content, and only a couple very short erotic scenes... Most of them present themselves while researching the mystery, and actually add to the overall story as it plays out, rather then just being thrown at the reader as erotic filler... This is definitely not a visual novel in any way, and is more like a mystery adventure game with a little bit of story in the way of dialogue and detective work...

Overall, I actually enjoyed the game, even though I was hoping for a visual novel at first... It's still a work in progress, so the game doesn't last that long, but I like how it presented itself through some detective work... The script just needs a lot more proof reading for the English translation/interpretation version... I think the introduction before the actual game play needs some rework as well, as it kind of moves too quickly and takes away from the experience, being so short and slightly confusing... It's almost like you're just being thrown to the wolves, with very little in the way of a deeper backstory as to why you're doing what your doing, etc... I figured out the experiments are sponsored by some sex toy vendor, but that was the extent of it...

I will try this one again sometime, once it's gone through a bit more development, but I enjoyed the content that exists for the moment, and it shows a lot of promise...


Have you tried Cherrysock's 'Sisters' Secret'?
If you haven't you might enjoy that one. Classical point and click with inventory system done in AGS. You play a cop that 's sent to solve a case about some missing diamonds iirc, investigating a a villa over a weekend, inhabited by two sisters and a butler. This one does actually play very well in the old school adventure game spirit imho, can even get you stuck on the puzzles (walkthrough is available tho). Also features a good and evil route but I can't speak to the evil route cause it involves ball gags and the like, which is not something I enjoy. Still, pretty nice overall.

Actually I have played that one, and it was entertaining... I played it several months ago before I happened on this site... Thanks for the suggestion though... Only time I used the walkthrough on that one was after I played through it once, just to see what I missed the first time, in order to see the opposite ending... The 1st play through I went bad guy, and found that going good guy the second play through was actually more entertaining and more humorous at the end...

Very short game so far. Only a handful of h scenes. Hopefully next version will offer more than just a few new scenes and perhaps better writing. Isabella often changes name to Faith in convos and the grammar is horrible at times. But the art style is nice and that is a big plus.

Fully agree with your review. Graphics are good to great, story is interesting although a better translation would definitely help here. It is not an erotic VN it’s more like a hidden object game with a bit of adult content. Let’s rate it R not X. A mild R... There is enough content for about 1h play time unless you’re hidden points/objects spotting skills suck.

What happens after the lightbulb? I clicked it, reviewed the footage on the PC, now I'm stuck. I've spoken to everyone and clicked everything I can. I can only get into Helen's room.
After you entered Helen's room you need to go back to the Lab and she will confess she left Isabel alone in the lab, after which you can enter Isabel's room and find what happened
