Unity - Completed - The Censor [v3.1.4] [Tiramisu/Big ass studio]

The game is about this guy who gets a job at a social media company as a censor, just to pay rent for his apartment. It's a simple story, but it's interesting and sets the stage for what's to come.
Visually, it looks great! The pixel art is so detailed and the soundtrack is so atmospheric. It really makes you feel like you're in the world of the game. There's not a lot of variety in terms of content, but the NTR genre is definitely there. Unfortunately, there's no MILF content. But the visuals and sound are the best parts of the game for sure.
Things are a bit of a let down with the main story and side quests. To be honest, the main plot just comes down to the main character trying to seduce and blackmail three girls: an idol he's in love with, a neighbor's (girl manager of appartment), and a nun who shows up with a sermon. Sadly, the characters are pretty generic and not well-developed. Their motivations and personalities are left on the surface, making them more like props than real people.
The situation is slightly better with side quests. They add variety to the gameplay, forcing the player to interact with others in order to earn rent. Although the stories are short and sketchy, they leave a pleasant impression. However, after completing the side quests, the characters from them no longer play a role in the game, which is a bit disappointing.
Gameplay
Gameplay is the weakest side of the game. The constant need to navigate the map and return home every night to sleep quickly tires. A teleporter that can be purchased only slightly reduces the time, without solving the problem completely. Mini-games, especially in sex scenes, are also disappointing. The mechanics come down to clicks on the hearts that appear above the scale. In the story scenes, you need to click on the four hearts three times to complete the stage. This is repeated several times, which makes the process monotonous and tedious. Unfortunately, there are few interesting mini-games in the project. It seems that the developer artificially stretched the duration of the game due to the grinded mechanics and frequent backtracking. Without these elements, the game could be completed in 3 hours, but because of them, the passage takes about 6-6.5 hours.
Result
Despite the disadvantages, the game leaves rather positive impressions. The visual and auditory components, as well as the variety of content, make it worthy of attention. Unfortunately, the gameplay has let you down, but if you are looking for something to relax for a couple of evenings, this game may be a good choice.

upd: Anyway, this game isn't worth 3 stars. I'd give it a 3.5 if I could, but since I can't, I'll give it a 4.

The art is good, but uh the gameplay loop at the start can be a bit uh...repititive though. Like, you running around doing side tasks, helping people give this sense of "man, I'm now a lackey of these npcs now?"
But it is a straightforward and with a decent amount of play time, 5 hours for me, and what you get in return is worth it I would say
Though, I would have wished the trap to be one of the main char tho :<

The art is good, but game progression is a chore.

You play as a censor for facibook, you must prevent H content to get posted, otherwise it generates chaos, and if chaos gets too high, you'll be fired.

That part of the game is ok, there is enough diversity in images you'll have to control, as I said above, the art is good (especially compared to the pixelated AI generated images we had in the demo), and it's only 8 images a day. And soon enough, you'll make enough money to not even have to work everyday.

Then, there are 3 main female interests: the flat manager, the idol, and the nun.

And without any bad pun, holy crap, that's where the grind gets real.

For each of them, you have to find compromising photos during your job, blackmail them, and "train" them.

Training them consist in a sex "minigame" that is extremely tedious, you have to click on 4 hearts to fill 1/3 of a progression bar, nothing complicated. But that's 12 clicks for 1 orgasm, you have to train them 8 times, and it takes 3 orgasms to complete each parts of the training.

That's 12*8 clicks per character... it's not even engaging gameplay, just clicking hearts, you can manage speed too, but it's useless, while it is usually the main part of the minigame in this kind of game.

The sex scenes are ok, but are just very short loop, they feel more like a time waster than anything else.

Fortunately (or not), the nun also has some other very annoying minigames.

Speaking of minigames, the idol has TONS of them to complete BEFORE unlocking the blackmail, and then you need to grind them some more to get enough points to finally get to her...

Now, let's talk about hte most underwhelming, yet good feature of the game: chaos and corruption.

If you let some H image pass through censorship, you generate chaos points. Those points corrupt the NPCs yo encounter through the game. Each NPC has a threshold, which when reached, change their behaviour (the way they think, the way they dress, and add some peeking sex scenes here and there)

Unfortunately, i think the game should have focused on this and shown gradual corruption, instead we go from prude to sexfiends without anything inbetween, a missed opportunity.

All in all, while the art is good, I felt the main sex scenes were more a punition than a reward, and the only innovative feature wasn't exploited enough.

It's still a good game, but not one I would give a good rating to.

This has no business being so cooked,
I'm not really a big fan of NTR but scenes are very well made. Progression is well balance and probably the best one at it. Hope more games follows this type of progression

The game is good as far as the first few scenes go... i'd prefer this as a job sim rather than a hentai game.
The heavy reliance on ai and the fact some scenes like the options you get for assistan manager dont re appear again and its ai scenes... idfk how to describe what i mean but the ui for the assistant manager's scene was done very nicely, it actually had plenty effort put into it.

3/5 or 6/10
+1 because the job part actually doesnt suck
+1 because for 25% of the game theres actual hand made animations
-1 for the little amount of H stuff we have (like you got so many characters and you let us fuck like 60% only?)
+2 because maintaining a good cash flow is easy and the job isnt grindy af until late game
+1 because theres a quest menu for you to know what your quest is (some games dont do that)
-1 becauseyou dont know WHERE to get the quest or at which time period you must be free to complete them
+1 because of the customizability options in the actually handmade animated scenes (assistant manager and nun and i dont think there was anyone else with the selection menu on where you can do it, maybe the idol? Idk)
-2 because theres not much customizability other than those 2-3 i mentioned..
Overall ig it was just avg

What a good game!, not so grindy but need some hours to complete.

The animations are good, with a variation once corrupted, would be good to have more NPCs interacciones / animations but so far so good.

Sometimes it's kinda slow but play it slowly while enjoying the game.

One of the relatively few porn games which actually try to be "games", integrating "porn" aspect with "gameplay". For that, it has three main parts of gameplay loop — walking around and exploring, "gamified facebook moderation" job, and sex minigame — with a few separate side minigames. However when approached from the actual gaming loop design point, it sadly has multiple major flaws.

One of the subject's omnipresent problem are constant discrepancies in the design. For example, control scheme is competely disarranged: certain sequences force you to navigate the character and interact with objects exclusively by keyboard, while others force you to exclusively use mouse navigation. There are many in-game screen spaces (from MC's computer desktop to the map to the game options and save/load) but controls for all these screens are completely different, up to the means to close/cancel the respective screenspace. A few of these try to be diegetic with its design, but the "close/cancel" button is still always different, always placed in a different spot and sometimes even doesn't acknowledge the "close" function clearly. Furthermore, some interaction sub-screens ca only be closed with a keyboard interaction, having no mouse button to do so.

Walking/exploration loop has this problem in full and high. Certain specific actions (e.g. "shop/activate" and "invoke sex") are bound to Q and E respectively, but both regular "interact" and "talk" functions (including traversal between exploration zones) are generally bound to Space. But wait, it's worse: certain exploration zones have overlapping interactions, where "traverse" is bound on Q but "talk" is on Space (a sane minute design intention but a poor choice from the point of consistency). But wait, it's even worse: in a few places the scheme is reversed, so you have to traverse with Space and interact with Q, often in the same screen with the previous variant.

The "facebook censorship/moderation" game loop is a bit more coherent, but it suffers from the artistic/stylistic incoherency. Image sequences used for procedural generation of "posts" one is supposed to review and censor are a bunch of screenshots taken from a dozen of completely different games, with vastly different artstyles, including both 2D and 3D. It's one of those cases where it would've been sensible to use a pass of AI inpaint with the same core model/lora in order to make it visually consistent in general.

Then there are sex scenes. Most of them are sets of pixel-art animations, in quite a good quality; however, once in a while you suddenly get a full-frame animated-art "cutscene" instead, adding to the stylish discrepancy. It even applies to the essential storyline quests, where "blackmail scenes" are animated art while regular followup "sexual training" is in pixel art. And that artistic approach is even more inconsistent with dedicated and side-quest scenes which vary per-case without any detectable artistic intention behind it.

Some minigames have rule explanation popup only during a first try (with an option to invoke help screen later), but some have it to pop everytime you launch said minigane again and again. Furthermore, the choir singing minigame doesn't just have it everytime, but it doesn't stop the minigame itself in the background, so you'll almost guaranteed to miss/fail a great part of it the first time when you spend your time trying to comprehend the minigame mechanic.

And then there are some "systems" which are declaed but don't properly work, either due to being bugged or just not being implemented properly. For example, during the "facebook moderating" game loop one of the censorship conditions is to look whether the photo is attributed to some "celebrity", and then to check whether the "poster" name coincides with the respective "celebrity" name. However, for all my playthrough I haven't met a single event where the "poster name" would've coincide with the "celebrity name" in the first place, essentially making any "celebrity" notification just a glorified checkbox for instant reject decision. Another example: info sheets for the "storyline target heroines" contain counters for blowjobs, handjobs and titjobs; however these activities are only available during the "blackmailing cutscene minigame" which becomes unavailable anymore after successful completion, thus the respective counters basically mean nothing.

Also, one of my least-favourite "features": locking some essential things behind optional upgrades. In the exploration part, the default walking speed is quite slow; one has to grind for and then purchase not one but two optional upgrades to even bring the movement speed up to the comfortable/intentional.

On top of all this, one has to add extreme bugginess, including literally the main storyline; one of the most important sequence-breaking bugs, blocking the whole progression at a certain point, has only been (reportedly) fixed in version 3.1.4, more than half a year after the game's release. Then there are multiple side bugs leading to either misinformation or incorrect outcomes (e.g. max Chaos tolerance at the top career level being falsely reported as 20 instead of 120 until the actual Chaos value exceeds the former value) presented even at the moment of writing this review.

Overall, the scope, aims, intentions and general effort put into the game are quite great, and pixel animation quality and respective general "sex minigame" design are fine. However, the lack of general design vision and coherent design direction leads to a very weak practical implementation of otherwise good ideas. It's very much like the game has been made by a multiple non-connected people, randomly picking different aspects to program and design by their own volition, and then slapping it together into a single game without communication between each other.

I could've continue and extend my critique on particular designs of almost every aspect, every mechanics and every quest of the game (from animation transitions to sound design), but the review already seems too lengthy for that.

Firstly, if you are concerned about any bugs, I played on v 3.13 and did a blind, vanilla playthrough and experienced no major glitches or bugs. As long as you play to the game's intended script you should have a fine time.

Big Ass Studio aka Tiramisu is back with another corruption daily sim game and it's bigger, better, and bitchier than before. The corruptible girls expands not from just one to three, but the entire world with it's chaos plotline.

The story is basically become a facebook mod, steal photos to blackmail the girls and also leak porn to the public to make everyone collectively hornier. The plot is effective but the individual character interactions are lacking. Dialogue is brisk, sparse, and talking takes up a vital action point in the game so you almost never get a chance to see the progression of the girl's mind state as they fall deeper into the MC's hands. I generally prefer this kind of problem over having to wade through scenes of subpar smut writing, but this game could do with at least some lines by the girl after a sex session is complete for example. Game overall doesn't give you a chance to care about the characters - honestly it felt like the side characters were more developed than the three main girls. The netorare aspect is also very muted; it's almost a punchline in this game rather than anything with a heart-crushing core. I wouldn't expect any drama in that aspect when playing.

Gameplay is honestly not entertaining. The primary minigame is to inspect cgs from other games and AI art and determine if it's acceptable according to several rules. Think Papers Please but just with image content, and a lot more simple. I actually worked a similar job to what the MC does in this game and it perfectly captures the mind numbing, soul sucking experience of having to stare at that useless info and content for an entire shift (this is a bad thing). There's some satisfaction at getting things right but ultimately it's a huge time sink in the game and unavoidable because it generates money and fuels your blackmail portfolio. When you don't work, you complete sidequests by talking to side characters, unlock new areas and further the storylines of the main girls.

Navigation is highly time consuming and frustrating and you should get the teleporter as soon as it's available to purchase. Even then, walking and screen transitions eat up valuable time. Speaking of time, at each portion of the day you only have three actions before it transitions, and actions can take up more points then you expect - the game never gives any proper warning. On top of this, minor affairs from talking, and even entering a shop menu and exiting without buying, takes up an action point. Super frustrating for any minmaxxer and forces a very linear playstyle that railroads you away from exploring.

There's a large plethora of minigames offered that are fun to play once or twice, but in this genre's frustrating fashion you will have to grind a couple of them to proceed. Some of them are awkward to grasp what needs to be done but overall easy to complete once you get the task. I like the church singing minigame the most - very trombone champ-esque. The sex minigame is simply click hearts until they come. There's a version that's quicker than the other and I wish they were all at the same speed, but it's the version that you have to repeat that you have to do over and over again, which sucks.

So the gameplay is disappointing, with more tedium than good. Of course the draw here is the acutal hentai content, which is great, albeit some caveats.

H-scenes feature impressively large pixel animations that take up a good portion of the screen. The movement is variably stiff - some are great some worse than others. The detail and fluidity of all the scenes is a huge step up from the previous game, but a level below what was presented in NTRaholic's endgame onsen vacation scenes. Each girl gets six of these on average. There's also fullscreen animations, some pixel some drawn, and the main girls get 3 of these on average. Most side characters also get an animated sex scene, minimum, which was great to see. Unfortunately the girls who didn't get one were girls who I would have loved to see one for. Hopefully a DLC can rectify this. One thing I also appreciate is that the artstyle is a lot more cohesively directed than NTRaholic, where some cgs or art felt like was done by anyone who they could get their hands on. This comes up a little in the censor but not to the degree it was before, which is good.

My one gripe is that the generic moaning.mp3 is not only used in almost every scene no matter the character, but it's also the same audio from NTRaholic. After you're done, those voice clips will be etched into your brain. It was so bad you might consider muting it, but the main girls have their lines voiced so you miss out on that. I don't know if it's one voice actor doing 3 different voices, the lines voiced are sparse so I couldn't compare easily, but I wish there was more effort done for the audio of the hentai, this is the game's big miss.

Music is re-used from previous games, generic license free stuff you've heard in other games. There are two tracks that as far as I know, are original and really great which you'll hear plenty in the rhythm minigames.

Honestly it's hard to recommend this game but a full save is a little hard to navigate because the replay gallery is incomplete and you'll need to actually go into the game to see everything. So, you might as well go through the game on your own. If you're efficient it should take less than 5 hours.

Well, for me, the game is good but it has many serious bugs that stop the progress or reach the final. Of course the game has pros and cons

Pros: good art, good character design, the main minigame is interesting, fast and doesnt get you tired, the minigames from the church and animecom are good too and the sex scenes for the first time are really good

Cons: practically the story doesnt exist, the sex minigame (for the first time or maybe the 3 first time its ok, but then it become repetitive and you have to repeat it many times) and of course, all the hard stuck bugs that prevent progess or finish the game

good graphics overall, the story is a bit too fast? but if it was slow the pace of the ''fap'' would be delayed so for those who want to do that it was in an ideal point, the interactions you can have in the game are interesting, be it with ''MC'' or chaos or etc, the grinds in the game are easy enough for anyone to get through, the money system is also well balanced and not too difficult to obtain, overall I would say this game is very good even though the first game has its charm, for NTR lovers 10/10, sorry if it was a bit confusing English is not my native language.

There's definitely work on this game. But I feel like some ressources were wasted on things the player doesn't care, and affect the overall H-scenes (Like the Bus animation, well done, but completely useless, would have prefered better quality on Sex animations instead).

Good:
- The Animations are, for most part, pretty good.
- The gameplay loop is fine.
- The girls are cute.
- Chaos system isn't a bad idea

Meh:
- Unnecessary grind for Chaos/Minigames at the convention.
- Slow ass movement speed before you get the TP option.
- Money system is a tad tedious.
- "Evidence" photo farming is tedious and most make nonsense.

Bad:
- While some animations are very well done, others are... suspicious at best. Some positions clearly had way less polish than others, and the quality is all over the place. Some animations are really bad, like it's been made by different people.

- The girls, while cute, are forgettable, at best. As opposed to their last game, you don't have a "close relation" with the girls. By that, I mean there're no interactions with them or their husband/bf aside from 2 or 3 dialogues, and they don't have the talent of GB (NTRLegend) to make you feel the NTR without dialogues.
You corner them by collecting pictures, and they're forced into sex INSTANTLY.

- The secondary characters have 1 scene or 2, but idk... I feel like by having those scenes on characters we don't care, we lose so much on the Netori side, which was the main appeal (for me) for this game. How do I put this.... it's "spread too thin" amongst so many characters, the Netori feel unimpactful.
Hell, some secondary characters have more dialogues than the main one and we know more about their story lol.

- The biggest disappointment was once the girls are fully corrupted. You unlock a slider to show a "variant" of their animation.... but it's not. Only the face change (and that is very subtle), but the sex position are EXACTLY the same (90% of the time).
This is a HUGE downgrade compared to their last game, which at least made the effort to apply some variations.

- Oh, they already planned DLC, meaning that they knew from the start they wouldn't release the "complete" experience. I hate this mentality, even amongst traditionnal video game devs. But that's a personnal opinion on a heated topic, so you do you.


Overall, for all the hype they gathered, the game is just fine. it's not a bad experience, far from it, but I had better enjoyement with game who had less content (like one who came out last year, for exemple).

Problem for this game isn't the content, it definitely has content. But the quality of said content is not great. It's good at its best and very meh at its worst.

So here we are, with a 3/5 Star rating where I hoped it would have been a 4 or a 5. My expectations were too high, for a second time, with this studio. I won't get NTR'ed a third time =D

TLDR:
- Lot of content, albeit oscillating between very good and very meh, no rewards when you fully corrupt the girls (the "corrupted animations" are the excat same as the normal one, 90% of the time).
- We don't care about the girls, very few dialogues and no interaction aside from sex, dumb blackmail system, you don't feel the "gratification" of stealing a girl, their bf are inexistent.
- Useless grind (might be fixed)
- DLC incoming

Good H game. Average NTR game (at best).

I would say this is an upgrade from NTRholic.
The mechanic of this game is good and refreshing.
Though there is still bug here and there and its remind me of the first game that take a couple month to be completely fix but hey new team who knows yeah.
So i give 4/5 for now.
(Don't expect me to give decent review or anything just go play it and taste it for yourself)
Edit: holy shit it was fast they fix it less than a week
So yeah 5/5

I was hyped for this game. After loving demo so much, I waited for it. But its so buggy. Minigames should be challenging yes, but this is not a challenge; its just BUGGY!
No endings? In final release? This should be a crime...
Good art, good characters, good character development; bad gameplay and buggy rushed release. My review is for v3.0.14.

[ 3 .1 .0 ]
Tiramisu seems to rush the release on January 17 because it is when NTRAholic first release. But at the cost of bugs. However I will set aside the bug and focus on the game.

It is fun and fresh, but it can be better. Here is the good thing about this game:
1. Multiple Heroine
2. More Side Heroine
3. Good concept
4. No time limit and easy to grind money

However there's the downside:

1. The game have no actual ending
2. Some useless feature
3. They didn't mention anything about Yaoi
Overall, it is good but compared to NTRAholic, it is downgrade

Honestly, when I saw the first images, this game was on my top wishlist, the game I was most looking forward to, even though the developer kept postponing the release date.
But after about 1-2 hours of playing, finishing the wife's route, I felt like I wasn't interested because they didn't give me the feeling of wanting to replay, only 4 main poses, I didn't even know how to replay the original BJ, HJ scene, I gave up, I hate a bus and the corruption system is quite boring.

As a big fan of NTRholic, here are my main critiques of 'The Censor':

1. Boring/annoying job loop (worse than Sex Kitten Sims )
2. Unfocused progression. By half-assedly dividing attention between multiple girls, I found I cared about none of them.
3. Sex mechanics felt less perverse. They look polished, yet feel less 'free' than the Chibi system/mini-games from NTRholic.

Overall, 2 stars, didn't even bother to finish this game

I'm not normally one for this but I love the .pixel games in basically any form and here my adoration was played against me.
Even excusing the fact the game is held together by silly string the basis for the corruption netori stuff is just kinda bland here. The scenes are fappable but the corruption aspect of it somehow feels weak where it didn't in NTRHolic.

In term of game progression and story, ntraholic is better.

The action point system and having to walk everywhere just to find an NPC that is relevant is annoying.

A map like Winter memories or Inari would have been better to travel to places/npc

AP shouldn't be used when interacting with NPC/things that doesn't progress the game.

H-scene feels kind of empty, you do it 3 times each instance and after the 4th instance, you are kind of done with that heroine.

Boring gameplay loop for mostly just a gallery of images and dumbed down Papers, please gameplay. Go play Imperial Gatekeeper instead.

Also deserves a 1 star just for trying to open a webpage when the game is closed.

Oh boy, where do I start. I would probably give this review an extra one or two stars because there's actually some great things in this game but getting to them is the most intolerable thing possible because this game is seemingly designed to waste as much time as possible.
When you start off you walk at a snails pace, don't worry though you can buy shoes to make you go about 10% faster and buy them one more time for another 10%! And if you press shift you can go an additional 5% faster. Which means you will literally be spending 30+ seconds walking in one direction, to interact with one person to walk another 30s back the other way. Not too bad until you realise you have to do this around about 50-100 times in a game
The bus, now this one deserves a special place in hell. To take the bus you need to.
1) walk to the bus, which from your flat takes about 30s due to 2 loading zones to get there. 2) call the bus, which takes about 4 seconds for the game to play an animation. 3) select the bus station which takes about 4 seconds. 4) click confirm only once this animation plays, any sooner and it won't work. 5) watch the same bus animation for another 4 seconds. Congratulations you can now do what you wanted! Just remember you have to do this again to get back and each day doesn't last more than about 5 minutes on average.
4) H-scenes have their own mini game where you collect hearts, but you have to wait about 10 secondss between each 4 hearts. Oh and you need to do that 9 times per scene, with all girls requiring this to happen 3 times, for 3 girls.

So how does this total up? Let's say you are corrupting the convention girl. You have to take the bus and walk all the way to the convention room. This takes about a minute and a half. Then you need to play the mini game in which you spend 3 seconds clicking hearts and then another 10 waiting, 9 times. That's another minute and a half. Then you need to get back home. 4 minutes and a half of either doing nothing or holding a button. Now do it several more times!

I could go on but I think you get the picture, I beat the game in a few hours. But I could have cut that atleast in half if not for the unskipable unactionable animations that would be laughed out of any real game. The CGs are okay, but that's the only thing tolerable
