RPGM - The Corruption of the Village [v0.4.6] [Inatari Tales]

Excelent game, the art is incredible, the shadow images are amazing. The style and slow corruption of the girls in the game are really good balanced. The dedication of the author to the game is notorius and is easy to see that he enjoy doing what he do.
I really enjoy playing the game from zero every release and slowly enjoy the improvement of the art and scene update after update.
The only problem about this game is the lack of manpower behind, making slow the progress in the story. If the author could have more people involved in the game to increase the speed of updates and size of every update, the game and progress would be excelent.

Very good netorare game. I'll probably update the review to 5 stars in the future. The mix of rpgm pixelated sex and cgs is nice. I'm very curious if this will end up with every heroine having a specific man or more a group/gangabangs scenario. I'd prefer the first option but I'll follow the game development in any case. Good luck to the dev!

If you like Henteria Chronicles, specifically the third entry, you will like this game. I didnt finish the current patch but I played a decent bit. There aren't as many free roam events as I would like, at least to the point I got but everything I have seen has been good so far. There are a few grammar errors but nothing that isn't egregious.

Slow burn style with some lewd scenes sprinkled in to keep leading you on.

The only thing being cucked in this game is my free time.

The Bad:
Prepare for an RPGMaker game with pacing so glacial that by the time you've gotten to the 'NTR' part, you've probably forgotten that you're playing an NTR game and your boner burned out hours ago. Everything in this game is slow: picking up items, entering areas, and having basic conversations. If you're anything like me, you'll give it a chance for an hour or two, but then you'll start skipping. You'll be skipping, skipping, skipping, likely horrified at the colossal amounts of text dumped on you for so little return.

This game endlessly baits you with tension and buildup that has absolutely no payoff, and the entire game is like that: no payoff, no catharsis. Hours of text and dialogue, only for there to not be a single scene currently in this game that's worth a fap, and isn't that just the greatest single failure of a porn game? To not even be worth a cursoary fap?

This game also has free-roam elements. Early on, the game even says, "If you continue now, you'll skip the free roam events," encouraging the player to explore a lot before progressing to the next day or quest. It has a fairly large town map that takes a long time to explore, and there might be... one event... on average every 30 minutes. I spent so long just wandering around a very tedious and empty map. It was a complete and utter waste of time, 90% of the time. This game really should have just been a linear visual novel; it's not utilizing the unique aspects of a 2D top-down roaming game in any way. However, even if this game were a visual novel, it'd still have slow pacing.

It also makes the criminal mistake of not having any sluttier side characters to pepper in additional sexual moments while the two main girls are a slow burn.Well, the game does technically have two slutty side characters, Juvia and Akane, but all they do is the exact same blowjob animation approximately ten times throughout the current patch. That's another thing this game has a big issue with; it's so repetitive with so little advancement in the story or plot. This doesn't feel like a game that's taking its time and building things up; it's just running around in circles. There's one decent scene with a character called Faye early on, but it's so detached from you and the main story that it didn't really do anything for me.

This is also supposed to be a corruption NTR game, but man, am I just not vibing with these characters? Yui and Marin, being the two main girls, seem to be fairly devoid of actual depth and personality. The focus is never on developing the bond between the protagonist and the girls but always on doing random mundane actions around the world or some sinister plot that I don't particularly care about. 80% of the dialogue feels like filler; you can never get immersed or feel like you know these girls as people, and the male perverts in this game are so comical that it's hard to take them seriously as they spew fountains of cum.

The Good:
Now I will give some credit where it's due. I think the sound design for the sex scenes was good, and the overall look and artistic detail of the world are some of the best I've seen in an RPGMaker game. The CG art can be hit or miss, with later additions definitely being of higher quality than the first pictures. It definitely doesn't feel like there's enough of it, though. Some events have just used animated RPGMaker sprites, and I'm never going to be able to fap to that.

The Future:
It's too late to turn this game into a visual novel, but it isn't too late to cut tons of empty free-roaming sections that have no content in them. It isn't too late to reduce or rework the worst and most boring parts of this game. Even simple things like there's one segment where there's a cutscene in the lake, then the cutscene ends and you have to manually get out of the lake before the cutscene continues... why not just... connect those two scenes together?

I'd definitely sprinkle in 4–5 new strong sexual events throughout the current story that are similar to the first Faye sex scene but more involved. This game needs a big event every 20–30 minutes at least, and it's easy to add them in such a way that they can be accessed with both new and old saves, with some creative usage of variables.

In regards to improving character writing, I want you to tell me something about Yui and Marin. What are their motives? What do they desire in life? What do they do in their spare time? Do they have hobbies? Interests? Sure, their profiles say they like reading and gardening, but they never talk about it or do these things. The game spends such a long time with these characters but says so little about them, how they think, and what they feel. Personally, for an NTR game, that's just not going to work. How am I supposed to be 'NTR' when the main characters are my sister, whom I don't know well, and some girl across the street that I'm kind of friends with but not that close with? Having a silent protagonist is 'hard mode' in regards to this because you have absolutely nothing for the girls to play off, but it's not impossible.

Summary:
I highly recommend you don't play this right now if you value your free time. But if the developer has a keen ear for criticism and can improve this game, I don't see why this review couldn't go from 2/5 to 4/5 and become a recommendation one day.

Very well made, great visuals and most importantly it's not tedious and the story feels fleshed out. Art is great, and would have liked to see more of the non pixelated art of the characters but hey when it looks great. 1/1000

I like solid plots that are not rushed. Would have liked more of mc mom scenes, but in consideration that this is still not finished I would advise the game maker to not overlook to put more mom ntr scenes in the complete version. Aside from this, I also like the pixel scenes! There are not many games that use this but instead only focus on cg. I say that by using both pixel scenes and cg you add much more to the game, and I would like to praise the game maker for this and the interesting plot and gameplay. In the beginning I thought: hmm, too many characters. But each character proved to be very useful and play a part in the corruption part of the game, so these characters don't feel out of place. There is also a risk in the future that I saw in other rpg games, where they would add, more and more characters and these characters impact would be so low and would be considered more like a filler for the plot, but I am sure that the author will handle this

Great game. Supporting it on patreon since the beginning.

If you like a slow corruption NTR game - this is exactly the type of stuff you've been searching for. A nice build up, a logical story (as far as logic in a fantasy world can be applied), likeable and unlikeable characters that add elements to the story, and drawings that get better with every update.

Inatari has a very good transparency and is open for criticism.

If you don't like NTR; this game is obviously nothing for you.

Overall one of the best NTR games being produced right now imo.
Great job Inatari!

Under-rated game. 3.6 is lower than what it deserves, and reading the reviews I see a lot of 1/5 for reasons that I cannot understand.

This game is simply great if you like NTR. Yes it's slow in the beginning, because it tries (and succeed really well) at building relationship between characters.

NTR is about YOU feeling cheated on. If you play as a character and 10 minutes in without much relationship building the girl the game tries to imply you should be with, has sex with another guy, then you won't feel that. And thus the 'NTR' part of the game didn't work out. It's really what makes netorare and it's important. NTR is not just cheating, you need to feel the emotional damage.

This game takes its time for you to know the different other girls, you see them in your childhood, have activities together, etc, then you all grow up, they become *beautiful*, some imply they are into you, and with time and building you just grow attached. It's like a flower blossoming ready to get picked, and that's where the NTR is ready to take place and make you uncomfortable

This is a real NTR game, if you don't like that type of game don't play it, no need to put 1 star in retaliation.

Also, the women in this game really are beautiful btw, and they look original.

Every single door is a loading screen. Every 2 lines of dialogue is interrupted by those animated RPG emoticon bubbles which cannot be skipped. Run speed is slow. Game is entirely linear, but it still makes you walk in-between scenes instead of warping you in the scene. Makes me wonder, why let the player walk around at all if there is never a choice of destination? It's like a VN, except instead of nicely drawn portraits and backgrounds, you get to stare at RPG pixel art for 95% of the time. This game would instantly go up one, maybe even two stars if it was a VN game.

When something finally erotic happens, it's a coin flip on whether it will be actual CG or pixel art. The art isn't bad, it's just not to my tastes. To its credit, the one thing that makes the game redeemable is the commitment to building tension. One of the few corruption games that actually gives the corruption time to breathe. Some people will confuse story pacing with gameplay pacing, and use the slow story pacing as an excuse for this game's terrible gameplay pacing.

If you still want to put yourself through this, here's a summary of the prologue so you don't have to spend an hour on it:

I feel bad for being so harsh, since this dev is clearly putting a lot of work in. This isn't a lazily made game, you won't be scammed if you support this dev. But honestly, the game was hard for me to sit through. If this game is updated to remove all the walking and all the emojis, I'll come back and update this review.

Review of [v0.3.2]

Yapping of the Village 0.4.6 review
Dude's taking the piss with the progression speed.
Character development inevitably includes an ongoing plot, which is completely void in the game so far.
Walls and Walls of text, filler scenes and bad execution of those.
H is completely unenjoyable at this point.

This game is wonderful
I never thought that I would enjoy an rpg-tex based game (few cg) so much
I enjoyed it so much that I am looking for similar games! While I was always rendering oriented
The story is wonderful, I really enjoy the story and storytelling
Relationships are extremely attractive and strong, I fell in love with girls and milfs in the game
The writing is great

The models are very attractive and beautiful, especially when they are red
The atmosphere is great
The tension of the game is very high, you often get stress and anxiety, but in a sweet way
It is slowburn . slowburn is very important
and etc ( In any other way, this game is great )

An important point: Some people give it a low score, probably because of the slow speed in childhood, but in my opinion, this is not a fault. It is worth it. Forming relationships little by little is worth it. Later, when mc grow up, you will understand what I mean.

v0.3.1

Pros:

Art - unique in for what it's going for from the NTR's aspect of things, reminiscent of older 2dcgs w/ rpg maker. With NTR games/animations you usually get over the top voluptuous women to borderline l*lis, this game however w/ the heroines not too busty just the right amount of boobage/ass. Ugly bastards unavoidable, no tanned/blonde male that cucks MC in this one (yet?)

Build-up - Dev is doing good in terms of building blocks from H-scene to H-scene. Slowly teasing/leading up to the eventual corruption of the main heroines.

H-scenes/animations - gifs basically w/ the added flavor text that prolong the scene until ejaculation. Hoping dev adds variation of the scene(s) where heroines are left a sopping mess rather than cut away and let the SFX just allude to the sex contuation and black screen.

Cons:

Plot - Typical corruption RPG, with the Dev trying to make it more elaborate than it needs to be. Don't get me wrong some scenes were pretty interesting from the Camp Event to Dukall's Tomb. But its overreaching (imo) seems like the Dev is doing it just so it doesn't feel like an empty CG Gallery that people ask full saves for a pump and dump.

Gameplay - pretty slow, even w/ Always Dash: ON, its a get to Point A to Point B type of game. While not horrible it expands on the player explore the town to see some side stories w/ their own corruption which will eventually tie their own way to the story (probably)

Neutral:

Overworld Sprites: Hoping Dev doesn't abandon Overworld Sprites sex acts. The prologue really caught my eye w/ what I was hoping for. Understandable if they stick to 2DCGs though.

Conclusion:

I fucking hate NTR, I really do. I felt disgusted after the 2nd hour of playing through this game I had to put it down, leaving me w/ a headache. The dev however is doing a good job of not holding their punches and leaning full on into the NTR genre. Props to him/her and hoping they decide to release other games with no NTR as I'm curious to see what they would lean on to whatever theme/genre they decide on in the future.

Reviewed as of v0.3.1:

Story: 8/10
Art (Sprites)7/10
Art (CG): 8.5/10
Gameplay: 6.5/10

It's worth keeping tabs on the updates for this. Personally, I'm going to wait a few months before I play this again as right now there isn't too much content in the game.

Quite similar to Hentria Chronicles but has a mix of both sprites and CG so it stands out on its own.

One thing to note is that I played this with MTool to speed up walking around. If I didn't use MTool, I reckon I would have given this game a 3/5 instead as the movement would have felt tedious.

Love the fact that there are hidden scenes that you can come across or miss throughout the map.

I don't know if it's planned but it would be cool to see the aftermath of the scenes if you revisited the area shortly after the H scene.

Props to the dev for the hard work. Looking forward to seeing what further updates bring!

Rewriting my review since it has been a while and new updates got released (it's on update 0.4 right now)

I'll try to keep it brief since i was get carried on writing these things, this game is awesome and it's one of the best NTR games releasing right now (if not the best)

It takes a slowburn approach and really wants you to get immersed in its world and characters, it's very impressive, of course it's clearly amateurish but it's also clearly full of passion.

I really like the use of RPG Maker here, some people will probably play this and wish it was a Visual Novel, since the game is very linear and story heavy and is still struggling a bit to implement some meaningful and juicy side content (more on that later), but i think what shines here is the use of the engine to create atmosphere. The mapping is really interesting, a multi layered very detailed village, it's paired with a great lighting work, i'm not a big RPGM expert so i can't really know if it's a basic thing done solely by a plugin or something but most RPGM games don't have lighting this atmospheric so it's a positive for me. There is also a great choice of music, most of the music here is quite different from what you usually hear in RPGM games, they are still free tracks and some of them do repeat in other games, but most of them i heard for the first time in this game and they fit the mood REALLY well. There is also an attention to making the characters look good and expressive, through the use of detailed sprites (which i will comment more about a bit later), speech bubbles and little animations, some people might be a bit annoyed about them if they wanna skip all the dialogue and only care about seeing the hentai since they slow down the skipping a bit.

The erotic aspect here is awesome, it takes a slow approach and makes sure to create sexual tension before getting into the action, with a lot of teasing scenes, voyeur scenes, groping scenes. It focuses a lot on the heroines' discovery of erotic acts and how they react to it, i really like how it tackles the sexual tension, the heroines start to gradually notice how their group of friends deal with their sexualities and how the old men in the village see them and they react to it, all while also discovering their own sexuality, all while something sinister happens in the background with some of the most important men of the village and slowly these two things start to entangle. The visual aspect of the erotica is also great, the game takes inspiration from another really famous RPGM game and goes for the route of doing pixel art through the sprite work so every sex scene in the game is animated, however, important scenes involving the main heroines have drawn CGs made by the developer, and i gotta say the art is really awesome and only gets better with each update as the developer gets more and more ambitious.

The only big criticism i have about this game is the inclusion of side content, there is not a lot of side content and most of it is kinda uninteresting both in the way it's included and also as erotic scenes, they just feel like afterthoughts, i won't go too much in depth about it, it's a really small part of the game and it will probably change with later updates since the developer is still figuring things out and has already received proper criticism.

Gotta also give some praise to the developer, Inatari, so far they have been really dedicated to this project, every week posting progress logs about the game and some of their art practices, and every month they release an update that adds a least 40min of playtime to the game, they have mentioned they have a busy life but still manage to update the game monthly and share news weekly, they're also really open to criticism and doesn't shut down anyone who write their thoughts about their game (of course, if they are being respectful).

So, yeah, game is awesome, i love it, i have been following the development of this game for quite some time now, gotta mention this is the first game that made me support it's developer directly, so yeah it's really special to me.

This game is a master class of how NOT to make a rpgm game. From what i have played(until i gave up because everything in this game is so god damn tedious to do) the overall story looks ok and could be good.

But damn everything in this game is made to annoy you. Slow walk speed, tedious chores , everything has to have a cut to black/sound playing(skipping between time cycles takes 5 seconds because for some reason there has to be a sound that plays and a cut to black). It all feels like time padding and it gets annoying really fast.

It also overuses "cutscenes" where events play out, not scenes mind you just characters talking to each other. And on top of that 80% of that dialog is useless filler conversation that has no impact on the story or world building. You could remove all that and you have the same story, that's just how bad this is.

There is 0 discovery it's all on rails with 0 input.

This whole game is a VN , but instead of being only a VN in rpgm the dev thought how can i make this worse so had added tedious chores and walking.
On top of that constant cut to blacks and pointless conversations emojis and all of them are unskippable.

Percentage wise the game looks like this:
10% black screen
10% Walking
65% Pointless conversations / annoying pointless chores
10% Plot advancing conversations
5% Actual CGs
0% discovering events by exploring the map
0% any kind of choice

TLDR: Could be a good story but the gameplay is so tedious that i'm not willing to find out. The dev simply does not respect your time, 85% of this game is just filler to make the content look bigger then it actually is.

i would give this game a 0 if i could that's just how horrible this "gameplay" is, there is no redeeming factor for a game with this kind of "gameplay", it doesn't matter whether the story or the cg's are any good when you have to suffer to get trough it. This all can be fixed but it seems the dev goes out of his way to make the game this way.

Solid work in progress. The setup for the NTR is good, and I like the speed at which it is currently progressing. The art is great, and the scenes are hot.

It seem to be progressing to and end with the girl being sluts for every guy in town which is not my favorite. But the scenes are hot enough to keep me coming back.

The game had some initial lag and clunkiness at the start, but it has noticeably gotten better with each update. The dev has made progress with fine tuning it to work with the rpgm engine.

This plays pretty much how I want my rpgm games to play, its mainly about the story and not playing an actual game, which is good. If I want a game, I would not be looking for porn.

Overall I'm excited to see future updates.

Edit: After playing the latest update, this is one of my top favorite games so far. I really enjoyed the setup when they visited the grandpa. I kinda wish the whole game was just that vacation, lol.

I've found the slow burn route to work out rather well so far. There's real progress at a decent pace without feeling far fetched. There's a good mix of full art (2dCG) and sprite scenes that let the player leave something to the imagination. MC isn't an asshole or blatantly oblivious which helps the quality of the game and the story tremendously.

A slow build to not much at all. Needs content, and work on pacing. A good idea, but it's all backstory so far. A scene that really drives home the agonizing pace is where you tidy up the storage room. The game takes several seconds to do anything at all after you click on a spot, and nothing happens after. A second scene that exemplifies the pacing is when you need to go to yui's house, then the tavern. You head to yui's house, only to have a 2 sentence message from her father that she's not there, but the tavern. Narratively, why? Just have the mission be "meet yui at the tavern," you could easily have been told by yui that she's at the tavern. The super slow walking pace made everything really drag, that scene especially.

This is not a game about rushing to have sex. All dialogues, scenes and relationships are meaningful. If you observe carefully, you will find a lot of fun and you will really like these girls, and all of this can make the final explosion more exciting.
advantage:
The game has frequent updates
very good art
The animation is rich in details (shoulders, eyes, mouth shape, breath)
A complete and atmospheric world, interesting character settings
It has a fairly complete prologue and a large number of character dialogues that make people more integrated into the world view.
shortcoming:
(Version 0.3.2 has been improved)The erotic plot has a beginning and no end, perhaps to preserve the imagination, but it becomes incomplete because of this.

Very solid game! I don't have much to say, if you like netorare, play it, you'll like it. I disagree with the last review, I don't want this to be finished soon or it'll be a huge waste of build-up. I hope this will be a long game with a lot of updates. A good netorare can't be done quickly, for that there are doujinshi, a game needs well-established relationships and this game is doing it perfectly.

Can't wait for the next update. Keep it up!
