RPGM - The Corruption of the Village [v0.5.4] [Inatari Tales]

So first of all:
I’d come across this game a few times before, but based on the screenshots the art didn’t seem that good, so I never tried it. But now I’ve played through it, and it’s been a long time since I was this positively surprised by a game.


Let’s start with the negatives:


When I played without going through the prologue at the start, a lot of characters stopped appearing later in the game, and I even had to download a save file to continue because one of the characters I needed to interact with for a quest didn’t show up.
In the first half of the game, the scenes feel a bit lacking. The same few in-game animations are reused in many scenes, so that part feels a bit empty.
At the start of the game, it’s clear that the artist was still relatively inexperienced. (If it were up to me, I’d probably rework the beginning entirely.)
Because of this, the early part feels a bit slow and dragged out, especially since the storytelling is very detailed and carefully built up.


Positives:


The art in the scenes improves a lot by the end and becomes really beautiful.
The world, the characters, and the story are very well developed and engaging.
It’s hard to find a good game in this genre that isn’t just thrown together in Ren’Py in a cheap way to milk subscribers as fast as possible.


The game pretty long already. It took me about 11–12 hours to complete, and it’s very rare for me to read absolutely everything in a game, especially when the storytelling is this detailed and long, but here it was a solid 10/10.
I didn’t encounter any bugs apart from the one mentioned above.
This game is a real gem, and I can happily recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre, because it will definitely keep them hooked.
(If I were the dev, I’d replace the screenshots, because I’m sure a lot of people skip over the game because of them.)

Incredible NTR RPG with Deep Corruption Routes!

The Corruption of the Village delivers everything an NTR fan could want: slow, emotional corruption, great pixel art, and animated erotic scenes that hit hard. The writing is dark but meaningful, and the RPG elements give it real gameplay depth beyond just adult content. Every update adds more polish, new scenes, and better character development. If you enjoy tension-filled seduction, betrayal, and choice-driven adult storytelling — this is top-tier. Easily one of the best in its genre.

The is the best NSFW game I've ever played, the story is amazing, and a bit slow which I like very much, also the art is freaking amazing, it has its own style and it's . Overall this game is definitely 10/10, if you like NTR, Corruption and the story is not rushed this game is definitely for you. Additionally thanks to the creator of this game for making such an amazing game, keep up the good work and I'm looking forward for more updates

This one is unfortunately poor. I like the idea of the corruption of the girls being a slow burn, but in order for that to work you need to make the characters interesting and the scenes they're in appealing. That is not the case here. Characters are basically stereotypical innocent girls and the MC is a naive idiot who misses everything. From then on you can imagine the rest. It all basically feels a drag, with dozens of scenes that really add little to nothing to the story and take your time with meaningless wandering. Writing is pretty mediocre as well.

Art is poor in my book, even though there are some improvements as the game advances; animations are very bad even after the improvements, so the whole beauty and technical aspect of it doesn't work. I also found a few bugs, but not too many.

So, all in all, I don't think this one is worth the time.

Haven't felt the need to review anything until now. This game is exactly what I've been looking for from an NTR game since Boy Hero Ken.
The slow burn works perfectly for it, slowly revealing more and more of what the girls get up to.
Highly recommended.

If you're planning to play this game, I suggest you skip the prologue, which is about the childhood of the main character, because the prologue is one of the worst I've seen in any RPGM game. Almost nothing happens and you have to walk around pointlessly and read a lot of unnecessary dialog. I'm not even sure if there are actually animated sex scenes in this game. It's been 30 minutes and I really don't feel like continuing to play. It's sad because the game looked really good.

Review based on update v0.5b

ART: Excellent art! There are a few inconsistencies and scenes with less than "excellent" quality, but still good quality. [9/10]

STORY: The corruption story for some characters is not ultra convincing, but is above average for the genre. [7.5/10]

SEX SCENES: Very nice sex positions, with above average animation quality. Also, compared to other games of the genre, more scenes happens when the cucked guy is nearby, leading to very kinky situations. [8.5/10]

SOUND: One of the few things in the game that is not that great. Pretty average. [6.5/10]

GAMEPLAY: A somewhat weird-shaped map to walk around. But nothing too annoying. [7.5/10]

TECHNICAL: For an under-development game, very good. No crashes or game-braking bugs encountered. [10/10]

So far, one of my favorite adult games! My overall score: 8.5/10

Whether you're in the shoes of the MC watching things slip through your fingers or the FMC slowly getting pulled into temptation—the emotional tension is pretty nice. The corruption is slow , as for my taste is the perfect lenght, making everything hit harder. If you crave that slow-burn, emotionally charged NTR where everyone feels just a little too real, this one absolutely delivers.

I think 3 Stars is pretty fair for what it is.

Pro:
Unique style
Character design
updates have a good amount of play time

Con:
RPG Maker not really needed. The game doesn't make use of it.
Girls behavior
Way to much unnecessary text
Way to much slow burn
Adult scenes filled with way to much text
Story moved from Pro to Con

It's a good game if you just turn off your brain and beat your meat.

I think its got great potential. It is a bit tedious and the story takes forever to develop and actaully get some NTR to reach completion. I enjoyed it but it takes up way too much time to get anywhere. Very redundant and I wish it had more freedom to explore and encounter the NTR scenes. And OF COURSE MORE NTR. Not enough here yet.

I really like the unique design style of the characters and scenes; it gives the game a distinctive touch. When it comes to portraying eroticism, this type of art helps a lot, which is not very common—it's rare for a specific art style to complement NTR so well, especially this particular type of NTR.

I'm a fan of games in this genre taking their time to gradually corrupt the main girls instead of rushing their development, and this game does that very well. The fact that there are scenes scattered throughout the map makes exploration and investigation intriguing, encouraging the player to engage more with the world.

Additionally, the different types of betrayal add variety to the story—not just affecting the protagonist but also those around him.

There are a few minor issues, such as the overuse of the green-haired and purple-haired girls. Their stories aren’t particularly engaging because they lack the progressive corruption aspect that makes other characters, like the protagonist’s mother or his friends, much more compelling. However, this isn’t something that significantly detracts from the game, so it’s still okay overall.

Look, I'm gonna be honest here. I don't even know what the story is about. I just started from the update 0.48 to check it out.

I'm just giving this 4* for a single scene. And it's not 5* because since the focus of this game is the hidden NTR, it ended up falling short of being one of my favorites scenes of all time.

But even then, it is so fucking hot for me that I lost count how many times I jerked off to that.

Spoiler for the scene is:

Don't believe the positive reviews, this game is a compilation of the worst things that an RPGM game can have.
This product NEEDS to be remade as a Ren'Py VN, which is impossible because up to 80% of the scenes in this game are trashy RPGM sprite animations. An example of a somewhat good idea killed by horrible game design. Save your time.

The game is mostly linear which plays like a story with very little choice other than navigation but the scenes and writing are excellent.
The viewpoint of the cuck is not a popular perspective so I'm glad this game does that and I believe it's well done.
The art is some times a little inconsistent (just slightly) and the way the artist draws semen is a little strange. It looks more like they were rained on by white water instead of actually getting ejaculated on.
In general the gameplay is very smooth and was a very enjoyable experience. 10/10

This game feels like the rough draft for what could be a very good game, which is unfortunately the best descriptor I can give for it right now.

The gallery is somewhat sparse, even considering how many scenes are given to the "main" heroines. The time system is clunky compared to some others. The few free roaming events are at best somewhat titillating and at worst kind of boring. And the cutscenes, good lord the cutscenes. If you're going to put cutscenes before the free-roam portion long enough that you have to put a save prompt in the middle of it, perhaps it's time to stop and wonder if an RPGMaker cutscene actually needs to be that long.

tl;dr,
The Good

• Art style
• Animation quality

The Bad

• Free-roam in its current state is somewhat sparse beyond collecting Memory Points for a few extra scenes of the main heroines.
• Time progression system is somewhat clunky.
• Cutscenes that, while plot-relevant, drag on to the point where I wonder if this RPGMaker NTR story is suddenly going to become a 90-hour sidequest-filled JRPG about adventuring across the world to kill gods.

I love it when great games take a lot of time to finish. This game however SUCKS. Hours of boring walking around and barely no progression at all. It's fucking tedious AF. Art is good but not as godly as people make it out to be. This is overall pretty mediocre to outright bad. Very poor game design, to stretch out this game into hours and hours of boring gameplay instead of creating 1 hour of fun.

I was initially attracted to the arts of two female MCs in first few events but I realized later that those arts were from AI and dev appears to be unable to reproduce those arts. His hand-made arts have been really amatuerish and not improving at all. Animation is dull and lousy at best. Like those arts, its story seemed to be interesting at first but quickly repeats itself every update without much interesting setting. The only question I am interested in at this point is "For how many years does dev want to prolong the three stories of already-boring relationships?"

This game has very slow corruption which is done perfectly. If you want a quick fap this game is not for you. If you want a game with slow corruption and unique type of cgs, definitely give this a go!

If you like basic, poorly written stories that move at a glacial pace and make little sense and you like only 1/4 of the erotic scenes to be actually represented by art in your games and not just 8 pixels moving, then this is the game for you! For me, I feel like I completely wasted a couple of hours by "playing" this and giving it a chance. I would strongly recommend avoiding this game.

In short, it's like henteria chronicles, but slightly less interesting and a tiny bit more cursed. On the bright side, I've tried playing it before and it definitely improved a lot

Can't really distinguish the good from the bad here, it's all mixed.
For example, although slightly cursed, the cgs are very good, but the 2d character models and animations with them are really not.

The story is... well.. it exists and moves the things forward. Not great, not terrible ©

The two main female characters are likable, but sometimes there's too much focus on other characters (like the green haired one) that I can't give less fucks about and I just end up skipping through

Oh, and there are waaaay too many solo scenes with the old wanking hobo guy from the shack. Thank god they are not cgs

So, 3 stars overall +1 star for improvements. Looking forward to finding it when it's finished
