    The game is technically a visual novel, but instead of regular VN where you can see the background and various characters, most of the time this game just dim both behind a wall of texts. All story scenes and contexts were locked behind the wall of texts, it was like I'm reading a book rather than playing a VN. Not a Cup of Coffee to a person with slight Dyslexia like me.

    Art style is quite good and polished, this i like the most. No motion? It's completely fine, but H-scene for each character was reused too many times. To those who read a considerable number of hentai VNs or Nukiges like me, even if you see new sex scenes, you would still skip, cuz' you would be already too familiar with those lines already.

    Gameplay is all about clicking and clicking, battle is auto attack, all you do is waiting for the pink Charge bar to fill up then hit Combo, that's all. There's no buying and selling any battle gears, only buying 1 potion from 1 heroine just to cheat death. So yeah, the game cannot be considered as an RPG, everything is extremely simple, lighthearted, some people may like this.

    Grind is not too tedious compared to some shitty games i had played. Tedious but won't take you long to fill the girls' intimacy and naughty bar, as the more demon level you get, the more of those values you can earn.

    Story is ok, so far i find nothing impressive. The game was made like a pictured book with a lot of texts, which means i need to read them again and again to grasp more of the story's ideas. But alas, again not my Cup of Coffee ==". So i won't rate much about story and i leave this to other bookworms for better review (hope there would be).

    Judging from the UI and UX of this game, it's very smooth, close to no bug or lag whatsoever. From all of the above, I can feel the Devs' enthusiasm in making this game. But i hope, in the future, Daijyobi Institute could make more games that's not simply a book like this one.

    I rate 4 stars overall since the game is entertaining enough, not that bad like some reviews stated. I'm guessing perhaps they played this game with the expectation that this game would have acted like an RPG game. From my own verdict, this game may be still worth your time.

    But... no replay value.

    this is more a VN that anything. Sometimes if feels more a clicker that anything, there little grind per se but is just become monotone very fast. You could hold ctrl to skip events and you probably won't be missing something relevant that support the scenes itself

    the scenes are good, and on top are uncensored and there variety of them to give it 3 stars

    Games in the Ero game Genre either need good sex scenes, a good story or a good gameplay to convince. This game has nothing of it. The Story is boring, the art looks terrible and effortless and the gameplay is not just boring but even annoying . Its basically a click, grind, skip. What do i mean by that? Each girl has 2 bars... Affection and Naughtiness... the amount you need to unlock a new scene gets higher everytime you acchieve a new one ... and you are forced to rewatch the same scene at some point 10 times in order to unlock the new one...

    All in all pretty boring.

    Couldn't decide between 3 or 4 stars, chose 4 because my initial verdict was 3.5 stars but honestly the game isn't bad, especially compared to many other projects I've seen here. Having said that:

    PROS:
    • Good art, as all the titles from this circle (check them out btw).
    • Passable story, not brilliant by any account but not bad.
    • Nice translation from Kagura.
    • Had a bug-free experience.
    CONS:
    • Gameplay is stupidly grindy and point-and-click based,game feels like a VN. Ended up using Cheat Engine to speed upn the process
    • Recycled scenes, you get 3 slight variations but it gets old soon.
    • No animation.

    Good art but not animated, story is enjoyable enough but the ending is handled poorly in my opinion. H-scenes have a pretty good variety fetish wise. It's essentially a kinetic novel with some boring and unnecessary mini-games to slow progression.

    Resource management is just a time waster with no way to actually lose, the quest battle is a simplistic auto-battler with uninteresting gear options eventually unlocked, not only is it boring but it feels pointless as no matter how well your team is setup all it will do is allow you to unlock the next event faster and there's no time limit to begin with!.

    It's not.. bad, but it's one of those games where I really think it would have benefited if less time and effort were placed on creating grindy systems and were instead used to really accentuate the actual meat of the game—the relations and H scenes.

    The game boils down to mindlessly clicking to farm numbers so that each day you can eat one seed and grow more powerful. The problem is, this isn't really reflected outside of "Lv 1 - 0/10", so on and so forth. I found myself just wasting day after day doing a quest that was entirely automatic, crafting potions; and once I had enough seeds/money, I did the same thing for relations with the girls.

    Which dulled my brain so badly I eventually closed it out without completing it, because the return didn't really feel worth it. Sex scenes boiled down to clicking a button and suddenly being thrown into a small little scenario, one that would repeat 2-3 times before moving on to the next relation grind step where you'd do it all over again.

    The art is really good, though. I know I'm sounding VERY negative for a game I'm giving three stars to, but it's mainly because this just isn't my type of game. I don't mind grind when the payout is worth it, but this game felt particularly lacking.

    tl;dr: If you don't mind grinding, it's a nice, small game to waste a few hours on, but don't expect anything crazy or mindblowing.

    The art of this game is good hecc. Some say gameplay is boring but for me it's fine since my goal is just to get those CG and dont want to use my brain too hard while doing it.

    And boi, each scene of this game is delicous for me.

    Extremely boring game. The kinks are there, the art is solid, but those are the only redeeming qualities.

    If you've played any other boring, linear Unity JRPGs then you've played this one. Combat is boiled down to your party auto-attacking against 3 separate individual enemies. Beat one, or beat all three, it makes little difference because you'll make progress either way and the outcome is much the same.

    The art is great. I won't deny that at all. I enjoy the particular kinks features in this title, and a few of the scenes are briefly titillating, but the majority of interactions are uninspired. Everything just feels a bit soulless and overall I didn't feel that I was playing an actual game at all. The experience was mostly just slogging through boring dialogue to see the next H-scene.

    There's really no challenge in this game. It's slightly more engaging than using Windows File Explorer to click "Next image" through the CG's... but only slightly.

    If you like the art and the kinks provided here, give it a shot, but prepare to be disappointed.

    We have Kagura Games here so no joking around. The game overall is good, the art is good and the gameplay system too if not that there are really too much dialogue and the game is pretty linear, it's not like you can do something wrong, the corruption thing is really good though. The 3 heroine are good no kidding. The voice part is really good.

    Art's pretty good, Translation seems to be good overall except when for the word "adorable" which somehow has turned into "aDorahble", capitalized exactly like that. It has appeared at least twice and is really bizarre.

    Gameplay is essentialy nonexistent, you just do option X when you need some more of that resource to keep going. Theres no failure state or a deadline so theres no resource management. Just tedious movement between tabs when you are about to run out of seeds.

    The music is very low-attention filler. The H-scenes having some generic jazz... the few times i was able to hear it since the game for some reason kept lowering its in-game BGM volume slider until it muted itself.

    H-scenes are fairly quick 2-5 minute interludes with 1-3 scenes. Reading the other reviews I really dont understand the "wall of text" or "Bad at text skipping" since its both fairly quick and made in Unity with a quite competent skip function (Standard CTRL to skip text, though this isnt shown anywhere)

    I agree on the conclusion that this VN (because it really aint gameplay) is way too long with its very middling gameplay, it should just cut out 50% or more of the inbetween time spent in town.

    Play it for 1-2 hours to maybe get a grip for its style and then you can either go into a full gallery save or play 90% of the rest in skip mode without missing anything of too much note.

    God Awful

    thswherizat said it all. The art is cute, the "scenes" are more often than not 1 single image and a wall of text. I'm talking 5 minutes worth of reading...which for a scene where usually the girl is asleep is absurdly long. Though I guess the developer is putting the player in the shoes of MC's love interests, because the wall of text puts you to sleep along with the girls within the game. And worst of all, Wolf RPG isn't well geared for skipping text like say Ren'Py is. So you've got to burn out your mouse clicker clicking 100 f-ing times in a scene to skip all the shitty dialogue the developer created such as "Zzz...Zzz...Mm...Zzz...Fwah...Mmm...Zzz...Mm...Zzz...Zzz...Zzz...Mm...Zzz...Zzz...Mmm...Mmm...Mm...Zzz".

    Gameplay is a test of how long it takes for you to blow your brains out. Click quest, wait, click buy demon nuts, click train, click quest, wait, click buy potion, click quest, wait, repeat, repeat, repeat, unlock sex scenes, watch them again 5-10 times to progress and be able to unlock next sex scene, if you've maxed out one girl and there are no new sex scenes go to the next girl, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, kill yourself in real life.

    I've seen plenty of developers re-use art from prior games. This is a first seeing a developer re-use art from within the SAME GAME. There is supposedly 106 scenes in this game, but don't be surprised if most of the scenes for each girl re-use the same 5-6 pictures again and again and again.

    Take the full save file from post #12 and watch the gallery if you want. Don't waste your time playing. I'm 2 hours in and only 1/4 through the "content", and if I have to click though the gimmicky crap gameplay one more minute I'll commit seppuku.

    Art is good, dialogue is rather lame, characters are cookie-cutter stereotypes, story is repetitive and unoriginal.

    Basically, get the gallery save and enjoy the art, because the actual 'game' aspect of this isn't worth the effort.

    I love the art in this game. While it might not be for everyone it, this game has everything for everyone with all the girls being diverse. I don't really care for the story and honestly the gameplay is pretty monotonous but the hentai more than makes up for it
