Ren'Py - Completed - The Drawings [v1.0] [Higurashika]

If you are looking for good writing, multiple choices that shape the MC, several controversial kinks, and multiple endings, you will find your Garden of Eden. About the renders, well, there are some old pics to spark your imagination about the character's appearance and some nice background images, but that is it.

An evocative, graphically-sparse story about family.

Yeah, since you're reading this on F95Zone, that means incest.

While the story proceeds in some predictable paths and is fairly linear, there are some rewards to be found by accepting what are some fairly obvious hooks, plus at least one I definitely wasn't expecting and only managed to trigger on a subsequent playthrough. I've heard other mentions about the english used here - while there are some fairly often-repeated language usage issues (mostly word-order related) I found it perfectly clear what was being communicated, to the point it became just a sort of "spice" that helped reinforce the "this is happening in a far off land, but with characters much like you'd find in your own neighborhood" vibe. (It's also vastly better than the shameful, dishonor-your-ancestors level retarded machine translation we get from a lot of Japanese games, but that's neither here nor there.)

If you're looking for lots of images or lovingly-crafted and extremely repetitive 50,000 word descriptions of blowjobs, go elsewhere. If you're looking for a tightly-woven, sexually twisted "coming-of-age" story, you've found what you're seeking.

Same EXTREME, fucked up shit as the authors other works. It's really not for everyone, those, who are looking for a light-hearted romantic game should stay far away from it. For heavy-weight, battle-hardened coomers (like myself) this is a real gem though. Extreme fetishes that are quite rare are wrapped in a really weird, but coherent story.

The authors style is really unique. I didn't like his/her broken english at first, but I got accustomed to it and it adds to the insanity of the stories.

I'm giving this game a good score solely because of my appreciation for original and interesting story lines which we all know is severely lacking in the porn games world. I'm not sure if I liked what I played, though. It definitely got my pp hard at several points.

I originally thought Combin Ation was the most deranged dev out there but he has nothing on Higurashika. All his stories are kinda criminally insane. Honestly I'm not sure how I feel about them. The Drawing has many hot scenes, particularly the S&M ones. The plot keeps going deeper and deeper and it twists around and starts feeling like a fever dream at some point. I became sort of numb and I was just reading through it in complete shock I guess. And it's nothing like that NTR BNWO dev who made Bully and Reparations, who has, like, a completely fucked up ethical compass. And even though Higurashika's game lean HEAVILY into incest, which I genuinely feel like is the most disgusting and boring fetish out there, and also even though I powered through it trying to ignore and pretending like it was about "the community" and not any particular family (and it works because the family makes no sense whatsoever anyway), I still think the story is humane in a way. Now, before going forward, I'd like to point out ONE single plot line that I think might even get this game into trouble: It's the scene about the family business that I couldn't go forward. I had to go back and choose not to listen to it. Thankfully it never showed up again and the ending had absolutely nothing to do with it. I don't know if it happened to me that way because I chose not to listen to that path or if the game really doesn't touch the subject again at all anyway. And I much prefer if it was the latter... But back to the rest of the game: It deals with psychological conditioning, trauma, and revenge in a survivalist but also caring way. It's extremely kinky, of course, with lots of kinks hitting just right for me but some of the plot lines feel like they're there just for the sake of edginess. I don't know if I had fun. I like how it referenced the film Raw at some point. I think the trashiness of that movie goes along nicely with the game.

It is a decent Game with many posibility's, in my game,,,,,,,,,,,I only went for the Bestiality route, got one ,Decent " sceene in the end of the game, and it left the feeling of lack of content, I know it is rare/speciffic, but anyways, I feel like there has been made very much more time into the game for other "obscure" stuff like Scat, that is almost unavoidable.

I't is farely well written, tho it rushes some stuff way to fast, but is has to start somewhere............Not like 96% in here that is only the three first updates, then it is either "onhold" or "abandoned".

And that is why I give it 3, I'd rather give it 2.5..............The buildup to the scenes I was looking for, was exiting, tho the end result got into play waaaaaaay to late in the game.............Given the background of some of the charracters!

My 2 Cents

PS: For other people that tolerate scat, menstruation play, Sub with no choice, or just hairy dirty genitales, this is the shit for you!

Just like the other game, you start in an interesting environment and with an interesting premise of a family that loves each other more than usual. You can choose the direction of certain events and fetishes to shape the story as you wish.
The problem starts when the creator imposes what you are going to do, when an unbearable and irritating character appears and you just want distance from him the only choices are "let's fuck" or "put your penis in my vagina", basically you can't choose nothing and the story goes in the worst possible way.
Anyway, with that I learned not to trust this creator and his games anymore, in the end everything is heading towards a brainless orgy with 110% horny characters whose vocabulary comes down to fucking or having sex. I like the most varied and weird types of fetish, but "no choice" is one I can't stand.

This game is just terrible, there is no art to speak of, static background, only character portraits which amounts to single photo.
The story is simply mental, white trash family with degrading fetishes, scat, incest, as if written by a demented crackhead.
