a mid game with poorly executed game mechanics(avoid the vision of bots) that just repeats itself over and over. interesting game interface graphics. i like the art work. but the game mechanics is definitely a turn off especially if its not well incorporated into the game it might as well be left out of the game and give the user the option to interrupt the ritual or not.
not recommended unless you are super bored

- Avoidable NTR
Like how ?
It has NTR written with a bigger police than the face of the girl. The description is the classic NTR beginning. And it's not "Do NTR to earn money" games it's "your life sucks to suck now, get breeding, by law, so you know it's ok" is the avoidable part just the "protag" going "meh" or simply because they well, from what i read, they don't even date.

They can be married at the start of the game... And the law can be subverted

Can NTR be avoidable ?

The whole plot of the game is avoiding NTR and you can if you want to.

I picked up this game because I decided to binge this dev's games, and after the previous two, I wasn't really sure what to expect, aside from the art-style which is still quite janky (no surprise there). Looking at the circle's 1st game too, it's pretty obvious that the dev tends to change things up quite a bit with every game they make, so it's not like some other circles out there where you have a pretty good idea of what to expect because they just change things little by little in terms of style. That lack of predictability can be good in some ways... but that doesn't mean that the end result itself will be good, though mileage can vary there.

In this game's case, well, the gameplay is ass. Silver bullet didn't have the most in depth gameplay out there, but at least it made some effort with it, while the previous product was just a VN in RPGM. Here though, you kind of have the worst of both worlds in a sense, what with the fact that the gameplay is a joke and the focus is more on various scenes. There's some pretty long sequences in this game with repeated H-scenes one after the other, and unlike a VN in a dedicated engine, you can't save during those sequences at any point and have to wait until they're over. This is felt particularly bad through the Aeges endings, the Sumeragi and Bongo routes and the reincarnation of the Founder route.

Still, for all that the gameplay is uninteresting and really easy, the dev DID make an effort where many don't even try. This is a NTR focused game from the MC's perspective, and the NTR is indeed something that you're supposed to prevent. It's just that the game is so easy that preventing the NTR is still very much a matter of choice more than anything else. The only time you remotely have a chance of legitimately losing is during the Aeges route, because that one has some roaming golems that aren't on a fixed path. Aside from that one, I don't think it's possible to lose legitimately on any of the other routes.

Now, one may wonder, what is this gameplay that I'm calling crap?

Well, the gameplay loop revolves around the MC trying to stop a village ritual that involves his GF, the strongest Witch in the village. The ritual, is, of course, a thing that leads to NTR, as it's a set-up to get her to breed for the village's prosperity. I'm not spoilering this because it's basically said in the game's description and very early on in the intro. Once the MC finds out about this, he tries to protect his GF by preventing the ritual from happening. He's aided in this by his Master, a pervy guy that once saw the outside world, who helps guide him into preparing traps and tricks to prevent the chosen guys from reaching the ritual site and boinking Marie, the aforementioned GF. It's also worth mentioning that the village is a sort of isolated magocracy, and it's surrounded by a forest which is magic dead-zone filled with wandering golems and possibly other monsters... and of course, the things that the MC needs the most are in this zone.

Thus, the core of the gameplay is to go into that zone, avoid the patrolling monsters, collect the things, and then stop the ritual by preventing the given guy of the period from making it there. The patrolling golem things have varied movement routes and visual ranges, and the later is visible. The maps for reach ritual interruption are mildly different, but they boil down to the same thing every time, with two collection spots at the upper right and upper left of the map, while the MC always starts at the bottom of the map. The MC has 3 tries to get his goals, and loses a try if he's spotted. Lose all 3 and the ritual happens, but you get a chance to interrupt it mid-way, but you can't prevent Marie from getting fucked and giving birth to at least 1 child. This applies to three of the ritual attempts, the fourth, if you fail to get the materials to prevent it, it'll lead directly to a set of bad-endings.

There's nothing else when it comes to the gameplay. Everything else is basically resolved automatically in the form of scenes. You don't have to investigate the guys. You don't have to play any mini-games... It becomes tedious rather quickly.

Which is why I recommend playing the pure route (which is also, I believe, the intended True Ending), first, to get it out of the way. You can then, in the same save, re-activate any of the previous routes by talking with the guys in various places to start collecting the H-scenes, plus you also have the option of activating a couple of "postgame" routes that rely on having gathered the materials for all the others.

Oh right, I suppose I should mention that aside from the 1st ritual, the rest are activated by you going to certain characters with Marie in tow, which activates their routes. While a ritual route isn't active, you can free roam, and there's a couple of optional events you can also activate to get Marie fucked by a couple of more people.

The point is, don't pick this game up for the gameplay, because there's not much of that in it. Really, this is just a step removed from a scene collector VN.

Now, while the gameplay is ass, that doesn't mean that the game itself as a whole is ass. It's worth noting that the dev did put in some effort into their ideas and world-building, and in their H-scenes in particular, which are really hot. I may be a tad biased here though, since breeding is a whole thing for me, and this game has a lot of that including a couple of scenes of orgasmic birthing. In terms of sheer number, this game has less H-scenes than Silver Bullet did, but the way they're handled is much better, imho, and the NTR/corruption vibes are much stronger. If the NTR felt tacked on in the previous game, it's very much the focus here. It works better overall than in the previous game because the story itself is better set-up for it... but so are the characters, Marie in particular.

What's really nice is the fact that the dev genuinely put in effort into making the guys that can end up fucking Marie different in various ways in terms of looks, personality, their overall relationship with her and the kind of impact they have on her life or the kind of endings they take her in if the MC screws up.

I'm not a fan of the fact that the majority of the H-stuff is basically in the gallery because it's out of sight of the MC, but I'm never a fan of that sort of design, and I think that in a magic setting, they could have shown more and relied on memory blocking or perception alteration and whatnot... they do that in some parts, but not as much as they could. I suppose it was a difficult balance between appealing to the people that want mystery and to self-insert as the cuck and the people that want to see the lewds and Marie get corrupted by dick and whatever else.

Even with that, I actually went through and unlocked every single scene the old fashioned way, rather than using the gallery unlock, which is not something I do often. Even on games with better art and a heavier amount of kinks I'm really into. Granted, it helps that the game is short and that there's not THAT many scenes overall, but there's still more than the average mediocre bit of RPGM slop out there.

For now though, it's time for...

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Honestly, I could talk a lot about this game, dissecting all the individual routes, what I like about them, and of course, the fact that the set-up and Marie's characterization is perfect for what it leads too. However, there's no point in that much of a wall of text.

I'll conclude things with saying that, unless you're fixated on a game having good gameplay, then this is definitely worth picking up for its story, even if it's short, and especially for its smut. Especially if you're into pregnancy and birth stuff, because there's quite a bit of it in this game. I don't know what number I'd put on this game, some of its highs are very high, but some of its lows are very low too... but I definitely enjoyed it a lot.

Oh, and Aeges Ending A is the best ending. 'Nuff said.
