Others The Shimmering Horizon and Cursed Blacksmith [v1.02r] [Ason]

Well, this is one of those 'defeat rape' type of game, so unless you're doing it purposely or simply have bad RNG you normally won't see the H-animations outside the gallery. Same with unlocking the campgirls H-animations where you need to get defeated with maximum corruption few times to unlock and then come back with high corruption(80+) to even see the alternative positions or the demon queen where you need to clear the special arena.

Good thing you won't have to lose on purpose considering the game's difficulty lol

My game has broken after the Throne Room...
(Casual difficulty)

Beat the boss in Throne Room, went back to base, cutscenes yadda yadda.
First time I teleport back to Throne Room all good. Go through the portal to Depths.
Make progress in Depths, eventually return to base.

Now whenever I teleport back to Throne Room to continue, my HP is basically halved and I'm getting butt whooped by everything. Nothing has changed, so in theory I should actually be stronger than when I ran through Depths the first time...

Anyone else having this issue? The game is quite unwinnable now.

I think this game leans towards the "game" part more than "H" in H-Game, similar to Blacksouls 1-2.

If purpose is to give big grindfest, to be difficult game - yes, Shimmering Horizon does give that part. Really gives. Roguelike grindfest that requires preparations for hours, to drop rare goods AND to finish each boss with limited amount of goods. Kind of reminds "Mistover", but it's RPG Maker here. Being hard has a purpose, otherwise game will lose one of its points. You're just some blacksmith who has to explore dungeon and progress through, dealing with everything this messed up world throws at you - and there's enough people who play games like Dark Souls series for this feeling. And if someone wants casual experience - devs buffed casual difficulty again, so players can choose to do it easy way. This one is especially good for "H" enjoyers - those look very juicy in this game, as well as voiced.

Can't quite compare to Blacksouls series yet, because don't know lore/story behind Shimmering Horizon (still far from finish + wanna wait for possible patches).

Oh, trust me, the ending is worth it, but i wont talk about it yet since i assume most people here haven't finished the game yet. Most of the lore comes from the Journal and reading memories.
