• Gameplay : 3 / 5
• Artstyle : 5 / 5
• Story : 4 / 5
• Fun : 3 / 5

I honestly think this game is worth playing. Some aspects make the score drop to average tho, mainly that it's disappointing that the MC does not have a lot of kinky scenes. Instead we get a bunch of scenes from side characters and unknown characters.

When playing the game you have to explore around in search for equipment, info, and people. There are a few bosses, but the main aspect of the game is the storytelling, which comes in small dialogues and experimentation records.

The art fits very well with the grimdark theme, but can get repetitive as there is little variation... I'd say more than half of the porn involves breeding tentacles with inflation and milking.

Much like how the story is told, you have to figure out the details regarding the control/gameplay, but contrary to piecing together the story, learning by oneself how to play is no fun.

The world is very well build, with details in the maps and the documents found allover. There are a few bugs and deadlocks, so remember to save whenever possible.

I just finished this game and I think I also found all collectables. SO I guess I am fit to write a review here:

The good:

- This game has a great concept and is visually unique.

- The story is quite intruiging. I kept playing not because I wanted to see the next lewd scene, but rather I genuinly cared about the MC, the NPCs and the Lore behind the whole thing. I kept going because I wanted to know what happens next.

- The atmosphere is stellar. I felt a mixture of disgust and creepiness. Maps are well crafted with lots of details. Visually this game is Art.

- Interesting NPCs... more about that later.


The mediocre:

- For a porn game there isnt much to fap to. At least in my case. However, the design and gameplay kept me going.

- Its a rather short game. The Ending is quite lackluster imo.


There are some flaws though:

- The controlls needs time to get used to. The movement is quite fast and the characters speeds up instead of moving at a steady pace. This can make fighting and dodging difficult, especiallyif you just started out.

- Mechanics arnt explained or seem bugged at first glance. For example: If you activate the healing Spell from the menu, nothing happens, but Mana is spent. You need to register it to the actionbar and use it via E key to use. Same with every other spell except the protection Spell that DOES work using the Menu for some reason.

- Noone explains what the white bar on the left means. If it is fully filled up, you start to loose HP. Painkiller or saving reduce the values. The bar fills over time, and yes, unfortunately, it does increase during cut scenes. I think that is bad design, as it kinda stressed me out skimming though Scenes to not loose too much time by reading the documents.

- How do you get Currency? To be honest, I still dont quite understand how. Coins are earned with documents found, I think, but I dont know how Corruption works. I didnt get any for quite a while until I beat 2 bosses. Only then it started to pile up. I dont know if these bosses triggered it or if it was a coincidence with some other mechanic entirely.

- The NPCs seem interesting at first glance, but arnt really relevant, which is a shame. They have a bit of flavor text and most have 1 interaction, that doesnt benefit you in any way. There was a lot of potential lost here. The only kinda imortant NPCS are the two merchants.

- If you collect equipable items it just states that you picked something up but not what. So with every item you needa go to the menu and look though all equipment slots to find the one thing that is new. The game could just name the item, like "you picked up Ring of Whateverthename", to give you a clue what to look for.

- Unfortunately I didnt quite feel anything for the dead girls. Most of the stuff that happens, did so in the past already with other NPCs. And the stuff that happens to the MC doesnt have any consequences. You cant see the parasite in her body. It doesnt change the story (to my knowledge) if you get infested or not. Since most things already happened to other people I didnt really cared that much. Id like it more if more things happened to the MC, which I DID actually care for, and could have avoided if I wanted to. And such events should have some kind of weight to them.


Overall I did have fun playing this game, so I feel generous rating it 4 stars, although there was quite a lot of unused potential.

I love game this type, Fighting is easy but intresting, Map isnt large but thats the plus, u always find secret rooms. Very nice arts. Evil and dark atmosphere. Game is short, have 4 bosses, 3 h-scene with gg and some scenes with nps. Most of h-cont is in the paper notes. It's appropriate in this game, because there's a lab, experiments, and all that.

Really boring game, the porn scenes are just pictures you find when you explore how a girl died to tentacles and the combat is just bad were you fight a ton of enemies that are health sponges.
Only decent thing I can say is that the art is good but you won't see much of it.

I want to say this is ''good'' because i REALLY like the Art style and vibe, but the game itself is... lacking, there's too much repetitive combat because the areas are FILLED with enemies wich you will just trade damage and heal when necessary.

Now the H-content are just documents of already dead girls AND THERE'S A LOT OF THEM while the MC only has around 4 H-CGs that are kinda short and meh, and the NPCs at the hub didn't get anything...?
i made sure to check on them regularly but there was basically no progression on questline with 1 exception, and sundenlly i got an ending that took me to the gallery and only around 5 scenes there i didn't find myself, so i don't think i missed much wich is the sad part, everything just felt lacking we don't even get a portrait for the mc like the one in the cover art...
