Unity - ThornSin [v0.6.5] [Scarlet Paper]

I like the attempt at creating a NSFW roguelike, as it's definitely something I've always craved, I like the mechanics like the items/powerups, but I just can't vibe with the combat. It just doesn't feel thought out at all and I don't have fun with it. But the game looks like it otherwise had some pretty decent effort put into it, even if I don't like the artstyle and character designs I can admit they are well illustrated. The porn isn't my favorite though, besides those things I just mentioned I also think the style of animation makes the H stuff look meh to me. I'm giving it three stars for effort but I didn't really like it.

Game looks absolutely top tier. Looked like I was playing some triple A game type sh*t on the aesthetics, especially in the title screen and loading screen.

Gameplay is pretty basic tbh, but I couldn't give a rat's ass about the gameplay as I'm just a for fap guy. The sex scenes look pretty damn great especially the more 2d ones with the witch and shopkeeper. The ingame sex scenes erm... pretty okay? There are some morphing going on but as far as my penis thinks, it's pretty cool.

Art is drop dead gorgeous.

Can't wait for more updates to this if there are indeed any. I like potential so I'll give this 5 stars

Great animations and graphics, but that's about it.

The combat feels super floaty, unresponsive, and lacks weight. You constantly feel like you're skating on ice, but you're also far too heavy to chain into aerial combos.

You get punished for trying to enjoy the H, as receiving H-attacks does significant damage, especially when taking into account how few opportunities to heal there are. Some of the items make it kind of possible to view them safely, but they are rare and impossible to anticipate.

There's no real meta-progression, which kills any and all satisfaction from corrupting the protagonist, as losing will reset ALL of it. This irritation is exacerbated by how clunky and long many of the scenes are.

• Seducing the shopkeeper again? Hold J for 30+seconds, and watch a static pair of hands make her boobs jiggle a little bit.
• Get downed by an enemy? You'll need to watch the often long transition animations before you can skip through some of the sex phases.

This falls into the vein of being a "roguelike" rather than a "roguelite." Unfortunate, because that is not to the game's benefit, as everything feels FAR too slow to make starting over and over from scratch appealing.

The itemization is weak, and requires you to try and make the combat work in ways it isn't built to.

All in all, the graphics are great. The animations are great. The combat is very below average. The mechanics are below average. I want to like the game, but it's just far more irritating and slow than it is arousing.

This game is legitimately one of the best games on this platform and definitely within the top ten best in progress games. I look forward to seeing this game when they complete it. I don't think that there are any cons to the game besides the occasional bug but that hardly counts for a unfinished game.

Incredible gameplay and potential but wasted because of way too much try hard needed (and I enjoy tryharding sooooo..).
And also, you can feel that the game will go nowhere from now on, and it's just about money now.

Great game with excelent artwork, scenes and gameplay. Fun to play even when not going for the erotic side of the game, feels like it still needs some content but I still find it one of the best erotic games I've played.

Good art style, FUN GAMEPLAY (which is something 90% of the games here either don't have by design or can't have since they're VNs) good scenes with various different monsters, positions and fetishes and some very good ideas for what's coming in the future!

The bad things about the game aren't that bad, obviously the most notable one is that the game isn't finished and it shows, not only because the progression feels weird and disconnected but also because it's obvious that most of the work is going into making the sex scenes and shopkeeper scenarios, since we haven't had a gameplay focused update in a while(this is good or bad depending on who you ask and when you ask them) also the alleged corruption system is still not implemented in game so if you're looking for corruption gameplay this game is very barebones even if the last update did start paving the way for the system to be added
Is this the best porn game ever? no. but it is on its way to become it if the monthly updates retain this level of quality
I would highly suggest supporting the developer if you can because this could turn out to be an actual good game on top of being a good porn game

Superb!
There might be a small lighting issue because you sometimes cannot see the character's details that well because of the environment lighting and her outfit's color but everything else I absolutely love.
Really wish there'd be more games like this one with the art being just as good or even better
I need more updates!

Greatest Game Ever
Good work Scarlet Paper: This is by far the best of these "types" of games i have played. (I would like it if there were more scenes as well as more gameplay stuff but tbh the core gameplay loop is legitamately something that I would play even without any of the nsfw stuff. Would be cool if the game became more rogue-lite rather than just resetting EVERYTHING when you die: even like a shop for currency for more clothing options would be cool.)

The idea is nice BUT...

Its not a fap game, since You cant play it with one hand and you dont get enough healt back to get fucked a lot too... Why you need health? Because its one of these games where you need to "lose" to get the lewd scenes.

Another thing is, you cant change the controlls so you need to play without custom keys.

Besides this, almost all of the items are underpowered or straight up useless. The enemies are to easy and there is not enough randomness to justify a lot of runs.

At the moment it gets boring pretty fast.

Only good thing about it are the graphics. For this ill kep an eye on it but i doubt, it will get much better.

Reviewed as of 0.4.5
A great looking game, with decent gameplay and a good amount of H content.

Difficulty is a bit weird, and utilizing relics that play around being inseminated or parasitized is very difficult due to the low amount of health and rarity of general healing.

The character herself is gorgeous, and the art is similarly amazing. Animations are smooth and nice, though there's no estrus 'variations' to the animations where the FMC is more willing in the act, could be a great addition.

The first scene with merchant seems to be unskippable which was the only annoyance.

Definitely worth playing in the current state.

An actually fun h-game?!

The h-scenes and animations are pretty good, but the gameplay loop itself is actually fun too. It's an action roguelite where you get upgrades every once in a while and progress through floors

Extremely abnormal for any hgame to have actual gameplay other than clicking for the next dialogue, tedious tasks, or similar, imo

Absolutely phenomenal.
Great visuals, Spicy animations, great voice-acting, dense and unwelcoming atmosphere.

Gameplay is a little lack luster at the moment, but this will probably change in the future.

It is really smooth, high quality, and for the most part enjoyable! There are only two real downsides in my opinion, but they are significant.

First is how long it takes to get around. Getting from level to level is a series of exploring branching pathways that become increasingly complex, with instances of finding keys for unlockable areas on the other end of the map, becoming way too much of a time commitment to bother unlocking. Even just trying to rush directly to the next floor each time takes a ridiculous amount of time, and when you have already beaten a level 10 times or more, becomes excruciatingly tiresome, to the point that you just stop playing.

The second problem, and by far the worst, is THERE IS NO GALLERY! I cant comprehend why you would bother making a game with adult themes without including a gallery, because it renders even the best and most high quality of games essentially pointless to play. Adult themes are difficult to "properly enjoy" when you are at risk of losing 15 or more minutes of progress just to see.

Unfortunately, despite being an amazingly created game with beautiful imagery and fantastic art, at least until a gallery is implemented, there is no point in playing.

Feels like a lazy copy of Night Of Revenge without... well... everything. I really struggle to play it every time since game receives updates because there is much more better game, already have more content and have strong community support.

Well any way the battle system isn't that bad, need improvements and stuff like more weapons and moves. Art pretty good and sound in game pretty much good to. Well see how it will be in the future.

This is a really good game, and really touches on great elements of a side scrolling experience. I am looking forward to future updates, however I would like to see a cheat engine implemented in the game itself. This game offered great content, and the female protagonist is amazing and very pretty. I love the gameplay mechanics in this game, and really admire that the player is able to remove specific equipment of the character. Great game and very well polished, I would recommend this game to people, and I gave this game an excellent rating. I really like this game.

The game shows promise with its intriguing concept, but falls short in execution. While the idea behind the game is engaging, there are noticeable shortcomings, primarily in the animation. A significant portion of the game lacks the animations necessary to bring it to life, leaving it feeling incomplete and lacking polish. Additionally, it's disappointing to encounter numerous functionalities that don't work as intended. With some improvements and bug fixes, this game could potentially fulfill its potential, but as it stands, it leaves much to be desired.

HOLY SHIT! this has been so much better, it's unreal. I remember playing this when it was at 0.1v and it wasn't even 1/10 game it is today. Just the menu and opening effects have become so much more beautiful... the creator certainly has taste. There so much little after-effects here and there THAT REALLY SELL THE GAME, like the game would have worked without them but the creator made them anyway. this really shows how much love/diligence was put into this game while it is only at version 0.3

Huge improvement in animations and combat mechanics. really really nice lvel design and overall really cool economy and looting system for easy upgrades and buffs. needs some form of a save system at some point of course but really amazing stuff so far. so much better than the initial releases. keep the enemies diverse and the bosses challenging. i do wish there was more combo enemy animations though. maybe in the future.

v0.2.8
Boys, we have a masterpiece on our hands here.

The idle animations and combat animations are BEAUTIFUL and SMOOTH, the last time I saw such quality I was playing Alien Quest EVE, the H-scenes are also fantastically animated.

The game might be a little difficult cause, you have no way of regenerating health and you gotta go through so many dungeons, but that's fine, the game is a challenge to beat. Actually there are some health regen items n stuff, but not very reliable.

Can't wait for the full release.
