Others - Thou, Eternal Everbloom [Beta v0.1.3.4] [Caffaholic]

As a vanilla lover, I would confidently say that this is undoubtedly the best adult game I've ever played. This is an exemplar game that balances its romance and adult content perfectly.

As far as romance goes, this game is second to none. You'll feel the development of the relationship growing day by day, with each progress bringing new fluffy sweetness. Their interaction grows more and more adorable the more you play, and I can't help but grin whenever new ones appear.

Sex just doesn't come out of the blue, nor will it come via rape. It appears only when you've established a romantic relationship, and it doesn't disappoint. You'll unlock more and more scenes thereafter, and also updated dialogues for each of the previous interactions.

There's nothing to complain about. Some may find the game to be excruciatingly slow, but that's a matter of preference and dedication to vanilla games. With new dialogues appearing left and right, you'd hardly find the game to be boring so long as you're a vanilla lover.

This is the perfect game for vanilla lovers as of rating.

PERFECT 10/10
This game does not have anny mistakes. putting into my game galssification:
Art: 10/10
History: 10/10
Immersion: 10/10
Sound: 7/10

As for the sound, the game does not contain a "OMG thats a David getta Sound Track" the sound track does what it has to do, Im just writing because its the only thing that is a Ok in the game.

Pros

This was surprisingly good. I always expect some degeneracy even in the most innocent looking games out here, but I'm glad I was wrong about this one.

This just might be the best “feels good” game I ever played, with lots of pure and unfiltered love emanating from the main character. So much, it will make you addicted to cutting wood for hours just so you can have enough money to buy her a strawberry pie (her favorite), to make her happy.

I don't know where the story is going, but so far It was able to catch me off guard sometimes, pleasantly, without getting too goofy or corny.

Cons

My main issue with it is how slow it feels to play. There are just so many fade to black sections when you change locations that it makes the game feel sluggish. I honestly would just prefer to instantly appear on the next area instead of having to wait for the transition, which may break immersion a little, but it would certainly improve the experience.

For last, I feel that there is one small issue in how long it takes you to get the 10 large mouth bass for the fishing side quest. It's about 10 days if you are lucky, and considering how much money from selling wood you can get in the same time frame, it makes the reward of 380G feel quite underwhelming.

O-O

As final considerations, I just hope the DEV keeps up, we really need this type of game out here, that, for a change, excites our hearts and souls more than anything else.

What a cute game! as of version Beta v0.1.2.3 the content in the game alot already and there's so many things to explore. The pixel art are amazing, the horror aspect actually made me scared and the story is really interesting, highly recommended to download and try this game <3

Nice! I really like it, it is type of game I wanted to find for a long time.

Vibe is AMAZING, calm sound, lovely art, atmosphere of rural tranquility, yess!
I dint really focus on reading all the story (cuz Eng isnt my native), but you can enjoy it even just watching the pictures. Also it will be good to see some storyline with witch and girl from tavern. My heart belongs Rosette, but... It will be god to have a choice for fun with other girls (you can make different endings depending on the choice to be only with Rosette or not).

Few words about gameplay.
Sometimes it s hard to find what you do you need to do for a quest.
For example 'find gem'. I knew what location I had to look for, but I thought it would be on the grass. I didn't try to get to the end(cave), cuz I thought it might appear by chance on another day.
Or growing sunflowers... I dint expect it took sooooo long. I even started to think that something was wrong with the game. It would be nice to write on the seed packaging how long it takes for them to grow. And, please, make sunflowers grow a little bit faster. You know, first you have to chop a bunch of wood for the greenhouse, then more wood for improvements. And then you wait for the flowers to grow. And and all this time nothing happens. Maybe add some event with Rosette, when she is in greenhouse? - Andrey enters the greenhouse and worries that the plants are not growing well. Rosetta uses her dryad powers to help him.

Some wishes about control.
1) It will be nice to choose dialogue options on 'wasd' not only arrow keys.
2) In some dialogue(when you talk) you can use arrow keys in other no(when you sit on sofa). I wanna use arrows('wasd' keys) everywhere
3) When you need to end some action you need to use mouse and press X
button, it will be nice to have ESC as alternative.

Vibe 10/10
Art 5/5
Story 4.5/5 (waiting for the next updates)
Gameplay 3.5/5

While I do agree that the tutorial may be a bit long, it's just a tutorial so you can safely ignore the last review since it doesn't really discuss anything worthwhile about the game itself. Let's start with some of the basic things that reviews should usually focus on:

Story: 5/5
For me the story is extremely wholesome, you as a local nobody with a bit of a backstory that noone usually cares about meet a goddess that is being hunted by other humans, and instead of turning her in you decide to help her, tend her wounds and live together with her in the forest. I really like this setup, reminds me of all these runaway girl games but with a more original story in mind. I also like that she is interested in your own backstory aswell which gives both the MC and her a meaning inside the story and doesn't just let you be a shallow character.

Visuals: 5/5
I'm personally biased on this but I really enjoy pixel art aesthetics and I think alot of people that do will enjoy the visuals presented in this game. The sexual scenes are very romantic but don't lack in the eroticism department, but they are also quite vanilla which perfectly fits the theme of this game but may not be enough for everyone. The overworld is designed beautifully, the house looks really nice with everything in the background being hand drawn which of course is just a very nice thing to have. I have very little to criticise here, just to keep adding more of the good stuff.

Gameplay: 3/5
Here is where I think the dev could improve some stuff. In general, I do agree with points in the last two reviews that the pacing of the game is generally a little slow at the start of the story. The interactions and dialogues take a while to complete and while I like reading through them, it's not everyones cup of tea so I think stuff like this could be improved overall. I really like the day and night system and simulator like gameplay though so building upon this should be no issue. Also I love patting her during the day, really cute.

Sound: 5/5
Honestly not much to criticise here, it's there to lift the athmosphere and make scenes more lively but also nothing extremely groundbreaking, just a nice addition to the game.

Overall, I was not sure whether to give this a 4 or a 5, but seeing how passionate the dev is about this game I decided to give it 5 since I have no doubt this game is gonna be even greater once it fully releases.

I have mixed feelings about this.
As a game, it's charming, nice, and as much as I hate how prevalent and over-used the word has become lately, cozy.
The girl is sweet and attractive, and the situation / premise is interesting enough.

However.

This game is wayyy too slow.

Movement, dialogue, story pacing, everything just takes FOREVER.

I put in way more time than I thought I'd have the patience for, and I never even got to anything NSFW.

I love pixel art, but there's no payoff - and not really even any work either, at that. You just kind of walking around interacting with things, but for no real point. You can cut wood, but it doesn't do anything. You can water the plant, but it also took forever to sprout.

I couldn't figure how you grow anything, as you aren't allowed to go anywhere, despite there being a map.


I like the direction it is going though. I would love to see pretty much everything sped up though.

Interested to see how this one develops.

The premise is simple but sweet. You rescue a dryad and you come to love each other. The pixel art is great and it gives me a "Summer Memories" vibe. For a v0.0.1, this makes me excited for what else the dev has in store.

The English isn't the best but that can easily be fixed in an update or two. The only gripe that I have is it takes a bit to grind.
