RPGM - Completed - Treasure: The Irreplaceable Thing I Found [v1.06] [karaage-tomato]

Teleportation mazes should give any game an instant 0.

Even without that, I'd give it a 2star before I checked out in act 3 with surprise unavoidable NTR (and all scenes so far...) on very shaky grounds. Games are interesting because you can choose. For the first few hours there's no choices, no game - just busy work. It's just grinding for a visual novel with terrible reasoning, story, writing, and character motivations. Maybe that changes later.

Art: 2/5 - The art is just not good. Not distractingly bad, but nothing here.
Gameplay: 0/5 - teleporter maze and sloppy nonsense event triggers combined with obnoxious progression blockers that rely on those sloppy event triggers to get through.
Story: "I can't tell you my dark past because then you would notice that nothing makes sense."/5

True end was enough for me even though I came for NTR. Ntr game with characters acting realistic not some pervert brainwashed creatures, now that was refreshing. Has some better romance than actual Romance games as well.

Even if you hate NTR I'll urge you to try the game; even with unavoidable NTR content, because the True end makes it worth.

A fantastic game, with its renders being its only weak point. It knocks the ball out of the park with everything else, with its biggest strength being its story.

Unlike other NTR games, this one actually acknowledges the goodness in peoples heart. The MC's closest acquaintances and confidants all only want good for him, and its only through magic that they actually commit their deeds.

My biggest and really only complaint with the story was how easy the witch Ada got off with what she did.

Besides that, and the somewhat simple renders (View the preview images to judge it for yourself), I think it delivers what it promises.

I like the personality of the girl and I also like that the MC is not a pussy. He can actually beat the sh out of most people in there.
A good thing is that they take time to develop the relationship of the characterss.
But at the same time, the NTR stuff takes waaay too long to start IMO.
Gameplay is very simple and once you know what your'e doing, it becomes very easy.
I was deciding between 3 or 4 stars, but I decidetit will be 4 since the positives are more than the negatives in my opinion.

Honestly sort of want to give this game 5 stars simply because it does a lot right with the story. But the overall game mechanics are a bit lack luster so I can't wholly blame the worse reviews. And the art is as you see in the previews. Decent but nothing to write home about. The story on this game, however, is excellent.

Game play: 3/5
Realistically, you can knock out basically all the grind in the 1st and 2nd chapter and just need to be running around to the event/heart markers for most the rest of the game and reading the story. While the early motivator is money for your debts, it's best not to stress about getting it. If you run out of HP/stamina, you can just endlessly buy more potions so really the only brakes on exploring the dungeon are when you need to wait a day for something to happen/new items to be available at the shop.

You can also ignore a lot of the dungeon, it felt like. The main advantage of exploring it fully and collecting everything seemed to be more to make the final push easier to complete. You'll probably want full potions and gear you can get from shops as the enemies cost around 90 each time you run into them. But aside from that explore or ignore the dungeon as you please. (I ended with like 730 HP and think I found most everything)

Art: 3.5/10
It's not my preference for style as it always comes off a bit jenky. But it's not bad. There's a decent amount of it. Nothing is animated, but they do vary faces and postures within scenes a bit. If you like the art style, it's probably 4/5, if you don't then 3/5. If you hate it, then maybe worse.

Story: 5/5
This game is a rarity in the genre. While the NTR is unavoidable, it's well written and reasonably believable. You might not like the decisions made that led to it, but they're internally logically consistent and establish MC as not just some insert character but his own person. The romance leading up to it is good too and there's a decent number of MC x FMC scenes in chapter 2 and them being normal people who like sex.

• MC doesn't appear to have a micro penis or premature ejaculation issues
• The NTR, while unavoidable, is largely believable.
• The True End/Good End is achieved by making the logically smart decisions and you get your girl back and both move past the traumatic experiences.
• The full NTR/corruption side isn't ridiculous either and is more your typical "magical coercion" thing with a girl who's already been established to have a kinky side she was exploring with MC before the incident leading to NTR.

Honestly, the entire story is impressively well written for a porn game. The art is what you see with decent variations and amounts, and the biggest drawback is really that the game encourages you to grind, though for the most part you can actually ignore it if you don't mind making the final dungeon run high stakes. Even with maxing out the grind to find everything, you can probably finish through the True End in about 8 hours? maybe less.

Mining gameplay is engaging. However, this is not some special-branching "choices matter" game. The H progression is linear. Basically, every day is a day closer to you getting cucked more and more so do your best in the mines!

Well I guess I have a soft spot for trash games, at least comparing my take with other reviewers, anyways, this story actually touched a sweet spot for me, dunno why

I was initially reluctant to play it as I'm not the biggest fan of 3dcg games, in the end this was no exception, the art wasn't the main selling point for me and in fact I couldn't jerk off to it

Is it garbage then? No, specially when comparing it to the usual slop we see in the genre. What I liked the most about the game was the heartwarming scenes between the two main characters, I haven't seen such natural exploration of sexuality and development of a relationship between the two in a while (maybe I just have the bar too low, I'm honestly not sure), after the end of the second chapter I truly believed in the love between the two and that motivated me to get the true/happy ending

Btw, it is very refreshing to see an NTR male MC that isn't totally braindead (he still makes a few quite questionable choices but is not clinically insane)

Also, yes, the NTR is unavoidable (even in the true ending) for anyone that wants to know, a bit of spoilers in the details:
Regarding the gameplay, I actually enjoyed it, I focused on running from enemies and found a bit of an exploit that enabled me to have most of the items to progression in about 40 mins (about day 3-4 of the game), maybe because of that I don't hate that part of the game, though there are plenty of Quality of Life items to make your run easier (the TP to any dungeon floor and health potions). I wouldn't say it felt grindy

(also, very nice translation, sasuga dazed)

TLDR: The story is kinda nice, the game is about 4-6 hours, probably fine for a session, specially if you like NTR

This game is quite boring for me from gameplay to H-scenes.
As the guy below said, the beginning of the game is all about romance, the middle and end of the game are unavoidable ntr scenes. The plot is not convincing enough that MC and female MC leads love each other, so whether or not there is a romantic scene in the beginning of the game is no longer important, it's just a waste of time.

The biggest flaw of the game is the dungeon crawling in the first half of the game. for a few hours you'll explore and mine out the cave which is quite boring. Although this part of the game has several vanilla H scenes that progressively get lewder over time. After this the second half of the game begins. It starts with unavoidable NTR and depending on what you did in the first half you'll either be locked into the True route or progress farther into the NTR route. Personally I got the true route the first time (its easy to get). After clearing the true route you also get the gallery unlocked.

While the dungeon crawling was really subpar. I enjoyed the budding relationship between the MC and the Heroine. That really carried the game for me and while it may not be enough for others I am quite the sucker for romance.

Review of 1.06

Notes : Unavoidable NTR. Heavy Corruption.

tl;dr An overly linear game that was tedious and uninspired

Pros :
Decent sex scenes (vanilla consensual in early game, NTR in mid-late game)

Cons :
Plot that is so paper thin it feels as though it's baby's first NTR game
Dull writing
Incredibly linear
Tedious

---

Maybe I'm being a little harsh but my god I got bored playing this and I was skipping as much as possible.

The core 'game loop' consists of you exploring maps, collecting treasures, selling stuff for money etc. Nothing exciting, fairly tedious.

The rest of the game is just linear story that has a couple of branching points. The main problem I found is that the story is just so unbelievable weak that I didn't care about anyone in the game and caring about the emotional impact of the cheating is kind of a core tenet of an NTR game. If there was even a little more buildup it would have been interesting perhaps from the bizarre resolution to your early game debt problem to the forced rape into corruption arc it just had no meaning for me.

Finally it's just tedious beyond measure. Even skipping through as much as I could and essentially cheating my way through the tediousness that is the mining exploration, I still didn't complete the game because it just went on forever.

If you like rape into corruption/forced NTR, you might enjoy this after the first chapter but I need more of an emotional connection or a lack of rape to enjoy this kind of game. It just made no real sense to me.
