EDIT FINAL THOUGHTS: The renders are very very nice. It's just getting to the scenes is so frustrating and so difficult, it completely ruins the experience. I'm giving an extra star because renders are good, but the gameplay is catastrophically horrible and ruins the experience. you'll get so frustrated by the time you do actually get to a scene that you won't be in an erotic mood anymore, you'll just be pissed off from the frustrating time of trying to find the objectives.
EDIT: You have to go to the damn classes. MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS GO TO THE DAMN CLASSES.
EDIT: I tried the game again, but I CANNOT get the first date with Alex to start. I bought the suit for $50.00 .. I have $62.00 left over. It's Tuesday. I went in and out of the restaurant by the nightclub over & over and again between 18:59-19:04 but the first date just won't trigger or show up anywhere. I even tried going to her house and it doesn't show up.
I tried... I REALLY TRIED. I even tried to write a walkthrough: https://f95zone.to/threads/vicious-circle-v0-3-public-mirony.54754/post-5265384 I documented my experience as you can see.
This is an example of an RPGMaker game gone horribly wrong. It represents all the negative aspects of RPGMaker. Have I played a good RPGMaker game? YES, absolutely. There are RPGM games that are designed properly, but this is NOT one of them. The game is EXTREMELY complicated and it's too difficult to know where you're supposed to go or what you're supposed to do next, even with the quest journal in the game.
PROS
----------
-ALEX. She looks amazing. She is one of my favorite characters from DAZ Studio.
-It has all the fetishes I like, but I wasn't able to SEE ANY OF THEM. Grrrr.. SEE CONS...
CONS
------------
- After about 2 hours of playing, I was not able to see any actual porn content. This is a huge problem. Mind you, I was documenting my experience with the game, so let's say I played for 1 hour 30 minutes to be fair. Still, the game is way too complicated.
- The English could be better, but it's forgivable. I really tried giving the game a fair shot. *sigh*
- The biggest problem is GETTING TO the actual content, it's damn near impossible.
- You have to eat and drink water in the game, but I can't figure out how to do it. I keep having to wait until my character starves & gets dehydrated. Then it sends me to the hospital, so annoying.
BUGS: The game has a catastrophic bug where if you hold down the movement key down as you leave and enter a new area, it has a chance to break the automated sequences of NPC. For example, when you come out of the sports complex on Monday, if you're holding down the arrow key, it has a chance to cancel the student from telling you to visit the Curator. So your character just stands there frozen.
I wish I could've seen some porn in this porn game, but there was none to be found. Listen, THERE IS porn in it, I looked at the renders in the game folder, but actually finding it in the game takes WAY too long. You have to go through so many negative RPGMaker crap, aimlessly wandering around, not knowing what to do next, constantly having to alt tab to search the game thread on f95, what a nightmare.
I think you're supposed to go to various classes. I was able to find one, but that's it.
This has been one of the worst RPGmaker experiences I've ever encountered.
One of my favorite games of all time was made using RPGM, so I'm not biased against RPGM, it just needs to be done properly.
I'm so pissed cuz I really liked the Alex character. I really wanted to see scenes with her. THIS SUCKS.
