Ren'Py - Welcome to Erosland [v0.0.15] [PiXel Games]

v0.0.15
Synopsis
Fairly generic setup of portalling girls from various intellectual properties to serve in your establishment, with you needing to corrupt them. Much less romance than some others with more focus on sharing. Definitely not a management game, much more VN with some simulation elements.

Positives
-Good art. I prefer still CG's with nice, consistent artwork over sloppy or repetitive animations any day.
-Girls are aesthetically well-designed. Most have normal-ish boob sizes which is definitely a plus for me.
-English is strong with only a couple of typos. Storyline is coherent and the dialogue is generally natural sounding.
-Not grindy. I'm not counting the two most recent girls, since the dev explicitly said that they will now add more content for them. I think given this it's fairer to go by the first two girls as an indication of play:scene ratio and for them I was getting a scene every few days. However, this only holds true if they keep to the 5 main girls- if the MC adds another floor for 6 more newbies this would be a massive step in the wrong direction.
-Surprising amount of detail. There's variations for most scenes depending on corruption level and many other minor but appreciated touches. I especially enjoyed the clothing progression
-I only had one bug- 4th girl disappearing in the evenings which was only a minor annoyance.

Negatives
-My main UI complaint would be that the clothes store could use an indicator to show when a new item is available.
-As I said in my synopsis, tagging this as management puts people like me who like grindy, intricate managers on the wrong foot from the start. There's no hard choices about resource allocation or which girl serves which client. That's fine as long as people go in expecting things to be more VN heavy with the only choice being in what order things progress.
-Honestly, after the first three (esp 2+3) girls being a little off-beat, the final two were disappointing in being done to death. I know that was by vote, but democracy can suck at times.
-This game is comparable to Void Club and Park after Dark in setup and content. But I was much more attached to those games, despite them having lower production values and being, respectively, buggy and grindy/unfocused, where this didn't quite hit the mark. I think it's a combination of there being no real narrative peril, a rather bland MC/girls and the aforementioned non-management management. The first is obvious- there's no threat of eg. bankruptcy or the inquisition, so there's no urgency. Secondly, the most I can say for the MC is that he doesn't fall into the loser trope. Otherwise he is not evil, but he's not particularly principled, he's just milquetoast. Being unable to make any personality choices doesn't help this either. Thirdly, there's no sense of building a castle from nothing in a swamp on top of the first 3 that fell into the swamp- everything's just handed to you by following the story. Finally, the girls change so much that I didn't grow particularly fond of any of them. Perhaps extra content can fix these but I'm doubtful.

So basically, pleasant content for a few hours with some genuinely good moments, but as it stands, ultimately forgettable.

Summary: Review for v0.0.15 (24th November, 2024).
Welcome to Erosland is a weird one, the art is good, cohesive, the writing for the sex scenes is good. The game isn't janky. And it knows where it wants to go in terms of fetishes. Yet it lacks depth. If you like free use/corruption/public sex try this one out. 3.5 out of 5.

I loved The Wind's Disciple. I loved Raven's Quest. And I love Welcome to Erosland. Somehow PiXel Games manages to hit all of my fetishes.

My only complaint is that there isn't more of it. And I really hope that every girl will get some scenes with the Pokemon.

Bro, where did this game come from? I had no idea the makers of "Wind's Disciple" were doing something like this. It's absurd that a game with no prior warning has dropped onto the site with a version number that would imply it's anemic for content, and yet has more than most of the "completed" HTML/VN games that clutter the pages.

This game feels like it's mirroring those old flash brothel games, but with an actual storyline to go along with it. The writing is sometimes goofy and a bit juvenile, but this is made up for by the concept and pacing of the scenes and corruption.

I highly recommend this game if you enjoy corruption and trainer sims. There is already enough content in the game to make it worth downloading, which I don't say lightly.

[Nitpick] It could use some cleaning up in the UI & QoL department, as you'll do a little more clicking through menus than I think is necessary.

I'm not one to rate a game on potential, so the fact that I'm giving this 5 stars comes as a surprise to me, ngl. I kept expecting to get hit with a "in the next update" screen, but it just kept on going.

My biggest concern for the development of this one is burnout from the dev, as they've laid the foundations that hints at a lot more content to come. I just hope that they haven't bit off more than they can chew, and manage to maintain consistent pacing to deliver on the concept of the game in full.

Last words: I think the biggest advantage of this game is the mostly well-known characters, which of course make the whole thing more interesting than with strangers. Otherwise, the game doesn't have much to offer compared to other games in the same genre. What I would like to point out, however, is that I am personally a big fan of the various fetishes that have been included so far, which in my eyes makes the whole thing one of the top games of its kind. You can also see that a lot of effort has been put into the game and I'm looking forward to an update.

You know, some games pretend to be something their not. Most renpy games try and attach some sensible story for their characters. Erosland, is not one of those. Erosland is HOT, and it knows it. It doesn't dick you around in endless menu's, right from the start and up until the end their is something to wack it it to. Sexy costumes of characters I know, jacking off the player character and strangers? This is porn, pure as silk and hot as hell.

very very nice game with beautiful characters, a lot of bright colors and a lot of good content with plenty of variety, but the development is unfortunately super slow.

simple and straight forward corruption like their previous games, I would love to see the same level of customization they offered with the clothing option in Raven's Quest but it's still nice.

Iono's most recent progression introduced more interaction options with the attractions you send the girls to work at, It's super cool and I hope they do more of that in the future.

I would also love to see Hana going to work at Iono's barn and vice versa.

overall another great game from pixelgames, a very enjoyable game with a great potential for the future !

This is exactly what I want to see on this site: interactive porn in form of a game.

Pros:
- corruption is amazing
- writing is great (even if limited by the topic)
- characters are top notch
- art is great

Neutral:
- story, kinda

Cons:
- it's really linear
- gameplay (management) is close to nonexistent

While the game is pretty linear and gameplay is lacking, it doesn't matter at all compared to sheer amount and quality of porn, writing and characters.

Just like all the others game from this dev, this is a masterpiece.

wow. i played the first release and loved it. after telling myself id wait for a few more updates i finally caved and caught up. this has easily become one of my favorite games

the new girls (Iono, Angela and the band girls) are all incredibly hot with even hotter scenes to go along with them. especially Ionos scenes.

if youre into consensual sharing games then this is a must play

Review of 0.0.11

Welcome to Erosland has excellent art and kinky scenes but fails to execute on its premise leaving the player with a somewhat boring and unsatisfying experience.

The MC inherits an abandoned amusement park which includes technology that beams gorgeous women from alternate dimensions into his park. He trains them to be both personal sluts and free use whores for the guests of the park.

The art in this game is GORGEOUS. Plentiful amount of scenes. Each is usually a single base image, but a good amount of facial expression change makes the scenes feel alive. Additionally, many are built to add a second character which helps the variety.

As a big fan of free use, the girls' jobs in the park are some of my favorite scenes in the genre. Multiple partners, multiple holes, a perfect balance of lighthearded willingness and degradation.

The corruption is fun, but lacks any real mechanics to make it meaningful. While there are multiple girls, all the corruption arcs are pretty similar as they become submissive sluts just of different colors, in rapid, willing, and at times silly fashion. The paths are completely linear, segmented (must do most of girl 1 to get to girl 2) and lack any real stakes. You can't piss off the characters, or impact the arcs in anyway.

The most disappointing part of the game is the lack of any real management systems. The premise of an amusement park staffed by free use sluts is awesome, but completely undelivered. Currency is easily acquired but the options to update the park are linear and few and far between. You naturally stack $$$ without any decision or strategy. I had hoped this would be addressed in updates, but after two years of development no real progress has been made to the meaningless management systems.

Amazing art, solid faps, but a completely linear text scroller going from one event to the next without any real choice, gameplay, or thought.

Okay, Welcome to Erosland.

Actually, the project is very good, and I want to emphasize that practically all projects from this developer are good because you can feel the effort put into them. The art is genuinely enjoyable.

Gameplay-wise, it's quite simple, and there's nothing too complicated. It's like a fairy tale or a calm and unusual narrative with the player participating a bit. For absolute beginners or people who may lack sufficient intelligence, the game tells you what to do, when to do it, which, in my opinion, is not great. Playing this project won't require you to think much, but the project is genuinely good and deserves attention.

Version [v0.0.11] at review time.

Another great game from PiXel Games.
As its predecessors it caters primarily to the corruption/sluttery kink, although this time you don't follow a single lady, but rather play as a guy, who helps others slowly discover their sexuality.

I especially appreciate that there is no rape or forcing the girls into their roles - even though you do give them a push from time to time, it is always followed by the reminder, that they don't have to do anything they are not comfortable with.

And, well, I happen to absolutely adore happy and willing sluts, so I've been having a fantastic time with this game so far.

That being said, if you happen to identify with male leads in games and are not into sharing your partner, then you should probably skip this one.

From the technical side - the artwork is great, the writing is decent (the story itself might be lacking and kinda silly, but the main focus is character interactions anyways, and those I found rather compelling) and the grind is minimal.

A solid recommendation.

The art is hot and the trainer system is good enough but there is zero reason for this game to be a sandbox game. Most of Erosland is "under construction" and the story is pretty linear. That may change but it's gonna take a long this at this rate.

[0.10]
Another absolute banger by Pixel.
For now - more than playable. Yes, it is a corruption game but for now there is already tons of tasty depravity. Exhibitionism, cute titties (no giant milk bags), feet, tons of tasteful dirty talk, several girls (and interactions between them), whoring (public one too), lesbians, and upcoming (in the next updates) beasts. Good stuff. Can't wait for what this game can become in a year. 5 stars for real.

Nice curves, clothes and character progression

The balance between mc focus and girls' affairs is very appealing: they always have time for the mc, even when they are doing smth naughty

Girl's evening autonomy is nice too: they can try to interact with the mc or do smth alone or interact with each other! (all these things happen by themselves but can be triggered by mc too)

Excellent game with EXCELLENT Art

Story: 10/10 - I really enjoyed the story, one of the ones where you read what is going on. The scenes, and fun vibes from the characters - are awesome.
Fun: 10/10 - it is fun. Good vibes after the game - you want to return there.
HScenes: 9/10 - no animations BUT HOW AWESOME THIS ART!!!
Kink: 9/10 - solo, lesbian, just sex with MC, corruption, and JOBS scenes What else do I need in the game??? Of waiting for more characters and situations of corruption
Gameplay: 8/10 - management, but not much mechanics ATM, but you will LOVE IT

One of the best games in the genre.

Brilliant game, great art!!!
The characters are very hot and the scenes are for the most part unique between each other, and the pacing is good.

I would personally add windows that pop up, when you WOULD have progressed, but cannot because it isn't developed/ready yet, to make it more obvious!

The outfits that are here are hot, I know it's a lot of work, but I would like to see more various events through these different outfits+the upgraded versions. Which seems to be happening already through these updates.

SHARING GIRLS: (incase you don't know or aren't into this).
If it was not already obvious, you share the girls in a sort of brothel like management game. Meaning other NPCs will engage in sexual activity with the female characters that you also have sexual activity with.
You sort of train them in a sense, then send them out to act with that training. (Personally I'm not into it, but for a game like this it never bothers me).

This game overall is one of those masterpieces and just needs more time and development, it's already accomplished a lot and looks like it will have more. I hope the dev is enjoying making this game, because everyone is enjoying playing it!

TLDR as of .009: It's REALLY good, but don't play it. I can't give it any less than 5 stars since that would be an utter lie, but I 100% cannot recommend anyone to play this game yet.

Everything about this game is amazing. Art, Dialogue, the Sandbox, the Corruption, the progressively skimpier clothing, etc. However, I can't recommend this game simply because the rate of it's growth and the scale of what the game wants to do. As of right now, there are 5 "doors" in your inn/hotel, which implies 5 girls to live with, and from the pattern that we've seen, all from different universes. As of right now, there are 3 girls, and 2 "complete" stories for the girls, and it seems as if each girl will be able to "recruit" other girls from their universes (so a total of 10 girls). There also seems to be a plan set for multiple clothing items with different variations, multiple attractions, etc. However, this game gets updated around once every few months, and the updates only provide average-sized to small-sized content. I remember seeing this come out as version .001, and decided to let it cook in the oven. Now it's at version .009, and I got around 4 fun hours, but considering how long this game has been cooking, it seems as though what I got was very small.

So, if you're interested in this game, come back in 5 years. It'll be good then. If you decide to play this game anyhow, then you'll feel dissatisfied for every single update that comes up for years to come.

Love the art, been a fan since "The Wind's Disciple". Enjoyed the various outfits in "Raven's Quest" and was overjoyed that the outfit system was even better in this one with it becoming skimpier as the girls' levels progress. Only thing I can see as a downside is the long wait between updates but I can understand that it takes time to create such a great game. 10/10 game in my books.

Great art, pacing, and premise. Reminds me of Akabur as well, can't wait to see how it goes, and will be following closely! Perfect trainer, outfits, and content. Park expansion is going to be great, and this game has a good base to build off of.
