RPGM - Completed - Winter Memories [v1.08] [DojinOtome]

One of the best porn games I've played, I highly recommend it! However, I find the NTR aspect a little too limited, I hope there will be a sequel [Spring Memories or Autumn Memories] where we can learn a little more about the MC's parents [And if possible have a new character like the mother] In any case, this game is a masterpiece, just like Summer Memories!

I've played Summer Memories before, I enjoyed it. But I gotta say the sequel, this game, is much better than the last one. Winter Memories offered a lot of new things, upgraded mechanic from the last one. Overall it's a great game.

yo this might be the best game ive played in its genre this is perfect,i really want the developer to make more sequels for this too like spring memories or autumn memories,for real this is peak. no matter how long it takes ill still wait for a sequel because this is gem,the objectives were not too hard the hidden stuff and achievements were great as well,and the recollection room too to just unlock everything if you dont have time to finish this game,however i did finish this game with the whole experience,just wanted to write this review to show how much i appreciate these super well made games,keep it up DoujinOtome!

I think its a pretty good game, above average for sure, the music are pretty good on this one but the H aspect of the game is a meh, pixel H-scene don't work for me.

I will categorize it as a "cute game" 4/5

Better than the first one. More activities, more escenes and better animations. It'd need more girls and mix them all the imaginable ways. You can do that now but in pixel, it'd be better if we get more cgs of that. Where's the mom? HahahhaBuy it for more support please uwu

Winer Memories v1.08 is a direct sequel to Summer Memories from the experienced group Dojin Otome. The game follows the story from its predecessor, having many recurring characters and gameplay mechanics. Fans of the previous game will certainly find many similarities here and some slightly different mechanics. But overall it is a very faithful sequel. In Winter memories you are the young precocious protagonist, again visiting your aunt and cousins in the countryside. Your objective is to enjoy your winter vacation with your family and explore the city riddled with mini games, interactable characters and many obtuse secrets, while managing your character money, stamina, experience and so forth. Again, the game is vast and heartwarming, possessing many positive aspects in the regards of mechanics, gameplay, music, and writing. The game manages to mix gameplay and the content flawlessly, offering you fun minigames regarding the genre of the game and also having the classic specific scenes if you reached a certain value or completed a specific task, many of those hidden. By the end you can graciously start a new game plus, carrying all your progress to a new game, since the winter vacation is a timed period. Unfortunately this game has the same core problem the previous one had, the art is just plain ugly. I gave it a pass in the first game because it was a new installment with many new, creative mechanics. But now, it is something that the player can not overlook twice. After all the gameplay your reward is some ugly scenes. You'll notice how the proportions are weird, especially the head to neck. Hands, arms and chests are strange, off putting, and the genitals and fluids are simply terrible. Having to face this quality of drawing after so many grinding and great pixel visuals takes you right out of the game. I don't understand why Dojin didn't invest heavily into a more polished drawing like other similar games, but because of it, despite how good this game is in every other aspect, art-wise it's far from great. I recommend Winter Memories and understand it is a good game, but it is not without its faults in key aspects.

A worthy sequel that adds a lot more content and so many nice QoL changes (like easier use of items during H scenes), making it even better than summer memories.

Like seriously, this game improves on every aspect of Summer Memories, expands on existing mechanics, introduces new ones, and really just does everything right for a sequel.

Just like the last game, it has amazing art and animations.

There is a "perfect save" which eliminates all grind and makes the game considerably easier. I'm honestly just rating this as 5 stars to bump up the average rating. Just like the last game, there is also an option to simply unlock all the H-scenes immediately, so if you don't care about grinding just do that.

I hope Dojin Otome makes a "Spring Memories" game soon.

This title (and whole franchise for that matter) can most accurately be described as "simply poggers".

Who cares if it's a DLC or a Sequel? It has more of the same goodness as Summer Memories but even better. Every aspect of the previous game has been expanded and improved upon. More intricate gameplay, with deeper ( ͡• ͜ʖ ͡•) mechanics, more girls, better orgy ( ͡• ͜ʖ ͡•) system, and so on. I cannot recommend this enough.

WARNING: DO NOT play this game before getting acquainted with the prequel, it cannot be fully enjoyed otherwise.

Just like summer meories this its just and expansion or DLC of the other game.
The Minigames and the Grinding comes back and its still has tedius as before.
The art style its nice and thats it just the animations and some shity animation that you lock like 60 meter way from it and you dont see shit. Just like the other game just full save it or watch the full gallerie on rule34 videos just dont waste your time playing this expansion.

Some people have said this game is more of a victory lap after summer memories and I am inclined to agree to a point. You still do need to go through progression with girls and develop more relationships. Really enjoy all the characters though sometimes it feels like their is not enough content for some of the girls you can pursue. Dojin otome and Kagura have become my go to when I'm looking for a high quality sim game. Highly recommend for pixel art fans

Beautiful game, both in story and in H scenes, animations, let's not forget the beautiful voices of the girls which gives the game much more life, also the mini-games and the system to unlock both the main and secondary missions and on top of that with The NEW EX missions of the sub-heroines, simply incredible.

It's a good game, but it feels too much like an expansion, not a standlone game. The characters all all the same, story is ok, scenes still almost the same.
3/5, i don't recommend that much.
Not excited for a sequel.

one of the best! the sequel of summer memories. this one is a little shorter than the first, but you got more options tahn the other. I hope they keep making games like this. Go go go Boku, u deserve it!

I will preface my review with this: Play the side stories and mini-games.

9/10, and I ain't even halfway through the game yet.

Winter Memories improves on the prequel, Summer Memories in every way possible, and I initially went in not even wanting to play it, because I was somewhat bitter and irritated how, no matter how I filtered my searches, this game and it's prequel kept coming up at the top of all the ratings of all the websites and game distributors for adult games.

I DIDN'T WANT TO LIKE THIS GAME, AND I DO ANYWAYS.

A lot of the H-Scenes aren't my taste, are mostly just smut for smut's sake, and lean heavily into kinks that I actively don't like-

BUT-

I play it anyways because it's a DAMN GOOD game, and parts of the side stories are genuinely too damn entertaining to not enjoy.

This is a 9/10 game with an 8/10 cast, 7.5/10 H-Scenes, 10/10 gameplay (for a life sim), and as a BONUS, a 10/10 Shonen that's BEGGING to become an actual series on it's own.

I PLAY THIS GAME FOR THE MINI-GAMES DAMMIT!

Most of these waifus can go to hell if it means MORE MENTAI BEING A SHONEN PROTAGONIST-

I swear to god, they did not have to go THIS hard for a side story/side mechanic in a series, BUT THEY DID, and though it's often played for laughs because of how corny it is, I WOULD BUY A WHOLE FRANCHISE, that's just the Menko equivalent of Yu-Gi-Oh/Beyblade/Bakugan, with some harem shenanigans happening on the side/in the background.

I CAME TO GIVE IT A CHANCE-

AND I'M ANGRY TO ADMIT MY EXPECTATIONS WERE NUKED-

The best romance in this series is the bromance between Boku and Mentai basically just being two completely different genres of protagonist, and still being best friends anyways.

We've HAD Boku being a harem protagonist with Shonen hijinx happening in the background, NOW I want the other side where it's Mentai being a shonen hero, with Boku in the background getting into hentai hijinx.

This is unironically, the best character dynamic I've ever seen in an H-game, and it has NOTHING to do with the hentai AT ALL.

GIMME A SPIN OFF CALLED "MENKO MEMORIES", AND I WILL DIE HAPPY AND LAUGHING.

The rest of the game is good too by the way, this is just my favorite part personally, this game has some tags like "urination" that are a turn off for a lot of people, but honestly, if you can get past that, this is one of the most in-depth H-games in terms of actual gameplay I've ever seen with mechanics for fishing, cooking, Menko, homework, building relationships, avoiding detection, shrine donations, a fair amount of skills that aren't just sex animations, a working calendar and time system where each action and move you make costs time, and each day is broken up into segments, but unlike the first where it was just Morning/Noon/Evening/Night-

You still have those time blocks (here split into Morning/Noon/Dusk/Evening/Late Night), but each actually have a set amount of minutes in the day that they last for, so you can actually do more in a single time block than just one main action like it was for the previous game.

You also have multiple ways of leveling up and progressing, being able to unlock skills from making memories at the end of each day, and being able to increase your stamina, lust, money or memory points by leveling up AS you're doing activities each day.

Sure, a lot of the game is mini-games, but they're mini-games that actually have a meaningful impact in how you progress, which is pretty good, in a weird way, I'd almost compare this game to a lot of farming games? Games like Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley, but if all the farming were instead thrown out in favor of more focus on relationship building.

There's also achievements that each unlock new features and mechanics when you unlock them, like having tons of sex unlocks an achievement which grants the ability for you to be able to make a mess and not have it be found suspicious, or clean so many times that whenever you clean, it cleans the entire house all at once.

And all that is coming out of an RPGMaker game, an engine that's often used to not very good effect, or has to explicitly lean into a very specific style of game in order to be good, but here, it doesn't even look or play like RPGMaker, if I weren't explicitly told that was the engine by the tags, I never would've been able to tell and would've assumed that it's made in something like Ren'Py, or something completely different.

It seems as though the devs made this game from the ground up to be almost entirely original, and I respect it for that.

Overall, there's much I could say, except-

Women are for winter, but Menko is forever.
Believe in the power of friendship.

One of the best games on this site, and even better than Summer Memories. There is a ton of content, with multiple characters and side activities. The writing is much better than it needs to be, with endearing characters who have distinct personalities, and moments that are genuinely clever and funny. All of this works alongside the game's nonlinear structure to make the world very fun to explore. I can only hope the creator decides to make a third game in the series, maybe with the protagonist's mother and possible sisters as heroines as well. I recommend playing Summer Memories first, but definitely check this out.

Another banger from doujinotome. I didn’t even realise that it was released. The game play is more or less the same. A big difference in both games are the time periods for completion the original game had around one month but the sequel has a skill that extends its time period but the general time frame to complete it is around 24 so days I believe. Other than that the quality of life improvements and new additions are immaculate. The gameplay and story is respectful to a point that the game feels like we are revisiting the summer memories series in a beaut and heart touching way. I am looking forward to the addition of dlc and new content from this series entry.

Blank cold memories.

~Lack of thrill > lack of interest.

First of all.
What make sharp sensation really excite - it is possibility to get caught and failled,but succesed and get undercovered anyway with right-timing action management.
Good old formula from Kojiiimboooooo's MG what worked perfectly in Summer - almost wiped out here.
Less vigilance by others and more free actions = less challenge and fun.You got too much free time and has nothing interesting
to do with that.Only one threat - Uncle can be easilly removed.
In Summer, you was more tied up by resources and daytime that made you come up with building your own strategy to get as much
funny activities as possible.And knowing all the possibilities later, it gave a good motivation to go rerun.
In winter - you got all FUN content almost with no efforts right from the start - and it give a flavorless taste of it.

Secondly.
Corruption It is not growing,cause almost all girls already corrupted from the start.(fall in Boku)
And every event feeling like grindwall to another H event,but not really like girl development that would lead us to sense of achieving something special.Separately, there is now a function chat to girl for that.
WHAT they could at least implement - jealousy system - the more you waste time on another girls the more affection - decreasing.
Silent fuck them in secret or..
Achieve to relationships to coexist with certain girls at once and get group sex as final reward. Like..
Kagami/Mizuki - find out that they are neighbors > quests > double H ivents > groupe sex as reward.
By now you are wasting too much attention on same girl in solo route and it already was in Summer,it is not interesting anymore.
Really Huge miss of opportunities!!!

Few new girls.
Kanae absolutely blank and not interesting.Look like a twin sister to Miyuki.(It seems that the author's imagination has run out on her)
In other hand Hikari route really get vibe like how good it was in previous game.Limitations and hiding accidently started relatinonship temporarily unable to have sex in cause of another character nearby,cracking and sloooowly corrupting her determination - It makes the blood boil!
Her shy personality and how gradually and unobtrusively she came to the story - make her only best good remarkable thing in this game.
Overall.
It is plays like big DLC to main game.Is it worth playing before Summer Memories? Absolutely NOT!
Only,right after main game if you are hungry for more scenes with these girls.
Ill played after huge break and patiently waiting to full release not touching early raw versions - in hope to get something really new..
But author just drawn more pictures in already well-known diary and story.
Not bringing something innovation.My only new reveal and sensation was Hikari.Level dissapointment and frustration from high expectations is Huge..

So it is what it is.

tldr; Ridiculous. This game is not just everything a porn game should be, but everything a sequel should be. It succeeds in almost every way in almost every category. I wouldn't put it at #1 in any one aspect, but it's #1 for most boxes checked. If you're into kind, older women, do play.

The warning at the beginning is legit. You will enjoy this even if you didn't complete Summer Memories, but you will enjoy this much more if you have, and Summer Memories will feel bad to play if you try and do it second.

Gameplay 5/5:

What a refreshing change to see a real sandbox game with proper balance of play/sex. Usually all we see here is visual novels that are either one-way spacebar stories or half-assed click grinders, most of which use the same uncreative models and animations to tell the same uncreative stories. Either that or garbage RPG Maker games with barely a badly drawn boob between boring guesswork as you run around hitting z. Occasionally we see a well made sidescroller or metroidvania, but these often put in the sex content as an afterthought and you usually have to lose to see it which means more time. Their flaws usually stand out so heavily because the sacrifices to gameplay or sex are obvious and profound.

Winter memories stands between these boxes and often apart from them.

Not a lot of the gameplay is super involved. Yes it's a location clicker. There's some reflex stuff, a bit of thinking, and a lot of trial and error, but there is always a way to outwit the grind whether through items or hints and I never felt stuck or confused. Timing is everything and if one attempt at progress with a girl doesn't work out you know you're only missing something simple and there's always other things to do instead while you come back around and always opportunities for sex in between. It is very open and adjustable to your preference.

In the later days, when your power and capabilities outpaces the remaining unlockable content, it can feel a bit of a drag trying to unlock the last few things, but the game doesn't demand it of you. Time is always skippable and you can end the game whenever you want with any of the completed girls.

This is a masterclass in the hentai game space and devs should take notes on the near flawless execution of a simple premise. Balance, pacing, and content are the keys to success here. There's always a way around, there's always something to do, and you set your own timing with enough constraints to push you forward.

Sex 4/5:

Simply put, time and effort is rewarded with excellent content. I understand this might be unfair to compare with stuff done by solo devs who don't have the time or experience to compete with the quality and/or quantity of what's in Winter Memories, but let this game be a role model.

I'm not super picky about my fetishes as I'm pretty vanilla, but to be more general and constructive, I can say that for me and hopefully many of you, variety and access are the most important things in the sexual content of games barring any personal preferences.

Access - How easy and often can I get to the juicy stuff while still having it feel earned?
Variety - Is there enough different scenes/girls/positions/dialogue to keep me interested?

This game nails both of those requirements without sacrificing any of its story or gameplay to do so. If you are into nurturing, kind, horny older women, then you've passed the only check required to get off to this one. All the edges are polished and there's as much of it as you can stand. It helps that a lot of the warming up was done in the first game.

My only complaints are minor nitpicks when it comes to variety. There are lots of girls to fuck, lots of ways to fuck them, and lots of hot dialogue around and during it, but not much to differentiate the characters, even less than the first game. All the girls have pretty much the same body type and personality. The game spends a lot of time trying to convince you that they're different, but they're different in plot and backstory only.

The sexual content does start to feel samey by the endgame no matter which girl you're spending most of your time with. And fair enough, there's only so much excellent pixel work and animations you can expect and it makes sense that a lot of it is copied between the characters, that's the sacrifice they made to have so much content in the first place, but even the variations on their dialogue is miniscule (at least when it comes to sex) and that gets pretty noticeable long before the game is over.

Story: 4/5

I try not to rate the plot and characters by comparing them to other games, but by gauging how successful I feel the game is at pulling off what it intended to do. In terms of overall engagement, this would be closer to a 3/5, but I give it 4/5 because it feels like they genuinely did exactly what they wanted to even when that wasn't to my taste.

There isn't much to analyze or criticize. It's a relaxing slice of life vacation plot where your young protag-kun has a magical dick that all girls will eventually wanna jump on once they are lonely/horny enough. That said, there are many welcome variations on the tropes and some standout aspects I'll list here:

1. It's less that your dick is magic, and more that every other dick in town is seemingly useless. Protag doesn't even have a particularly big one, he just uses it more and better.
2. There are no awkwardly forced supernatural elements to the game that aren't either just implied or tongue-in-cheek. Nothing that makes you roll your eyes or is in any way vital to the story being told.
3. The Mentai sidestory is absolutely buckwild and hilarious, even more so if you played the first game. It's basically a perfect parody of the kind of shitty games and bad anime that we always expect using pogs, with one twist that had me laughing out loud, and another that actually managed to be badass despite the whole subplot being a joke.
4. At no point does the writer(s) get in their own heads and waste your time trying to justify, explain, or complain about how this kid is banging so many girls. They trust your suspension of disbelief for the sake of the game. It's also not actually a harem though the family is kinda half there.

The characters are all cute/sexy and well designed if a bit too similar. Each story on it's own has a beginning, middle, and end, though only the Mentai one is really memorable. The side characters are fun and the dialogue can be pretty funny when it isn't just rolling around in feelgood encouragements or flat out debauchery.

Overall, this is just a gem and one I'll go back to a lot because it isn't just a great hentai game, it's actually a pretty good game.

an excelent game, the best pixel art that was made until now, i strongly recommend. Lots of content, master piece by doujin otome. Wish that will be released a dlc in the future. Boku had a wildlife XD
