QSP - World between World [v0.10.1] [LoM]

Version 10.1

Usual absolute trash life sim in Russian Engrish. 2 hours and 2 very tame sex scenes.

It's just a huge, boring grindfest, with interminably slow progression and pretty average UI. So many clicks to get anywhere. Do people actually play their games any more?

Besides the terrible writing (well, awful grammar and sentence structures. If it was proper English it could be ok to good, but it isn't, so it isn't), the story is the same old trope of a mysterious magical item. Its all been done before and loads better, so unless you have a day for a mildly fapable experience, don't bother.

This game has been rated ridiculously low, so let's remedy that and give you my view. We have a story around a student who has an encounter with magic and tries to learn what that is all about - at his own risk.

• UI: Clean design with the most important parameters at hand. Anyone who played SOB will immediately know how to work with this UI.
• Language: Actual english not the horrible MTL "cancer" english we grew accustomed to in most QSP games. So you can understand and follow hints in the text.
• Consistency: Videos and pictures are consistent with the actresses chosen for the various NPCs which is a huge plus if not pre-requisite in my book. Video quality is good.
• Story: I like it. It's not the common dumb porn logic like in many HTML/Sugar/Vine games, but has an actual background story which builds and extends as you play. There is also a hint / log book to give you reminders about the due steps to work on for story progression.
• Incest: Some but not dominant. No mother around (yet), at a later stage you encounter your sister.
• Game paths: Mostly two - playing dominant/regular versus a more submissive approach. Later on there are also gender swap phases (part of the magic) but no forced feminization or such
• Money management: Jobs etc are clear. Early versions had balancing issues with 1-2 occasions where it did take you some time to get over a certain amount of money required, but this has been resolved and performing jobs is a necessary part but money will not stall your progress if you are consistently doing jobs.
• Grinding: Yes, there is grind which I welcome (effort/reward), but money aside, the grinding is pretty decent compared to SOB/BK. The largest grind trap you could fall into is by trying to just peak all stats of the NPCs you encounter in the hope for quick sex scenes but the game doesn't work like that. The scene triggers are story driven and you need to make aware choices based on the story / log book which NPC you put effort into at what time. Else you get frustrated as nothing seems to happen despite all your efforts.
• Updates: Pretty frequently about every 2 months I'd say. The dev decided to not offer high patron levels to avoid overdue release pressure and keep it a fun project. Should you support the dev like I do, the invest is pretty minimal. So it's obviously not a money grab.

Not worth playing in any way.... I have spent probably a couple of hours, reading the forum, checking the code to try to progress (and another couple hitting a brick wall playing the game), and either you invest a good deal amount of time reading, checking or asking, or you are going to be stuck from the beginning. The hint system is ridiculous, the translation is pretty horrible, and you end up hitting blocks in activities without any warning. Swimming in the pool doesn't do anything, but then at sea it does, to a certain point. jerking yourself to death does something, until it doesn't, There is a "gym" that the game tells you it costs 30000 roubles to access, but don't bother, because when you save them grinding to death (or cheating, most likely...) You cannot access!.
Yes, I know, in the forum you will find help, but you will be going there every 5 minutes..... Long story short. If you like Qsp games, like I do, there are a ton better ones than this one.

TL;DR at the bottom.

When I read the 1-star reviews, I thought they were exaggerating. Surely, it couldn't be THAT grindy, it's a porn game after all, right? Well... They weren't. I would say they understated the grind, even.

I legit spent at least 2 hours just clicking the 'snooze' and 'wait 2 hours' buttons. There isn't even enough meaningful actions you can do to spend your energy, so you need to use snooze to skip time to the next day. There are NPC's and places, but 99% of the time interacting with them does nothing, because you need to follow a very strick step-by-step process to progress, and no logic or reason will make you figure it out on your own.

Example: At one point I got my relationship with a girl to "This is Vika, we are are best friends and there is love between us." these are the final relationship levels, the end of the grind. Well, what did I get for almost half an hour of repeated actions? Nothing. Not even a hanky panky. I couldn't even use the flirt action with her, despite the previous relationship level before 'loving' being 'easy flirting'. The first Flirting action, 'compliment', actually lowered the relationship level, and this was true for all relationship levels. The reason? Because guess what, it turns out MC has acne, and you can't flirt with acne no matter your relationship level. Nowhere does it even say the reason your flirting even fails. Your character description just says you have acne. That's it.

"WELL DUMMY, CURE IT THEN", you say. You're right! I tried, there's a health center with a beauty salon and medical center, so the solution is simple right? Lol. When you go there, you don't get the option to cure it at all. Not even another grindy process, not an option at all. What you gotta do is, go to this woman, who is in the university building, who you spent an hour IRL doing workout actions and licking her feet, and talk to her. She basically says you gotta pay 50k monies to cure it at medical center. 25k if you become her slave. It is EXTREMELY specifically railroaded. Then and only then can you start actually flirting, and even after that you won't get anything beyond kissing without following some very specific steps, written in your notebook. Add in the fact you need to grind money too, a lot of it. It's, again, just repetitive clicking and skipping time. These aren't 'repeat 3 times' actions by the way, even progressing relationships with the girl who points you at the acne cure takes like 10-ish repeat events. And the events need to be on specific days, at specific times. Your Pushups need to be punctual, bro. What a waste of time. This is supposed to be a Sandbox game, by the way. Figuring the Dev's weird thought process is the only Sandbox part of the game.

Oh, also the UI is an unintuitive mess for how much moving around you need to do.

There are more things I can bash, like the pay-walled notebook which acts as a guide, and the god-awful writing, but I won't. The sheer amount of time you need to spend to get to anything worthy of a wank, is utterly absurd. Even if you knew the exact things you had to do to progress. Add to this the fact this has no value as a non-porn game because of its awful design, any minute you spend in this game ends up thrown into the garbage pit.

TL;DR: Unplayable without cheats, and a waste of time even with them. So bad in fact, I'm suspicious that any positive comment and any review above 2 stars are the Dev's alt accounts.

this game is a grind similator. Ok we used to grind so we can but between the grind you cant find any activity. You can not talk anyone, you can not find any random activity, you have to finish that grindy quest after that you can grind an other quest. Between the quest you can do nothing.

2 hours later I coundt see any scenes! I bored to death and delete this shit. You want to fap? Close your eyes and imagine something that far more enjoyable.

Could be good but bogged down by the standard QSP Grindy McGrindface grind. It does seem to have a plot of sorts, and there are actual quests (most hidden behind a paywall), so the player gets some sense of progress.

Each quest with each NPC is a grind. In a few cases the grind is only repeating the same action six or seven times, other cases it seems to be twenty or more.

On the plus side, the jobs are not grindy and the game doesn't start with the usual poor-ass protagonist that just has to grind for money before anything else can happen. On the minus side, the sandbox play means that the player will be using the "fast time passage" button a lot because there sandbox only has a trickle of sand in it.

If the dev adds sand to the sandbox and cuts the grind by 90% I'd enjoy this game. But right now it is barely worth anyone's time.

The game is not bad (reviewing 0.5.1 version).
The story is not deep, but fun to follow. There is some amount of good sex content. As always it's pretty grindy in sense of money, relationship points and quest completing, but it's all fine and doable.
The major setback for me was the hint system, it's not really obvious and can take some time to figure out (or just buy it from the developer).
I suppose femdom fans would find this game even more attractive.
Hope the author will continue developing, cause this game can become rly good in its segment.

Can see developer has put in a lot of effort - however there are no hints unless you pay. Without hints you can not complete or procede with the game, also far too much grind. It can be a good game and see what happens with future updates but at the moment it is too frustrating

cant tell if im doing something wrong or not but trying to deflower these girls are annooying. still no magic. broke as fuck. talking and flirting dont raise stats anymore. groping still a no. 1000 dollar candies to hold only 2 and give only once a day to even get passed the 600 mark for love and even after 700 i still cant grope. games needs major balance updates cuz it is torture.

As of ver 0.3.6

It's hard to find ANYTHING in this game that isn't awful

- utterly terrible dialogues (isn't even due to the horrendous English translation)
- terrible writing
- illogical quest blockers
- interconnected quests that make absolutely impossible to skip any of the quests
- unfinished romance paths without ANY hint about their unfinished state
- grind-grind-grind, even if you find the built-in loophole
- female protagonist tag while female protagonist isn't included, not even as transformation yet.
- lesbian tag without any lesbian content
- terrible UI
- several built-in but not yet functional features, locations

In its current state, it doesn't worth even the electricity you use to download it.
