RPGM - Completed - Worm Nest Plague [v1.02] [ST Hot Dog King]

Doesn't quite live up to the enormous potential, but still an impressive game.

I was immediately drawn in by the interesting premise, good writing and fun fetishes. Far better than another game with a similar idea called Star Knightess, in that it didn't waffle endlessly. Meaning you actually got to the lewd content you're here for.

Excitement remained as several parts of the body opened up, crafting and breeding. Plus combat with NSFW art. However, it quickly becomes clear the Dev spread himself too thin. The crossbreeding steals the spotlight from the diseases you encounter in the body (after finding in the overworld). Meaning you end up gated in certain areas until you earn affection with the future parents. Then the end game area is too big for the amount of content. Boss battles could have been in the body parts and saved some running.

The combat is easy. So I'd advise anyone reading this to ignore crafting more than the most basic gear, instead focus "Gifts" to build enough affection for the events and subsequent breeding. Learn the TP gain moves and spam the overpowered AoEs the late game Disease's get.

I really loved the concept of this game! Corruption/infection mechanics and stories are my absolute fave! It also explored a number of alternative fetishes that I found interesting. It'd be awesome to see a more evenly paced slow burn approach to this story, because this one definitely kinda raced for the finish.

That being said, the gameplay around said story was so so. It was interesting for maybe the first two or three areas but by the time you finish those you've seen just about all the game has to offer for combat sex animations. The combat isn't particularly difficult or long though, your characters become virtually incontestable fairly quickly, so the grind wasnt terrible and ended I up stretching it out longer than needed so I could see all the preggo variants of each team member.

Overall, I'd say it's worth checking out if you're into corruption, infection and parasites. Which I assume you are since you're here. You're not going to be wowed by anything in particular, but its a decent entry in a fairly niche genre.

Okay so this dev CLEARLY missed the problems with his previous work and literally 1:1 copied its layout and overlayed it onto another story. I have to give credit to the creativity regarding the story though. It is pretty clever, however the gameplay, and everything else is just as bad as in the previous game Para Ark. The gameplay is grindy, unnecessarily so, and is somehow worse in this title... Literally learned nothing from that game. Pretty confusing that but I digress.

The skills and combat is really confusing at first and is oversimplified to the extreme where nothing makes sense and there is literally no challenge to it. Things just happen and you get the usual repetitive boring cut-ins which will annoy you to no end. The newly introduced minigame dos not help in that regard either and in fact makes it WORSE.

The only redeeming quality is the cleverness of the story and the fact that your new "pokemons" feel a bit more unique than they did in the previous game. Other than that, not a whole lot of improvement. Maybe even a bit on the contrary. Really a very barebones game. Grindy, repetitive and boring.

Pretty annoying considering the potential of this one too...

This is not a incredible experience in the game but I have to say I really liked the story direction and have thoroughly enjoyed the mechanics and content thus far. It was funny to play inside and outside, even if the gameplays looks similar.

Exactly what I want out of a corruption type game

The art is good, the scenes progress nice and I enjoyed collecting all the characters. Touches all over less "mainstream" porn stuff but it's all done decent. But most importantly, the gameplay doesn't make me wanna die. It progresses nice and the actual battle system is interesting. Very little grind I only had to grind the affection out of like 3-4 characters out of the around 20 and any scenes I missed, I had more than enough keys collected throughout the game to unlock.

TLDR - Awesome premise, amateur execution.

As stated elsewhere, focusing on the host corruption is really fun. The mechanics with respect to bulking up your army of pathogens is interesting too.

The game suffers from awful grind. repetitive music, and a lack of real-world consequences as the corruption progresses.

Most of the criticisms below I agree with, so I will not repeat them. Some things that would have really improved the game:

* Each body region (brain / heart / womb / etc) should use different tiles, so you can visually distinguish the regions. There should probably also be novel game mechanics in each region. As it stands, you literally just infect a bunch of "body cells" and then fight some immune cells and get boned by some pathogens. Every time.

A good game that does this sort of corruption thing *right* is Star Knightess Aura. If each body part had its own quests, like a little village, and you had to infiltrate, corrupt certain members of the political, military, whatever, that would have been way more engaging and fun. Act too quickly, and get killed / busted by the immune system. Act too slowly? There was no punishment for acting slowly, so nothing to press narrative tension.

* The real-world needs way more fine-grained corruption. Every time you bust a crystal in the body, you should have new events / new interactions unlocking in the real world. As it stands, real world seems like an afterthought. Especially the "sleepwalking cave."

* Game is horribly balanced. My characters were OP from the start, yet without any good AOE spells, it was grind grind grind. The enemies are not specialized, do not work well / collaborate with each other, there is no challenge in combat. As mentioned elsewhere, your growing colony really has the same basic attacks. The dev tried to address this somewhat with a "Specialized" menu, but these attacks / buffs / debuffs often pale in comparison to just "Lick Pussy," so what's the point?

* Lesbian scenes between pathogens was pretty mid. The real place for the corruption to shine was the real-world. How does Lily deal with this in her daily interactions? There was tons of opportunity for her to struggle with / hide / rationalize her outward body changes. None of this was leaned in to. Like other characters asking her about things and the player having the the choice to respond? And if you respond poorly, you get discovered? See, the game is just birthing mechanics on its own And the long tongue? You'd think she'd look in the mirror, or know, or feel, freak out? Maybe she'd start masturbating it? Experience cognitive dissonance? So much wasted opportunity.

So please dev, realize you hit gold here on the concept, and please team up with a skilled mapper, a skilled author, and a musician and take this game to the level that the concept deserves.

Giving this a four star after some deliberation. Originally was going to give it a 5 out of 5 but realized that was wrong.

Best part

Very unique story premise - Love how the corruption works here and the story progression.

Genre - Not into vore and nipple fuck. However this game made me like them. The art wasn't "too much" for me. Like it wasn't too disgusting.

World Concept - Interacting with the outside world and inside her body was great. Like a solid good foundation to a better game.

Getting new characters - Another very unique mechanic and I love it. Made me go to the grind easier. Both in cross breeding and pathogenic ways

Each skill has a hentai animation - Great work on this one. Didnt expect it and i love that it was implemented. Wished that each character had a different animation though

Good

Outside world - Wished there were more things to do. More differing events. Would be awesome if all the types of corruption she endured had like at least 5-10 scene without it getting stale. 10 might be too much but at least 5

Sample
Vore 1 - 10
Nipple fuck 1 - 10
Brain fuck 1 - 10

Bad:

Combat - too grindy and in the end just spam lesbian kiss and you are good to go
Combat skills - A lot of useless skills
Pregnancy - honestly getting the enemies pregnant doesnt get you any where. At least in my playthrough i found them useless. Vore is a much faster way to do it
Auto battle - only uses the fight mechanic and not the skill. Which made auto useless tbh
QTE - doesnt really matter as long as defense break you can impregnante.

Overall its a great game with a solid foundation. Fix the bad part and ill be giving this a 5 out of 5

It's a very good game, especially if you like the genres it contains, but MY GOD, it's too much farming, I started using cheats halfway through the game because the combat is interesting, but sloow and that adds to having to get 20 affection with each character and that every time there are more and enemies, also, I was spectating more content of the outside world and the effects of what you do in the outside, but I guess that can be fixed in a sequel

Much content, specific art-style, it may look simple, but there 20+ different characters and more than enough erotic scenes.
There are rare fetishes like vore and parasites. i spent 9 hrs for full playthrough. But i dont like some combat mechanics, if you increase speed of battles, qte speed also increased. But its not a big problem

This is a great fucking game.
I gooned to this for hours on end. Something about giving the player agency over infecting it's host, infecting different parts of it's body is so hot.

Typical 'corruption' games usually has the woman lose to big dick.
But here, you are corrupting her on a molecular level. Thats fucking hot as shit!!

I haven't played the older games of this dev, and they seems like a one off type visual novel thing in RPGM. Play it and forget it.
But this one is a real game.
I'll keep an eye out for this dev and their upcoming work.

great concept, not good at execution. Too much grinding with little payoff at the end. Everyone have same skill, there's no unique character in gameplay.
I'll give this 3 star because it's unique. If the dev put effort more in story maybe this can go to 4 star.

Different than most games as it feels like its actually you doing the corruption, fights can be a bit long and not everything has its own animation yet but its nearly there. I hope we get a bit more overworld content and best case another girl to infect.

Alright, I've played enough of this game to see where it is going.

In this game you play as a disease that entered a woman. This is a fairly interesting take, and refreshing too. Not only do you play a female character, but you play female character inside another female character.

The story revolves around you being a disease that entered a woman. In order to grow and take over your host, you must enlist other diseases such as the flu. The diseases hang out in different areas of the body that you will travel to. Unfortunately all these areas look similar. You enlist the other diseases by sort of proving yourself by fighting off the various agents of the immune system.

You mostly play as the disease, but at times you get to take control of the woman and move her around in the, well, outside world where she starts to feel the progression of the disease.

This brings me to the weak part of the game: it involves a lot of grinding by fighting repetitive fights against the samey enemies. That becomes boring really fast.

This game would've been better suited to be much more story driven and not rely so much on combat. More interesting fights could occur if it only had 1 or 2 combats per area. It's unfortunate that the dev currently feels that combat is the only way to pad the run time for game that would've been a fairly unique take - if also much shorter.

Anyway, here's the breakdown:
The Good

• A fairly unique take
• Interesting setting and cool premise for the story

The In-between

• Alright art, nothing to write home about

The Bad

• Repetitive combat
• Samey enemies
• Too much grinding
• Would've been better if more story-focused and less battle oriented

The only reason i give this 4 Stars is that whenever this guy makes a game like these he puts a lot of stuff behind grinding, that would not be bad if the grind itself would feel exciting to do but it feels more like padding.

v0.04
This is a clone of that space exploration game by the same dev, this time however the game setting and gameplay is much more crazy.

Warning: the themes in this game are INSANE!
You are a biological parasite (imagine the huggers from aliens vs predator) who has infected a new host, illustrated as an anime girl because this is an H-game which does not care about reality, and your mission is to attack the immune system cells of the host, you fight them, you inject them with your parasite DNA (H-scene), you devour them when their hp is low (H-scene), really crazy and unique design definitely.

You also fight other pathogens, you can let them inject DNA into you (H-scene) to create your own allies, or you can devour them when their hp is low (H-scene). There's a heavy amount of pregnancy involved here, from pregnancy you can either consume the fruit in your own womb to regain 25% health and mana, or you can breed and collect the products to use in crafting recipes.

As a parasite, you are infecting different parts of the host and activating different symptoms. The dev even put a disclaimer that the game's story is not medically accurate in real life, which is hilarious. The process of slowly infecting everything should be kinda, dark and disturbing, but nope, you are listening to relaxing melodic RPGM music, kinda meme-y for sure.

You can also, switch to the host and run around in some city to interact with people and see events. The symptoms the host catches become very visible, but yet, no one reacts or comments on this, this is very immersion breaking and it's not finished.

To progress you will need allies which cannot be found in a normal way, so you gotta do cross-breeding to create them, it takes a lot of grinding to make these sadly.

To have fun you are required to go to settings and edit a few thing about the game speed, and to remove the shitty QTE that require accuracy. Otherwise, you will have a bad time.

when the grind is fixed I will rate this higher, 4/5 for now.

Edit - v1.02, yep everything from above still stands. In the end you get your beast form or whatever it's called and you begin attacking and voring people, everyone in the city gets infected, it's crazy. 4/5

Outstanding foundation for a great game. I love the optional futa content and how the inner and outer body correlation is implemented. Currently the animations are good, but I would like a means to make the timing bar eventually not require interaction for every skill. I hope we get new updates soon, and look forward to this type of content.

A bit bizarre in premise, but honestly, pretty good, and quite a bit there to enjoy for an alpha! Preg & parasite fans that don't mind veering a bit off course at brief moments in terms of fetishes, should find this a must-play. I don't care much for some of the kinks (vore, nipple-fucking...) but you can skip over them quickly, and it's pretty rare to find a game that has battle-sex integrated well like this, even moreso the kind with attached preg mechanics.

Just loved it!!! No doubt that it has a long way t go. But it is one game that is promising at the moment. I am not sure if it is everyone's cup of tea. Those with a mind for fantasy and open for possibilities will definitely enjoy this. The developer is improving in his/her every new game. Certainly waiting for the next update eagerly....

Not a whole lot in the game just yet but I have to say I really liked the story direction so far and have thoroughly enjoyed the mechanics and content thus far. As a huge pregnancy fan this was great. Thank you for the update!
