RPGM - Completed - Yuuta in Uncle's town [Final] [BTCPN]

Just an overall awful experience.

Mina is cute but the effort to actually get to most if any of the hscenes in a reasonable time is abysmal.

Time is separated into 6 time blocks and 1-3 Day and Night time badges. You require Strength in order to gain Day and Night time badges, but in order to do side quests you need to go into the overworld either gifting people or picking up items which both take up time badges. Gaining Strength takes up entire time blocks in challenging QTE minigames or spending Day badges watching TV. The game doesn't even tell you how to start Mina's quests which involves gifting a kid who just happens to give you a porno mag. The big side quests give you rewards that honestly I don't think even matter cause I don't know what they do.

I was contemplating giving this game a 2/5 for the animations and art but honestly I've convinced myself to lower it to 1/5. Please spend your time playing something else.

A classic RPGM out of all RPGMs. Every element is included: the straight up grind, occasional story with lewd elements, and the basic precepts of food and s*x in a reverent fantasy. The dash of supernatural only adds to the story and since cross refererencing isn't allowed, I'll just say that while japanese works don't specialize in the niche of supernatural and their fashions toward satirical subtleties. This game at least makes use of every slapdash artpiece, every reused artwork, and every common stereotypical display in a vision that is the creator's own and no one else's. Games are art and for that I remain unyielding and undaunted. Oh humble moderator up above, please let my review be, for even you must know tis' truly the blues'.

A lot of grinding with little direction/hints on how to progress mains heroines and side characters. I was planning on doing like 2-3 playthroughs, but not worth it.

I'm not an animator/artist, but the H scenes were mid to low at best as I only decided to progress the aunt heroine route. Reused scenes werent bad but far from being good. Even when a unique scene popped up it was only available for that one time only event.

I don't have an issue with time based events but i disliked that its a one and done deal if you messed trying to encounter an event. Having to save scum during gameplay in case I messed up and gets repetitive.

I enjoyed the minigames a little hard but cool.

This game is pretty damn bad. Scenes are animated but look really cheap. Gameplay is grindy af. There is no clear guidance as to what you should do. UI is the worst warcrime since jugoslavian wars. (literally takes up half the screen and you can't switch it off) I would advice against playing this game. If you really have to take a full save file.

Art 1.5/5
Story 2.5/5
Gameplay 1/5
Fapability 3/5
Originality 3/5

Summary

A poor man's Summer Memories.

Porn

Decentish count of scenes, though a lot of reusage. Scenes involving MC are animated CG, with intro limited sprite work plus animated sprites for other characters.

However, the scenes are pretty glitchy when playing. Sometimes body parts will disappear, and the background image often changes to an unrelated place.

Scenes are almost entirely of the two main female characters.

Gameplay

An absolute mess.

The game is incredibly grindy, like holy shit levels of grindiness, for not very much payoff. It also either barely explains things or not at all.

To get h-scenes with the two FLs, you have to raise their Relationship value (only displayed by hitting A) to 100 for each of the 'story' scenes... but spending time with them to raise Relationship gives less than 10 RP each time. You can give gifts to speed it up, but the best item only gives 20ish RP for 500G, AND costs time. Oh and the Relationship value resets to 0 after each story h-scene.

Triggering the h-scenes is also arcane, requiring specific unexplained conditions to trigger them for the first few.

To do plot for any of the other characters, you have to feed them multiple gifts until they become 'friends' with you; but the game doesn't tell you this. I didn't even know until someone else told me.

The minigames are also intensely difficult and poorly explained.

The swimming one in particular is rage-inducingly difficult at high difficulties.

The hardest training difficulty is almost entirely RNG based as to whether you can beat it, and the Swimming Competition on day 28 is new levels of psychotic; not only do you HAVE to win it to get one of the animated scenes, you can't save at all in the day leading up to it, and it's nearly impossible to win. I had maxed out stats and items, everything possible to improve your chances (literally save-edited because fuck the grind), and it still took over 20 attempts to come even close to winning.

The game shows the developer potential and is much more complex than your average porn rpg game from Dlsite (which is usually a glorified walking simulator or a shitty unbalanced rpg) including animated scenes, animated portraits for the main women, sprite sex and a rudimentary time and relatioships system but has a lot of flaws:
The amount of content is small i've would prefered more static CG and CG for the voyeur content instead of a few animated scenes, the gameplay is confusing and the explanations are pretty bad, if you want to play it Isuggest you to use a cheat menu or edit your save to make it less tedious.
Also not enough Yuki content, 3/5.

Alright... finally finish the game... here's what i think about this game...

The game have some similarity to Summer Memories...You're controlling Yuuta, who come to his uncle house on vacation... this game inroduce to 2 Heroines you can Bang.. The Aunt Kyouko and The Cousin Mina... There's Relation point and Desire (Lust) you can build up to see the event of the heroines...you can raise relation point by talking and giving present to the heroines... as for desire you can raise it by doing naughty things to the heroines (you can also raise desire in festival by talking to the heroines).... there's also action point... but this time.. there's 2 types action point namely DAP (Day Action Point) and NAP (Night Action Point)... you use DAP for daily activity such as plating, watering, beating bug, collecting, fishing, spending time to... and so on... NAP is use for naughty action.. and it can recover at night...you can raise your DAP and NAP by trading with strength points... you can get strength points by watching tv, swimming race, and winning on festival... your sole purpose is to bang one of the heroine (idk if you can get threesome) before Yuuta back to his home.. you have 30 days to do that...

Now the game seems to be fun at fist, but the thing is this game is more merciless than Summer Memories.. the first difficult you have to face is the story... the game has a story in it, but i don't know how to trigger it.. the dev give a hint button, but it's a useless features it seems.. the next one is the interaction with the Villagers.. the dev seems want us to get along with the villagers, but he probably forgot to give other interaction beside "giving" on the choice, the there's no explanation what the MC get if he getting along with the villagers... now moving to money.. if you're thinking to farming money in this game, DON'T! you better spend your time with the Heroines.. if you need money just go farm some vegetable.. because for now i don't see any reason to get rich in this game... the last is the NAP and DAP system.. as i said earlier you can uprade your DAP and NAP by spending strength point... and OH BOY.. This is the most frustrated one, because this one is what you needed most.. and the grinding is HELL.. to upgrade NAP to max you need 650 strength points, as for NAP you need 900 strength points.. by watching tv you get 5-10 strength points.. for swimming race there's 3 difficulty.. Easy, Normal, and Hard.. now the thing is this race is also depend on your NAP and DAP.. if you still have like 1 each.. you can only challenge on easy.. even if you upgrade your NAP and DAP.. the higher difficulty you can have is normal..

To conlude it.. instead of complete game.. i think this is still demo.. the game mostly still under development.. the only thing that you need to focus on this game is just how to get sex with the heroine, the sex scenes are passable with the animation... don't bother to do else...

Game looks amazing in principal but it's too fuckey and I'm not desperate enough. The mechanics are very poorly explained. Day/night time points for example, game says I use them for actions, and I have 8 of each (edit: 1 each, I thought the ellipses was an 8... # actions is shown by # of emojis... fucking hell), but I only get 5 day actions and 1 night action. The game implies you can get more by training (ex: swimming). I did that and it gave me 10 upgrade points ("stength"), but you need 100 to upgrade and I get 10 per session... No thanks.

Thanks to the rough guide/comment on page 1, I was able to set some targets - for example, raising relationship level with the aunt to trigger a scene. Holy mother of grind bullshit - it's just a repeat repeat repeat extravaganza of finding her on the map, talking to her, finding her, talking, finding, talking, finding, talking, check your relationship? Not enough - finding, talking, finding, talking, etc... No thanks.

There are a couple other "no thanks" items but I can't be asked to type it out - it's must more of the same. And this is just the surface I was able to unveil in ~45min. Thankfully I was able to realize this game is not worth anyone's time quickly. It's unfortunate that the art and H content are pretty good (confirmed by using the save game linked in comments - 1, 2). I'm not going to be soft on this game, I'm giving it one star - I'm growing tired with negative-IQ devs who make impossibly grindy and convoluted H games.

So far, I’ve wasted like half an hour and still no progress in sights.

CONS:

No clear progression/hints/anything total lack of understandable UI.
UI itself is quite a terrible implementation on itself.

Start of the game itself took around few minutes of text. CONSTANT text that you cant skip and only can hold enter for a few minutes or setup an autoclicker. There is so much lore and so little important info.

Every action takes 1 point of time even gifting and there is no indication that you progress. The only menu shows 0% and no hints at all.

You are supposed to do things till festival but there is too much to do with amount of action points you have, basically you get nothing done or ignore all girls.

Sex scenes could be as good as they can be, but if u cant reach them whats the point of them?


Till some guide appears or something not recommending to play.
