    Sick Cat

    This and College Daze (same developer) are my absolute favourite games on this site.

    The writing is fantastic and even if you just skip reading the texts and only read your choices, you still understand most of whats going on (I know this because in my first playthrough I didnt expect this good of writing and didnt bother).
    The current version (v0.04b) has limited content in length but the variety of possibilities is already promising a very well made and interesting game.
    I love that we can actually decide between different personalities for the cast (and I think that that will drastically influence possibilities in the future).

    The Pitiful One

    This is my review from playing version 0.02 of the game. My personal overall rating will be 4/5 stars (but may change in future versions depending on what happens).

    Ok, so I just tried this one out. I actually have heard of this anime but never watched it, so other than trailers I saw in the past and some information I saw online about it and the manga, I'm not familiar with what happened the best. For reference, the English title of the story is called, " The Quintessential Quintuplets", but this is clearly using the Japanese version despite how this game is still written in English. I suggest looking into that if you want better reference if you were confused like I was.

    The original story (not this game), as far as I know, was about a tutor coming to help 5 sisters (quintuplets). There's more like he's a recluse, the sister's family is rich, and there was drama, but you can look all that up yourself. But for this game alone, for me, some of the context for the story in this game seems to expect you to know at least parts of what happened in the anime or manga, and since I didn't watch or read it, I didn't. So the beginning left me a bit confused. One of the more confusing aspects is you have to wait until you're in the house to find out which of the sisters you're even married to (it's Yotsuba), but as it picks up, that becomes obvious later as it is clearly specified then. Typically, I prefer to know, within reason, right away who the characters are and what I'm dealing with instead of being thrown into a world I'm unfamiliar with, even if it's based off of previous existing story, popular or not. However, I admit it was not played out poorly. So I actually think it worked out to my initial surprise and feel the way it started still kept me interested despite the lack of context. (y) Just suggesting though, I think it still might have helped.

    Again, I didn't watch the anime, but I thought (and I might be wrong), like most harems stories, the protagonist ends up with nobody, but still has the potential of choice (basically, left undecided if he'd be with any character at the end). Keep in mind, the original story this game is based off of is not a hentai, so this being a porn game, the author clearly changed some parts in the game to fit what they wanted us to see not following the original story exactly. Unlike in the original story, the character already starts off married to one of the sisters (again, Yotsuba), but ultimately what this version of the game becomes is a story about infidelity.

    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    How it was handled though, I must say, I actually did really enjoy. Unrealistic or not, that was the part I personally enjoyed most and think it was well done! (y) But just my preference. With that said however...

    I personally really liked the cheating aspect so far, and frankly, the LI I was already most interested in was the one you cheat with. However, as this stands right now, your choices don't seem to mean anything to the overall story, just variation in dialogue unless I missed something. This version of the game in my opinion should be a "kinetic novel", but not listed as such, and misleads you into thinking its something else. I enjoy cheating routes, but I also like exploring other options and enjoy pure love routes so I would have liked to be able to "have the choice" to avoid cheating, but Fuutarou is ultimately forced to have sex with another sister. No option I chose seemed to get me out of this. I did really enjoy it when that was the path I wanted to see most, but I'm disappointed right now there's no way to get out of it as I'd have liked to see, alternatively, him refuse her too trying to stay loyal to Yotsuba. So I'm a bit disappointed there was no clear warning, it's forced and without your choice, and I'm sure bound to disappoint people who wanted choices or might not have wanted to be with that particular sister.

    This also leaves another concern that it's going to turn into one big harem later on in terms of porn (not my preference at all). Since you're forced into sex, there are probably going to be other times you're forced into it more, and likely, with the other sisters. Even if you eventually end up choosing the ones you want most by the end or you're just going to be forced getting them all is what it so far seems like its leading to. I feel this is the part why, so far, I can't rate it 5 stars. I think, for the story it is so far, it played out well, but unless this changes in later versions, I'm not convinced this is going to turn into something I enjoy and it's mostly going to continue mostly as a kinetic novel or at least forced harem, lots of forced sex scenes, and "Will Yotsuba be able to stop her sisters from trying to steal Fuutarou"? It feels misleading if you don't truly have choices that will matter there.

    I really enjoyed what happened so far, I honestly did, but disappointed by the lack of any choices, and if that's a possibility, I'd really recommend the author do that or it's only going to appeal to a specific group of people. Thanks for the game so far though, I will go to the author's page to at least support this version I did enjoy so far, and hope the project works out in the future! :giggle:

    the game is pretty bad. i cant believe i played it 10 hours, in hope it would get better..

    the only thing that is good is the art style and the first few days of the story..

    all the things i didn't liked:
    - you cant have sex or anything with the girl, even if she becomes a whore and let the whole school bang her. you can confess your love for her and become her bf, see 1 bed scene and it's game over.
    -it don't matter how much she likes you and dislikes your best friend, she's going to fuck and suck him many times and you can only watch.. there are really many scenes where they fuck
    -there is a mental system for mood, desire, excitement and lewdness ranging from 0-100 but it does absolutely nothing and nothing can be done to influence it
    -the story starts interesting but gets boring quickly with boring events and an eternity to get to the point
    - Gameplay is annoying. you start somewhere in the school and have to find the girl to talk to her at lunch and after school. the ONLY interaction is talking and the dialog is always to same: "hi hru?" "k, bye"
    -annoying people at school try to stop you from finding the girl with conversations
    - quick time events
    -boring upgrades

    I'm gonna rate this 5 stars in spite of the stupid grind, the useless gameplay and the very simple story, because the dev has put in (as at 0.3.5) a massive amount of images and animations that are absolutely beautiful and best of all the FMC whose every image and animation is so fuckin fappable that I'm completely dry atm :p. Isn't that the main criteria for good games on f95zone? Well done dev! Look forward to more kinky stuff, a lot kinkier.

    first couple of hours no action. at all. renders are mediocre. the most boring way to make a datesim. you can meet A LOT of ppl. and all you do every day is ask them 1 question out of like 10possibility. very braindead questions. is that supposed to build relationship lol? low effort game.

    if you have hours to spend on a boring dating sim with the most cliché characters then you found your game. else just avoid it. typical "sister tsundere" who hates you but still loves you deep down and all the other usual tropes.

    BORING.

    especially since no action first couple of hours. waste of time.

    I might not be über partial on this one since I liked MLW until the original devs were replaced and it made a U-turn so I was quite hyped when I learned that SRT was working on a new game.
    Well, regardless the game is far from perfect which is natural since it's only V 0.3, yet I still think it's got a lot of promise.

    Pros :

    - Nice graphics
    - Dark and mysterious plot
    - Your actions and behavior have real consequences, you can lose opportunities because of that
    - RPG elements
    -Animations are nice
    - Good environmental story-telling
    - Dirty talk during sex scenes (that's especially important to me)
    - You know what your character is going to say (seems dumb said like that, but considering certain RPG give you only a brief summary that leads to a totally different response than what you thought/wanted your character would say, it feels like an important detail to mention)

    Cons :

    - Some situation/dialogs are stats locked and some of them can be difficult to level up (devs already aware and working on it)
    - Some dialogues could benefit from some polishing because, while understandable, the phrasing is sometimes a little weird
    - Some dialogues/monologues feel unnatural, they feel more like the devs giving lore information directly to the player than "real"/natural conversation between "beings". Additionally, they can also feel information heavy at times, hence disseminating information here and there might work better and be more beneficial in the long run (I know it's nitpicking but hey, why not wish perfection for the final product)
    - With the current stamina and speed it can be a bit tedious to explore bigger zones, especially if you get a bit lost
    - The game is time limited, you only have 3 days to play but, to my knowledge, you can't really keep track of the in-game time so sometimes you can't do everything you want to do before the day ends


    And there is also a survival system with needs that, if not fulfilled, will lead to a game over. I put it outside of pros and cons because this is a core element of gameplay that could be a deal breaker for some. Also you can't be a switch you're either sub or dom and, right now at least, the MC start with a certain amount of pureness so to be able to access some sex scenes you need to do actions to up your lewd stat to a certain level and to do that you need get rid of your pure stats.

    I'll give it Four stars. It's a short kinetic novel. BUT I think for what it is the art was really nice to me. The only options really being how to end sex scenes.


    This is a one and done deal. Mileage may vary, but I don't rate games on what they weren't trying to do and this one seems like it knew exactly what it was. Just wish it was longer and there was more actual dialogue. It's sorta light on the characters being more than just plot devices.

    Both the original and this one were on the same level as far as cheesy writing. But i have to say the Original one had a lot more interesting story. Being in an apocolyptic world that turned out to be a computer game has me far more intrigued overall than a "congratulations, here is your harem, breed them, game over". *yawn*

    The art and sex scenes are well drawn so there are no complaints there. My overall feel of this is, worth downloading the updates for the new scenes, but I dont hold my breat waiting for it to come out.

    Don't mind that it's clearly inspired by STS, after all I loved that game and more of it wouldn't hurt, although I'm off the opinion that they should be done with the game and finally announce the "unnanounced project" they have on their website.

    That being said, going back to this game. It's pretty good in the animation department, character design, art style and environment design. But what it lacks is in the technical department.

    You can do things out of order and it can lead to irreversible errors. In my case, I accidentally finished the painted headphones quest before it was given to me officially and when the game gave me another pair of headphones to paint, I couldn't trigger the minigame anymore and Mia wouldn't trigger the dialogue to advance that part of the mission, so basically I couldn't progress with Mia anymore and I was stuck with double headphones in my inventory.

    I do wish the devs good luck in their forthcoming projects, but please use this experience to improve the framework the whole game is built upon.

    To be honest I'm not into vanilla games, but dat doesn't means I can't enjoy vanilla games.
    Maybe it's just me, but I like to give honest reviews............ok let start.
    First of all I would like to start with Protagonist, MC is really a submissive type not too much but he's lil bit submissive, like typical MC he's a weak/wimpy-ass and sometimes he behaves like a simp my words is gonna be harsh but I'm telling what is truth, MC can't even save his own girl to the opposite his girl save his ass but it's pretty common now many people never bother by this but it's bother me a lot, MC should have a decent personality, I'm not saying he should be a badass, who can knock out professional fighters with just one punch I'm not saying this at all, if you're gonna add some action scene gives MC a decent level of strength so he can save his girl, there's a lot of faults in MC I'm not gonna mention all the faults.
    2nd it's doesn't matters what you choose in da end dialogue doesn't change more like kinetic novel not totally but it's more similar to kinetic novel.
    3rd Almost every character looks emotionless without any emotions on face it's feel like we're reading Comics not an AVN.
    4th Immature and cringey dialogues "Ada:- I'm not blushing am I?
    MC:- unfortunately you're" I mean like what da fuck? This type of dialogue is too cringey and dramatic.
    All the girls look ok, music is ok too and animation too, some scenes doesn't make sense at all, some tags is missing like Rape, Female Domination.........over all dats all I have to say, i can even write an essay how many faults this game have, but I have read many comments dev-kun have a decent amount of people who like this game, all I can say this game is not my cup of tea anyway Good luck.

    The game has potential if it continues to break the tropes of a shy boy who doesn't know how to talk to a girl, my only problem is how slow it is at first, not knowing where to go or who to talk to, and of course, it shows that there is a lot of content missing, still, animos y suerte

    Story 1/5
    It was just not worth much and the writting really isent good, at times you sit back and wonder whats going on due to poor writting.

    Its not even a harem game since in a harem you should deside whos in it and you dont, this is instend a mindless fuckfest with no choices in anything so girls are forced and only choice you get is "skip sex scene" or i guess skyp as its spelled in game? ffs....meaning it still happens so its also just a kinetic novel without a tag which is also annoying.

    Girls 3/5
    Pretty decent and good diversity in builds so they got that right, its just to bad they are all forced making game more of a turn-off.

    Animations 3/5
    Pretty average scenes some with really shittty cam views but atleast they made the virgin scene good, shows blood and pain so they got atleast that right which is somewhat rare in games.

    Choices 1/5
    Well its kinetic, all relationships are forced, so really a huge fail, and 99% of the choices you see if not all is the skip sex scene or watch sex scene and skipping means it still happens so you truely have no choice at all.

    Music 0/5
    Silent game = more boring game.

    Heres a hint for the dev, when making a full blown kinetic game, add the tag and you wont get bad reviews from people who hate kinetic or forced LIs and sex scenes, personaly i wouldent even have tried the game out if tag had been there.

The custom maps which is pretty neat. Need to be more games with some clear effort and passion put into them like this though.

    TwistedScarlett games are always a nice treat, but unfortunately as his games go this was probably my least favorite. Which by no means makes this a bad game, but there were several design oddities that I hope are not repeated in his future games.

    - Firstly, I like the shift back from RPGMaker to RenPy, and it's praiseworthy that the actual RPG presentation did not shift backwards that much from MG1K. However, the RPG mechanic is just... not that fun in this game. Having to manage a million perks and tech trees and resource types is an even less fun kind of grind than having to deal with the usual bullshit minigames that normally pad out AVGs. I suspect that the author just really likes complicated RPG systems, but at least with MG1K you could just hit an "optimize" button for character builds and then let the game play itself. No such look here.

    - The dungeon dives are kinda neat in theory, but in practice they are mindless and get repetitive quickly. There is not enough worthwhile content here (ie. the monster girls) to keep things fun.

    - Because of the two prior points, plus the fact that you can only experience one scene per in-game day, the "gameplay" loop pretty quickly devolves into the following:

    - Start day
    - Go chat with all the girls for free affection points (1 minute)
    - Watch a scene (5 minutes if you actually read the text maybe, 1 minute otherwise)
    - Go to town and explore for a new town-building scene plus get any guild rewards from your last dungeon run (2 minutes)
    - Spend your resources on a billion tech tree upgrades (3 minutes)
    - Do a repetitive dungeon run until the heat gets so high that everything will one-shot you so you will eventually "die" and the run will end (5 minutes)
    - Repeat until you realize that dungeons are stupid and you should just watch all the maid scenes and then touch grass.

    - The core problem of course is that this means we've spent 10-15 minutes to enjoy a 1-5 minute scene (and ngl I skipped through most of the text.) In retrospect I guess I should've skipped it all. Yes, you will miss some minor scenes with side girls but as far as I can tell that's it. The dungeon runs never end, and once you've gotten the swing of things you can just faceroll through them mindlessly and then realize how much time you've wasted later.

    - However, if you remove the dungeon mechanics the game is just.. a rather bland sandbox VN with an okay plot and girls who are unnecessarily boring. Restricting all the main girls to be maids (plus one nun I guess) in the same household makes the progression always feel the same, even if they have somewhat-different personalities. My main complaint about MG1K is that it was extremely bloated in some ways, but at least you had a very diverse cast and the whole "harem recruitment" thing is fun. Instead in this game the harem is basically already there and all you do as the MC is steal a bunch of horny virgin girls from your jerk brother. Maybe this is just meant to be a smaller / more-focused game than MG1K, idk.

    - The artwork. While most of the VN content relies on AI-enhanced CGs, the maid scenes themselves have a handsketched style which is sorta neat but comes off as lazy/unfinished at times. I suspect that it's not just a style choice, but that the dev just had a bunch of early-stage art commissioned and for whatever reason chose not to finish it. [Edit] Actually I realize now that this entire game was premised around this pre-existing artwork, so a lot of things make sense now. The artwork is not unfinished, although I think having to work off of using it as source material may have limited the game a bit - but this is very speculative on my part. [/Edit] Also I don't understand why some of the side characters were made into black silhouettes. It sorta gave the vibe that the dev just wanted to wrap things up and move on.

    - For all the negativity, I don't think this is a bad game and I'm going to give it four stars. I just think the world was more boring than previous TwistedScarlett games and I'm kinda sad that there's no trippy postgame content from what I can tell (I was thinking that maybe 100% journal completion would unlock something but then I realized that getting all the manor upgrades would require a lot more dungeon runs.) The main thing that is 100% a mistake is the complexity of the RPG stat system. It did not add depth/fun to the game and just wasted time, and I really hope that this is avoided in the dev's next project. Go deeper with the RPG mechanics, hell make some sort of cool new roguelike VN AVG, great. Maybe a sexy version of Fear and Hunger? Cool. But managing a bunch of stats / equipment all the time? Please cut down on this.

    Story 1/5
    Story dident do anything for me and being a dating sim makes so little sense when you fuck girls 2 seconds after your first meeting and ofcause you got no choices what so ever, so yes this is a mindless fuckfest where everyone is forced on you and a full blown kinetic novel hidden in a sandbox.

    Sandbox 2/5
    The sandbox it self is quite bad as well, no pointers as to what you can click so have to move mouse around to figure if you can open a door or what is clickable, hint system is pretty shitty on top of that, it tells you pretty close to nothing, quests are also linked and cant progress one before another and you have no clue which quest you need to do first.

    Girls 3/5
    The ai art is good and its the only reason i added a star making it 2.

    Animations 2/5
    It also claims to be animated but no, 2 frames / 2 still images to make it look like movement is not animated by any means, i did see one animation but its was meh and sure as fuck not one i wanted to see with a granny getting fucked.

    Music 3/5
    Its pretty nice but nothing special, kinda suits the game and dosent seem to get annoying to have in the background.

    Choices 0/5
    There are none, follow the kinetic questlines fuck everyone and thats about it, dating sim tag should most deffently not be there.

    ^/30

    I just finished v0.16. Initially I lean towards a three star review. But taking in account everything this game does exceptionally well, I have to add an extra star.

    Looking at the setting, story line and the assets used for clothing/ surroundings, I think Futa Isekai has made a very distinctive game. It excels in dirty-minded and perverted sex animations. The futa characters are all gorgeous: from the owner of the tavern Mrs. Chen, to the half-demon Lust and the enforcer/ executioner Frost. All of them breathtakingly tall, muscled, dominant, curvy and large-chested goddesses. As if the dev somehow knew all of my kinks and mixed them in a way that over-classes my own imagination.

    On the other side, I can imagine the experience being a lot less appealing if the action doesn't fit a player's personal preference as it did mine. Objectively I have to address some fields in which this game could approve considerably. It has a few interesting game mechanics and features that make it more than just the average 'click-trough' visual novel. The given clues and options however are often vague, which should be fixed with the addition of a quest log and more visual guidance in the dialogue.

    Speaking of which, there is quite some dialogue that doesn't hit the right spot contributing the general story and ambiance. Most of the time I find it difficult to understand what characters are actually saying. Their dirty talk can be so tedious and repetitive, it heavily derogates immersion. The sexual acts could do with more variation in that regard as well. Overall I think the game in general and the characters in particular lack some personality. If the dev could tweak the dialogue and vary the visual lewdness, this game could fully live up to it's potential and potentially reach a much broader audience.

    But for me, whether changes are being made or not, I will be restlessly anticipating the day I get to watch the main character being intimate with the o so arousing Onis named Shion :)
