Loved this, it show such great versatility from Aphrodite. Writing is really well done and effective. Most of the characters feel like independent beings and I love the way the story has subtle twists

It's the next installment in the Pixel Town: Akanemachi series! Once again, you play as Fuu from the second game. This time she's joined up with Akame, the long-standing antagonist of the series, as they work together to escape from a mysterious island they find themselves trapped in.

Like the other games in the series, you're tasked with solving the mystery through a series of events within the sandbox. Progress is gauged through your "Virtue," which each area of the game has its own Virtue bar to show your completion rate in that area. Combined with the fact that important NPCs and spots are now given a helpful exclamation point bubble, these quality of life changes make progressing through the game a much smoother experience. As with the other titles, be sure to check your memos and wait for the next day if you're ever stuck.

The dot animation H scenes are great as always with a 32-bit feel that maintains a smooth art style. The Akanemachi series shows not only its consistency as H games but also manage to improve on aspects from the previous title every time.

It's good for what it is. If you like Android 18 and want something with quick interaction, it's not a bad play. Takes maybe 5min to beat it once and then you can skip the touching and go straight to action. Unfortunately, there's no scene selector, as it has only touching, paizuri, and missionary. A bit more animations would make it better, but again, a minimal game.

Oh my god, what an amazing game
It's a breath of fresh air, no, I play popular games of course, but there's something about this one that makes it stand out. From the very beginning of the narrative you can't help but feel like you're in an anime, the characters are lively, the main character is funny, the story, the music all looks fresh and natural.
There are, of course, moments that need to be improved, for example, the already mentioned scenes of forced sex, a silly trick in which the main girl walks without a mask, although she is the head of the gang and at the same time a popular student (she can be identified and caught somewhere near the college), a plot twist with the ex of the MC which is needed only to cause pity for him. In general, there are boring moments, but the overall plot, humor, and varied movement outweigh. Special mention should be made of the music which is very cool in the narration I look forward to the continuation. We were shown two hot blondes we are waiting for them in the next update and don't forget about the little sister!

Great game, 5/5 easily. The dev has clearly thought through *a lot* of detail about this VN, from the interface to the various paths with each LI, the sheer number of LIs, etc. At the end of the day, it's a VN with soul. One made by a developer with a clear goal in mind and it's just nice to play through something like that for a change. I can only think of a handful of other VNs that have the same soul... and come to think of it, most of them are made in HS...

On that note, I think HS1 renders are not everyone's taste, so I have a feeling this game gets rated lower than it deserves to on average.

Anyway, 5/5 writing and balancing of the paths. Kudos to the dev and I wish them a very successful journey

Promising, nice pixel art, nice waifus, a premise that isn't trash. It's just a demo and that's why it's very lacking in content, but in the future it's sure to become something decent. It seems like it has what is essential to be a good game.

I'm not going to go into much detail, the game is what it seems. A puzzle game in which the prize is that the girl falls into a trap and is raped/fucked. It's not bad, but the animations could be much better, especially considering that there are some levels that are a bit difficult to overcome.
2.5/5 stars

I don't like it and do not recommend to spend your time on it

Writing is extremely unsexy
Writing is verbose, but in a bad way
Writing is uningaging

Few arts and they are not consistent: in different chapters characters look different, this breaks immersion

Great idea, but implementation is unfortunately poor

I heckin love Karelia, but this game falls short in the gameplay department. Your given tasks each day, which you must complete besides the photo task, you'll get them down pretty quick and without issues. However, once done, you sit there and wait for her to spawn in order to take the photos necessary to finish the night. I recommend just getting the cheat code and checking out the scenes, as the gameplay is mid at best.

CHEAT CODE: wy709iNG6i8

Just started playing this game, so far I'm liking it. The different interactions you have with the wildly different girl's personalities makes for a compelling story. Great work and can't wait for more!

Absolutely beautiful. Drawings obviously are of highest quality, especially "maid" character, but also game itself, the graphics are really good. I like how colorful and varied the world is, how fun are even small events (thrashing the old furniture in tavern to rock music was GOLDEN EXPERIENCE). There're many small things that make this game outstanding.

There's also a lot of content. Plot is good, writing is good, I wouldn't call it outstanding but above average. There's a lot of small problems with writing, but nothing really serious. Also the game runs fairly well which is weird to me, given how much is going on the screen. I like the camera zooming in during dialog, but i would appreciate option to disable it (I do see it can be annoying for some people, especially if you skip dialog)

Also i love the music.

TLDR Better version of Town of Passion. I just hope it will be finished.

There's a reason why The Hellcat Lounge has so many 5 star ratings, download this sublime VN and find out yourselves!

No, wait, theres a fuckton of reasons why this VN is simply magnificent. And my words will do it little justice.

The story is unique. The models are unique. The humour is in your face? If you're looking for a harem full of insipid big ass/big tits fantasy girls, then I'd suggest you find another gig. But if you are a fan of a good story, a positive and gifted MC who finds themselves in a sexy and emotionally-charged narrative, then pop into The Hellcat Loungen grab a beer and prepare to be entertained.

Grats to the devs. And thanks to the reviewers who persuaded me try a different type of bar, one that I will always remember.

Story 4/5
Its is pretty good even though it can have a rough start where choices are ignored and story text shows the opposite of your choices, like i turned down the prostitute and yet when MC gets asked what he did doing the day, he thinks about how he got hes dick sucked by a prostitute and came on her face, and thats from doing absolutly nothing with her, but it does get better from chapter 3 or so.

Expect this to be more story based and choice driven when it comes to relationships, you can turn anyone down or go after anything that walks, so the choices are really good, but keep in mind it dosent have harem tag so not sure if this will be a single girl ending or multiple aka harem.

Story is drawn out and i mean realllllly drawn out, theres alot of none related story text and just getting to know people, game is getting close to 3 years old now and even though its V0.8 the main story has barely even gotten started yet, so i would expect V1.0 would just be season one out of who knows how many so it would proberly be atleast 3-4+ years still untill this is done, just a guess though.
I do like this type of novels and dont mind slow burns and story focused games.

What i would have liked would be a better main LI selection, i wasent really a fan of how 3 out of the 4 looked and the 4th dosent show up untill late game and not sure if shes even a main LI? shes the last one of the 4 on frontpage.
If i had to vote i would have picked the girl at the bar/inn as a main LI the one you meet on the way to the capital and get to fuck once in two diffrent possitions, to me she was proberly the best looking girl of all the girls but shes just a one time girl and thats it.

Anyways like i said main story is really slow progress, buts its about MC taking the role as the swordbearer becoming a knight and fight vampires, so yes game does has vampires, elves, magic and that kind of stuff, but for now theres really not much of it, guessing that will really start in a season 2 at some point.

As for adult stuff and sex scenes there arent really that much yet, i went after all the main girls and MC has only been with 1 of them so far, then theres a couple of sides/one offs and maybe the dancer from the start is a main LI as well but not sure, in any case there is a bit of sex scenes in the game but its not really the main focus and i dont mind that.

Girls 4/5
Its a bit of a mixed bag really, alot of them are really just meh, but a few i did find pretty hot, theres a bit of diversity in builds as well but mostly they are all average sizes, only really seen one smol which was the girl at the bar/inn and would have liked to see atleast just one smol main LI instend of 4-5 of the same builds for main LIs.

Animations 3/5
They are ok but not really special in any way, they are good enough to enjoy but seems to be a bit to short and lacks in dialogs doing scenes.

Music 3/5
Pretty average background stuff, nothing special and none with lyrics.

Choices 5/5
Even though story dosent always like up with your choices or even ignores them altogether, it still works very nicely when it comes to relationships, none are forced, dev promissed nothing would be forced so wondering if thats true when it comes to the princess but i hope so.

Pretty short but pretty good.
Lots of scenarios explored through the various types of girls you need to avoid.
Boss fights suck. Don't even bother, play the game on easy.
It mostly wins points by not being half-assed, most of the other RPGM games reverse rape games are either very feminizing or very, very raw.
Story isn't much to talk but I found it sweet and memorable.
The game does lose momentum/steam a little bit as it goes on, alternate failure endings trend towards getting shorter and shorter as you get closer and closer to the end. The last area only has 3 girls while every other place seemed to have at least 4.

It was fun, i gave four because of the length - it should be longer. The story is nice, the facial expressions are great, the ending was fun. There are few things you have to do as "play" part. Big plus for little bestiality.

unexpectedly focused on urination and humiliation
bad writing or translation and unimaginative scenarios
not enough attention given to the onee-shota interaction
+1 star for functional gallery, unlock-able from the start, and being able to toggle pubes on/off.

Once again a game where the phrase “It has a lot of potential” is true. What does this sentence even mean?
There is already a lot of content, but it still needs a lot of adjustments or improvements. So in theory there's a lot on offer, but when you delve deeper you notice a lot of loose ends or it plays in such a way that you think: "Hmm, is that it? I kind of expected more."

It actually starts with the start of the game. MC has nothing and knows nothing. So hiking around is the order of the day. You could find a job, you could look for an apartment, you could even be kidnapped and kept as a slave. Each one is possible within the first 5-6 steps of the game.

You don't have an ID, but it takes a long time to find out about it, but you don't find out how to get it.

You have no money, can't rent a room and waste a lot of time trying to find a job. Since you are often not qualified enough, have no ID or find the job too suspicious to accept it, it becomes even more difficult.
Especially since chance encounters don't make things any easier.

You rent a room, but are attacked in it and, in my case, enslaved for 17 days before the 1% chance of escape suddenly became 90% on the seventeenth game day. (Sounds like a mistake to me).

And I could go on like this for a long time.
Yes, the game offers a lot of character customization options, which allows for a completely different gaming experience with each new playthrough, but I personally think that at the moment the point has been reached where new content should not be the developer's goal, but one thing Revision, improvement and logical continuation of the existing content would benefit the game much more.

I therefore fluctuate between 3 and 4 stars. In the end it will be 4 stars because with only 3 stars I feel like I am rating the game too poorly in its category.

Great game and love the theme and plot. Character designs and looks are great. Love the instagram app idea, its very cool. Just wish the story picked up the pace. Haven't progressed all that far, but still great imo.

v0.1.2.3

Fantastic hand drawn art.
I expected very little content from the low version number, but I was surprised to see there is a decent amount.
The waifus are cute and sexy. And I enjoyed the interaction with them.
I found very few spelling errors.
Game is a little bit grindy. I ended up cheating a bit with universal renpy mod.
overall I highly recommend this.

[v1.85b]

These points aside, the game is a fairly decent start so far. It's effectively one chapter in total right now, of what is likely to be a story containing at least 10 chapters if it's actually going to get anywhere at it's current rate. Very little occurs story wise thus far in-game.
- If I were to give it a version number based on the amount of content (in-comparison to your average game) it's actually more along the lines of v0.185b, then it is v1.85b.

Like I said, a ton of effort is put into this, and in one way is worth checking out. However, there are many aspects that will inevitably cause the down fall of what it currently is. This dev has clearly not considered the line they have crossed with all of the copyrighted music, and the couple of intellectual properties they have infringed upon. If this game, suddenly got released and sold today, they would be sued out the wazzoo.
