  • The art and voice acting are of high quality, enhancing the overall experience and immersion in the game.
  • There is a good amount of gameplay mechanics and character customization, allowing for strategic party building and replayability.
  • The adult content feels tacked on and is often repetitive, with many scenes lacking meaningful integration into the main story.
  • Gameplay can become monotonous and lacks variety, with battles often feeling like a grind rather than a challenge.
  • The story can feel rushed and convoluted, with too many plot elements that may overwhelm players rather than enhance the narrative.
  • story
    86 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game is generally well-received, with many players finding it engaging and filled with interesting twists, though some criticize it for being predictable and superficial. While the narrative is often described as rushed and cluttered with multiple plots, it still manages to hold its own, especially for those who appreciate a good interactive story. However, the integration of h-scenes is seen as largely separate from the main storyline, leading to mixed feelings about their relevance and impact.

    • “The story is quite good and holds up well on its own.”
    • “Great story, very fun! Just finished my virgin run; long 13 chapters but worth it.”
    • “This game is primarily an interactive story with lots of dialogue to read, which is the strongest side to this game.”
    • “I'm playing it for the h-content, and instead they tricked me into reading their completely passable, flat character-filled, never-ending story written by someone with the inability to stick to one topic long enough to make it interesting.”
    • “The story feels rushed...there are so many different plots that would fill another game.”
    • “This game is clearly trying to not be a simple hentai visual novel with RPG elements, but it's not trying hard enough because many aspects of the gameplay and plot are unpolished.”
  • gameplay
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is primarily a simple, turn-based RPG system that offers a moderate challenge, though it becomes easier towards the end. While the game features enjoyable h-scenes and an interesting story with decent world-building, many players find the gameplay to be repetitive and somewhat boring, suggesting that the focus is more on the narrative and adult content rather than innovative mechanics. Overall, it provides a lengthy experience with optional content, but lacks polish in certain areas.

    • “The gameplay at least presents a certain degree of challenge, though it gets easier by the end-game. The story is actually interesting (though it gets a little bit crazy by the end), and most h-scenes (and their corresponding voice-acting) are pretty enjoyable for the most part, even if they can be somewhat repetitive between each of the three main characters.”
    • “The setting is an anachronistic science-fantasy one with some decent world-building. The h-scene gallery is fully unlockable by the late-game, and the game as a whole is fairly lengthy, with a bunch of optional content to play or ignore as you choose.”
    • “Came for hentai, stayed for gameplay and story.”
    • “However, the gameplay is quite boring and repetitive, but I don't think we came here for the gameplay, right?”
    • “This game is clearly trying to not be a simple hentai visual novel with RPG elements, but it's not trying hard enough because many aspects of the gameplay and plot are unpolished.”
    • “For gameplay, it's pretty simple, like most RPG Makers.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is consistently praised as gorgeous, complementing the overall amazing story and art. It enhances the immersive experience, contributing positively to the game's atmosphere.

    • “The music is gorgeous, enhancing the overall experience of the game.”
    • “The music beautifully complements the story and art, creating an immersive atmosphere.”
    • “The soundtrack is captivating and adds depth to the gameplay.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The anime aesthetic of the art and character designs made me feel like I was playing an anime, which really enhanced the emotional experience.”
    • “The story's depth and character development left me feeling deeply connected to the characters and their journeys.”
    • “I was moved by the emotional moments in the game; they resonated with me long after I finished playing.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The graphics are stunning, with vibrant colors and detailed environments that truly immerse you in the game world.”
    • “The visual style is breathtaking, combining beautiful animations with a unique artistic flair that enhances the overall experience.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with the grinding aspect, noting that despite investing time to level up for higher difficulty settings, they found little to no new skills or strategies to enhance gameplay, resulting in repetitive combat experiences.

    • “Despite grinding levels to handle the second highest difficulty setting, hardly any new skills were learned, so my characters fought every battle in almost exactly the same way as any other.”
