The gameplay is characterized by a blend of easy mechanics and high-stakes RPG battles, where players engage in combat with small enemies and gather items for crafting. While some players find the challenge rewarding, others criticize the design for punishing actions that align with the game's adult themes. Overall, it effectively integrates sexual content with traditional RPG elements, though opinions on its difficulty and mechanics vary significantly.
“This is easy gameplay with high-stakes RPG fights, and it's very doable if you're not braindead.”
“However, it gives you a reasonably fun gameplay/progression loop, and you can lose fairly often due to the RPG challenge, and see end scenes.”
“Some of the events are mechanically well done for an RPG Maker game.”
“Gameplay can be summed up as, kill tons of small fry enemies and gather items to craft drugs.”
“Really poorly designed game mechanic that punishes the player for doing what they bought the game to do.”
“Some of the events are mechanically well done for a RPG Maker game.”
