  • Engaging and interesting story with a unique Lovecraftian paranormal setting and multiple possible endings.
  • Solid and satisfying turn-based dungeon crawler gameplay with a mix of melee, ranged, and magic attacks, plus good character variety and development.
  • High-quality detailed art and atmosphere with strong character designs, effective music, and a nostalgic old-school aesthetic.
  • Navigation can be frustrating due to fixed low resolution, first-person view limitations, and confusing distance perception on objects in dungeons.
  • Combat and random enemy encounters can become repetitive and slow-paced; frequent grinding and resource management may feel tedious.
  • Sexual content is limited in variety and quantity, often repetitive with emphasis on darker adult themes, which may be off-putting for some players.
  • story
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Evening Starter" is praised for its intriguing and mysterious investigation centered on Ren Nosogi, blending Lovecraftian horror with supernatural and underground elements. While the main narrative is fixed, player actions influence multiple endings, adding replay value. Reviewers highlight its solid writing, atmosphere, humor, and well-developed characters, though opinions on certain mature themes vary.

    • “By far, one of Evening Starter’s biggest strengths is the story.”
    • “Story and characters are genuinely really interesting and likable.”
    • “Good writing and humor, was surprised at the details of the story for a small time RPG Maker game.”
    • “The story overall leaves the player in the dark, making them interested in discovering something more mysterious that's ongoing, with Ren investigating to earn some money as the game description implies.”
    • “You can determine the ending by your actions, but the main story—the investigation—is very much set in stone and you can't change what’s going to happen or how Ren is going to investigate it.”
    • “And the story just doesn’t get me, this is my humble opinion.”
  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers a solid and original dungeon-crawling experience with a mix of guns, magic, and automatic mapping that can be satisfying once the mechanics are understood. However, some find it repetitive and simplistic due to frequent random encounters and an arguably tedious first-person view. Overall, it provides light challenge and enjoyment, though harder difficulties may feel grindy.

    • “The key lies in understanding the basic mechanics; once done, the game is incredibly satisfying and even easy to play.”
    • “This one, however, differentiates itself from the rest both by its setting and its game mechanics, and it’s as good as it is original.”
    • “The gameplay is interesting to use guns and magic in battles while exploring dungeons and supports automatic mapping.”
    • “I sincerely was expecting more from a different kind of gameplay than the usual RPG games, but it got so boring watching simplistic views all the time that it is hard to keep playing for a long time while farming enemies.”
    • “Gameplay is an old school dungeon crawler with way too many random encounters.”
    • “The gameplay provides a light challenge at 'normal' difficulty, but I suspect 'hard' mode would be an unfun grind.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics feature a charming old-school, classic 90s art style that appeals to fans of retro visuals, offering high-quality artwork. However, some users note that premade backgrounds can cause clashing perspectives, slightly detracting from the overall visual experience.

    • “I have very much enjoyed the story with all its characters, and only got it because it was on sale and I was captivated by the old school graphics.”
    • “The artwork is high-quality, but the premade backgrounds result in clashing perspectives.”
    • “Do nevermind that the game has an old schoolish artstyle, as that's one of its many charms.”
    • “The artstyle is very 'classic 90s' if you're into that sort of thing, kinda like Escape from Fort Lugohm if you've played that one before (actually made by the same person!).”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is well-crafted, combining effective character designs and a Lovecraft-inspired eerie feeling. The music enhances the creepy ambiance, though some find the battle themes less appealing. Overall, the atmosphere is a strong and immersive aspect of the game.

    • “I love the atmosphere and character designs in this one.”
    • “Not the best story, but the writers managed to create a good Lovecraft-light atmosphere.”
    • “The music is very well done, and it fits with the creepy atmosphere of the game.”
  • character development
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the character designs and atmosphere are praised, the character development is generally seen as weak, despite the lore being genuinely interesting.

  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music effectively enhances the game's atmosphere with relaxing tracks in calm areas and darker, sinister tones in dungeons, complementing the creepy setting. However, some players found the battle music less appealing. Overall, the soundtrack is well-crafted and fitting.

    • “The music is very well done, and it fits with the creepy atmosphere of the game.”
    • “The soundtrack is nice and very relaxing during quieter story parts, while darker and more sinister inside the dungeons, emphasizing the unfriendly creatures encountered.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is well-crafted and complemented by good writing, offering surprisingly detailed and engaging storytelling for a small RPG Maker title.

    • “Good writing and humor, I was surprised at the details of the story for a small-time RPG Maker game.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the grinding in the game monotonous and simplistic, making prolonged farming sessions tedious and diminishing overall engagement.

    • “I sincerely was expecting more from a different kind of gameplay than the usual RPG games, but it got so boring watching such simplistic views all the time that it is hard to keep playing for a long time while farming enemies.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers strong replayability due to its length and quality, making it highly recommended for fans of dungeon crawlers looking for lasting value.
