Sanguine Rose

The game really should mention that`s mostly femdom.

I was disappointed by this game. It says I have 20.8 hours on record, but the reality is I got about an hour, maybe two going down two paths. I knew the game would be short going in, but I thought the content would be better. Overall, I wouldn't pay for this game knowing what I know now. I hadn't planned on returning it, and thanks to the incorrect playing time because I left the program up instead of closing out, I can't. But, I don't think it was offesnively bad and deserving of returning. It is however, not for me. Quick overview, you're a mercenary that was hired to kidnap a key individual and the story starts with choices you make while watching the prisoner and branch out from there. My first major gripe is that the choices lock you into a path the author wants things to go down. By this I mean that the paths selected don't feel "natural" or "real" with their outcomes. Some it feels like you should be able to hit the brakes with more information and change direction. An example of choice and writing is that the prisoner mocks the MC for not taking what they want, and the game doesn't give an option to do so. In fact, if you chase a more "demanding" path, it appears it starts to lead down a submissive path. While I think those with power are more in control and those who weak tend to have poor emotional control, the circumstances would still allow the "weak" individual to take advantage of the prisoner. The writing, the game, and the outcomes just felt railroaded. Another example is when a deal is made to give you your own team member, again, something that seems very "takeable" yet somehow the prisoner has all the control. I liked the art. I play with sound off. The fun scenes felt missing. I got some on one of the prologues, and there were a few other but they were still, and I was expecting something more forceful or something more corruptive based on the description of the game. For something like that, Seeds of Chaos blows this game away. the prologue had some of this, but the writing and everything else and lack of emotional build up/connection just made me yawn and ask "is this it?" Replayability. Yeah, there seems to be different endings and choices matter, but I would also say that after my two endings (left with friends and ran an army), I didn't find anything that made me go "this is HOT". I needed scenes to scratch and itch or writing that resonated. The writing was overly wordy for me. Many paragraphs I could have reduced down to a sentence or two. It lacked prose and it felt like the author might have thought more words=prose. This is harsh, but I'm not sure how else to describe my emotional reaction to the writing. After reading so many entries that identified this novel was amazing, I found that it was adequate, but extremely short and fell short of the descriptions I read. Too many words also get in the way of steamy. So, I don't recommend this game. Maybe it would hit the spot if you liked fem dom, but that's not my thing and I backed out of that path. If you're looking for dom/corruption/rough storylines, this game (at leas from the MC side) really didn't have anything. Not that I found. You can always try it out and return it, but I don't think it's worth the effort. I will play some more paths at some point, and update if I change my mind, but I don't think I will.

a good Visual Novel. I recommend it. lots of answer options. sweet girls. some sex scenes. everything is uncensored, what do you want more. the price of this game is a bit to high but in offer for like -50% good.

I found the art enjoyable and different than typical VNs. The gameplay can be short depending on what path you take and how many of the achievements you want to go for. I was able to get most achievements without a guide. It ran great on the Steam Deck. It's worth picking up on sale to anyone a fan of VNs and/or this art style.

This is a good read. The sex scenes are a bonus for sure but the game itself is good. The characters are well written and you can learn more about them if you manage to get further in the story based on the correct choices. The art is quite good too, its a rather unique style but it goes well with the story. The one thing I'd liked different is some more scenes addressing Glasha, while she is presented as simple her ending dialogues show that she had a lot of potential for more developed dialogues or turning points in the story.

I have no idea what the negative reviews are about. Apparently some people are surprised that a visual novel has reading involved. As for the game itself, it is surprisingly well written, with [b] very [/b] good characterisation. I was not expecting something this well thought out. Some people are saying the game is too short for the price. It's £11, you can get it for £5 at a sale. That is the price of a coffee or a beer. What do people expect to get for the price of a coffee? A triple A porn production!? Some of you need to sit down and re-evaluate how long you think it takes for a game to be made, how many hours spend, how many people involved and what the price for all that work should be and then also deduct Steam's fee as well. For £11, the people who worked on this basically made a loss. People in the negative reviews say the game being too short; That is simply not true. The game "feels" short because of the 2-day system, if you only do one ending. But there are so many [i] very [/i] different endings (one of them very suspenseful), that you have to replay the game a lot to see all the possible combinations. At the time of writing this (5 hours), I still haven't gotten them all. 5 hours, for £11, half of that if you get it on a sale. Another negative comment said the game is only femdom, which is categorically not true. Again, the person probably only played one scenario and didnt try again. If you like well written visual novels, with good characters that pop out of the page and good art, this is definitely a must have. Especially on a sale. As for the art, it is good, for the most part. Some times very good. A few times not so much. You can tell it was at times made by different people. Despite that though, it doesnt get in the way and the story keeps you engaged. Last but not least, the music is also surprisingly good and works well with the story.

Interesting short story with many endings depending on your choices 有趣的短故事，结局很多根据你的选择变化

The art in this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ INCREDIBLE. It's way, WAY better than other visual novels I've played.

Choices. For a hentai visual novel, your choices matter, and what happens branches off into multiple endings. If you like VNs, then Sanguine Rose is worth checking out.
