Cool de voir un jeu adulte avec un vrai scénario et du vrai gameplay

To attempt to review this game would be akin to asking someone to judge a steak before it is cooked. The foundation (such as the mechanics and the dialogue) is top-notch, but as an adult game or having an exciting roadmap, there's practically nothing to enjoy. So for the good stuff, this game is surprisingly funny, despite being a NSFW game. To some extent this appears to be a detriment, as certain key elements of a porn game have taken a back seat for the sake of the story. But I won't lie that I didn't find enjoyment from reading the clever dialogue. It also has a great setup, which I'm still interested in seeing the resolution to. The biggest hurdle the story has in its way isn't its writing, but more the fact that it doesn't execute on its concepts with the gameplay. It's unfortunate that many things such as side quests are forced to serve the main storyline. Although the side quests are good, they lose their appeal when I'm required to play them to unlock main game progression. The game continues to innovate as you play, regularly introducing new mechanics and providing diverse paths you can take, that change your options. I enjoyed the army building mechanic the most, but several others are also pretty good, such as managing your cities, or the alchemy and farming portions of the game and so on. But there are noticeable cracks in the foundation. The tutorial is pretty much pointless, as it's just an ocean of jargon (or not translated) that doesn't clear up much of anything. Maybe it's because there's a second language element involved, but I think it has more to do with how boxed in most areas feel. Even when you have to resort to quick saving to learn stuff, it's hard to get a grasp on the game when you just don't have room to experiment. The game is prone to fatal errors (“an exception has occurred” screen), and when it comes to your gameplay progress, apart from a rudimentary checklist, there is no comprehensive progress tracker. There are just too many things that are locked off behind progression, even after you discover them.  There needs to be more navigation right from the start of the game, so either the first main location needs to be bigger, or I should be able to exit the city. Then, when you meet an NPC, you should always be allowed to talk to them and know where they are located. It would also not hurt if most of the mechanics had more locations where they are useful, and have several areas where I can grind their skills. Now, this is a huge problem that could very easily tank this game for me (if it decides to continue on its current route), even with all the extra fun features. If taking out the NSFW content from your game only serves as a small loss, then you have a serious issue on your hands. Even with the few scenes that are here, just about all of them are rather tame and softcore. You also don't get any content warning, so you don't even know what you're getting.  It's almost as if the game forgot it advertised itself as an adult game mid-way through. There needs to be a serious ramping up of the adult content in the future, unless the game just wants to scrap all of that and become a different game. This is just missing a consistent reward system. There is no fun gameplay loop until much, much later in the game, and even then, the loot you can acquire and the stuff you can buy are pitiful. As much as the story is exciting, the game does a terrible job at foreshadowing, with the game progression being rather aimless and unclear. It's also rather unfortunate you don't get to customize your character once you unlock your flesh puppet, as the current design is rather goofy. Perhaps what this game needs most is more combat areas and more of a dungeon crawler aspect, along with a boost in scenes, of course.

I've been following this game for a while. If you like the genre the it has good art and fun game play.

I bought this game and was so happy with the purchase. Sure, it's quite expensive, but this seemed to be one of the very few good adult games. Gameplay wise it was. Initially. But the adult content is very limited and low in quality, and the further you go, the buggier it gets. At one point I just wasn't able to continue because whenever I'd win money I'd lose it instead and go far below zero. Almost non of screenshot as shown here I've been able to encounter as it became kinda unplayable. I hope eventually the game improves and I can upvote this

The only downside of this early access is te slow progress. But the maker knows this and is going through things. I really like the game and choose patience. The game, in it's unfinished state is really a fun one!
