Others - Completed - Aurelia [v1.0.1] [Mirthal]

Good but could have been amazing.

The story is alright nothing more, Gorgath was introduced too late.

Characters were pretty flat but still enjoyable, but most didn´t really feel like they had any conclusion, and some are just filler like the slime or worst of all the harpy.

Art is amazing and carries this game otherwise I would rate it a lot lower. It very good pixel art even if sometimes inconsistent.

Music is decent.

Minegames were a mixed bag. Bar got boring quick, Woodcutting is boring, fishing needed more fish, the mountain defense game was good I liked that it had bosses but dragged a little, dungeon crawler could have been amazing I liked the gameplay and sex scenes but the structure especially the save structure is just tedious there should have been a save after floor 28, the dragon minigame was annoying and the sliding rocks game was boring.

Sex scenes were good but I wish more were animated.

I would highly recommend this gamen if you find the art appealing, but don´t except amazing characters or story.

High quality, wholesome, and fun. A fantastic erotic sandbox.

Aurelia doesn't do anything new. It's your standard harem sandbox. Move between locations on a static overworld map, exploring different content available at different times of day. Visual novel style dialogue where you flirt with every girl you meet. Complete fetch quests and minigames to improve your relationships and unlock sex scenes.

What makes Aurelia special is it does all of these things consistently well, never once fumbling into the usual missteps that plague the genre. And it manages to keep this up for hour after hour, with dozens of characters and what feels like hundreds of sex scenes. It's easily one of the most polished and well crafted erotic games I've ever played.

I will admit, Aurelia isn't the best at anything. There are games which are sexier, or funnier, or have better story or characters or gameplay. But few can pull all of them off at once, and almost none manage to do so better than Aurelia. That said, there's a few specific aspects I think are worth special mention.

One is the gameplay. Aurelia has heaps of different mini-games, and even the simplest of them are pretty fun. But some of them have a surprising amount of content and depth, and are fully engaging in their own right. At some points I was looking forward to the gameplay more than the sex. There's even a simple but effective RPG-like stats system, with levelling up, equipable items, and power-ups, which ties in to just about every single mini-game. Impressive stuff.

The other thing I appreciated in particular was how straightforwardly wholesome the game is. While it can be fun to explore darker kinks in the safe space a game provides, too many porn games just passively accept or even promote toxic relationships and behaviour. In Aurelia, your character is a horndog, but is never rude or pushy or entitled about it. He doesn't pester any of the girls, and always waits until they reciprocate his flirting. Sex is sought out and enjoyed by both parties, and he actively works to fulfill his partners' physical and emotional needs. It's refreshing to have a game clearly show what healthy intimacy looks like.

Overall, a rare combination of quality and quantity. One of the best in the genre.

S tier game. I have literally no issues with it only praises. No grind, short *and* entertaining minigames, incredible art and animations, a solid story and a big diversity of characters. Controls are solid and after 20 hours of gameplay I still wish there was more to be had. Bonus points for the realistic proportions in the character design compared to most H games out there.

A must play if you enjoy pixel art, monster girls, or overall well rounded H games.

honestly one of the best porn games i've ever played, no ntr, no cheating. constant sex scenes, not grindy, good story, beautiful art , likeable characters. if i had any complaint is that the credits are 4 hours long and you cant skip it.

Aurelia is a fun and fairly interesting 2D adventure RPG with a good amount of content in it. I really love the art style and there are a bunch of well-thought out minigames sprinkled around that have a bit of replayability. Most of the h-scenes are pretty static (would be nicer with more animation for sure) and they are sprinkled sparsely around the game. It might give a sense of reward for completing a task, and I didn't mind too much. I got around 10 hours of gameplay out of Aurelia, and that's partly due to the fact that there are times where you are grinding the same section to complete some basic quest.
Also the story is not in-depth altogether but the game is nonetheless enjoyable- however if you are looking for in-depth story, look elsewhere.
I also want to re-iterate my statement that the art is beautifully done; just really good. Overall I think you should give it a go.

Overall this game has great quality artwork, animations, sexual scenes and vibes. Second in line would be the good parts of this game. Which are the gameplay, soundtrack, characters and story. Although one thing that annoyed me a bit about this game was the progression and how it felt more like a chore instead of a fun activity. Despite that there really isnt much else to complain about here. Great game, even if it is vanilla.

This is just such an amazing game and has so so much content in it that it is truly impressive. I highly recommend playing this game. The sex scenes are also really great as well. There are also a lot of good minigames and variety in the gameplay. The different characters all have unique sex scenes and there is actually story as well!!!

The game is perfect or even amazing in all aspects except for one imo.

Regardless i need to first of all special mention the art because if you ever tried making pixel art of this scale you know how long it takes and how frustrating it can be, every pixel is intentially placed and they even animated it.

So the thing i have problem with is the sex scenes most of them are same as - oh you did something good for me now lets fk or oh you got me beer/cake now lets fk. Except for the rabbit one, none of them even comes remotely close to good writing for sex scenes, which suks because the animation is constantly top tier (Another thing that annoyed me is esc not bring up setting instead you to go to the inventory, need more keyboard binds)

the minigames were easy skill issue otherwise, they are very fully fledge and didn't have any bugs for me and fun except for lockpicking which got repetitive. They could improve on game hints makes it easier check specific tutorial once again without going through all the new ones.

Good game with few issues. Personally enjoyed demo a lot and I got somewhat sad since the full version as it is didn't add as much content as I hoped for. Nevertheless, this coming from a person enjoying beauty of internet so this part shouldn't be taken highly.

Graphics are unique and really enjoyable. Sex scenes are also very pleasable even if you ain't really into fantasy inspired love interests as the characters are mostly well made, not being only fuckable vessels.

Story is somewhat plain. Main story is very present at the beginning, however the plot becomes less intriguing over time and progress. As an opposite the characters are all, as mentioned, well made. Each having solid individual story line and the relationship development is also enjoyable.

From the gameplay side, most of the game is very pleasent to go through. Sadly over time, the mechanics in minigames seems very mobile preferable as the mouse movement doesn't seem as the intended way of navigating them.

great art, alot of scenes, fun minigames, good characters. The porn never stops, those who said otherwise were delusional or played and older version.

There are all sorts of girls to interact with, from multiple species,

One of, if not the best porn game I have every played. Holy shit dev, you have done an amazing job on the game.

The story is good and has intricacies, characters are all different an likeable. The only thing that is missing at the moment is the *fap* factor. I couldn't fap to this game but it is on par with some other indie games out there, outsie of the porn game sphere.

Good job.

Verdict: Would recommend! Very high quality game, 8/10

The art is very good, scenes that are animated are very fluid and hot, the gameplay is serviceable but more on that later.

What i didn't like:

1) Everything between any girl and the protagonist happens a little too fast, this results in key scenes being played very early without much buildup.

2) The RPG parts of the game that utilize player stats start like halfway through (around 2.5 hours). Up to that point the game is pure point-and-click

3)Day and Night cycle can get confusing at some parts in the game

What impressed me:
1) Minigames, music and art style are obviously inspired by Stardew Valley or similar games. Minigames are enough amount of fun and you don't need to grind a lot. Music is very good, some tracks didn't leave my head for a while.
Tip: if you need money just play blackjack in the tavern

2) A lot of scenes, a lot of animated ones for each "main" girl. This amount of content for one game is very impressive

3) There's a whole dungeon (halfway through though) with around 5-8 monsters on each stage and EACH AND EVERY ONE of them has a h-scene. This is bonkers. I was a little concerned when i saw that a realistic tiger had one xD (thankfully no bestiality here)

Overall a very good game! Given my nitpicks i would've rated this 4 stars but i can't bring myself to do it because all this work is too impressive.

If my memory serves right, this was the first ever adult visual game I got it to as recommended by my one and only. We then started a new game together, and it was so much fun. Love the art style and the little activities we get to do. We watched over the span as the developer gradually improved different aspects of the game and introduced more and more stuff. Great game!

Not perfect, but pretty great. At its core this is just another harem sandbox game set in a fantasy world with a variety of monster girls. People are comparing it to old adventure games just because it has a pixel aesthetic which may be comparable, but it is not King's Quest with sex scenes. With that said, there are a few things that set this one apart:

- It's complete. I think there could be a better ending/epilogue for sure but there was only one part where there was a "there is not more content here yet" note... and maybe that should just be removed.
- The pixel art is pretty good, and the animations built on it during scenes is actually very good.
- There are a variety of minigames to pad the playtime of the game, but they are surprisingly refined given that many of them are only played once and then forgotten.

This is pretty much enough to give the game 5 stars in my book, but I wouldn't really consider it an all-timer. Firstly, the plot is a bit bland and the characters are not particularly interesting/original. Secondly, even though the game is complete it still has the feel of a Patreon project that was developed in clear phases that can sorta feel disjoint. At the beginning of the game you have an initial cast of girls you deal with, but eventually you exhaust all their scenes and basically don't interact with them anymore, and instead you're introduced to a stream of new girls and the old ones are more or less forgotten (except insofar as they run stores that you will have to continue using.) The world could've been woven together better, instead of built up through clear content increments over time. But if you're just looking for monster girl fetish content rather than actual character arcs or worldbuilding than this game has you pretty covered. A proper ending would've been useful here, instead it feels like the game ends sorta suddenly and randomly without much fanfare, which I take to be a hint that it was not the developer's original intention but they decided to just wrap things up and move on. (What's the deal with Dakra, btw? She is just never used for anything.)

But considering the disastrous endings that tend to plague similar Patreon projects whose developers build complex worlds and then decide to end the game in an unexpected fashion when they lose interest in the project, this is... not too bad. I hope the developer decides to add some epilogue content at some point though.

Also even though the minigames are pretty good, it seems odd that so much effort went into them. I would've rather seen things just go deeper with the roguelike dungeon experience, like many other games do, rather than have that plus like 20 other minigames that you may or may interact with more than once.

But these are minor nitpicks, for a harem sandbox enthusiast this is probably the best game to get the [Complete] tag in a few months.

This game is fantastic, nearly perfect but i do have some issues.

lets start with the obvious, the main story is complete but it does seem there does seem to still be some optional content missing, maybe its just a bug, maybe its cancelled or incomplete, i don't know, i do know that the main artist is starting their new project (not sure if he will still add support to Aurelia).

That seems like a good segue to talk about my favorite part, the art. The art is some of the best pixel art i have ever seen (and that includes non porn games). I remember finding the lead artist on HF and being blow away by it, Walnusstinte if you havent heard them. Although i admit i was surprised during the credits to see such a large list of artist, koodos to the rest of the team.

Moving on to gameplay side, this is one of the ok parts. There are a lot of minigames and they arent bad but theres a lot. The one that stands out the most is the dungeon crawler one, that one takes a while to finish and all you get are several sex scene, there is quiet a few scenes and kinda makes it worth it but it doesnt feel very connected to the rest of the game, that could be related to what i mentioned earlier about some content still needing to be added. Important note, i cheated (used in game codes), this may have felt like a grindy mess otherwise or maybe its well balanced, didnt really try without cheats

Finally the writing. The story is overall well written. the characters dont jump straight into bed but it doesnt take too long to get there and there are some good group scenes. I will say sometimes the story feel rushed especially towards the end. They do a really good job connect side content to main content.

Overall this is a really good game, and im really happy to see that Completed tag. I really look forward to what the dev and artist work on next.

I had really high expectations after so many positive reviews, but once I started playing, I quit the game before I even saw the first sex scene. I can't stand mini-games that feel like such a chore just to see one or two pixel art sex scenes. It shouldn't have been so overwhelming from the very beginning. At least some freedom should have been given. Every step of the way, there are requirements to meet and mechanics to learn. What am I going to waste my time for? The gameplay is a complete grind.

This is one of those games that perfectly executes it's artwork, theme, gameplay and sex scenes at every step. The characters are engaging, the pixel artwork is inspired, the fantasy setting is maintained even with the slightest sprinkling of 4th wall breaks for humor. The gameplay element vary in implementation (quick time events, puzzles, point-and-click, etc.) but all share the same nostalgic feel of early 2000's pc adventure games. The sex scenes are excellently paced, don't break immersion, and span a variety of the more accessible kinks. This game earned all five stars.

First things first, this is a great game. It's gorgeous, good-natured, and horny in all the right places. The tone is immaculate. It's goofy without becoming excessive. The characters are cartoonish in the best possible way. It is fun to be around them, and you can't help but have a great deal of sympathy to almost anyone.

Mechanically, it's an open-world sandbox game. It mostly plays like a visual novel, but there are quite a lot of minigames, and some of them are very well-made. For instance, there's a whole built-in dungeon crawler, and it's quite fun!

Did this game avoid all of the common sandbox titles' flaws? I wouldn't say so. It doesn't feel irritatingly grindy, for instance, but the latter part of the game does devolve somewhat into the good old fetching of the "visit X on the Wednesday evening" variety, even though there are no designated "Wednesdays" in this game.

So, I guess it's not perfect. But don't let the four stars given in this review fool you. It's a small diamond in the world of adult gaming.

One of the best, I played a whole night without sleep, it's so good.

The art is beautiful, minigames are fun, the sex scenes are well made, it has a nice UI, characters design are pretty.

Very satisfied 10/10 game

Fun experience. Nice pixel graphics, lots of characters, mini games and good dialogues. One of these games that just devour your hours, if you are a person to unlock everything. Spend around roughly 20 chilled hours unlocking all achievements and scenes.
