    (Review based on version 2.8 and three (3) hours playing time.)


    I want to like this game. I can see it’s been crafted over time with a lot of dedication put into it. However, various little things are killing it for me.
    My first problem is the obvious grammatical errors in the opening two hours. They aren't numerous and overwhelming, but there are enough that it felt amateurish.

    Second issue - the mouse controls. To be short and sweet, they are simply not fun. While I do have a game pad using it causes another set of issues. After plugging in my gamepad I got horrible hit or miss functionality. From directional inputs not being read (causing the player character to suddenly stop moving) to impossible to navigate menus it was just frustrating. I’m frankly amazed this kind of broken inputs was even possible in an RPG maker game.

    Next we have a really odd game play issue. You get lag when you exit a game play menu. You read that right, there a tiny hitch/pause/lag after exiting menus and to make matters worse monsters tend to teleport four or five steps after the hitch ends. Exiting a menu should never cause a noticeable hitch in game play.

    My last major issue is another odd one. I’ve twice run into dialog for events/people I haven’t experienced in game yet. I don’t mean prompts to go do a quest or visit a person, but rather NPCs speaking to me as if I’ve completed some long quest chain. The oddest part was that the dialogue wasn’t even some quest I’d flagged and hadn’t finished. No, it was glaringly obvious that I was speaking to NPCs about an event I hadn't triggered yet and one I didn’t even know was possible. How’s that for spoilers?

    If you're in the market for an e-rpg and are willing to forgive technical and grammatical flaws to get your fix this might be for you. However, if you're looking for a good RPG with erotic elements I'd have to say look elsewhere. It’s a real shame too because as I said before, I can see the effort that was put into what we do have.

    Perhaps this game does become amazing later on as some reviews state, but for now I just don't see the polish that would get me to invest more time to find out.

    (There actually are a few other things that annoy me but that's artistic in nature not technical flaws)

    2024 Update:
    A mess of a game, with disjointed mechanics and an inconsistent art style with huge variance in quality. Not to mention the AI art that's been added in recent updates, truly inexcusable. Believe it or not, I used to rate this game five stars, back in 2017. It goes to show you just how low this game has fallen.

    I don't know why people said this game is good but I can't seem to get into this game, ''pretty boring'' the game doesn't have a map to tell you where to go in order to continue the main quest. This is pretty much ridiculous! but I can tell the story is good.

    I generally am not a fan of the RPG Maker games. But the story, the art, and the relationship options are to great to not consider this game one of the best adult games available. The developers are consistently offering greater amounts of content, and even now that the main story of the game is complete; they're creating expansions. There's something here for everyone to love. From regular MF romance, to tentacle porn, to incest, and more, you'd be hard-pressed not to find something you'd like.

    It's one of the top tier erotic rpgs. The content is huge, the gameplay is awesome and the characters are pretty good. Balancing is average, many things to improve, but ok. The negative part is that you are somehow forced into some scenes in order to improve your status with the npcs, even if you don't like the outcome.
    Overall i would highly recommend this game to anyone who loved to play rpgs and is obvously looking for some erotic in it.
