RPGM - Succum Brewery [v0.3.8b] [LimeJuiceGames]

Really liked it. Felt a bit different than most RPGM games which is a very welcome sight for me since I don't like those that much.
Not a lot of walking around aimlessly, quest straight to the point of the game, cute designs, likeable enviroment.
Can't wait to where it goes

It's nowhere near finished of course (v0.2.5 so far), so I might have to come back and lower my score later, but I really like the game so far.

Games where you actually have a job to do (with decent mechanics, and lewd stuff scattered throughout) are always more fun to me than the ones where you're a passive observer, or where you just wander around seeking out/avoiding sex scenes. The timing of the drink pouring minigame is a bit irritating (especially on the shotglass), and doesn't add a lot to the overall bartending mechanics, but that's a minor quibble and one they move away from once you get access to wines and mixed drinks.

I like the themes of cheerful corruption or consensual mind control. It's clear right from the start that the heroine is being altered by her experiences, and she/you are given multiple opportunities to leave if you don't approve, but it's equally clear that (if you stay) she prefers the changes, and her fate here is better than it would be anywhere else in the setting.

The art is good. The writing is funny. Most of the characters are enjoyable, from deuteragonists to random recurring bit npcs (though I have problems with a couple of the more major side characters). Progression rates seem reasonable, which is rare to see in such early builds. It would be nice if the end points of the various side paths were telegraphed more clearly so you didn't waste time checking back for content that doesn't exist yet, but that's the kind of thing that will only be a problem in pre-alpha releases.

If you're just looking for hardcore fucking, give this a pass until it's much further along. The story is about slow development and there's multiple factors preventing anything from happening to the heroine until she wants it to, and it's only like a quarter of the way done, so the most you'll get to see is masturbation, exhibitionism, and a little groping.

But if you're looking for something cute and funny and lewd and clever, and you have enough time on your hands to waste some of it on a work in progress, I doubt you'll regret taking a look here.

From what I have experienced of this game, I really like the Direction this is headed, the gameplay is enjoyable, I thoroughly enjoy the concept of the story and the direction it would appear to be headed, I have no criticism with the Artwork, and like the new feature of the Drink creation process, would obviously like to see more adult content to be added, and did like the idea of someone else's comment about some outside of the club interactions with NPC's, maybe that will incorporated for a further update down the line.

In all I am constantly refreshing the page in order to see the next update and would ideally like to support the creator directly, sadly not in a position to do so, however I thought the least I could do is invite others to play this game and if an a position to do so, support this creator!!

Genuinely can't wait see what happens next, almost wish I was a CHUD!!

It's a corruption first game, if you aren't into a slow burn narrative driven game, this probably isn't for you, but for those who want that, this is the game you have been waiting for. Art, Writing, Management, it's got everything down. As of writing it still is in it's foundation, so things could fall off, but I sincerely doubt they will.

Interesting premise and world building. Nice arts. good soundtrack. Evil horny munchkin. Manipulative and dangerous artificial BF. Interesting game play.

This is top quality stuffs.

There is nothing not to love about this game.

Great art, funny and well-paced writing.

Centered around the bar minigame from any number of previous games - Violated Heroine, Defenestration, Third Crisis, Karryn's Prison, etc. Nothing new here. But it's exceptionally well-done.

The mind control/corruption themes are artful and refreshingly organic.

Adore this game. Perfect amount of corruption, mind control, sexy outfits, and interesting characters. Looking forward to more!

Already an amazing game but if I had to ask for anything it would be more choices and more bondagey shinanigans. **hearts**

So far I can say I enjoy the experience. Definitely needs to be more content which will come down the line but ultimately I think the bartending aspect is well put together and has room for expansion. I'm curious if there'll be other routes down the line or if being essentially brainwashed into a slut is the key goal for this game. Either way the setting is simple and nice, the gameplay is straight forward, definitely looking forward to the future of this game.

I came to type out a long review but looking at previous reviews it's all been said already. Great game, great art, unique enough to stand out, solid writing with good humor and characters, longer burn but gives enough that you don't feel like you are just clicking to get through, minigames that actually play into the sexual progression instead of just filler to make it quailify as a "game", and most importantly for this site it is fappable.

Diamond in the rough. Hope this game has lots of updates in the future.
Best of luck

version0.2.3 Interesting story and sexy corruption with good art. But this shouldn't have been renpy. It's main game play is laggy and time based which doesn't go well with the game engine. Still with the cheats it doesn't matter if you fail. Just spam and cheat your way to the events.

I don't write many reviews at all. But this one deserves it. At the time of this review there are no sex scenes (0.2.2a). However that does not take away from the foundation this game already has when it comes to its potential.

ART:

Amazing. 2d so some people may not like it, but it has its own style, the characters look good.

ENGINE:

RPGM sometimes is hit or miss for some games. In this case it works great for the mechanics of bar tending and exploration. Absolutely no complaints.

GAMEPLAY:

You are a bartender and you manage your bar daily for patrons. Keeping your tend meter up to pour drinks. Each drink is a different way to make a perfect pour, but it involves nothing more than clicking at the right time. Its very simple and somewhat enjoyable. It may become tedious later on in the game, but for this current version, unlocking new drinks and doing the tending didn't feel bad. You can also do other things like flirt with customers to keep them entertained and steal their wallet while they are distracted for extra cash (no real use in the game yet). So overall its simple enough for a porn game, but not so dull that it makes getting to the next lewd scene a drag.

STORY:

Actually pretty interesting. Its basically your typical female protagonist ends up in a weird scenario where they are now around a lot of men who eventually fuck her as she becomes more and more corrupted. But its not depraved or rape or anything like that, more so she slowly gets more and more suggested to do things and enjoys it. Also the environment and detailed story of an AI robot who manages the bar with you is a nice touch and definitely sets this game aside as different in the genre.

Overall this game gives me a Karryn's Prison vibe except feels like the grind and complexity of the game was taken out. I personally think it will thrive and become one of the top games out there. Plus the dev is hard at work, seems to be grinding out updates, and has a full roadmap planned. Very communication heavy on their socials and it gives me a lot of confidence in the game that I have subbed to their patreon.

5/5 check it out.

A wonderful game! Lots of interesting characterization involved, RPGMaker is put to really good use, art and themes are all very interesting and welcome! I really hope you continue to make this project really good, as I had a great time with update 0.2.2A.

Excellent game so far. The art is great, the writing is good, the story world is interesting, the minigame is.... okay.

If you're into a corruption story, especially one that (seemingly) doesnt heavily feature humiliation and has a willing protagonist, this is a game worth checking out.

I'm just hoping there will be a Catherine/IO romance path/ending. Maybe the nice mechanic girl can join in as a participant or bff.

Not a huge amount of content yet, but what's here is extremely promising. Good art, unique setting and premise, and well executed mind control/corruption elements, with an enjoyable central relationship that isn't cruel or flagrantly non-con like so many similar games. Corruption seems a bit quick, gameplay is admittedly basic and the management aspect could be beefed up, but nothing that couldn't be worked in later.

Early days but everything is looking pretty good so far.

The world-building and writing is interesting. The main gameplay loop is of decent length, maybe a couple of days without nightly events could be trimmed but it's definitely not grindy unlike most games on this site.

Art is reasonable, just need more scenes and scenes where more happens, and some interactivity in them but I'm really looking forward to further development of this game

Good stuff.

The majority of the game clearly isn't finished, buts its far enough along to see where its going, and its going good places. Nice sense of corruption, good writing, nice looking girl. I particularly like that you can end the game early, but in doing so it actually shows how a normal life might not be better then what's going on with IO. IO himself straddles the line nicely between villainous and sympathetic.

As long as the future sex scenes include hentai content during bar work itself (none currently besides light teasing), and avoids being too repetitive while providing repeatable scenes, (outside of one robot groping scene, there's basically nothing besides some nudity and a little masturbation), then the game is going to be a winner.

My one concern is that there have been games made in the past with precisely this kind of promising start, only for them to get dragged out and never finished, only endlessly "remastered" or incrementally upgraded. For anyone considering supporting this, and any promising game for that matter, please consider the update frequency and depth carefully in the future, support does not guarantee results.

I'm a big fan of corruption games especially those that pay attention to details. IO as a character is written well and Catherine's characterization from damsel in distress to (un) willing participant to IO's training has a solid start. Despite this game still being in early stages, I enjoyed playing.

The bar game is cool, and I'm hoping it also gets a few hentai interaction moments later down the line. I'm also hoping that there's also going to be separate endings that can happen. I love Amynda and all the other NPCs and hope to see added scenes.

I for one am okay with this roboti AI overlord. Can't wait for this gem to shine

Very good artstyle, and storyline. But most importantly they music is so good! very pleased to to say im supporting this development! looking forwart to what this brings!

the IO robot is so cute and the main protaganist is cool to all the other characters are really nice. a really cool concept aswell as characters. hope this dosent get abandonded and can see it to full completetion im really lokking forward for this!!!

Very well! Really enjoyed it, looking forward for future updates! Thank you! Art is amazing, also liked an idea of bartending sim, and more I played it – more I loved it. One thing is bad – that it's only early build, so, not so much to see, but what we have alredy is damn good

A great start to a game! IO is fantastic, Catherine is hot, and the story for the most part is well written. Here are the pro's and cons:

Pros:
Story, most of the story is great, some characters feel a bit empty for now, I'll get into that in cons. 8/10
Art: The art that's in the game so far is fantastic 8.5/10 I just wish there was more, and the player character model needs a rework because it may be a default character or a ripped character model for the moment.

cons:

Gameplay; While the gameplay is good it's a bit repetitive for what it is right now. once you get into a rhythm that becomes the optimal way to make money it gets a little boring. Some lewd cut in's in earlier days might fix that. 4/10 with a lot of room for improvement.

Story element: shopkeeper. As of right now the shopkeeper is a strange driving chaotic force in the plot when she doesn't exactly need to be. This could change in the future. Otherwise a great story.

This game has a lot of potential so I am rating it highly. Great start, and wishing you the best of luck with development!
