Surprisingly enjoyable
As I'm writing this, only one other review here makes a note of the fact that as shipped, the game is censored with heavy pixellation. From what I can tell, GOG used to have an "unrated" DLC available, but it's no longer accessible (or at least not in my region). That said, the way this visual novel has been implemented means that the game you download actually contains both the censored and uncensored version, but it's been configured to only let you access the censored version. If you are not offended by explicit sexual content, but *are* offended by prudes telling you what you as an adult can and cannot watch, then you can actually really easily access the uncensored version by adding a little bit of code to the game yourself. Navigate to wherever you've installed the game, it should be a directory called "The Book of Bondmaids". Inside you'll find another directory named "game". In said "game" directory, create a new file named "uncensored.rpy", and put the following 3 lines into it: init -1 python: persistent.censored = False Save it, and make sure you don't accidentally create a file called "uncensored.rpy.txt" - while it is a text file, it *must* have a .rpy extension, not .txt. Once done, just launch the game as usual. If you've done it correctly it will find your file and create an "uncensored.rpyc" file next to it, and you're good to go. Alright, with that out of the way, what about the game itself? It's a sexually explicit visual novel, set in a dark fantasy universe. The story, while not exceptional, is far better than one might expect for this genre. I would quite strongly suggest that if you're picking up this game, grab at least the "Cooks, Thieves, Wives, and Lovers" DLC as well. This is one of those games where it feels like the DLC really should have been part of the base game. Some parts also feel unpolished, with spelling mistakes and apparently unused options, but they're not a big deal. Overall, I'd call it quite an enjoyable VN.
