Into the Nightmare - new JRPG from Kagura Games is available on GOG with a -10% launch discount that lasts until December 10th, 5 AM UTC!

This awesome title presents the story about the invasion from within! The city of Mangetsu is under attack, besieged by nightmares, creatures slithering out from Dream Worlds parallel to our own! It's up to Yatsuha and her new allies at Yamanashi Energy Labs to drive back the intruders, seal the Dream Worlds, and preserve the city's peace!

Battle the nightmares in classic turn-based combat! Your team of Dream World investigators draw upon skills from backgrounds ranging from martial artist to shrine maiden, and supplement their natural abilities with the powers granted by mystical Guardian Stones.
Nevermind.

Warloch_Ahead: Why do these all look so cookie cutter?
RPG Maker + devs who clearly needs more practice drawing smut. There's nothing unique about the characters, aside from oddly shaped fun-bags.

I mean, you're not wrong. A lot of the people drawing this stuff are novices. It's a small indie scene in Japan, so don't expect high quality from most of these games. In fact, when we do see some level of quality, it's completely unexpected here. Just be glad we're not getting the broken and bugged games you'll find out there.

By the way, the devs don't even do the drawing, they commission a lot of this stuff. It keeps some people's lights on over there.

Catventurer: I'm assuming based on your username that you're a male, so thanks for the mansplaining. Please consider the following....

1) This game is published by Kagura Games as in that company who only publishes overpriced low budget perve games that were made using RPG Maker.

2) Nobody seriously believes that asymmetrical boobs in any game published by this company is going to be for any reasons related to female empowerment and/or because Kagura Games thinks that asymmetrical boobs are more natural than symmetrical boobs.

The only correct answer to my entirely rhetorical question is: The art is crap.

In case you're wondering why someone of the female gender posted in this thread - I have no issue with porn games, just low budget porn games that look overpriced for what they are. (example - Anything by Kagura.)

GDude2022: 1. No one said that these games featured any form of empowerment. Japan doesn't care about that in their games.

2. You're talking crap about art from small indie devs. Maybe you don't realize this but Kagura is a publisher for very small Japanese indie dev circles. They do not make games, they simply localize them. Many of these games can be found untranslated on DLSite.

3. Realize that these are not in any way artists with a high budget. They do what they can.

4. You may not like these games, but they are very popular in Japan's adult gaming scene. Most of Japan's adult gaming scene is made up of these games. Kagura is merely getting some of them out to the west. This isn't even a fraction of what exists out there. It's well into the thousands.

Kagura isn't responsible for the game quality. They get what they're given and they have enough fans to keep localizing these things every year. Japan is very strict when it comes to that. In fact, some small indie circles may only want to work with Kagura. One thing I will "mansplain" to you is the eroge scene, because obviously you don't seem to know much about it. Have a nice day.
Since you don't seem to get the point of my prior reply, maybe this will help you out -- some people may not appreciate unsolicited advise about their own body parts, especially from someone that doesn't have those body parts themselves. This is a game store, not ask random people about medical stuff. It would be like me pretending to be an expect and knowing more about male exclusive body parts when I'm not a doctor and don't have those parts myself. Okay? Make sense now?

I think we're done here. Have a good day.

No, let's just cut the charade. The whole point of you making fun of the art is because you don't like the content in these games. You can't come right out and say it, it's easier to just talk about the low quality art. These are not games that celebrate or empower women and you don't care for that. I was merely poking fun at your art statement. It's not the art you have a problem with, it's the games being sold on this platform. That's the real issue you have here. Well, it doesn't appear that this is going to stop so you'd better get used to it. As long as GOG has that Kagura contract, these games will never stop coming. You can simply choose to ignore them.

Yeah it's kinda weird,, people aren't too bothered by crappy indie games with crappy graphics/mechanics, they just ignore them.
But if it's an indie Hentai Game the "critics" are out in force (well not as much anymore at least) to critic how low effort and bad the game is..
I guess Porn still does bother people.

I agree; I also find it strange, that those people tend to lurk in porn game threads, until they find the chance to passive-agressive insult the games and those who play them. I guess they have nothing better to do. Those of us who play hentai stuff obtain fun and pleasure from these games, which means those people obtain fun and pleasure from insulting ero games and the players; one side isn't attacking anyone, the other is.

foad01: Nevermind.
Commendable.

It's just a game at the end of the day. That's how I look at it. And we even have exclusive Kagura games coming here now, so that is interesting.

In the case of pedophilia in Switzerland, "but but but it's just a videogaaame" technically means you get 3 years of jail instead of 5. Just saying.

That's a bit much. If it's illegal in your country, then don't play it. Simple as that. I'm sorry if that's the case.

The link to the Unrated DLC goes 404, there are no patch files there. Please patch that AT ONCE. Thanks!

EDIT: this is no problem with region locking, the files are REALLY missing, but I OWN the DLC.
