While I won't say it's bad, it's far from good (or worth $10). It also has some oddities and jank that makes me this 95% of this was bought from the unity store or in the starting kit. For example, the enemy design is all over the place. Yu have normal men and women doing their best Resident Evil 4 villiager impersonation, sexy Sirenheads, boney boys, and Diablo 3 bootlegs. No common theming with them. And the enviorment feels like a mess. Ignoring the the basement has both an ancient catacombs and two Hell rooms, why does the Resident Evil mansion have a steampunk basement? Not even the player character is safe from this since she has a frilly victorian-inspired stop, but also armor on her right arm like a Final Fantasy character. It doesn't make sense. And why does the game with an axegun that uses blunnderbuss ammo (lead balls for those curious) also have a modern pistolin the catacombs? What setting is this suppose to be? And speaking of the weapons, the axegun ammo and pistol ammo both stack without issue, but the shotgun shells (yes they call them shell instead of ammo because reasons) don't. Not only do they create ther own stack when you pick one up, they also have a cap per stack unlike the other two types of ammo. I feel like this is them using a shotgun asset and not having it sinc with the rest of the game either due to not realizing it or not having enough time. This game is a rough start, but hopefully the creator will get better and learn what did and didn't work and improve from here.
I just finished the three main modules (The Wailing Death, shadow of Undrentide, and Hoards of the Underdark), so I'm focused on those experinces. The first you can tell was rushed with how all the acts have the main quest be "collect 3 or 4 plot items and turn them in," something the other two aren't restricted by. While I don't mind the jank of an older RPG base on D&D 3e (not 3.5e), I can see that being an issue for some. The lack of a proper adventuring party is also a point against it. Still, I say give it a try. People are still making modules for it, so you have no shortage of conent at least.
I remember watching an LP of this game years ago, and I think that's why I decided to give it a try. Glad I did. While I don't think this game counts as an RPG or dating sim, it is certainly a fun erotic puzzle game, in both aspects. The puzzle is fun, even for someone like me who isn't the best at puzzles, and while you'll need to add a patch to uncensored the game (the developer made a Steam post on how to with a video linked that works for the GOG version as well), it's still good-looking porn. Wasn't a fan of the minigame to strip them, personally. I will say that some of the unique gifts felt a bit iffy to me, like how the asian girl's was stereotypical asian stuff like chopsticks and a samurai helmet. I think basing it on her gambling and drinking instead would have been more fitting. Still, I enjoyed the game enough to give them a pass, for the most part. You can get everything you missed in the "postgame," and relatively easily. I suggest looking up a guide to get everything once you think you're there (and before you turn in everything to Kyu), since outfits are location/time sensitive. It's a fun erotic/puzzle game I recommend to anyone interested. Not deep, but it wasn't trying to be. Just keep in mind the character's last names. You'll understand why once you're that far. Spoilers: One of the hidden characters (Momo) made me a bit uncomfortable, since she acted a bit too childish and the pet/master relationship was a bit too creepy for my liking. I wasn't a fan of alpha mode, though at least the game warns you about it. After handing Kyu all the panties, it's automatically turned on and if you didn't get every outfit by than, tough luck. I couldn't even get through one date with that on. I got everything before turning the last pantie in, but still.
I beat this game a year or two, though only now through to write a review on it, so sorry if I misremember anything. I also used a guide since I didn't want to wander around aimlessly and wanted to do everything in my first run. With that out of the way, I though the game was alright, though nothing special. It showed its age, and while I can't fault it for being old and dated, it doesn't make it more fun for me. I did have fun with it, but it wasn't anything I have any interest in replaying. The combat wasn't bad, but the random encounters got annoying very quickly, and the RNG felt too D&D to be fun (in a "you roll a 1, so you are penalized because "wacky!'" sense, which isn't nearly as fun as when it happens with friends), and every skill check is a chance, not a skill-threshold like New Vegas, which was annoying from the start. I never cared for freedom in games that was just "you can kill kids" or other stuff like that, so that aspect didn't do anything for me. The exploration wasn't nearly as fun as in 3 and NV since it's just a dot moving over a map with random encounters. The special encounters are neat, but other than being references or giving the player the most powerful gun in the game, there's not much going for them. The story was enjoyable enough, but was a bit of a fetch quest and being told to go to X or Y. I you want to give it a try, go for it. Just be aware that it doesn't match the hype that much.
