DLSite JP:
Ci-En:
Homepage:

Release Date: 24th December 2019

To start the game, turn on JAP text in order to enter the girl's name as a check. It must be in Japanese.

Gameplay:
A quick summary of the combat stack-based skills. You need x amount of stacks to unleash a learned skill. Otherwise, you mash attack by tapping the portrait of the enemy of your choice. Red is skill, Blue is defend, yellow is item, and green is an escape, as for as I can tell. The gameplay is rather minimal and there isn't much to do for exploration. The biggest hang-up is that game over rape is annoying to collect. You use a tent item to save in dungeon, you get rape CG back to back which means you need to get raped, then restart and kill before being raped by the 2nd one then restarting for the 3rd time and do the entire process all over again. Or, you get a lengthy exposition which you will clearly skip in order to get the CG but you didn't have the option to save for a while. Clearly, oversight of the developer not to understand player behaviour. You also need to do a lot of weird things to get CG which you may not know. Like resting at the oasis leads to rape, being a maid leads to rape, doing drugs on the street leads to rape, or just not reading the text when being given a choice, can lead to rape. Or get arrested for prostitution. That is also fun when you think you have that option.

Story-wise you have these factions which all basically bend their knee to you by the end of the story. Nothing really of importance and the game is rather boring to play through. The combat seems tacked on for reasons we can only say that it required a game to go with the CG.

Story and guide:

The story is basically about a nun found by a purple skinned succubus(?) who is apparently also a nun. She is raised in the monastery for most of her life and after she gets into a bit of a problem with the black-haired nun. They are raided by humanoids. These humans would also be called Orcs. The girl flees and winds up trying to cross the border. Well too bad as she is now sent off as a slave. She is then spending a rather minor section of the game in a prostitution town which acts as a tutorial for the prostitution system which is basically 5-6(?) cg repeated without body variations for the males but does have the heart variations. The protag will leave the town through a masked goblin/ogre/orc/Shrek who trains her for a few days before you are ultimately tasked to search the well. You come back up to find that this town gets burnt down cuz protag needs another reason to leave. She goes to a port and then receives a bit of aid from the local twin tails and an old man. You head west and encounter a girl with glasses. The protag must somehow get into the palace/town hall and meet the living crap out of the neet in the basement. Head to the forest in the east of the town and fight a bit before you head on back to the town to find it also burned down. This sort of becomes an ongoing trend by the way. Once this is settled and you fight off the invaders, you head back east to the port and get onto a boat for the next continent. But as per RPG tropes go, a Kraken appears and shipwrecks them all. Now the girl is left drifting until we get a time skip to her as a dancer/prostitute working in some rundown town. This is when we are introduced to the dancing mini-game. This is and the next one is the worst mini-games are they are based on your HP which really sucks since every attempt required to progress the storyline will drag on for minutes. You go and help them out and you see it get burnt down again. She leaves town and heads into an oasis city filled with prostitution, a colosseum, and a discount Gilgamesh. Here you are tasked to become the next champion before you can head onto the next part of your journey.
Once done, you head on past the desert and reach the human city. This place is anti-prostitution because it's run by either hardcore Christians or by hardcore politicians. We can't tell because they all look the same. You are basically tasked to get into the corrupt palace to challenge the corrupt government, but you are actually supposed to go work as a maid serving drinks in the tavern. Same thing as before, HP based mini-game. Just run the clock if you just want to finish. The MC will find out blue maid is actually some sort of political figure. It's like Bernie Sanders moonlighting at a maid cafe out in Akihabara. You get inside and somehow either get captured or enslaved. Either way, you wind up north of your current position. You are basically here as a sort of training camp arc(?) where the protag has to train under the tutelage of a strict no-drinking Shrek. Once you finish the two dungeons, you head on down and find yourself met by the invading army. Here you either fight to your rape or surrender which somehow doesn't even involve rape at all. Huh, didn't think orcs obeyed UN laws for war. She breaks out of jail once inside the demon castle and proceeds to find both the black-haired nun and the succubus who raised her. They escape with the help of twin tails and some old fogeys. Once you walk back you basically go down memory lane with the succubus mother. At this point, you are on your way to becoming the new saint so hang on tight. At this point, we find ourselves going back to the city, arresting the corrupt folk, then heading east to the somewhat Asian empire. Here, we are tasked with saving a long-haired guy and a little emperor. Because we have no sex with the long-haired guy, we can assume he's a eunuch. Here, we are doing yet another mini-game x amount of times to proceed. We are now running a cabaret club. Thankfully this one is easy, yet very boring. Just match the girls with the guy's interest. OR or or, just throw them at the guys at random and just get your completions into progress. Now we can head off to a graveyard. Find the boy, and fight another corrupt politician. Here, we are met by two sides. A catgirl army and a dragon boy army. The girl is friendly after she gets raped by your soldiers. The boy, unfortunately, doesn't like butt stuff so he's dead. To defeat the boy you need to head south and get the magical electric tentacle monster. Yes, magical tentacle monster. He will use his electric typing to hit the flying type enemies to do super effective damage. At the end of the conflict, we are then able to head back to the back city as the new saint and a final boss fight. To do the final boss fight we need new equipment which is barred behind getting materials. No idea where the blacksmith is to make it, the one in the red-light district just upgrades gear.

Controls: It's rather basic. CTRL to skip text and clicking with the mouse to interact with the game.

As for content, no loli or shota involved. Only old men, not kidding. Most of her game overs either include young rapists or very old rapists.


Brief Description + Details:
The developer has said very little about the plot and gameplay of the title so far. Nevertheless, some details may be gleaned from the images and notes that have been posted so far. (Note: All images & content were taken from publicly available developer posts. Follower-only images & content were not included for obvious reasons.)

-In case it wasn't obvious enough already, this is not an RPGMaker game.
-60+ Base CGs.
-The prostitution element may be a significant part of the gameplay, given the existing DLSite splash image & text. (Note: I could be completely wrong about this.)
-See for an early developer preview of what the system will look like (several placeholder images, obviously).
--Each client has preferred acts, a base price, and a HP cost (presumably, HP acts like stamina during this phase).
--After selecting a client, three options are presented, from top to bottom:
---1. Proceed with the act.
---2. Negotiate price (does not always succeed).
---3. Look for another client.

-However, the game does also include dungeon-crawler-like gameplay and other mini-games as well (refer to attached images in spoiler below, spoilered due to size). More images can be found on the developer's Ci-En page (not all posts are limited to followers-only, some are publicly accessible).
-From the images below, there will also likely be different jobs/costumes available (or some combination of both).
-There is a post limit of 10 images so I cannot provide more, but from the images posted, combat in the dungeons is turn-based, with available at the beginning of each turn (attack, defend, item, run).
-Progression through the dungeons is node-based (such as & , albeit without the nodes; see pictures in spoiler).
-You can potentially to tackle dungeons.
-There are also to be earned.

-On the story: The devs have kindly provided a , as below, with some details.
-In the linked post, they note that it is the oldest setting they've worked with so far (something about Year 500 of the star calendar; I have not played their previous works and so cannot say if there is any continuity across them in terms of the universe they take place in).

-Left Column.
-From her default outfit below, the protagonist, Lenarith(?) [top left] is a nun (修道女), who lives in the village of Iris along with everyone else in the left column (also nuns).
--Lenarith (Protagonist)
--Srcu? Screw? (Worries too much about Lenarith)
--Sister Tamisa (Acts like everyone's big sis)
--Linette (Makes medicine as a hobby)
--Orin/Olin (Dreaming of men)
--Cherol? (Likes shiny/pretty things)

-Middle Column.
--Madam Rose (Owner of the Rose Brothel in the Desire red light district, bought Lenarith as a slave)
--Viola (A prostitute who works at the Rose Brothel, teaches Lenarith about the trade)
--Don Britt(?) (Master of the Desire red light district, gets in Madam Rose's way)
-- Gon Britt(?) (Younger brother of the above, leads the Desire tropps)
--Dan Jo(?) (More than 100 years old, ruler of Seaside Kingdom)
--夜霧(Yogiri?) (A Shinobi in Dan Jo's service, collects information/intelligence for him)

-Right Column.
--Marthe (King of the Lunarthe Republic, has great magic ability[?] but no interest in using it)
--Plode(?) (Chief Magician who serves Marthe; can't make out kanji in second line)
--The Maou Obsidio (The original Maou, who has been wasting away for more than 500 years)
--Last 3 are just his 3 generals, basically

20476

From the sample CGs, we can see that happen to the nuns, and eventually after bad things also happen to Lenarith, she gets as a slave (to Madam Rose based on the descriptions above).

That should be it, for now.

27/03 Update - Simple lockpicking system added (not clear if it'll be in the final release or not). It's a time-based mechanic, but dev says it gives you a lot of leeway so shouldn't be too difficult in-game.

More importantly, the release date might be pushed back again so the dev can work on more CGs for new events.

21/12 Update - Release Date announced. 24th December 2019 on DLSite, 25th December 2019 on FANZA/DMM.

Looks interesting, will have to see how the H-scenes actually are though. The prostitution kinda reminds me of 素晴らしき国家の築き方 (RJ219681), even the title screen looks very similar. Not surprising considering how much that game sold I guess.

I don't read runes and I'm unsure of a way to hook this - was having a look at the trial and there's a box that pops up at the start that wants you to type something in and I have no idea what it's expecting but it won't let you progress. Any help?

OP does not meet standard for a released game, requires non-tentative info. PM a mod with an update to the OP. Thread locked.

>You can't save in the exploration maps and sometimes

Actually, you use a tent item to save in dungeon (you use it, it bring up your stat menu and you can use the save/load function)

Huh, didn't notice that when I wrote the OP. Sort of just used the camp without really noticing. Guess that part needs to be changed.

HAS A ANNOYING GAIJIN BARRIER AT START. NEED VIRTUAL KEYBOARD IN JAPANESE TO PLAY
OR GRAB A SAVE DATA GALLERY OPEN.

Was kinda good game. The gameplay core is the history development, a tons of texts scripts worked there.
The plot is ok, normal mode and slut mode(only if using afrodisiac drugs or slut title). HAS MATING PRESS only on late-game.
Game difficult is kinda ok friendly, but the developer has kinda a fetish to make you save EVERYTIME without alarm before a main-boss or map options to you be able to unlock full gallery. Careful, always save before starting a map or a new city

There is a lot of ending, mostly you losing to main quest boss or sidequests, and repetitive options.

For playing just for fap, just grab a save with full gallery open, you will have to play 6+ hours to clear game, but no all gallery open...

BRUUUUUUH, NO VANILLA ORC ENDING, all that orc lord thats trained the mc and their development was too good to be wasted like that.
Has mating press, but mc moan text script was not arousing enough

Gaijin barrier can be skipped using jap setting for keyboard in windows.

The orc is more like Yoda in this sense. Not really meant to be a love interest. Guy just trains the MC. If they did, it would be really funny for a vanilla ending where the human saint marries the orc lord. Even more funny if they actually developed the characters more and included more VN elements like triggering flags to see more of the side characters rather than forcing us down a path.

Yeah, turns out people don't like you pirating their games. Who knew right? Who knew. Needed a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

Anyways, you just gotta type in a short string of Japanese characters, which Windows pretty comes with them installed anyways. If not, you can easily download them from Microsoft.

And yes I agree, what a missed opportunity for some orc cock. She could had gotten orc cock from that orc she saved too.

Er, not to blow your mind or anything mister rocket scientist but an anti-piracy measure to block people who aren't your intended customers in the first place has very limited utility, ESPECIALLY when said block doesn't disappear when you purchase the item.

Do you not know dlsite has an international version too? Should I invite a rocket scientist as a consultant too?

I really like this game, and the design of the main girl is pretty hot.
The intro makes the beginning a little bit depressing, but after that it's enjoyable.
I'm hoping there is a good ending with her being a prostitute and using her charms to reach it.

Guys, that's not an anti piracy measure at all...
It's used in one of the endings according to the explaining text, and you can literally write anything as long as it's in Japanese characters.
Like, even copy paste the game exe name (レナリスサーガ) if you want...
And anyway, I recommend to buy the game for the lovers of well done prostitution games, it's worth it and it's good to support devs who give a shit for great stuff like this.

First of all, he DID NOT have it on the English site and most people who put this "anti-gaijin" measures DO NOT EITHER. 2nd, even if he did put it there, the ENG site sell like 1-5% the amount the JAP one does and 80%+ of you "gaijins" pirate their game. Apparently YOU DO need a rocket scientist to figure this out since you seem incapable of seeing things from their perspective. Lastly, not everyone is out to get you bro, they not doing certain things just cuz they hate you or your "kind," you do not need to take everything so personally.

Not that there are really anyone who do put up these measures anyways since they know it's pointless and can only hurt them. It's not gonna make pirates buy the games cuz most pirates never will anyways and can only piss some people who might had bought the game. Also, someone will almost always find ways to crack it. So yes, I agree that it is a stupid thing to do cuz it's pointless, pirates will either pirate it or not play at all but at least with pirates, you can spread your name. But I suppose for them, it's not so much about the sales as it is about letting pirates play for free so I can somewhat understand their sentiment.
