i need to state this in case some people experience the same, be sure to grab the latest patch on dev ci-en:
You must be registered to see the links
because apparently DLsite is down for some time and so dev cannot upload the latest version to the store so you need to apply the patch manually which is ver 1.28, i have 1.00 and confuse because there's no update on store page, i encounter problem in which Hatter cannot be found in her store after certain battle event which lock me away from befriending her, and also few game breaking bug where if i scan a certain boss it will infinite scan loop her
total of 22 hour of gameplay to good ending, 19 hour of those probably waste on the grind and shitty errand, not full 100% completion but i take it
this game hits in different scale than all previous game they ever had, especially story-wise which i can't help but describe this game as FGO of 62Studio.
Gameplay:
enjoyable, but soon being repetitive and slightly annoying. one of the worst thing is putting extra condition you need to fulfill to befriend every single one of these succubus, some are simple like pick [what you like] then with follow up answer [i like reading] or something, then there are some like "have 5 different kind of cookies" and you won't be able to find the last cookie unless you look up some guide. some can even be more annoying which turn the whole thing into errand works, moving from one city to another...
however, i like the improvement on the befriend mechanic, for instance each succubus will bring different kind of benefit or one-time gift for your town if you befriend her, some can be very useful because you can just buy from them instead of foraging for that thing across the world, or you can be cure of status ailment for free instead of paying hefty price for the antidote. in old games befriending succubus is mandatory for true ending but at the same time each one don't bring that much of benefit or no benefit at all.
Graphic:
the art keeps getting better and with more artist, but what i didn't expect that 62Studio game to finally had is opening MV and event CG, not sex scene but actual event CG, most of which are very wholesome. the effect they play for after world truth and to ending is quite nice with all those static, although at the same time i hate to travel across those dark forest on the NE of the map, i can't see anything.
Story:
as for the story though........... i need someone with deep understanding to correct me or set me up straight
let see...
so this game plot has turn into much MUCH darker tone than any of 62Studio ever had. i mean succubus hunting men is already common setting here, but like, obliterating an entire world and it's denizen, corrupting your partner of choice... which return to normal in no time, sure.but i can't help that this is much more serious than the old games they did. trapping men, isekai the boy mc, the world ruler got manipulated and usurp, or the ruler is straight up evil. no, this time it's fate of 2 world at stake with the confrontation of 2 god-like entity on each others neck... and you are pretty much the apostle entrusted to defeat the evil and save both world, or face annihilation
so that final boss, the big baddie of this game, that's Demon? the very same character we would met in previous games should we go into world end/genocide route? this time she's not some kind of secret hidden character but actual finale we have to face? so all this time she's been hiding in all old games was pretty much foreshadowing for this? i'm a bit loss
and that sheep costume, that's 62-chan right? i mean it has to be 62-chan cause when Demon devour her, Demon appearance become very close to 62-chan. Demon know her because she's fellow devil, that entire memory sequence after every area boss is all 62-chan memory with Demon. though i'm not very sure if 62-chan actually talk with Demon in that memory, only the fact that that person is also a devil because 62-chan said so in one of the sequence
also from what has been said, is 62-chan basically the one who create Wonderland and it's dweller? so technically she's Lewis Carol but not really
also Demon literally call her Valac, so 62-chan is true name is Valac? the one from Ars Goetia. although 62-chan seem to hate that name with her entire being.
there's also Bosewitch, the final boss from Succubus Puttel, like how did she get there? isn't she perished in the true end of that game? one of her dialogue mention how she know Azreth and call Reto as another interesting human besides "him", so this is her after the event from Succubus Puttel, but she should've been dead from that game. sure it was mentioned that right now she's weakened, far from her prime...
also, i think Valac mentioned about the 7 sins succubus is made by some devil with "bad taste", it can't be Demon cause she would say so, so i guess we're having another devil in near future
summary, the story is much more heavy and serious than all the story they had in the past, which is welcome for me and i'm more or less expect the seriousness considering the poster of Lewis and Caroll like that
overall excellent game, 9/10 because the annoying grindy mechanic and the dialogue process to befriend succubus can get annoying. i hope there's more coming like after story extras
what do you mean item? like pass to get to their place?
Lust is at the top floor of hot spring in the Sinus town to the North East, you need special pass that HOP member who standing at VIP floor had, just talk to her and she let you take the pass inside her locker
Greed is at big mansion in Emeral town, to get to the Emeral town you need special permit which you can get by satisfying at least 4 gourmet group member at Denim settler (pass the entrance of Wrath dungeon) or through the back alley route by erasing the crab that stand in front of it

- kyukkyu has made a walkthrough (
Yeah, but there's no special image or anything. They make a one line remark and then the hit the green minigame pops up. Miss and you lose 1 level and they get a boost. Hit the green and nothing happens.
are the updates worth it on store page it says added content i already beaten the game i plan to wait for the 1.5 or wait even longer for 2.0 if 1.5 does not really add new stuff like zones maybe couple of enemies it its just scenes i may get it just for the succubus house or if the translation out before 2.0, to play the story.
on a side note can you recruit the sins in the demo it said there be an event in town when your at lvl 30/ amount of people in town maybe that changed at full release didn't check i recruited couple of enemies on fully release and never seen a sin show up in town.

the latest which is 1.36 are mostly just bug fixes and recollection scene that wasn't there before, no story addition or new character, dev promise addition for 1.5 and big update for 2.0 so if you don't want to bother with little bug fixes then you can sleep until actual addition got release
for the side note, the 7sins only recruitable if you have at least 30 people in your town, and when you did so, they will stay at special housing at top left, all 7 of them

you cannot enter if there's no one inside, you need to recruit at least one of the 7 so they could occupy it and live there, only then it can be enter
if you still cannot enter it still, then you might have old buggy version. but i don't think that's the case since i play the entire 80% of my gameplay on 1.0 until i encounter game breaking bug against Hatter and Chesire
