Went ahead and supported the dev on Ci-en to look at the demo. It was only version 0.1 alpha, so there wasn't much besides what seemed to be the tutorial mission.
*snip*
Does it seem like it'll be all 'human' in term of sex?

With the way it seems to be set up, along with the previews on CI-en, it does seem like it'll be mostly human.
The dev seemed interested in doing some scenes with non-humanoid creatures based on some of their replies to other comments, however the game is in it's early stages (Only 10 months in development, only the rough groundwork & Chapter 0; the introduction, are finished currently.) so there's the potential that they might include some, I'll go ahead and ask the dev about it though.

Also, since I've been lurking and leeching for a while on ULMF; I'll stop being a dork and actually give you guys a download for the demo as a thank you~
There's no loli or anything in the alpha version so I think it should be fine to share? The loli from the last game will be returning in future updates, though there's nothing with them in the demo besides their default character art currently.
Alpha version is around ~800MB

The other day, I was poking around at the Ci-en and decided to translate the prostitution/battle fuck system flowchart found . I'm a bit reluctant to post this now since Angelfalse had already done a great job summarizing most of the gameplay mechanics in the demo (and was also nice enough to post the demo itself). The translation was about 80% done before that, so I'll just post the finished translation anyway to pretend that my effort didn't go to waste. In any case, I'm hoping this information is useful to you guys.

Big disclaimer: The info here is dated March 30, 2020; it's likely that several things have changed. My Japanese is trash tier too (sub N5 level proficiency), so the flowchart is guaranteed to have a few errors.

Edit: played the alpha 0.1 demo and doing prostitution stuff doesn't seem to be option yet. The demo stops just before you're able to free roam around town to gather info/allies.

In case you guys don't want to read the flowchart (it gets a bit vague in some places), I'll do my best to summarize it. Kindly let me know if I messed up anywhere.
Enokippu appears to have designed his prostitution system to be distinct enough from the combat rape that occurs during infiltration missions. The main goal here is to get the opponent to cum before Botan does (to gain an ally/assassinate a target/etc.).

Before anything sexy happens, you get the option to select the position/act Botan will use to please the opponent. The opponent will then accept or reject the offer based on their preferences (e.g. some targets are penetration only and wouldn't accept a blowjob). Enokippu mentioned that he wanted to add to this system later on by allowing the opponent to force Botan to take his dick if he isn't getting enough satisfaction from, say, a handjob.

Once the opponent acceptions your proposition, the main attraction begins. There's a "time bar" located on the top of the screen that determines who gets to act. Icons representing Botan or the opponent move left to right along it. Whenever an icon reaches the right side of the bar, the entity it represents gets a turn, and the icon moves back to the far left side. During the "battle", the pleasure gauges of both participants passively increase.

When the opponent gets to act, he throws a QTE that you have to perform. If you fail the QTE, Botan's pleasure gauge goes up depending on the "state" of the opponent (white/pink/red). If you succeed, a follow up QTE appears. If you pass this follow up, no penalty is incurred. Otherwise, the opponent's "alertness" goes up, which affects which "state" he's in. The higher his "alertness", the faster he fills up Botan's pleasure gauge on QTE failure.

When Botan gets to act, she has the choice of continuing to service the opponent, finish up, or to assassinate him (the flowchart didn't really mention Botan's options on her turn, so this is purely guesswork).

Once Botan manages to make the opponent ejaculate, a few things can happen. The opponent becomes dazed/stunned for a while and can't act. In this state, his "carelessness" stat is 100%. If Botan and the opponent cum simultaneously, the opponent recovers faster and is able to act first (so you auto-fail QTEs). Depending on the situation, you can stop/continue/assassinate when the opponent ejaculates. However, if the opponent is a half-oni and Botan gets creampied, it's an instant game over.

If Botan cums, and she has "barriers" left, then she simply gets dazed for a while and all QTE's automatically fail. Then you return to the task of trying to get the guy to ejaculate. Otherwise, Botan faints loses a "sigil" (this protects her from the effects of demonic lust). The opponent continues fucking her anyway when this happens. The game's over once Botan loses all her protective sigils. If Botan still has sigils remaining, for a non-assassination type prostitution event, the opponent simply gets up and leaves once he's done. Otherwise (in assassination missions), you get to toss some dice to determine Botan's fate. If you win the dice roll, Botan kills the opponent. If you don't, then the opponent goes for another round until he ejaculates again (during this time, Botan loses sigils equal to the amount of times she cums). You play the dice rolling minigame again until either Botan kills the opponent or she loses all her sigils. Depending on who you lose to, there may be a special scene.

On assassination: when it's Botan's turn, you have the option to "prepare for a lethal strike" or "perform a surprise attack". If the enemy is dazed (after ejaculation), then a surprise attack is a guaranteed kill. If not, then the surprise attack does damage according to the formula: opponent "carelessness" * 4 * attack damage. If you choose to prepare a lethal strike and the enemy isn't dazed, then you enter a few turns of "preparation time". The length of preparation depends on several things, which include: sex position picked, bonuses gained/lost during QTEs, and the opponent's "carelessness" stat. Once the turn counter for "preparation" hits 0, Botan kills the opponent. If the enemy ejaculates during "preparation", Botan also kills him instantly. If Botan cums instead during "preparation", then the turn counter is reset and she becomes dazed/faints depending on how many "barriers" and "sigils" she has. Assuming that she recovers, she can try to prepare a lethal strike again when it's her turn.

Correction to previous post on mechanics:

Indulge: Raises count by one for appeal. This is used in the calculation for the seduction kill dice roll. For the demo guard, players can only appeal 5 times, which will max out the success chance at 75%. Failure will terrify Botan which slows her action gauge and renders her incapable of taking any action until she shakes off the fear. For the record, I can get 75% at the cost of one oni seal. If the enemy has already penetrated Botan, % chance of success drops. The base chance is dependent on Botan's charm stat, so what the enemy is doing at the time only applies to penetration vs. non-penetration. He can be horny as hell or only warming up and it has no bearing on the success or failure of the technique.

The demo guard is easily beaten even without the seduction kill, but for tougher opponents which players have configured Botan for seduction this is probably the fastest and most efficient way of getting out of tough combats.

After playing the alpha version, only thing I can add on is what's written in the techniques (忍術) and seals (印墨) panel.
As mentioned earlier, the full version will most likely implement changes that will void anything currently seen in the alpha version.

I'm not going to explain more of the skills when they're upgraded since I don't have the points to upgrade everything to max level. Those who are reading the Ci-En blog can see a sneak preview of what the upgraded skills are like in the video.

忍術

戦闘術

疾風苦無: Throws Kunai. Shortens duration to next action. Damage dealt is half of ATK stat +1.
影分身: Generates 2 shadows. Each shadow can absorb 1/4 of damage inflicted before disappearing. Shadows will carry over between fights if they are still extant after victory.

諜報術

根こそぎ: After successful pickpocketing attempt, small bonus of coin and other materials.
房中術のいろは: During seduction, ability to sense the sexual preferences of the other party. This is useful since seduction in the main game yields information and is a source of income.
悪意の嗅ぎ分け: Senses the ill intention of the counterparty to deceive Botan. Also, dangerous QTEs (like the one with the guard in the prologue) now have colours attached to them.

身体強化

霊気硬化: +2 to HP.
呪力増幅: +2 to MP
攻気研磨: +2 to ATK
俊足: +1 to AGI
雌の色香: +3 to Charm
精神統一: +2 to RES

印墨

封鬼の印: +10 to RES, +1 to Oni seal
隷属の印: -5 to RES, -100 to ? (Players will get this unremovable seal regardless of the result of the shuffle game with Karasu).

Is anyone else's window security picking up threats from the mega link (seems to think the application is a trojan)? I think it might be a false positive since my malwarebites isn't picking anything up but not too sure

Edit: Also my game keeps becoming a black screen after a minute or two, anyone know why? My guess is that it has something to do with the windows security defender picking up a threat from the game

It's just you.

RPGMV doesn't like my system because I get that profile.js error message each time I open the game. However, it's not an issue after I close the popup. Windows Defender doesn't flag the files in the link for me.

Dev responded to my question, I just asked if there will be any scenes with non-human creatures & if there will be some yuri.
Non-human creatures are confirmed, no yuri though :(

Not sure why Windows Defender is flagging the file I sent. I just uploaded the exact .zip file I downloaded from Ci-En.
Though, as soon I opened the folder, windows defender gave me a warning about the .exe as well... It didn't do this the last times I played.
I have all the game files unpacked since I was attaching cliplogger to it, and I don't get any warnings about the unpacked ones, probably just something weird with the launcher the dev uses.

Yeah, Windows Defender got cranky at it, but Malwarebytes didn't care. I'd assume it's a false positive.

Anyway, I've played through the alpha now and fuck me, this IS going to be the best hentai game ever (for me), isn't it? It was bloody perfection, and the alpha ending with describing in-betweens of missions and the start of the game being a teaser for it, it can only get better! I shouldn't have played the damn thing, haha. The wait is going to suck balls now.

Also: thanks for giving out the alpha! This might just be the first porn game I'll ever pay for (other than Diminishment) once it comes out...

I took a look at this. The main exe is just a loading screen that is displayed because the actual game - KN.exe - takes a little while to start up. That's all there is to it. That one little screen that says "Wait..."

Defender is probably suspicious of it because it checks the processes you have running. But all it does with this information is check the status of KN.exe so that it can kill itself once the actual game has started.

It's completely harmless. You can just delete it and start KN.exe instead.

I see thanks everyone, figured it was a false positive since I noticed i could start the game with the other exe instead but confirmation is nice

Yeah i also get this profile.js error nearly everytime I open a game that requires it and don't have an issue after closing the pop up, this is the first time i've had a problem with the game that has this pop up, might try redownload the file and see if i can get rid of the black screen

Edit: Sorry for asking so many things but I get this error now after waiting a while on the black screen, would anyone happen to know how to fix it? Things i've tried are changing the folder name to english, running it as admin, putting the folder on exception for windows defender and even had JP unicode when unzipping with 7zip Error.PNG

Thank you for sharing the demo.
So from what I've seen, these are the h-content available in the demo:
  • Losing the "spin the wheel" minigame has the other guy start groping the heroine. Can repeatedly lose to advance the stages of groping but another guy will eventually step in and force a setup where you can only win.
  • Dying or climaxing with no seals will result in a game over, with one game over scene atm.
  • Combat rape with the guard that waits by the doorway. Only 1 position as the guard goes from groping to penetrating.
  • Hypnosis/mind control with that one guy if wrong choice is picked. She gets fucked from behind.
Am I missing anything? From what I understand, prostitution/seduction hasn't been implemented yet. So the regular patrol guards can only be fought normally. And there is also no clothes stripping yet like the previous game so the combat rape is always fully clothed.

shows the heroine getting fucked on her side until she squirts. And it also shows what looks like the wheel minigame guy fucking her, while she wears different clothing. I know the different clothes aren't implemented yet but I wonder if either of these two animations are in the demo. The wheel guy one seems like the logical progression if the player continuously loses but I can't seem to stop the other guy from stepping in. Perhaps I'm missing something since I don't understand any of the text. Or it's just not in the game yet and it's meant to show up later.

Game seems promising, already looked pretty good from the preview clips. The animation and higher resolution certainly gives it a huge step forward. What I like about the animations is that since the people move around during dialogue, you can kind of get a feel of the emotions/events even without understanding any text. Seems like there will be a variety of minigames and QTE events throughout the game so that looks like it'll keep things interesting.

Game over scene has two variants: Clothed and fully nude. To get the latter, fail the ambush QTE and lose the battle.
For everything else in the Ci-En, it's not available in this demo.

The wiggly eyes and the animation reminds me of Nanamo Nanase animations.

My Interest raised massively.

Here's a fun fact about the demo.
Technically, there's a bit more H-animations in the game, but it's inaccessible through normal means and it's broken as fuck.
If you're familiar with the process, you can unpack the game files and then add the RPG Maker MV cheat menu. One of the options is to teleport between maps.
Teleport to Map 19, and you'll see this scene.

If you try to interact with the man in the middle, the following shit happens.
1606798267864.png
Funny enough, this means you might be able to use this as a sort of uncensor since it's not mosaic'd yet; you just need to find which file has this.
It is animated, but as you can see, it's jank as fuck. No SE plays also, although the background music is spooky.
I'm not exactly sure what are the exact conditions for this next one.
What I did was to leave the house via the bottom door, which brings you a village with placeholder NPCs. I spoke with one.
1606798540254.png
And that's all I found by poking through the maps available, anyway. Note that teleporting to some locations or losing in battles will likely make you softlocked and/or need to restart. If you do try this yourself, I would recommend going to Map 35. There's no real new H-content here, but it does have NPCs to trigger various QTEs and game mechanic stuff.
