Alright, time for my 50 cents on this title. It was a good few hours of my life, definitely entertaining enough to play through if DLC or such gets added.
Pros:
-Incredibly cheap for a title with effort put into it
-Great atmosphere with horror and fantasy elements. The near-ending to the second region was incredibly well done.
-Solid graphics and nice pixel art style
-Female cast have actual boobs and thiccness to 'em
-Smooth animations blend great with sprites, giving an overall fluidity to crisp pixel art.
-Nice atmospheric music, the forest level especially.
-Good PC design. Heavy gunner archetypes aren't a common sight as H-game protags and I appreciate that.
-Game doesn't easily lag, there can be lots of coins spilling out from enemies and it'll keep running fine.
-The PC's weapon feels like it has good impact. The satisfying "POW" sound of enemies dying is always welcome to hear.
-Most of the scenes are 10/10. Hair-armed girl, both zombie variants, fake bush tentacles, big slime, wall creeping girl. Chef's kiss.
-Some H-scenes are done in larger scale 2D artwork, and yes they are still animated.
-Three animated H-scenes depending on the region you die in
-A few would-be bugs have been fixed beforehand. If an enemy H-es the PC while she's going into a door, the H-scene will automatically end. Smart cookies.
-Scenes are broken into several randomised segments lasting a random amount of time. Meaning no scene will ever mirror another. Good idea for longevity!
-Even with your gear maxed, some enemies can still pose a threat.
-All shapes and sizes of enemies with the stats you'd expect from them
-Nothing gross or gory in sight. The way H-games should be.
-I get the feeling they took a page out of Zell23's book. This is good because he's creative and pretty unique in his approach to H-games.
Cons:
-In most areas it's not a problem, but vs certain bosses and hordes of enemies, there is SO. MUCH. SCREEN SHAKING.
-Some scenes are dragged down by their positioning. Two of the smallest final region's enemies block most of the action.
-Lacks little things like basic options, galleries and a map.
-Flying enemies can jump you from under the floor
-Incredibly easy to get lost while exploring. Some unintuitive encounters too, like that one ghost girl chase for instance.
-The second region has spots where it's too dark to properly see the platforms.
-Sometimes enemies and coins get stuck in objects like crates
-The green insect things are so fucking annoying, yeesh.
-There's lore, but it needs to be translated.
-No Boss H-scenes. Given how the "Nekomata" boss looks, that's an absolute crime.
-Missed opportunities to have the futa PC top some of the defeated enemies. Especially the zombie girls who get strewn about everywhere from your dick-powered gun.
-Elements of body horror can be seen in the form of a few bizarre enemies as well as the entirety of the final region.
-Bugs. The red hooded cultist can disable your ability to save, sometimes exiting a door in the final region can spawn you into the wall.
-Yeah, they missed out on the opportunity to have the numerous zombie girls swarm the PC.
Overall, 8.5/10, and a fine addition to my collection. Will become a 9 if it gets those bugfixes and gallery option, and a 9.5 if that gallery has sandbox elements.
