PC game

Additional tip to "avoid the dark content" : Abandon "kid" talent or you might hear "OKAA-SAN/MOMMY" whenever she's sold out during hustle

[@Toze_Senpai]

Those "Tips on avoiding dark content" were actually the best part of the game for me lol

[@slushys9919]

Bro I just last during one of the story quest and the ero scene featured kirakira damn that shit was pretty disgusting I hope that's the last one I get T~T

[@hexagonal69]

Honestly, if you don’t like rape but wanna 100% the game you can just hold down ctrl and it’ll skip past it.

[@flamewolf393]

The dark content is literally the whole point of games like this lol. Theres plenty of games just like this that arent sexual. These ryona games, the whole point is to see every single possible bad end before winning :)

[@tomekfranciszek9237]

i got only one bad end when i played through it and it was with Kikuchi i was quite sad since she is my fav girl but there was no way to avoid it, i went into the school festival mission and my girls were horribly underleveled, so even when i powered through the initial fights, the boss completely bodied me, since all the enemies had higher speed than my team i got wiped before i had my turn

[@yunireiv7672]

It is genuinely impressive when a H game is somehow one of my favorite turn based games of all time

[@mifostor6799]

i actually like the darker aspects the whiplash between the artstyle and the dark contents is what draw me in

[@leevanying1332]

The reason why kuma canonically have melee as starting moveset And then take aim ( 4 range ) , pump lead ( cluster , 4 range iirc ) , as ranged but very weak option Is that he has been known for not being good at aiming , he has been teased multiple time in the early section for the game for choosing gun as the weapon of choice , but suck extremely ass at aiming Take him as reverse Alyce gameplay wise Kuma , 120% pow close range , but only 60% and 20% option at ranged While Alyce is 160% 6 range , but 20% close range And the ship section is a major difficulty spike for me lel Need to grind a lot XD

[@Carbon_Soda]

"It's like the Persona 5 of EroVNs" said my friend who gave me the final push to play it, and I must say, he's kinda right I'm only a couple of hours in, Antenna recently joined my party, and I'm really enjoying it. Not really a fan of the "darker stuff" but I always go for a 100% of the CGs, so I'm going to have to stomach it, this isn't my first Alicesoft game after all

[@TheAugustHail]

The more I think about it and play it, it really is the Persona 5 of Ero-RPGs, even down to some story similarities

[@KnightCrown]

I'm an alicesoft fan. I literally started learning Japanese 6 months ago for this game and they actually localised it lol

[@TheAugustHail]

I never considered this would be localized so soon. So I was pleasantly surprised!

[@an_inch_to_death444]

Hey man, what other alicesoft games can you recommend? I've already played this game and Evenicle

[@KnightCrown]

@@an_inch_to_death444 Definitely the Rance series. 1 has been remade and localised, you can start there. It's quite a rabbit hole by itself

[@KujouLuca]

I have this love and hate with Rance himself but the story is amazing. I can already see it on Kichikuou Rance but seeing it becoming polished and expanded on the main series gave me a sense of satisfaction.

[@KujouLuca]

@@an_inch_to_death444 The remakes for the earlier entries of the Rance series also made it bearable for newer players so Rance is indeed a good suggestion

[@DonaldDuckPK]

Honestly i think i discovered Alicesoft games too late, really a godsend, 'cause they are really capable game designers. When i'm done with Sengoku Rance i'll definitely play this.

[@TheAugustHail]

After 20 years, Alicesoft really has proven themselves to be great game developers

[@mercy2409]

Alice Soft is a legend at this point, personally is the best brand in the whole medium

[@litcherallyy]

i read the entirety of the dev comments after finishing the game and it was great. i also like that they specifically gave it this upbeat tone and art style while giving it a dark underside to make you really feel that juxtaposition. the dark content really hits when you're so used to feeling really happy and enjoying the game's content. speaking of the dev commentary, you should read it! it explains a lot of decisions (like how kuma has 0 range specifically so that he's more like a leader, being at the front rather than the back picking off enemies, which is why his ranged attacks arent as amazing as his point blank shots) and it's overall very entertaining to read.

[@YB_.]

Where can I find the dev commentary?

[@kratine8610]

I enjoy this game alot, i've finish all of the unique ending include Mistress CG, i was worth it tho the only things make me bored is making money, and grind out character, as keeping the VIP Satisfy because if i dont, they gonna took my money away :( the game really kick me hard when i reach mid-game, where enemy just oneshot me with just one turn and i only optain a few Bad End CG because "i'm curious", and stop after get 3 of it, because it gonna make me sad (i dont want my Kirakira get bumped by some random clown) i also like the all the male character in the game, from they design, to they personality, and the voice acting was good, too

[@DrayLoco]

Yo this convinced me. Thanks for putting it on my radar man! I like your energy

[@TheAugustHail]

Thanks~

[@AoiUsagiOtoko]

this game has a cooler aesthetic than a lot of non-horny games i've seen honestly. i was smitten with the visuals the moment i saw it and i'm really happy it got a translated release fairly soon after the game itself came out i wish alicesoft's other games besides the rance series got more appreciation in the english speaking fandom, they're usually fun as hell and i like that they branch out so much with different gameplay and visual styles

[@joaomarcoscosta4647]

Given this game's reputation, I was not expecting it to get an official English localization so soon. That aside... Man, do the animations look gorgeous.

[@TheAugustHail]

Yeahhh sameeeeee

[@KujouLuca]

Himehajime imoco art style has a certain charm.

[@BruceGoneLoose]

This is completely off topic, but your voice would sound completely in-place in an IGN video.

[@TheAugustHail]

Haha, thanks!

[@rozanyan_8700]

After playing it, 3:02 it's actually true, you will think like this after you actually broke or make pregnant one of your "talent", after thinking like that, i actually pause the game and question myself "so maybe this is what psycopath thinking of other human huh, that really messed up" and after that i start to protect the girl from broken/pregnant by dump her earlier or atleast have stack amount of pill and just go hunting if my pill is outstocked

[@alantoledo1758]

I finished Dohna Dohna today on your recommendation Would really like to see more videos of VN's you think are a 5/5 with seal I'm starting Majikoi today

[@strollas]

damn triple a visual novel. looks so clean, stylish, and full with content. also unique. interesting

[@youcantbeatk7006]

How is this triple A?

[@strollas]

@@youcantbeatk7006 very polished and stylish look that almost matches the level of persona, which i consider pretty big. everything else also looks very polished

[@OneFinalAutumn]

I'm honestly fine with the morally ambiguous content. As long as I'm aware there will be h-scenes I'm prepared to do whatever I need to do to finish the game.

[@almostcheesecake]

What if we took Darkest Dungeon, and make it anime?

[@darkens_exe3586]

I think I will definitely download it, the art style is too good and I have never played an eroge, so it is going to be my starting point

[@TheAugustHail]

Have fun~!

Did you get traumatized yet

[@darkens_exe3586]

@@raseruuu3742 actually I got pissed off that some days after downloading locale emulator in order to run the game, Windows Defender deleted It and now i have to reinstall It again. But I Will definitely play It in the future, I player It some hours and it's pretty cool

great review as always! :)

FOund your review after playing the game, will be watching this channel for future reviews :D

[@TheAugustHail]

Awesome, thank you! Welcome!

[@drlovec6925]

Damn I wanted to play this on the switch but it's not even available on steam either. Its noice that you played it

[@Hambs23]

lmao It would actually be a good Switch title. Sadly, 18+ and consoles are a no-go for publishers. And I think the game would have to be way too heavily modified to get a 17+ version. To this date, there is a single, non 18+, Alicesoft game on console: Toushin Toushi Girls Gift on 3DS. A Japan exclusive remake of one of their old VN/RPG.

[@klyburn4115]

go to the dungeon and grind for ant pregnancy pills. the raid never ends boyzs

[@yuuschzhie8822]

Oh boy I've been playing a lot of Lobotomy Corporation and this game's brothel "pairing" system reminds me of assigning people to handle abnormalities... Surely it can't be morally worse than the time I hired five newbies for the sole purpose of feeding them into an iron maiden blender?

[@NGMK]

Raiding hospital line had me rolling. I can't completely agree with the "style over substance" line - I mean, yeah, newcomers might get a whiplash (do average VN players play VNs without knowing anything about it, beside looking cute?), but anyone recognising the artstyle will immediately expect non-con gangbangs.

[@TheAugustHail]

I suppose to those familiar with that artist since they were a main member of the Alicesoft team, but even I didn't know of the darker content going in for the first time lol

[@BQD_Central]

To be fair: If you are not used to Alicesoft, then you can get really surprised how far they go. Rape is almost every time part of the gameplay of Alicesoft games, and they do not care if you don't like it.

[@sjulingaming694]

was hoping you might be able to help me figure out how to buy this thing? they didn't seem to make it very easy between buying it directly but needing 3d secure which I've never heard of before, or from a second hand website to buy coins to then go back and buy the game itself? just hoping you could lead me the right way! thanks

[@TheAugustHail]

If the 3D secure payment is giving you issues, try buying coins and using those coins to purchase the game.

[@CakSindox]

Oh my satan saxophone, you were right. I was pulled in by the vibrant colors, unique art style, and ero-rpg aspect. I did not know anything beside these listed elements. And now, after watching your video, I am very conflicted. I very much want to play this - the dark ends and cg, less than savory elements, and possibly bad times, is really pushing to not play this. The internal conflict is so real, it actually hurts mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. This pain is almost as much as the one I have for Katawa Shojo. I might actually play it, but I will love and hate very moment of playin it. Satan help me.

[@tomekfranciszek9237]

when you get a bad end, it is unpleasant but overall its still worth it, very much so the characters interacting and hanging out doing some stupid shit together was fun

[@PeliPelaaja]

Amazing the English version is now out there.

[@Scott_Inksmith]

Oh nice! And well done reviews. Let me go get a snack and sit down to watch this one!

[@TheAugustHail]

Haha, thanks and enjoy!

[@dreamofthehikikomoriparody3064]

This looks amazing. I think the brothel aspects sound hillarious.

[@definitelyhuman4510]

It's pretty disturbing even if it's meant as a joke. The way you got them by kidnapping and turning them into sex slaves is awful. The music is banger tho.

[@17th_Colossus]

Yup it's fun, ppl take this stuff too seriously. First world problems.

[@enteredyournamecorrectly9682]

Hi, could i ask a question abot dohna dohna? For weapon materials, where do you find them? I want to get most of my characters with orange (250k yen) weapons but i cant find the materials for the other characters. Sorry if this is inconveniencing you.

[@TheAugustHail]

I found them all around in the maps randomly. I really can't give you a firm answer. I would recommend checking out the Alicesoft Wiki!

[@raseruuu3742]

I wish Alicesoft made Beat Wars single player like this one..

[@TaiketsuG]

the whole brothel stuff is one of the reason why i didnt get it so far. I mean i played Rance 1+2 and Eve 1 for now but that was more "ok" i guess? Also u sad something about heroine endings, meaning the is no real story ending or did i missunderstodd? I guess the bad endings are typical rape scenes like in Eve already seen?

[@TheAugustHail]

There are characters endings if you max out a character's affection but there is a normal end if you don't pursue any

[@DeshTlins]

The game has 8 different endings, one for each playable heroine, one for a NPC heroine and one nomal ending when you fail to get any of them. Each playable heroine has 2 bad scenes. One is their bad ending which is a gameover, the other is the scene where you fail to rescue them in time and they get violated, however it's not a gameover and you can continue the game. All of the bad scenes are completely avoidable.

[@whoareyoutoaccuseme6588]

I love everything about this game.

[@Mr003251]

Thank you for the warning

[@antorchowdhury9996]

Man I really want to play this game because of how stylish it is...but the morally questionable things probably aren't good for my mental health so I won't. Great Review as always btw!~

[@NeonElse.]

is this game only on the windows?

[@Hambs23]

I don't actually mind the whole forced labor and actually find the unique scenes pretty cool in their own way. There's some mildly addicting games where that mechanic is the entire experience, and they don't even have unique scenes for special characters. What doesn't get into my brain is that we play as a group of sorta anti-hero rebels trying to free the city from the grasp of a fucked up corporation, while also being equally as fucked up. Like, if you're trying to save the city from getting nuked by bombing most of the buildings, what are you even saving? If the point of their group was to take control of the city I wouldn't mind it, but they seem more like an edgy version of Jet Set Radio if anything, trying to bring art back into a plastic corpo-filled wasteland. Good music tho. EDIT: Oh yeah, and the combat animations are OUTSTANDING! Like, forget the Visual Novel landscape, this is amongst the best 2D sprite animations in any RPG I've seen. No ragdoll/marionettes, no pre-render stuff, all frames are hand-drawn and HD.

[@yurineri2227]

- Wow, the art style looks great, I wonder how it is .... .... ಠ_ಠ oh, there is a brothel gameplay, looks like I am gonna pass on this one

[@jonfitzpatrick9942]

This game does pimpin' wrong. Any woman willing to get on her back to help her man make money is an A+. Period. And, from experience, if a customer claims they have "special interests" and doesn't mention getinng railed with a strap-on in the same sentence, they're into kids and should just get beat up.
