Introduction:
This dev made another game very similar to this one, Henteria 2 (the storylines are not connected) so I'll be reusing parts of my previous review and comparing the 2 games when appropriate. With that being said, here we go.
Graphics/Art: 4/5
I'm taking into account that this is a RPGM game naturally (which is an engine I'm not particularly fond of), so I wasn't expecting actual art. The game's locations are pretty and well-crafted, the RPGM assets are used well, just like the previous game, however I must say that the new character portraits are pretty ugly, in H2 (that's how I will refer to the previous game going forward to save time) they were way better. A bit disappointing tbh, it shouldn't be too hard to get 4 nice-looking little pictures for the main characters.
Music/Sounds: 5/5
About the sound effects first: they're quite basic but used perfectly. Do not underestimate the importance of sound effects in a NTR game: because you dont "see" what's happening most of the time (or at least you character cannot) you rely on them a lot, and a muffled moan or a wet sound at exactly the right moment can be crucial. The volume is important too: just loud enough to be heard, to make the character wonder what's happening, but not the same volume as if you were actually there. This game nails all of those aspects imo.
And this game builds upon the already great sounds in H2 and makes it even better. Might seem insignificant to you, but for example there's that scene in the tavern at one point where a character opens the door to a room while he walks out of it (and some other people are fucking there) and I'm sure another game would've just left it as is. But here you can actually hear the sound getting clear for a split second, for that tiny moment the door is open, and then it gets muffled again. That's some real dedication and attention to detail there, and it isn't lost on me.
The music is great too. Some tracks are from H2, others are new and they're really nice. Great work overall
Gameplay/UI: 5/5
There's nothing extraordinary about the gameplay of this game, but once again we have to take into account the context of RPGM (did I already mention how much I hate that engine?) and here the game stands out because unlike most other RPGM titles this game understands that the whole leveling/combat/inventory aspect of RPGM is extremely fucking boring and it makes the wise decision to get rid of it entirely. I truly do think this is the right formula to make RPGM fun and enjoyable, frankly it made me reconsider my opinion about RPGM which is something I thought would never happen.
And here once again the game builds upon the very good foundation of H2 and makes it even better. One of my complaints about H2 was that you didn't get any dialogue choices at all and you only chose the ending at the very end of the game. Well now that's fixed, because this game does bring dialogue choices that also impact the ending which is the better way to do things imo.
It also adds those little indicators in the MC room that show you if a scene is currently happening with one of the characters without actually telling you the location (unless you ask it to) which is a very nice NTR-themed gameplay element, I definitely welcome that.
And this game also has its own card minigame, I won't play it because frankly it bores me and I don't care, but I appreciate the effort that went into making it, I didn't even know you could do shit like that in RPGM.
Story/Writing: 3/5
It was almost flawless so far, well just like in the H2 review this is where things will sour. I usually don't do this but here I will actually separate my review into multiple subsections ( 1 for each character) and give a separate grade for each, because the difference in quality between them is just too great.
Main story: 5/5
Not much to say here because I don't want to spoil anything at all. The main story was great in H2, just as great in this game. Not some tolkien level shit, but more than enough for a sex game.
"Mom" character: 5/5
A pretty basic setup (on the surface at least, we'll probably get more information later in the main story) and yet it works great. The pacing is right, the female character's transformation is noticeable but not over-the-top and it feels pretty natural. Remains to be seen what this will look like in the final version of the game of course.
Princess character: 4/5
The whole thing about magic through sex (I won't get into specifics to avoid spoilers) feels a bit contrived and clearly is set up that way for the purposes of the main story, but I guess you can dismiss it as being part of a fantasy magical world anyway, so I guess that's not that big of a deal. The storyline itself is solid, good sex scenes too.
Sister character: 3/5
I'm not a fan of the female character and the male that seduces her having a preexisting relationship, especially here with the male's character's past and what that implies (I won't spoil, you'll see what I'm talking about when you play it).
The NTR feeling imo is more intense when it's the MC that had that preexisting relationship, and that was potentially leading up to something greater, and then the other character takes that away from MC, it adds that "unfair/evil" aspect to it which I think is key to achieve the proper NTR effect.
H2's story nailed that side of things imo. So in that sense the H2 "sister" storyline was stronger than this one.
Friend (lily) character: 0/5
What is this character even doing in the game? She's supposedly just a friend of MC, they never even had a relationship. Why should MC even care about what she does or who she has sex with? That's her private matter, this isn't NTR at all.
I've mentioned before that the strenght of the preexisting relationship between the characters is what makes good NTR, and this goes completely against that rule and predictably it falls flat. And taking a quick glance at the other reviews seems like I'm not the only one to think that.
I hope that the dev didn't add her in just to have an even number of female characters (4) because that would be a very silly reason and completely unnecessary. I'd much rather have 3 strong storylines and remove that 4th useless one.
Conclusion:
So as you can tell this game is far from perfect, however I've played quite a few NTR games on this site and I simply haven't found anything better. The main story is actually good while most other NTR games don't have one at all, the music is solid, the graphics are solid. The feeling that the game creates when you really get into it is simply delightful. So until I find something better I'll leave it at 5 stars, and I'm certainly looking forward to future updates.
