This is not a bad game, but what it is, is another example of hopeful idiots review inflating it to near perfection here on F95zone.

Divine Dawn tries to rewrite the Japanese "Monster Girl" formula by westernising it with tropes and elements that would cater more to the western audience. This happens by overlaying literally a Dungeons and Dragons like atmosphere to both the story and gameplay. Surprisingly this is done to a sufficient extent. I say only sufficiently though because it is unfortunately not perfect at all.

The first quarter of the game starts off really nice. The writing here is actually excellent. However it loses momentum rather quickly as it becomes apparent the dev for some reason tries really hard to make the game more into a book than a hentai/porn interactive novel. Thanks to this the players are greeted with walls of text describing the story which takes place which after the first quarter is no longer trying to follow to the original premise and turns into your average, off the shelf fantasy novel. While I like that there is no strict insistence on the hentai/porn portion it is also a bit of an identity crisis since the first bits of the story were nothing like the later parts. The characters however are all backed by their respective storylines, they never feel like your average generic monster girl. Which is nice for a change.

What this game also suffers from however like all "Monster Girl" type games do for some odd reason is that they use like twenty different artists for their artwork. The problem with this is that you get huge mismatches between different illustrations in both quality and style. I do not understand why can't none of you devs pay a SINGLE artist to draw all your characters, why this has to be the case every time. The "support as many artists as possible" argument here is pure garbage. Game development isn't charity but product delivery. Using 20 different art styles for your assets does not help improving your product quality. On the contrary, it makes it worse.

While the game is not that old it has been around for at least 2 or 3 years now and considering how much content you will find in the current version which would be 0.30 as of writing this it is also apparent we are looking at a really slow pace of development. Meaning the project is most likely a part time activity for the dev. While this is not something that take away from the value of the game it is something to keep in mind for those considering to support the development.

Now, what I can definitely praise in the game would be the combat. Clearly a lot of though went into it and it has surprising depth with near infinite specialization options. While there is a learning curve to it, once you get the hang of it it is nice. Also something new for a change considering the other turn based alternatives in this genre.

TLDR.: In conclusion, Divine Dawn is a decent little game with good combat, memorable characters but inconsistent artwork and a bit of an identity crisis on the side too.

Great art, hot milfs and a genuinely fun gameplay loop! I really liked the simple strategy of trying to get all the cg's in the first half of the game. The only issue is that the game is a little short.

Missed chance at a great game.

This is not as advertised final game but a tech demo. It is essentially a very powerful but janky and buggy character creator, with very frustrating and poorly executed punching/fighting game combat. With few H scenes, that although oddly customizable and good leaves a lot to be desired.

The sad thing is if it was the same exact game, but there was 20x more H scene content it would have been great. Or even some linear progression like a story or any content. As it stands its only a fun couple of minutes.

I dont want to say much due to spoilers and all.

But fuck you for making me cry like a little bitch I love you <3

If you are reading this review thinking of trying this game. Please do, I have never connected with characters so strongly

What if your mom was a gullible version of Yennefer of Vengerberg?

Don't be fooled by the 1.0 version, this is an abandoned title. The gem dev says as much in the actual game, and for that, at least they're being honest.

And before some moderator/admin gets butt hurt and tries to slap me with the "hey, no mentioning other games in your review!" crap, the dev himself says this is inspired by My Oblivious Milf, so deal with it. I'm going to talk about the differences.

Anyways, this has the fan charm of someone who likes M.O.M. but burnt themselves out on the concept real fast. The milf here is very much just Yennefer from the Witcher, so it was a little hard to break away from seeing her as that, would have been real funny if your father was modeled to look like Geralt or something, but he is left as a faceless NPC.

Some of the biggest events from M.O.M. are here too, the sleeping bathtub scene, the Netflix and Chill, the breakfast mischief, etc. However they just feel like they're missing something, a little of the charm that M.O.M. has, but makes up for it by having a 3D model that can be posed to match the scenarios unlike M.O.M. which relies upon IRL porn scenes which are far and few between.

All said as a fan of M.O.M. myself and apparently, according to the dev for M.O.M. the inspiration for that game with my own captioned series, I found this to be good for a quick fap but too short to be worth the download unless you're a real fan of either oblivious sex or M.O.M.

The biggest fault was that the father, who you can feminize in M.O.M. to the point of being fuckable, has zero role here besides being a cockblock at times. So for that, it drops a star to simply be average for me.

Story 2/5
I could proberly have enjoyed this story alot more if you had any choices in what matters, i just turely hate when LIs are forced its will never be a harem that way, a harem is something you as the player build not something forced, by forcing everything it just becomes a mindless fuckfest game and thats just so damn boring and pointless, also means game is only about porn and story comes last and to me story is more importen then the sex aspect, if it wasent i would just hit a porn site and watch hentai/anime.

It starts with MC having a deamon in hes home that he apprently captured? and he then forces her to be hes sex slave? so MC is as evil as the deamon proberly even more so.
MC then has to seduce and fuck as many girls as possible, which is really just an overused plot seen a million times over already.

Virgin scenes are shit as well, no blood no pain just meh.

Girls 3/5
They look ok and there is a decent diversity in builds.

Animations 4/5
Some are average but the custom ones are good so ill be nice and put it above average on this one.

Music 2/5
Standard background tunes, nothing special and gets annoying at some point.

Choices 0/5
Its pretty the standard sandbox shit trying to hide that its really a kinetic story, you follow the set questline and the only freedom you have is which order to do them in.

Sandbox 2/5
Its each enough to get around but it feels pretty pointless really and the grind and mini games are really shitty but atleast you can turn mini games off.

Wonderful art and storyline, very erotic and fappable material. Still in developement, It has some of the most sexy scenes I have ever seen in a game like that, especially the dungeons and dragons ones and the easter one

This is one of the best futa ntr games I played so far while the game is still early in development so far it has tremendous potential depending on the decisions the dev chooses anyways I will list every aspect a give a little bit of my opinion in this mini review.

Story so far the story is about a wife and husband who get contracted by rich people to deliver flowers from their business and while doing that they make friends with new people and that's how the story unfolds, its not anything that will blow your mind but the aspect that I love the most about the story is that for a NTR game its on the light hearted side meaning that yes while there is fun ntr fun the game isn't super dark or depressing and to be honest that's very refreshing to see way too many NTR games are too depressing that this one stands out I love that about it and hope it stays this way and doesnt go super depressing.

The Characters first I will talk about their physical appearance and then about their personalities ok so first physically I love how each of them look all the women are very feminine and curvy I love that they have nice big boobs, big asses and the 1 futa that has been revealed is well endowed as someone who prefers curvy women I am very happy I think that too many futa games tend to go for the more skinny women look which I don't personally like or give the futas small cocks which I despise as well I think they all look perfect at the moment.

Personality wise there are all different types from cool,shy, horny, grumpy or happy go lucky I think every character feels different and the shyness of Aki the MC is very cute.

Corruption so far the pacing of the corruption has been perfect not too slow and not too fast I personally think that the dev is on the right track I also love that the characters don't force themselves on the MC too much its more like the MC is very attracted to the current futa.

Renders its anime style and think they look very good.

Engine RPGM Maker wanted to make a point for this one because I personally think that rpg maker works very well for NTR games going around exploring and finding events is very fun and works well with ntr games.

Things that could Improve:
Like I said in the beginning the game is still early in development I think that the game is going in the right direction but some things do need some work.

1. The game needs more futas this is something that me and many others agree on that my reasoning is that in the beginning the game gives you a bit of lore and world building and it states that 10% of the population are futas so it is very likely that other horny futas exist in the world other then Nichole and also the most important factor is that having multiple futas to corrupt Aki keeps things fresh and less repetitive, a lot of futa games fall in to this mistake they only make one futa for the entire game and by half of the game it starts to get boring seeing the same futa having sex with just different girls and the same sex positions that why I think its super important that more futas get added in to the game a lot of the other characters in the game currently are other females the only one we still don't know is the masked owner so if she is also a futa that could spice things up.

2. I would love to see the husband see his wife getting corrupted or changing maybe catch her in some scenes doing something naughty I think that at the moment he hasn't had much to do in the game but then again its still early on.

3 Keep the pacing as it is meaning don't make it too fast but also don't make it too slow blue balling I think that so far its perfect because either extreme is bad making it too fast makes it feel rushed and looses the impact and making it too slow feels like a slog and blue balls the player so I say keep it at some medium pace like it is going to far.

4 This one is similar to my first point but the game needs more interactions with other characters relevant to the story in general or introduce a bit more, I say this because so far the whole game feels like its mostly just the wife, husband and Nichole and her Maid while we where introduced to the owners of the house the masked lady we have had no interaction almost with them same with the bartender of the casino and also like I pointed out earlier needs more futas in general we have had many women show up and husband and male owner are both males but in terms of futa only Nichole we seen so the game like I said before needs more futas in that department.

5. This one is more a personal one than anything futa on futa scenes would be awesome in the game for those who like it.

Conclusion Holdcraft Chronicles is the start of an amazing light hearted NTR game that any ntr futa fan can enjoy the game is still early in development but what it has to show is very good it is a diamond in the rough that will determine if it stays as good through development depending on the decision the developer takes anyways if I had to number score the game I would give it a 4.5/ 5 but since the site doesnt allow half's I will mark it as 5 with some added stuff and development I think it can reach perfection and will keep updating this review as it goes

For a first release It's a very well put together game, and unlike other unreal engine games it also runs pretty great on my computer. It also has a pretty interesing concept and I have never seen a game like this. I'm definetly looking forward to playing the full version.

great game finder.................................................................................................................................................................................................

good renders over all
good story and characters
something for everyone.(femdom scenes are great and avoidable if its not what u like, normal sex scenes are awsome too)
Slow but regular dev updates on patreon
all in all great game with much potentiel

0.9
A good game, very beautiful animations, story is ok (but has a lot of potential).
I hope the dev introduces more girls, events and new places (gym, romano and others), and prolongs the story as much as he wants.
The game is incredible, keep up the good work.

Great complete complete game, mechanics don't get obnoxious, progression is good, solid incest narrative, lovely pixel art with hot MILF character designs, and a lot of replayability. Only negatives being the dialogue can be a bit disjointed at times: having the MC act like and inexperienced horny bastard one second to calling the woman a slut and talking about owning her in the next second; some of the story sex-scenes not having non-story pixel equivalates.

+ Narrative
+ Character designs
+ Minigames
+ Game Length
+ Replayability (New game + & endings)
+ Pixel Art animations
- Some disjointed dialogue
- Story specific sex-scenes non-replayable until post game

So for a first release/ proof of concept, its put together really well. As you would expect, the game as it stands is just a simple test of some of the core features, but its surprisingly bug free, and doesn't eat a gross amount of GPU like some other early stuff does. If youre into the kink this offers, definitely keep an eye on it.

Please add more or revisit the game, has a good variety of content and does ntr/sharing well. I like the option to choose who fucks or impregnates the girls too. The dating sim aspect is pretty good as well. Giving the game 5 stars instead of 4 because it is one of my favourites of the genre despite it lacking a bit in terms of animation but that's more of a nitpick.

Quality wise this game should be a 2, if not a 1. Everything is bad. Models are bad, plain and unispired. Location are more of the same assets, dialogs are lame, sex scenes are plain, and boring... Like "noi i fuck you" "oh my god he is fucking me. Ah. Ah." and there is a 4 frames cycling gif of the most mechanical fuck ever seen with the girl with a totally neutral face looking in a random direction with a colossal lack on interest. Music is good but totally in the way and out of place.

For the rest, it's a clear rip off of the most famoust campus setting game on this site and of the most infamous basker setting game on this site.

So, why 3 stars? I don't know. I feel a lot of good will in this project. Like 'i wasen't that good but i tryed my best', so an extra star for the effort.

Only 2 chapters in and already can confidently say this is fucking bars. The art is very beautiful and original, and the story is pretty great, but when you get to the end of Chapter 2 it goes insane. I am ecstatically awaiting for the continuation of this game.

it's very funny and hot game with a lot of scenes very cool and nice! Great chara design and nice story for this type of game! I liked a lot the point and click not very difficult but with a nice challenge to continue the story! I'm very excited about new update. I loved the style ^^

Story 1/5
Story had potential, but i couldent get past MCs childish mindset, it feels like hes a 12 year old which is seeing a girl for the first time, none stop thinking about fucking, tits, asses and how hot they all are, no matter if its the must ugly shit in the mind of a player, shit like that should be left for players and not be shown in MCs thought process at all, it only make MC feel like horney kid with a one track mind and you cant really put your self in hes shoes unless your just as much of a pervert as he is and i guess it goes without saying that MC gets boners from absolutly nothing which not even a kid would get.

Also tierd of forced fetishes, so many devs think everyone loves big tits so they shove them in your face at much as possible, i for one hate them and dont want to watch the shit but game gives you no choice, it also feels a bit idiotic when MC seems to be in love with everyone....no one would have been the right choice so players can deside for them selfs and it also feels idiotic reading MC lusting like crazy for someone that you then turn down the second you have the chance for it........but in this game you proberly wont be allow to turn down much since its mostly just kinetic and forced.

Then game forces you to jerk off yet another thing i couldent care less about watching....MC also has an idiotic dick that are just way to big to make any sense, never understod why make it like that it feels plain stupid.

Next you can turn down a girl but then it forces another girl on you, i mean i liked the girl but some might not and i personaly always found it idiotic to force MC into sex or relationships instend of giving a choice.
And to make it go way past crazy, the girl forced on you then calls the one you just turned down and your forced to fuck her to....come on this is such a poor writting/story.

Game will be a mindless fuckfest with no controle what so ever, why it has a list where you can see girls and if your on their path or not i have no fucking clue, theres 0 relationship build up and girl after girl is forced on you, so there is no relationship system what so ever.

There are a few things i like but it cant pull the game up enough to make it fun or playable after all the shit in the start.
But the options to turn on/off lesbian and anal is a nice touch and wish more would make use of that.

Virgin scenes are also shit, i mean when a girl prepare her self by using dildos that virgin vibe goes out the window and it results in a standard sex scene like any other, no blood and barely any pain its lazzyness and might as well not make anyone a virgin if you dont put in the effort to make it good, then its much better not making them virgins to start with.

Girls 4/5
It also has some nice looking girls and by the looks of it a pretty decent diversity in builds as well.

Animations 0/5
Game isent animated which is a bit annoying, good looking girls but it just falls flat seeing nothing but picture to picture stuff, it just dosent do anything for me.

Music 4/5
I would say its good music and above average.

Choices 0/5
Forced LIs in a game where you should have the option to close paths feels idiotic, no matter if i like or hate the girls being forced on MC i simply just arent into forced sex or relationships in any way and to force a girl on you 2 mins after you turn her down? i mean what the fuck....

Game had potential and story could have been good but there so just to much that makes no sense and forcing shit on player is just a no go, all that does is making the game kinetic and should tag it as such.

superb image quality and animation.
Most of the time you have to understand what to do depending on the dialogue and the MC's intuitions.
There are 3 main girls available for various tastes and the ability to skip chapter in case you get stuck
It's a very slow game but it's worth it!
