Steam Prison

[h2] A 10/10 AWESOME GAME [/h2] At first it is a bit boring, but the games gets better later on when the heroine was sent to the depths. [h2] MOST FAVOURITE CHARACTER (in order) [/h2] [h3] Fin Euclase [/h3] Seriously, a very sweet and loyal boy, and I just want to keep him by my side all day. Thankfully there is a DLC for his own route. He is working as a police officer along with the heroine, both of them are a team. I pity him so much in each and every route. The heroine was framed for something that she did done and was sent to the depths, by their rules; [u] if one of the partner in their 2 man squad was no longer be able to work, the remaining partner, will be sent to the depths to work under the HOUNDS [/u]; therefore, her partner, Fin was also sent to the depths to be part of the HOUNDS. The heroine is very lucky to meet a sweet boy and a mother to take care of her, then later meet [b] Ulrik Ferrie [/b] who told her that she was offered an opportunity from [b] Eltcreed Valetine [/b] and will be able to go to the sanctaury district, and live a much better life there. However, if she rejects his offer, she will be able to meet [b] Adage [/b] who is a doctor in the depths…

If neutral was an option I'd select that. As an otome game I wouldn't recommend. As a dystopian choices-matter story game, then I might recommend. Maybe it's just advertised as the wrong genre? Pros: The art is pretty and it feels like they put a lot into the story. Cons: The good endings aren't very good/happy, the romance isn't very romantic, most of the story consists of events going from bad to worse, with 4 bad endings to each 1 lukewarm ending, and MC is pretty annoying tbh. A pet peeve I have is that the changes to the story from the choices aren't differences to reality corresponding to MC's actions. For example, if you choose one choice a character may run in to your rescue but if you choose another choice in the same option list then that character would be across town doing something totally unrelated. I'd categorize the game more as a dystopia through different perspectives than an otome.

I got it in a humble bundle and it was the most eye catching in the pack to me. I don't know what I was expecting but it definitely wasn't this. They make you bond with the so far best character? for ages and yet he's the only one extra paywalled in DLC. Everyone else so far is sketchy/questionable at best and downright horrific at worst. I'd like to see where the story goes but reading other reviews, looks like I'm going to be let down on ANY sort of resolution for the HUGE build up of how the MC even got put in the environment she's in. I don't foresee getting attached to any character because honestly they are ALL so, I don't know, demeaning so far. It sounds like the sexual harassment and literal assault only gets worse. Not really optimistic about any decent outcomes.

SOUL CONSUMPTION MACHINE, I WISH NOT TO ESCAPE THIS PRISON, I'M EXACTLY WHERE I WANT TO BE -- Edit, after I 100%-ed the game: Yes, I recommend this game to people who love lore, worldbuilding and collecting various outcomes. Every single ending in this game adds to the things we learn about the entire setting and its characters, so this has to be played as a whole for the best experience. Trust me, please. This has such a FUN worldbuild. I also recommend it to people who love all the classic otome game LI tropes. We got the tsundere, we got the yandere, we got the charmer diva, we got the stoic responsible guy, we got the IMMORTAL (always a peak one imo), we got the cynical sarcasm king. We got it all. We ALSO GOT some silly shippy dialogues between the LIs if that's what you're into (I sure am xD). I think this game nailed both the misery and the whimsy of its setting. It was great. No, I don't recommend it if you just look for romance and you don't care much about learning about the entire cast and story in a game in general. I also can't recommend it to people allergic to whimsy, if you cringe easily at characters in a dark setting being flawed, naive or attempting to make a…

I had stupidly high hopes for this. Gorgeous artwork, dystopian steampunk vibes, and the promise of romances sweet and dark alike. What's not to love? Unfortunately, the story. The premise as described was fascinating and I was very excited to buy and play it as it had gone on sale. However, the reality of the game is far less interesting. So, this may be one of those games that you have to play for a while before it gets interesting. It happens. But at 1.5 hours into the common route as a pretty fast reader, I can only say WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HECK? You hardly meet any of the love interests, predominantly spending your time with a character who's unromanceable due to paywall, doing nothing much in particular. Then you randomly meet your fiance for about two lines of dialogue for no reason -- speaking of, the whole "the government picks your mate thing" could have actually been interesting if it hadn't felt like a chucked in afterthought that has little to no bearing on the main plot which, ostensibly, is the murder mystery. Sachse could have been interesting if his "verbal abuse" did't feel so forced, overdone, and gratuitous, and that whole duel scenario where you protec…

yesyesyes very intresting story so far and i wanna complete it!!!!!!
