CityBeat: The Sorority Shuffle

As much as I love games from this studio, I can't recommend this one due to both gameplay (give-me-exact-command quest) and art (not much of it and it's not as good as in the other games). Better play Jerry Wanker / Metropolis / PLT / Yes, Master

Good but short text based visual novel. For me the fact that you need to control protagonist only with text commands is more tedious than fun. This reminds me of previous era of games but now it's not actual and attractive. I'm here mostly for the original arts of this studio. They are good. Plus I want to 100% all their games. So recommend it only if you get along with the text-input based control system. PS: forgot to tell that the game was previously broken and wasn't launched with any available workarounds. Recently developer reached out in discussion and fixed the Windows build. So now you could also try it if you had issues with it before.

The artist is so good. Story is ok, the gameplay / UI is rather old, but there's a good guide if you need help finding most things. The dev has better games, but I think this is still a recommendation.

There is one mistake in Walkthrough.pdf that was found in the game's folder: After following Debra into the women's locker room, repeat "take pictures" 3 times. The correct move is: to repeat 4 times.

Fun little text based game with some decent hentai images.

[quote][b]CityBeat: The Sorority Shuffle[/b] — I added this game to my library for two reasons: I enjoy the art in other titles by this dev, and it’s free.[/quote] I was a bit surprised by the gameplay — haven’t seen something like this since [i]Sex Vixens from Space[/i]. That’s a bold and nostalgic choice, though I’m sure it’ll appeal only to a tiny niche of players… most of whom probably aren’t with us anymore. Also: typing with one hand isn’t the most convenient way to play. I can't outright not recommend it — it's a unique oddity and, at worst, a quirky throwback to the early days of adult gaming. But it’s far more primitive than [i]Vixens from Space[/i] or [i]Softporn Adventure[/i]: there’s no real narrative branching and not much of a world to explore. [quote]All in all, a decent piece of fossilized nostalgia — fun as a free curiosity or a hands-on artifact of game history for the young and curious.[/quote]
