A surprising interesting game. I originally tried it to see how well the mechanic of being partially possessed by a demon was supposed to work and to see if a decent NSFW rpg was to be had here. To my surprise I ended up playing quite a bit as I got temporarily pulled into the fact it was just a decent rpg that happened to have a good few lewd elements. Some of the art was pretty good too, but the characters were so goofy with their interactions as times I was finding some situations more funny than anything. As people in other reviews noted, there is no quest log and no map. The quest log can be fixed by making your own notes in a text doc. The quests in the game don't really get that complex so noting down an objective and an idea of where is all you really need to do. Some quests are a tad hard to progress their questline as their isn't anything really there to tell you where you meet someone next, so you'll just have to progress in areas to find out. I also appreciated that the game doesn't try to lock you out of some stuff too harshly, so you can still try to recover from being a fickle person. Otherwise I just enjoyed the decent variety of builds, the constant rewards for ex…

very hard with no diff options

fun. wish there was a gallery

A bit rough around the edges in some places, definitely on the harder side, and a fair amount of quality of life would have been nice, but overall quite good considering it was the dev's first game. Lots of good scene variety, lots of content in general. I personally prefer the sequel gameplay wise, but the somewhat Pokemon x D&D battle style does work well here. In all, its good, but be prepared for it to not go easy on you at times.

Early review subject to change. TL;DR Buy on sale unless QOL is fixed. This game is actually pretty solid, but honestly not worth full price unless its on sale IMO. As plenty of other reviewers have noted, its lacking in QOL features in a way that makes it feel rather dated. There's no autosave option, no quest tracking, and the resolution looks weird on a modern 16:9 monitor. There's kind of a lot of quests and "surprise it's an OP enemy!" going on so the QOL would make a huge difference if implemented. But the hentai isn't decent, the premise is neat, and the RPG/monster battler gameplay is good. Not sure why the dev describes it as a hybrid metroidvania, it is a JRPG with dice for damage calc.
