The Crimson Flower that Divides: Lunar Coupling

[h2]Review update:[/h2] Steam Achievements have been added! [b][u]Side Note:[/u][/b] The crimson flower that divides: Lunar coupling is a port version of a "remaster", which landed on the Switch not so long ago. The original game released for PC was more explicit and this version has been censored in more ways than one. It's really sad that the original content which made this game popular has been removed altogether. Instead of letting us, players, be able to choose if we want it to be patched with the +18 content or not as an option... Since that makes some of the scenes feel a bit off or like something is amiss... [h1]WARNINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:[/h1] [list] [*]Forced proximity [*]Kidnapping / forced marriage [*]Mental and physical abuse could often be (more) than implied depending on the routes you are navigating through [*]Depictions of death, mental instability and drug abuse [/list] [h1]Tomorrow is a hope. Never a promise…[/h1] The root has almost taken over the entire world, a disease that suddenly appeared turning the insides of women into a putrid state until there's nothing left...

I love this game!! I bought both Nintendo Switch version and PC steam version. The story's very great!! Dramatic and Romance stories. And wonderful voice actors that make your heart skips a beat. (Suren's voice is very sexy) Actually I've known this game for a long time that it's from the R18 game in original. But I cannot play the original game because it's all in Japanese. I want more DLC of this game, especially R18 patch is really need. You should release the R18 original version in English, too. I'll be the first one who buy it!!!

[h3] ABSOLUTE YES [/h3] God knows how many times I had replayed this game, I replayed over and over even if I just finished it yesterday, or just now. I just can't stop replaying it. This game is about Nasla is suffering from low birth rate becuz of the " ROT" which only highly affects women, those who got it will die. Therefore, there are very little women in Nasla, they went to Rus to kidnap women. And the story begins... [h3] ARRIVING IN NASLA [/h3] After only a few days being kidnapped in Nasla, even those women who strongly despised and protest against Nasla from doing so, they are slowly adpating to Nasla and falling in love with Nasla men. The MC, Nalla is extremely worried and wishing for the Rus king, Auli to quickly come and rescue them. A few weeks later, a Rus woman came to her and told her that she is getting married tomorrow with the guard that always gaurd the Nasla women, Nalla was quite stunned at her comment but congratulated her anyways. Her friend. Shala on the other hand despised Nasla the most and called her a traitor for marrying a Nasla man, and that she can't imagine her opening her legs to her enemies. Shalu was also upset that Nalla did not do …

I played for about 6 hours trying to find the content the game promised in its description, but it simply isn't there. Everything advertised as a core part of the experience—"Some scenes in the game contain flashy graphics, sexual abuse/implied non-consensual sexuality, drug use, suicide/self-harm, and violence"—is either misleading or completely absent. I bought the game based on what its website showed, and in the end, it was a total disappointment. I asked for a refund, but it was rejected because I exceeded the 2-hour mark, when in reality, I spent that time searching for something that never appeared. This isn't just a bad game: it's a product selling a false idea, and that's false advertising. I don't recommend it at all. If you buy it expecting what they promise, you'll be disappointed.

Heavily censored and gutted. Why even translate a game about women being kidnapped from their homes to be made into breeding stock if that entire aspect is removed? Shell of its original self. There's also the matter of achievements being borked and not unlocking, numerous typos being in the game, and having to endure a bunch of terrible rapey bad ends before unlocking the good ones, but the censorship got to me most.

So happy to have played this! I remember hearing about this otome probably around 10 years ago, but sadly i don't understand japanese so i had to be content with just reading some reviews that explain how the game goes. And despite 'certain' content being removed it is still enjoyable. >.< I felt my heart beating so much while playing. It's like i'm a teenager again. I played all the routes and i found them all very interesting! I think my favorite was Esta! I loved the devotion he had to Naala. Ruzi, Aran and Cef i also really liked. It's a bit interesting how the side routes was the ones that really shined for me :)
