To Trust an Incubus

This is one of those "I wish there were a "maybe" option for a review" games. I don't hate it entirely, and I can definitely see the potential: the concept and overall plot is very interesting (I enjoyed the world building and getting to find out more about the incubus as a species), and I like how depending on your choices, you can matchmake the characters with each other. It's fun getting to explore all those options. But even though it has a strong foundation, it fails to deliver fully in many aspects, which is such a shame because a fully voiced, English BL bara visual novel is extremely hard to come by, and why I was willing to keep playing the game in spite of its shortcomings. Those shortcomings are hard to ignore as you keep playing, however. The game definitely goes for a quantity-over-quality approach, which severely detracts from the overall experience. The writing feels unnatural and clunky, worsening the already somewhat amateurish voice acting which could've otherwise been forgiven. The art is well-drawn, but the scenes are so short you barely even have enough time to read a few sentences, and it's already over with. It feels rushed, with everything crammed togethe…

Artwork is good, and the CGs are more extended than in a lot of games. I was a bit disappointed at how quick it is to get through multiple scenarios with each of the characters. For the cost of this game, i expected at least a few days worth of gameplay. Unless you are trying to go for achievements, you will have this done in just a couple of hours. I recommend the game, but I do also recommend waiting for a great discount on it first, so it's worth the discounted money.

I hated everything about To Trust an Incubus. It has bad writing and annoying side characters who take up a major part of the story. While the characters at times are like nuanced, the writing simultaneously feels incredibly artificial and too fast paced at the same time. The branching structure is overly complicated, yet the narrative itself feels straightforward and repetitive across multiple routes. The dialogue is confusing, and you will get lost without a guide—which feels scummy, like they are selling guides on purpose. I totally hated playing their games. It is also far too expensive for the quality and amount of content it offers (even at a discount)

having a lot of fun w/this one it's one of my fav Y Press titles bought the guide and now I'm working my way through it only 3 hours in but also played the demo and knew I had to have it!

came for the goon stayed for the surprisingly interesting story and characters
