At glance Overall rating: C Length: Due to specific of the game you can actually complete it under 10 minutes if you want, but also "play" for 2-4h if you want unlock it to the furthest + Very simple to learn, no difficulty level (you can exploit save/load mechanics here if you want) and packed with content... - ...as simple as boring it gets quickly Game as game Story: 5.5/10 - literally nothing here, but thats not so bad, drags you quick to the things you want Gameplay: 3/10 - spot the difference exit one way, do not spot exit other way - simple as that, yet gets kinda boring after few minutes Graphics: 7.5/10 - location itself is quite detailed (for a reason, otherwise the game would be too easy by itself), artstyle is good and animated Sound: 6/10 - exists (mainly during scenes), not bad, yet nothing special here though H-content Quality: 8.5/10 - you have live 2D that is quite nice, can be also turned off for a static images (but quality remains the same which is not that great when its not moving...), amount of text is just right, very nice stuff overally Quantity: 7.5/10 - about 30 of scenes, most of them are progression paths, where you unlock more and more intensive activities, also some restrains scenes. Nothing special here, but keeps the level H-Gameplay: 5/10 - I mean it is very VERY repititive, after you gain about half of the scenes, as you only go through the map and exit at point A or B (either the way game wants you to to progress, or opposite, if you want to get meat ). Simplicity is nice, but this one is a bit too far... Summary I would say that it is very solid 3 star product, neither close to 2 or 4 stars - just visibly above generic ones, but not close to compete with decent, bigger works. Delivers some decent live 2D CGs in simple form, if you count it as the game itself... well, not tragic, but nothing special.
Scene review: I'd give the art style and animation quality 5 stars, especially given the bondage (just about every scene) and tentacles (just 1 scene). But the animations are far too short and there are far too few of them. There are like 8 scenes. Each scene is separated into 5 parts with like 4 animation loops each. That sounds like a lot, but each animation loop is just like 1-2 seconds, and most of the 5 parts are almost identical, with minor variation, e.g. a toy going into a different hole. These are padded out with mediocre dialogue.
A short game which can be finished within an hour. Despite having pink-hair girl as MC, I cannot give the game more than 3 stars. Spoiler: Pros, mehs, and cons IMO Pros -Pink hair girl, which I like -If you've played Exit 8 before, then this game is easy to understand. -The lore for anomalies is good to read. Mehs -Sex scenes are meh. Some are good but most of them are meh. (Maybe because it's AI-generated?) -There is no recollection for endings. For example, I tried clearing the game virgin-route and only got the "normal ending scene" once. Is it impliued that the game has non-normal ending or something? -I don't see the point of having Virgin/Non-virgin status and adjuster. The sex scene does not have deflowering/blood from hymen scene, then why bother about the FMC's virginity? Cons -I hate the lose screen which have a jump-scare ghost hand grabbing you . It makes the game unnecessary scary. The same is true for some of the anomalies. -Save-scum destroys the element of sur[rise, mistake, and learning. -The purification mode is stupid IMO. It just shows you all of the anomalies developers put in the game. I think I do clear all 8 streets, including misses, and didn't find all 30 of them in the main game. And what's the reward for it? All of the anomalies solution and that's it! You mean I have to spend extra 30 mins for only this much? Come on!
Overall 3.5/5. It's an RPGM Exit 8 Parody but with defeat rape, humiliation, or molestation scenes. The scenes were very nice, animated and voiced, but without a story, and the quick replayability nature of the game, it felt more like a CG collector. 10 minute game if you're fast, closer to an hour if you want to 100%, and 0 minutes if you just want the H-scenes. Story : Non-existent. I was expecting some more story or more depth, but it's really just Exit 8, and ends after getting 8 matches correct (with an epilogue that has QTE elements). Gameplay : As the other reviewer said, you can save-scum to win. You can also unlock all the scenes anytime. It's an interesting concept but I just wish there are was more to this. Fappable : Scenes are very good if you're into humiliation, tentacle, bdsm, molestation, and rape. There's several variations, but also very surface level because you don't really connect with the character at all. I played this game and I already forgot the main character's name (Yes, her name is in the title, my point still stands).
TLDR; Unique experience, but nothing to really recommend spending your time on here. This is an Erotic Exit 8 like memory game (You observe a scene once and determine whether something changed when you pass through it again later). It's a unique game, never thought I'd see this genre in RPGM or as an ero game but here it is. You run through the street, look at the scene and go up if something changed and right if something didn't. Some things are EXTREMELY obvious, others not (Especially if you don't know Japanese like me, if you do play this, look at the lighting instead it'll highlight an anomaly if there is one). You get erotic scenes for getting things wrong and game gives no feedback if you fail a street, so you don't know what to look out for next time. At the end of the game there are QTE events.... These were really lackluster and had no real purpose, so I turned them off immediately after the first one. Now, problems occur here. First, it's an RPGM game, with Save enabled so you can save scum this easily. Second, I had my first play through crash. I hadn't saved at all. I found out it autosaves at the start of every street... But I couldn't progress, the save had corrupted or something and I couldn't leave. This is when I started save every street, not to complete the game, but to make sure I could actually play. The final portion of the game has you purifying the anomalies... Which you can just walk up and interact with everything until you find one. I also have a problem with the erotic scenes only rewarding failure, and they aren't amazing either even if the situations themselves would usually be my kinks. Pretty stiffly animated, and the VA feels... Off somehow. Anyway. 3 star, only because "Average" is hard to judge if it's the only one of its kind I've played. I'd probably give it a 2 if I had something to compare it to. Definitely a unique experience. Also, you can unlock the ero scenes using a lever in the recollection room (Exit to the left of the street)
