Immoral-Bathhouse

The game is a solid 6/10. Visual style and art is very good. Animated scenes are good. But the gameplay is mediocre and there is too little of full screen scenes. The top down, small sex scenes aren't really exiting and money grind becomes boring fast. The game gives you multiple ways to grind money but loses it's plot somehow doing it. Collecting resources with a weird dice minigame and craft drugs to sell them is kinda out of place.

The art and animations are rather good, but there is too much waiting and grinding and such, and I say that as someone who cheated infinite money and reputation. Each girl only has 3 full screen animations and 6 small animations, the small animations are too small for me and don't excite me much, so although the full screen animations are good I ended up feeling this game needs between 2 and 3 times the amount of animation spread out within the same playtime. Also, the plot is very vanilla, aside from two, the girls are all single, of the two, one is married and the other is a prostitute, but you never see them having sex with anyone else. I know this is a controversial topic, but I feel this game would be better if the plot was more corrupt, as in, instead of romancing them, the mc would just corrupt them and turn them into prostitutes that work on the bathhouse, and the game could have several group sex scenes.

Art is alright. The small action art is. . . good enough. Varied between characters enough, but lacking zoom or a reason they are so small in our view. Gameplay. Gameplay starts out with a minor strength in management, but really doesn't expand during it. Try to throw people in, and by late game almost everyone needs private rooms. There is no real reason to invest in lower tier rooms, so just upgrade everything into Royal Suite's when you can. Upgrading is barely consequential, and for the first week you are going to be reputation starved. Once you unlock lv 2, cash is going to be your big stopping point. And not for individual room upgrades, but for purchasing reputation levels 3/4/5. Luckily you get the ability to craft potions. And by luckily, I mean you'll be praying RNG favors you. I had the minigame unlock by the 6th. It took me until the 24th to collect 7 of every ingredient. Medusa Grass, from the second zone. And all you do is roll dice and pray things get done faster. You'll gain your biggest cash infusions from crafting, but it is also just a waste of time getting to it. Moving back to the day to day grind, characters only have unique bathing schedules. Moving through a characters story can introduce some small additions, but nothing is changed on their base schedules. For every character not Mika or Kanae, this means you have to unlock them by getting a certain reputation and number of private rooms. This is not hard, and the final character just requires 3rd level. The real problem is you need the character to masturbate to a porno rental. I unlocked Kasumi before day 7, it took me nearly 20 days for her to both show up and then masturbate in a room. In two days after that, I maxed her affection. Cash is only a limiting factor to game completion because of how absurd 10,000,000 debt is. Writing is . . . interesting. Relaxxx is almost always spelled like that. Character Vernacular is definitely a choice. The MC tries to be a scumbag but isn't that bad. . . despite how he goes around and getting everyone not Mika or Kanae. Corruption is less a theme for the few characters that might make sense. MC will barge into homes and sell pornos of the girls (and you are required to sell some porn if you want access to two characters endings), but crumbles if a woman cries. Everyone else privately begs to be taken before he attacks the first time. His father is trying to atone for his sins, Diego is a Yakuza boss trying to get the MC on the right path. . . but there is no decision being made. His interactions with the women in his life generally start from a negative event. It just reads poorly. TL;DR; MC is a bit of a bastard with a heart of gold by the end of the game. Gameplay is decent but a few rng grinds before jumping into a gold grind to finish it off as the final bit stagnates.

Just finished the game (with a little help from Cheat Engine). I'll split the review in two, focusing on the two things that are most important to me (and I think to everyone). I) ART The art is really well done. The animated sex scenes are really good and there are quite a few of them (three per heroine, and there are plenty of heroines), and there are some pixel animations which, however, are nowhere near the level of other games in the same genre. As for the sex scenes, the only flaw I'd say is that they're a bit short and that there's no threesome or more. Overall, I'd give the art 4 out of 5 stars. II) GAMEPLAY Here we come to the REALLY sore point of the game; as I said, I finished it thanks to Cheat Engine. The fact is, while it's true that once you get to the last level of the SPA you make tons of money, getting to that point is pure hell. Or, the minigame to get medicine ingredients is a complete pain in the ass, and to top it all off, there are 500000 gifts to give to the heroines to increase their affection. Seriously, if I hadn't used CE, I would have definitely givupped and waited for a full save, so I'd say it's a 2 out of 5! As a whole I'll give it a total of 4 stars because I really liked the animated scenes, but take it as if it were a 3 and a half!

Even if we ignore the various bugs in this demo, the game does not look promising. Art appears to be bog standard hentAI with no touch ups; you can easily find weird hands & such, won't go into it because AI art is a dead horse. Character designs are uninspired, and while the chibi art for non-story sex scenes is okay, it lacks detail and is uninteresting The story is lacking: there's no clear progression, no character intros; so you get characters acting close w/o any rhyme or reason, I'm going to chalk that you can have sex with girls while not having the actual photos to blackmail them in your possession as a demo bug, and you can't interact with characters at all beyond static interactions like shop / sex scene once unlocked, besides story events (whose trigger conditions are hidden & automatic). Gameplay wise it's very mid, the main minigame is just"throw customers into rooms ASAP" with no thought or strategy required, especially since the public baths are bugged to often turn the customer away. More room and/or customer variety would be needed to make this actually worth caring about, with the current game mechanics. Furthermore, you're given 100,000 money & fame at the start, which completely ruins bathhouse progression (hopefully it's just a demo thing... right?) (it's gotta be, since max fame is 99,999... right?) The minigames are not any better, the mountain path minigame is literally just clicking a button and waiting... with alchemy just being automatic crafting. Stamina management is trivial with an inventory of spaghetti.

i was waiting for a game like this, really good i hope the release date isnt too distant, i cant wait to play it. i think there are an enormous potential in this! absolutly worth to play and i hope to see more character and more animation 2dcg
