Velura: The Forbidden Game

For what is effectively a demo this leaves me very excited. I love the art style and the themes. Super excited to see where this goes and will adjust the score and my review as things change. Good work dev!

As someone a bit turned off by the adult pregnancies and general weirdness of Coffee I find this right up my alley. Pixel artstyle is great. (I especially like how there are some subtle differences in the body types of the main cast.) I think the options of having the story told by characters sitting around the game board or going inside the world of Veluria is interesting. My only reasons it is 4/5 is this early build doesn't have a lot of content and something about the way the game conveys depth makes walking through sideways facing doorways way too challenging.

Like the concept enough to give it 5 stars, I like that this is basically NSFW Jumanji and that if they want to make sure they aren't physically affected by the game, they have to keep playing....but I'm also interested in the prospect of the MC having to choose to participate every time it's time to play the game, could you make that happen please? Anyways, hope this game gets enough updates to keep the 5 stars.

will the game provide with cum inflation and other content at future? The art style for game is really great, wish those type were exist more often, other than that its great game. I hope its wont get discontined tho.

There's no gameplay here its just talking heads, the game is very much just a very short teaser and then its gameplay consists of: go here, do this talk to this person etc. Its very much a direct clone of Coffee Extra: Ukuzala complete with its board game, 4 female protagonists and even background setting. I'm gonna give it the benefit of the doubt here and I do think it has potential to be great given how many artists who outright steal ideas end up making good stuff (the background lore writing and general premise is actually decent). That being said, but this isn't worth checking out, at least not right now as a v0.0.1 (Build time stamping this in case any erotic game archeologists run across this review in the future and its been updated.)

Generally it's quite promissing. Idea itself is very interesting. As for first version that is very good. It right now shows direction that dev wants to take, and represents it very well. Although If I were the dev I would now check patreon rules, and move to subscribe star or smth..... For now, there are two main things that are bothering me. How linear the story will be? If it will be just one scriptted story, it can be quite hard for one dev to complete. Music does not fit the in fact grim situation that grils are in. There is happy music on the one hand and sobbing characters on the other, it does not fit that well. I really enjoy preg./cumflation content so i will watch this very closely. For now It's very promising

Visual novel masquerading as a game at this point. I'm actually interested in the over plot, but there is no game here. You have inventory slots, but never use them. You move around, but can only go from point A to the next scheduled plot point. Its only an ad for their patreon, I think, but lacking any sort of meaningful "Game", and the engine NOT being conducive to a VN format, I would pass.

The experience is plagued by highly repetitive dialogue that loops endlessly, animation cycles that are persistently reused with little variation, and redundant walking segments that pad out the runtime unnecessarily.

Rev @ Velura: The Forbidden Game [v0.0.1] Art's fine for a style, but animations (particularly the squad walking) seem less fap and more Monty Python Silly Walk. Writing is just ok. Scenario's not the newest nor oldest and moment-to-moment fluency is fine, but the system seems to stutter and repeat itself sometimes. My main reason for a less-than-stellar scoring is here too: I see the tags and get that this is horror, but The dialog delights on dwelling on pain and trauma and that's not what I'm here for in a porn game. It's squicky, and that makes it doubly insulting since I am here for the other tags. Also the horror-horror-horror-oh nevermind we'll just hide it under a sweater is both a tonal twitch and a facepalm moment of derpy movie teen logic. Porn was scant as a 0.1 release, and what I saw didn't set my jimmies alight. 'Put a baby in her' has reached a new low 'bruh' level. Do hope this gets less linear, and/or the characters can some enjoyment out of the porny situations beyond the inevitable Insecure One Goes Crazy And Switches Teams betrayal trope. TLDR: Meh enough to check back in, too meh to be excited about it.

This is a pretty good start, very similar to coffee story: ukuzala. Wasn't expecting the jumanji aspect to actually be more like DnD, little weird to have everyone standing around a table while the characters mostly just talk about the DnD world in dialogue. Feels like it'd make more sense to actually visualize or transport the protagonists into the board game instead of having them stand around and react purely in dialogue. Not sure about the art, it feels like a rough cartoonish caricature of unnie's art (coffee story). Ran into a couple bugs where cutscenes would happen out of bounds, and characters would be standing in walls or I'd get stuck out of bounds. Not sure how I feel about the theme of the veluran stuff, something about a big red demon forcing a smaller red demon spawn into one of the protagonists' womb feels pretty dark. Just playing through the story in 0.0.1, it starts off strong with a LOT of pain and sorrow.

Great game. Love the themes on pregnancy and look forward to future updates. Similar the CoffeeUkulaz but the art is much nicer here. Hope the developer keeps working on and updating the game. Look forward to what this game looks like in a several patches.
