Hero in the Pocket is an RPG Maker Xp game where you play as a young girl named Tissa(granddaughter of a hero) who with her demon “follower” protect a small town from demons.
Story
After a short sequence where the player meets Dean, the demon, and learn about Tissa the game begins. You are immediately set off to hunt some monsters for some parts, and you continue to do this kind of thing throughout the game. After a while a high level demon shows up, defeats you, and your goal changes to beating him. The rest of the game is spent getting to where he is to beat him.
The only other part of the story is the dynamic of Dean of Tissa. Dean is a demon who gets stronger if he has sex. Tissa is a bit of a pure girl and was raised not to trust demons. She acts like something of a tsundere to Dean, but Dean is relentless in trying to sleep with her. If you let even one lewd act occur you get the good ending(which sets up a sequel that never happened). If not you get the normal ending and there is no bad end.
Gameplay
The games a typical turn based RPG, with only one thing standing out. Dean is the party’s mage and healer, but to use his healing spells he needs to get off in some way with Tissa. This causes a two line scene in combat that reuses an h cg and then he’ll cast the actual support spell. These spells are all gotten from viewing certain scenes in the game, and Dean levels up from h actions so sex scenes are useful to the player. Dean even gets a class change if he takes Tissa’s virginity, and so does Tissa who loses a late game move if not a virgin. Dean is the better choice but it does let the player choose between which of the two to make the better/stronger character. Also this means if you want the normal ending, you can’t use his spells as they raise Tissa’s lewdness.
Other then that, the game is very basic. It has a lewdness system, but it’s there more to be a number then anything as it does not effect anything. The only things that triggers more scenes are losing against the demon and losing Tissa’s virginity. All h scenes rely on these events.
One last thing is the game has a time system. There are four times of day which are reflected in the lighting. This system is very under utilized, and only changes three things at night. Allows more scenes, lets you go to Dean’s house(more scenes and a weapon), and has the shop and other NPC’s go to sleep. It does nothing in fights and is more cosmetic then anything.
Last thing, unlike most RPG Xp games, you run in this one. You walk by holding shift which does nothing, but speed is nice compared to things like Opala where you move so slow.
H and Other Stuff
All scenes in this game are between Tissa and Dean, or Tissa by herself. Even though the scenes might start out like a rape attempt, it’s more like peer pressure ending in Tissa enjoying it. Instead of corruption, Tissa just becomes more okay with being horny for Dean. Its very vanilla in a way, and I like that compared to all the the other rpg maker rpgs where its either harem or rape. Its not very exciting, and the scenes are short with reused cgs within their event series and sometimes have sound bites play, but still nice.
The art is odd to me. Its kind of like Aching Dreams 2nd art but with better coloring and more youthful as in Dean is a straight up shota and Tissa is to thin to have her rather large bust(for her anyway), but whatever. Other then that, basic rpg maker resources used for everything.
The translation is stiff or awkward at some places, but is readable.
Overall, the game is passable. Not really worth a play unless you have nothing else, but it works and can fill a few hours if need be. Nothing it does is unique or special and it just ends up beginning a story that as far as I know never continued.
Save is at a room with all scenes and a game restart. Also can go fight the final boss for the good ending.
