This is an RPG Maker VXAce game where you play as Lina, a girl looking for her mother in a dungeon that changes shape. Here she meets two other girls looking for things in the dungeon and they set off on a surprisingly well done journey that tells the stories of the three girls and that of the dungeon itself.

Story

The game starts with Lina checking into an inn in a town where their resides a dungeon that houses a wish granting crystal. Lina is here to find her mother who went missing about half a year ago, and she believes her mother is in the dungeon. As she ventures forth she comes across two other girls, one of which is in the dungeon to get money for her mother and the other is searching for her master who went missing. The three team up and discover the truth of the dungeon and the town that built up around it, as well as the secret about Lina’s mom.

Not a very deep story, but a well told one. There is no real point in playing the game where I felt the story was forgotten, like in many other RPG Maker games where after the intro the next time you will see plot is the ending. A new bit of plot would drip by fairly often and everything was wrapped up in the end neatly. The game is mostly trying to split itself between being funny and being serious and the shifts work. I mean, having a trap prone girl fall into everything while also having rape scenes means the tone has to shift a lot, and this game does an alright job of that.

Gameplay

The game is standard rpg maker fair. Other then a focus on the alchemy system(Lina is an Enchanter, she adds magic to things) for gaining new abilities for Lina and the better gear, the combat system is basic. It flows well and fights don’t take to long, and once defeated enemies stay dead. No refighting the same slime every time you go back to any screen, it stays gone. Also the dungeon is designed in such a way that it is easy to go back to town at any time. There is almost always a quick way out of an area that you unlock as you progress. You also run by default, which means you don’t have to hold down shift forever to move at a decent pace. Text skip is set to A for some reason.

Even though the number of enemies in the game is limited, you don’t have to worry about lacking ingredients for the alchemy system. The only drops from enemies that matter are Mana Dust/Powders and these drop at a really high rate.

The only real complaint I have is that the game lags. I don’t know why or if it’s just my computer, but it would often lag and I would miss a few squares of movement. Nothing game breaking but it was rally odd and annoying at some points.

Sex Scenes and other stuff

The game has two different flavors of sex. Prostitution and rape. Rape has the common monsters of slime, tentacle, orc, and bandits going at Lina after losing and there are a few story scenes. Each heroine loses her virginity in a rape scene(which for the other two, is their only scene), though the one looking for money actually gets to enjoy her virginity lose. As for prostitution, it varies from drug induced enjoyment to doing it out of necessity. All the scenes save for two(which are continuations of other scenes) are of medium length and decently written. The rape scenes are good at displaying the horrible situation while the scenes the girls enjoy are just as good at portraying that. I just wish there was at least one scene which all three girls were in together, but no all scenes are focused on a single girl. Except the joke non h scenes which are done in a completely different art style and just play on some standard tropes.

I liked the music, since it felt unique to this game though its probably just a pack that is rarely used. Other then the three girls sprites assets are all standard RPG Maker. All three girls even get full body shots which is nice to see, and Lina even gets an extra outfit you can see her in by checking her closet once you get it.

Saves and Final Verdict

Overall, I had a good time with this game. It could be because of all the horrible dlsite games I’ve recently played, but I truly feel this is one of the better RPG Maker games I’ve played. It has an actually advancing plot, quick battles that are easily avoided, a good simple alchemy system, and an art style I liked. If you can stand RPG Maker games, this one is worth playing.

Save contains all scenes unlocked, and a save at the epilogue where you can look at Lina in her other costumes, and see the ending plus the silly bonus dungeon stuff.
