H Scene Count-50+

Length- 40+ hours right now
This is an RPG Maker VXAce game. To describe it briefly, it’s a choices matter dark take on the whole demon lord versus the world plot, I guess? Honestly it’s what Overwhored should have been game wise. Oh, and it’s h scenes are text only. And unlike Lee’s other games(Ouroboros and Desecration of Wings) this is the standard patreon updated over time title.
Note, unlike how I try to keep up with versions of other patreon games I’ll likely not do that with this one. I don’t want to play this piecemeal, 1-3 hours of content a month or whatever. So I’m going to wait a couple of versions before updating my saves and my thoughts.
Story
Sometimes playing a game to far makes it hard to write a proper summary. On one hand, you know more and can alert people on certain story themes or traits that might not have been very obvious, but while on the other you forgot the original premise as you realize the actual plot the game is moving towards which means you either write entirely spoilers, or nothing useful at all. In this game’s case I’m not sure how far to go with a summary because the twists and things playing out how you suspect them to are part of the overall narrative, as far as I can tell. This being an incomplete game makes it slightly easier as I don’t have any idea how this is going to end, but I’ll still go on the side of caution.
So the game opens with you playing as a Chosen, a church “hero” who is going to kill the Incubus King, the great evil ruler who almost took over the country a few years back and is still a looming threat. He meets up with the standard magical girl and a wizened old veteran and they go to attack a fortress. Then the hero dies. We are then shown who our actual main character is, the wizened old veteran who just jumped out of a window after a succubus forced sex on him. A few days of survival later our actual “hero” picks up a new chosen and soon learns that the succubus did more then just try to have sex with him, she made him a sex lord kinda. He now wields the same power as the Incubus King. He then moves out with his growing harem to improve the world through whatever he deems needs to be done.
Simon, the old guys name, is not a good guy. He’s not evil either and tries to stay basically closer to a light shade of grey on morality. You can make him do a few eviler things, but usually there’s legitimate reasons for the options. Basically, he’s pragmatic and goal oriented. He makes plans and moves to act them out, taking the coming issues in stride. He wants a lasting peace and happiness for as many as possible, so he doesn’t pillage or rape anyone. But at the same time he will slaughter and make use of his haremettes as needed. A lot of the plot makes him feel more like a caring hands off Dad then the main figure of a harem.
Anyway, so he moves out with his growing harem, building economical clout and gathering military and skilled allies in every field so that he can make the world a better place. For everyone. Maybe. Honestly the harem is probably one of the best parts of the game. Unlike other game’s that have harems but forget about half the characters, this one actively tries to keep all of them relevant without pushing any of them to far in focus. Usually each one gets an introduction arc where they meet and kinda fall for Simon then the sex happens. After that that relationship will stay mostly the same but now its that girls relations with the rest of the harem that gets focused on. While some of the nearly 20 members of the harem do get less focus, none of them are ever forgotten and left alone. Probably because the game shifts from combat focused to a more politics/social form a lot, even the non combat girls play important roles in the story and events that occur. I could live without them talking about sex as much as they do though. One of my few complaints is far to many discussions and talks end with them talking about fucking after things are done or a couple of the characters complaining about the lack of sex. Whenever the serious girls where the only ones involved I was more invested simply because those distractions went away for a while. It’s not a deal breaker for me, but it can grate.
I feel going any further spoils a bit to much of the game. While this is a choices matter oriented game, those choices do not affect the bigger picture, just usually gameplay or smaller life things. This is a game that grows its world as you play. Both in lore and scope. Which might sound obvious, but a lot of RPG Maker game’s fail at both of those.
Gameplay
It’s mostly a standard RPG Maker game, with very set characters. They all have their role and learn little outside of it for a very long time. For example, you get two elemental mages. One learns bigger single target spells, the other group target. You also have another mage who only learns pleasure based spells that work on like 30% of the enemies in the game. So you will find yourself using most of the party as the creator made sure certain areas where better fits for certain parties, and certain parts of the story split the party up so you want to be sure everyone is at least equipped with decent gear. You can win without the best group, but it will take way longer.
Anyway, the major thing this game has going for it is choices. While they won’t change the entire story, they do effect a lot of hidden stats and haremette affection. There will be several points in the game where the story sandboxes a bit for you to go and make decisions and affect the city you are in/around so that when an upcoming war battle or big event happens, you have the resources to deal with it. The game makes you aware that Simon is going big and it wants you to as well. Not that you have to try to get the best results. I’m fairly sure you could beat the game without doing almost any of the prep work beyond what is required but the game would be far harder and more boring that way.
So one thing this game does that is a godsend is make funds for those big story/resource things separate from your spending cash. Spending cash, called Sx, is gotten from monsters and from quests like usual but you will find yourself running out often as equipment is expensive. You will never be able to outfit everyone to their best and you will need everyone at least equipped so try to spread out your resources. As for the story money, that’s called ProN. Think of it as dollars and Sx as gold, if you know how the gold standard works. Basically to invest and do large purchases, people in the world need to use ProN. You only get a certain amount of this and investments can vary from shops that make there items cheaper to military benefits when war events happen. Spend it wisely, and don’t conserve. Like real life, you need to spend to make.
As for girl affection, as far as I can tell that affects a few small things. Some scenes won’t happen if a girls affection isn’t high enough, but for the most part you want affection to unlock the ala carte scenes. Each girl has 1-3 of them, and once you hit 100 affection a girl gets locked there so you can do their scenes and never worry about losing access to them. Oh, and if two girls are maxed or high enough they can get combined skills which open up their move sets, and rarely the girl’s affection scores will be used for event success in negotiations or combat events in the story. Honestly the affection system is simple compared to the ridiculous number of variables the rest of the game works with. For the most part, see any unique scenes with a girl and just do any quests they ask you to do and they’ll end up at a 100 eventually. Not a lot of big choices influence affection enough that you should even factor that in, just do what you want and be sure to talk to the harem every rest point to grab what points you can.
H and Other stuff
It’s all text based, and lies heavily on harem material. Only a few scenes are between Simon and a specific girl, usually the girl’s introduction h scene, while most other scenes are between Simon and a pair or more of the girls. All the scenes are consensual save for about three. There is a point in the game when two of the succubi sleep with other orcs and an ogre, but other then that all sex is either with Simon or between girls. Some members of your harem even get their own harem mates, all women.
The sex is a bit weird because of how sexual magic in the setting works. Basically, sex is more then just the physical contact. Because of what Simon is sex with him is basically the best thing ever, and he can use his essence and magic to make it better, eventually being able to expand his dick to whatever size he wants and use tentacles to make up for only having a single dick. He eventually even gets a mage that lets him clone himself, though that’s only in a small number of scenes. This is reflected in the writing a lot, with descriptions not just focusing on the physical but also how a girls magic and energy feel.
Almost all the scenes are in third person, describing what Simon and the girl/s are doing with some dialogue thrown in. I’d describe the girls and their races but since you don’t see anything I don’t feel that is needed. There is variety in there personality and archetypes though.
Verdict and Save
This is probably one of the best patreon RPG’s I’ve ever played. It grows slowly in scope but makes sure there is almost always something to do. A lot of NPC’s have good little lore lines or just funny things to say, and they reflect your actions and the world’s changes. There’s a lot of options on how to go about things that make each playthrough unique enough. This game knows how to do serious and comedy in good doses so neither occupies to much space and overall it’s a great experience. I do have some issues with balancing and combat in some places, but overall the game’s a blast for me. If you like the Dragon Age origins or Mass Effect style of building your world, you’ll probably love this. The only downside is the text only scenes, but honestly I don’t think the harem nature would work without those, there’s just to many scenes for them to each have graphics and lessening the scene number to deal with that or delaying updates for images just wouldn’t fly I feel.
The game’s also far longer then I expected for a .39. Most game’s around that take about 10 or less hours, this one took 50+. Make sure you have the time before you sit down for this, it’s a big one. Which might actually be a detriment to it’s nature as choice driven as it takes far to long to do another run to see the differences. That ‘ll really be player to player, but I doubt I’ll ever do a proper second playthough. At best, one when the game is done to see it from start to finish.
Save is at the end of content with all scenes available. I needed two saves for this, since there is no way to have all of them in the game without cheating and possibly breaking a lot of things moving forward. One has the good scenes for the two points where you can split and has the good versions of the girls whom you can pick there personalities. The Save two has the mean/bad decisions so the girls are sex oriented even more. Only a small number of scenes reflect these changes but they do so I made sure to have both. If any girl is not at 100 affection it is because that is not an option for them yet, all of their sex content is available by talking to them. For event sex scenes, go into Simon’s skill menu and use Reflect, that gets you into the scene gallery. Save 5 is my actual current save if you want to continue without the chance of breaking things.
