Length-6 hours or so. Probably half that on easy if you know what you are doing.
Patreon city management sim. You build up a town, starting with a single place for people to stay, into a giant kinda sex empire. I bought this off Nutaku thinking it looked familiar, and I was right. Patreon game for sale.
Now I’m not going to complain about that, but not having it noted in the game’s summary that its not done is aggravating. Its obviously unfinished as well. When you hit new game, you get a single option. Free play. Choose a difficulty and you are thrown into the game. No tutorial no nothing. I know a story mode is being worked on, but no idea the if I’ll have to buy it as dlc, a separate game, or if it’ll be a free download(no way that one is happening.)
EDIT- There is a more up to date version, I’ll deal with it after it gets a significant amount of content.
Story
No story, as mentioned above. It’ll be done eventually but no idea what form it’ll be in. For now, the plot is to hire women and then set up the town’s legal structure that they attract as many men as possible and get you extra cash via sex appeal and favors.
Gameplay
The major component of this, and I’m not sure how in depth I should go here. There’s a decent number of systems in play with even a few I still don’t understand cause the game doesn’t explain anything. I think I’ll just talk about hiring, orders, the currencies and that should cover the major bits.
So for the most part, buildings get you resources. Tables for patrons, rooms for guests, food, drinks and so on. Other then the guards you actually don’t have to hire anyone, and I think even guards have a generic male stand in if you don’t hire to max capacity. Basically most of the girls are add ons to the buildings. They’ll increase the speed or gains of the buildings purpose, and you can improve these gains and have the girls entertain guests by issuing orders. Orders require xp and maybe a specific buildings or money, and usually improve a specific girl in some way. Like lowering base shyness so she’ll have sex with guests right after being hired or making their individual stat management easier. Some do bigger things, but usually its a few minor upgrades and some art of what you ordered into the girls job. Issuing orders is the main goal of the game right now, as it doesn’t have an ending. So while you don’t need to recruit/hire, you don’t really have any goals if you don’t. So build everything, hire the workers and watch.
So we have three real currencies. Xp, which as described above is mostly for issuing orders and can also be used for faction upgrades, which are mostly buffs to your numbers. Factions points degrade over time so honestly they aren’t worth investing into until near the end of your play time and sadly have no art or anything, just generic bonuses. The second currency is faith, which is used to purify ghosts, cure illness, and do some orders. You get faith from your religious girls having sex instead of getting gold. It’s kinda weird, but you need a lot of faith in hard mode so I ended up with like 15(the most of any of the hires for me) sisters just to balance my needs. Then you have gold, the main currency and the game over condition. If your gold gets to low, it’s game over. You get charged ten percent of your highest total ever every in game day, and if that brings you low enough the game ends. There are situations where you just start bleeding money for who knows what, so be sure that if you are earning, make saves and don’t save when you are losing as that’s likely a dead save. Anyway, gold is used to hire girls, build buildings, pay fees for those two things, and a bunch of other stuff. Almost all money gain is passive based on travelers buying stuff from your town, so you need to balance places for people to stay, places to bathe, entertainment, food production, and so on. This is made easy because any time one category is struggling, it turns red on the hud and you get a message about it on the right side of the screen. For the most part you just build to deal with issues and you’ll be fine. Eventually though you can just stop and let money accumulate, as you will never satisfy everyone.
So yeah. build to earn money. Hire girls for more money and XP to do orders. The game is basically tiered into four different levels based on the highest form of living place you’ve built. This limits other buildings and hires so you really can’t do much at the start. It takes a bit to get used to(and I’m generally not good at games like this) but its not hard. As soon as you start earning you can technically just sit there and just repair stuff until you have all the money you need. Active or reactive are both choices for how to play here.
H and Other stuff
It’s image only, though you do get a silly reasoning for the order. All the images are either you hiring the girls or issuing orders, which are detailed above. Basically every order equals a new piece of art, and getting them is really the main driving force of the game. Some of the images are fairly kinky with some weird fetishes and silly text. Not a lot of actual sex ones though. A lot of them are just the girl getting less clothes or doing something sexual but not having actual sex, if that makes sense. Also as you complete a class of girls orders their hire portrait loses or gets completely new clothes.
I honestly can’t think of a theme to tag the sex for in this. I guess it’s mostly vanilla or prostitution, but each girls theme is quite different and usually to out there for me to act like it’s focused in any way to anyone one specific fetish.
Verdict and Save
I enjoyed my time with this for the most part, though since I generally don’t care for the genre I don’t really feel like I can say if this is worth it or not. I dead ended like 5 times on hard mode for reasons I could never figure out, but enjoyed most of the process. Guess I didn’t build enough infrastructure or something. The whole not the full game thing bothers me, since I wasn’t expected an unfinished product, but after Roundscape did this everywhere I shouldn’t be too surprised.
Make sure to hit F1 to see quick keys. You’ll really want to know how to speed up the game at least.
Full save. Has all the different orders done so you can look at the images as you please. It’s also ready for any updates as it should be in a good spot to continue if the need arises.
