This game was NOT provided by the publisher. You're playing as James, a lender that offers his clients a bit of a special way out. He offers them to gamble their way out of debt. But if they fail, their girlfriends are the ones paying the price. This surprised me a bit, it feels like renpy, but the engine seems to be Unity. Simple game, so it's technically perfectly fine. It does not work perfectly on deck though, not showing all cards on screen. Can work with it if you want to play it on the deck, but it is annoying, as you may miss the single pixel card on the side of the screen. N/A - English only N/A - None It's decently well drawn. It won't blow your mind, but I'd say it's good enough that it may justify buying the DLCs. Well, it's NTR, so that's one thing. The female also doesn't seem to be quite willing as she pays the price for her boyfriends idiocy. For the price of free, this is quite a decent offering. You get one girl, with more available through paid DLC, and the art quality is decent to good. The card game can be a bit frustrating, and it doesn't run well on deck due to elements getting drawn outside the screen, but it does provide an hour or so with fun, more so if you like what you see and end up buying the DLC. Comparing what's in the DLC, though I haven't bought any, it seems to be priced quite reasonable. Give this a go, and if you like what you see, you can think about the DLCs.

This game was NOT provided by the publisher. Distant Space 2 is a Arcadey space shooter in the vein of space invaders, though a bit more hectic, and seems to have a finite amount of levels. No idea what engine this is, but wouldn't surprise me if the developer just rolled their own engine. It seems rather bare bones, and the game is not exactly what I'd call deep, so can probably get this game going with any engine or relatively easily roll a custom engine for this one. Nothing, no story at all, so no dialogue to go along with all that nothing on that front Saw a friend had played this, so decided to take it for a quick spin myself. Initially I noticed the amount of achievements, and that did not exactly fill me with confidence, expecting to sit at the main menu for an hour waiting for the achivements to pop before going into the game, but guess I was spared that. The achievements is spammy indeed, but they're given out piecemeal after each level. It's fine, though unnessecary. The game can stand just fine on its own without gimmicks like that. I am not super big on arcadey games like this, but I cannot deny that this is actually a decent game. I can see myself having a decent amount of fun here if I was just a little bit more into the type of game. I would say to give this a go if you tend to like these kinds of games.

This game was provided by the publisher. These games are quite formulaic, so just gonna put this here for all Miel games. Miel has a... taste. It's always women with boobs large enough to be classified as lethal weapons. I'm sure that if they turn around too fast, they'll decapitate 2 or 3 men in a crowd. >.< They also tend to favour plots that are quite out there, with a focus on what looks more like roleplay than actual sexual encounters. None of this is critique, I'm basically explaining a "fap-game" here, just intended for quite short bursts of interest from the player, with no complicated plot to get in the way of... well... the plot. Due to this shallowness though, what might be seen as problematic elements in more deep games are quite hard to take seriously, leading to my assumption that this may be fine even if you're usually reserved against games with darker themes. I imagine women will find these games hilarious (Highly recommend any women reading to give it a spin... and do tell me how you fare) All in all, Miels formula is: Very large breasts, over the top plots and some light bdsm and powerplay. If that's something you're into, any Miel game will work well for you, just look at their catalogue and select the setting that speaks to you, and you should be all set for... like 2.5h or thereabouts, that seems to be what their games clock in at. Okay, so, this time, Mr. Protag-kun runs an inn. His father has recently passed away, and he's making do on his own, despite his inn being in a quite dangerous ares. His main source of income right now happens to be 3... the game insists they're older ladies, but I'll leave that judgement up to those playing.... female adventurers that originally came to meet his father. One thing leads to another, and the Miel formula plays out. Happily ever after =P As per usual, we're dealing with RenPy. Looking over it all, it's competently put together, and is mostly using what I can only assume is their internal boilerplate at this point. No bugs that I've noticed, and everything seems neat on the technical front. Translation is, as per usual, very good. There are few issues, this time I only flagged 2 typos towards the latter part of the game, and there isn't even any headscrathers on the translation side this time. Can't really file any real complaints with this one. VAs are well cast for their roles, and they pull off the hentai playbook quite well. They deliver a performance that is a good fit for a game of this type, and it fits the characters they are bound to. As per usual, we're dealing with full screen CGs, and we have some lewd variant character sprites. Pretty much what you'd expect, and quite serviceable. As per usual, we're dealing with light bdsm and powerplay with a dash of corruption spiced on top. As I said earlier, none of this is easy to take seriously, so don't think that any controversial content here is reason to stay away, it's more likely to tease out a chuckle than disgust even if this isn't usually your cup of tea. It's a Miel game, not quite sure what to say... It's technically competent, it's well cast, it knows EXACTLY what type of player it's going for. If the art looks good to you, the setting sounds interesting and you have a thing for women with world class assets... well, here you go, dinner is served.

This game was provided by the publisher. You're Mr. Protagonist and you have this awful problem... 3 extremely busty girls have started intruding on your room! I know, I too feel awfully sorry for him. Eventually it turns out that these 3 ladies have a secret, they're really the magical girls protecting the city. One thing leads to another and it turns out that you can grant them extra mana, though horniness, of course, how else would something like that happen! RenPy, decently well utilised. Miel usually has a kinda scene creator mode included, and that is present and accounted for here. While not a major deal, it may prove interesting to poke at if you're so inclined. Besides that it works just fine. I did note that achievements currently do not work though, and a look at the game discussion tells me that it seems to be the case over the board. Hopefully the developer will address this sooner rather than later. About an hour after posting this review, a update was released that made the achievements work properly, so this shouldn't be an issue anymore. Well, the translation is fine... mostly fine. There are some very strange choices of words during translation, but if you do not speak Japanese to any appreciable level, these will mostly fly over your head, and they're natural in English, so it doesn't really have much of an effect on the experience as a whole. Even if you speak Japanese, these are minor annoyances or non-issues, depending on your personal tastes. As per usual for Miel games, the voice-actors are delivering quite well, and they fit quite well with the characters. Nothing much to say, they're rather good at their job. This is a simple kinetic novel, and it's clear that its main purpose is to excite, not to leave you pondering the story. Sexual content are exclusively still images, no Live2D or anything fancy, just good ol' fashioned still images with voice-over. It does its job reasonably well, but I can feel some longing for a bit higher production value on this one. Miel tends to go for the fap-game thing, so this is plenty serviceable for that though. Some borderline consent issues, but it's used primarily as dirty talk, not really explored much closer. Shouldn't pose a large issue, and if you're familiar with Miel games, this is on the mild side what that is concerned. So, Miel... They have a knack for naming their games, most of their games have really eye catching names that entices you to buy them, and this is not any different. The name is also super descriptive as to the content of the game. You, as the protagonist, is getting milked for mana, and that's the base idea the game revolves around. There is nothing much special here, but if you're just looking for a fap-game, this, and pretty much any other Miel game, will deliver that in spades. The price is quite fair given the amount of voice-acting and art in here, though Miel games tend to go on frequent sales, so if it's a bit rich for your blood, you can probably wait a bit and get a 20% or so discount. All in all, if the title entices you, and you're fine with kinetic/visual novels, there's no reason you should give this a pass. If the title fails to entice you, I recommend you take a peek at Miels back catalogue, as there are several more where that comes from with different settings, though all feature extremely well endowed women.

This game was NOT provided by the publisher. Ehm... Desktop maid girl. Sorry, nothing more to say here. Unity. Feels held together with tape and well wishes. Little to no text here, so not really a worry. Very artificial. Extremely poor voice-over. Light BDSM, nothing much here, the purpose is probably to be something cute to look at on the side of the screen while doing other stuffs. Some people can get offended by whipping and such... I guess? Overall, not controversial in the slightest. Same as the previous game I reviewed from this creator, FellaTrain, this feels like someone was having fun making it. Unlike that game though, it does not save this one. There's too little to do here. Creator should probably have seen this as more of a training product than a product to sell. This should probably have been a free product, or something along the lines of $0.50. I would give this a hard pass.

This game was NOT provided by the publisher. You are a web developer living a lonely life, cooped up in your apartment, barely doing any work and living the perfect Doomer life. That all changes when meeting Jessie, a new employee at the local corner store... Hello Unity, my old friend, this time with IL2CPP instead of Mono. Not that it matters much, there's no real need to mod this one due to its nature as a extremely straight forward Kinetic Novel. Game does nothing of note on the technical side, so nothing much to say. The English here is perfectly fine. Not sure what the developers native language is, but wouldn't be surprised to learn it's English, so all good on this front. There is no voicework in this game. There's a singular Live2D scene in this game. Taken that the game only lasts for about 1 hour with a leisurely playthrough, this is perfectly fine. The sexual content very much seems like an after thought, though it doesn't feel exploitative, like it's there only to drag attention, it genuinely fits where it's at. Nothing really. This is a surprisingly sweet love story, which took me by surprise, having gone into the game expecting to be nuked from orbit with memes. So, I went into this game with the completely wrong idea. I expected some 4chan meme overload thrown at me for the duration of the gameplay, but what I got instead was a kinda cute love story, with a somewhat... depressing undertone. I came across this game while explicitly looking for what seemed to be low effort attention grabbing games, and immediately assumed this to be in that category, but I'm extremely happy to have been proven wrong. There is nothing special here, and the price-tag is in the upper ranges of what I'd judge fair for this game, but it's a quite good, really cute, love story, so if that's what you're in the market for, here ya go.

This game was NOT provided by the publisher. You've returned to your hometown after living elsewhere for a good while, and while looking for your own place and enrolling in university, you're crashing with your Childhood friend Hana. One thing leads to another and... Engine on display this time around is RenPy. Nothing special done here, no custom modes or any real interactivity. There's a few choice screens, but they're very simple and only really have one correct answer. The English is perfectly fine, no real problems to flag, and I did not spot any typos while playing. No voice-work in this game. The sexual content is all still images. There are some image series that gives the illusion of a very slow animation here and there, but overall, nothing special. As to not beat around the bush, he sexually assaults her. The author has gone to LENGTHS trying to explain that "she could say no", but sorry, stuffing your hands into a girls crouch from behind as a "surprise"... yeeeee, no excuse in the world will save you from that one. That being said, she really doesn't seem to mind his attention in the physical sense, so, take that as you will. There is something here. The story is a great base for a longer narrative. This game pulls two major sins though: Halfassing it and rushing it. This story would've gained a lot from either having the girl be more open to it, or straight up against it. If we're talking corruption... chances are it would help the story to have her be more against it, and have a bit slower of a burn to get her to the initial state shown in the game. Alternatively, there's the road where she's super willing, but naive or so inexperienced that faces will meet palms at the speed of light, either works really. Nothing in the world will save this game though with phasing such as this, it's far too rushed, and only lasts about 30 minutes for a full playthrough. There's tons of room for expanding here, maybe even adding in some gameplay (please don't do bejeweled... I've played enough bejeweled for a lifetime delving through my adult games on steam...), and we could get something quite good here. The creators also need to look into lighting, as the use of lighting here really isn't good. Feels like there's a 1000w light glaring straight at the character during the game, and that's... ye. This is a common problem with games utilising DAZ though, so, if you tend to like how DAZ games look, this should work fine for you. Don't know where to put this in, so I'll just stuff it here, every so often the atmosphere taints pink and get really... "heavy" for a lack of better words, making me think of cotton candy or something. This seems to reflect the girls feelings. This is a really neat touch, quite enjoyed that. Everything combined... It's not really worth full price, but I see, at time of writing, that this game is 70% off, and it absolutely is a decent deal at that point, and saves the recommendation.

This game was NOT provided by the publisher. Assist our protagonist princess, Ida, as she traverses a land of impossible shapes as her pilgrimage of forgiveness. This game was made for mobile, and it's very clear in its design that it is, but it plays incredibly well on PC with mouse and keyboard... Just do not try to play this with a controller, and you're good. Barely any text in this game, and no voiceover, but what little text is there is quite fluent. This game has no controversial content, and is probably a really good game to allow a child to play to train problemsolving abilities. Mobile game on PC, usually a recipe for disaster with low effort transitions... This, however, despite nothing much being changed from the mobile version, plays very well on PC. Nothing in the game ever did require more than one press at any one time, and that transitions very well to a mice, though the "flick" controls make this thing quite annoying with a controller. The difficulty is also very well balanced, never get super hard, but makes you engage a reasonable amount with your brain to get through. I said so further up, but this may be perfect if you want to give your child some engagement with their problem solving abilities. So, no matter your age, this very much is a recommended buy.

This game was NOT provided by the publisher. Heya there traveller, it seems you've managed to get yourself into yet another attempt at the exit 8 gameplay, this time while trying to meet some girl in a hotel... that for some reason has a classroom in the middle of the rooms? Don't try to make sense of anything, better that way. Unreal engine this time, that's relatively rare... It runs... about all I have to say outside of what engine it's running. One word, horrible. It doesn't feel like any effort, period, went into this game. Parts of the menus are in Chinese, the English itself is just barely readable. None. By "THAT pool" (where all my JAV fans at?), there's a girl that gets gradually undressed as you get more correct paths. Played until floor 9, and she was dancing to some music in a bikini at that point. This is about as blatant a thirst-trap you get short of going full on adult only. Nothing... to be controversial, you have to do something... anything... put some minuscule amount of effort into making the game. STAY AWAY. Go Play the Exit 8, that's quite fun, unlike this one. You already played that? Sure, go play Shinkansen 0, a game by Chilla's Art, which shows that you can dram HEAVY inspiration from other successful games, and still make something fun that can stand on its own. Unable to Exit 8 is one of the worst cash grabs jumping on something successful I've seen in years. I cannot even begin to imagine how you'd be more blatant about it, doing so would be impressive in and off itself. Steer clear, there are way better games out there, you do NOT need this one.

This game was NOT provided by the publisher. A aspiring "perfect" wife is seeking out the author of a book she's read. Unfortunately the author isn't there when she arrives to visit, but his brother happily assists her with finding ways to please her future husband, even when she's on her period or pregnant... Hi again Unity o/ Despite the game feeling very jank, it doesn't seem to have any obvious problems on the technical side. Mind you, the scope of this game, and the polygons on screen at any one time isn't exactly impressive, so optimisation issues will not be super visible here unless ran on a very low end computer. It works for what it is. This is very rough, the dialogue feels extremely stale, almost as though it's AI translated, or translated by someone with a very loose grip on the English language, which takes us to... If the text sounds AI, wait till you get a listen at the voice-acting. The store page says that the game uses AI for sounds and illustrations... don't know if sounds covers voice-acting, but it certainly sounds like it. It's that little bit distorted, and it feels unnatural when listening to it from a spoken language point of view.... I want to say stale, but that's not really the word I'm looking for... the tone, the breaks between words and sentences... it all feels off. I will say though, the music here... while probably AI, is perfect. Quite liked it, and especially the lyrics that can be shown on screen. Sexual training... nothing much to it... You do the deed repeatedly, girl levels up, game concludes. You're walking around a room with the girl on a leash, selecting the position based on the location you're starting. Well, our aspiring "perfect" wife is getting tricked into having sexual contact with a man on false pretences, and is then quite harshly treated during the training part. Par for the course for adult content, but some may take offence to this series of events. Nothing much of what I've written until now should make anyone expect me to recommend this game... The 3D models are mediocre at best, it's heavily using AI, it's super short and simple as can be... but I found myself enjoying this quite a bit more than the sum of its parts should indicate that I ought to... Find the girls not quite so innocent wish to be quite endearing, and the training part, while simple, is decently put together. It also feels like someone had genuine fun putting this together, and that feeling is worth a whole lot of AAA "throw money at the screen" production in my book. This game could do with a bit lower price of entry, but it's not utterly unreasonable... If nothing I've said have piqued your interest a lot, you may want to grab it on sale, if at all.
