Relicts of Aeson - v0.17.0

I keep coming back to this one even though the translation is a mess. Not broken english exactly, more like someone ran it through three different translators and then got bored halfway. Ariana is a thief, her girlfriend is sick or cursed or something, and the village Pyrewood has this plague that makes everyone horny. Classic setup. The intro is way too long but also I didn't skip it because the scenes are actually hot. Something about the way the corruption spreads, the way characters slowly give in. There's this one moment with the inquisitor where she's supposed to be interrogating someone but the plague gets to her first and the power dynamic just flips completely. The animation is simple, almost crude, but the artist knows exactly what angles work. That thing where the eyes go slightly unfocused? They nail it every time. The faction system is where it gets interesting. You've got the Inquisition, the Mages, and then just straight up The Orgy. I spent most of my time with the Orgy faction because obviously, but the Inquisition quests have this tension that the others don't. There's a scene with tentacles that I wasn't expecting, the way it's framed almost clinical at first then just. The mage faction only has one quest in the free version which is a crime honestly because the setup is the best part. You can tell they put all the writing effort into the corruption arcs and then remembered they needed an actual game around it. The pregnancy content is there but it's not like a main thing, more like a consequence that shows up later if you make certain choices. I wish the bukkake scenes were more integrated into the story instead of feeling like bonus content. The open world has these little hidden scenes that are easy to miss, I found one completely by accident behind the tavern that changed how I saw one of the minor characters. The game doesn't tell you about half of what's available. You just have to poke around and sometimes you get a scene and sometimes you get a blank screen because the translation gave up entirely. The corruption mechanics are the real star here, watching the protagonist's sprite change over time, the dialogue options shifting. There's this one line she says near the end of the Orgy questline that's just "oh" and the delivery, even through the broken english, is perfect.
