Unity - Completed - Apprehending the Adventurer Chan! ~Live2D Tentacles Simulator~ [v1.0] [No.7 Void Mine]

Please check the spoiler directly below this disclaimer to understand the review. (it really helps you know whats going on)
AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE: I've 100% the game.

STORY: This plot is just context on why the adventurer is being held captive by tentacles. I really wasn't expecting much from a tentacle simulator game thing, but I have played other games similar to this with a more expanded upon story. 0.1/0.35 stars.
ORIGINALITY: For this type of game, the plot isn't really all to unique, again, I have played games older than this one with essentially the same story. I really wasn't expecting much, but I'm suprised how generic the plot was. 0.05/0.25 stars.

DIFFICULTY: This game is a simulator so the star caps for other categories have been increased
ENGAGEMENT: This is a generic tentacle simulator game, which means the engagement isn't bad, it's just uninteresting. You just click some buttons to spawn tentacles or maybe turn off auto mode if you really want to for some reason. There is literally no reason not to turn on auto-mode though, it's like using an autoclicker in cookie clicker. It benefits you in pretty much every way. There's actually even more reason to turn on auto-mode than to use an auto-clicker in cookie clicker. This game is pretty heavily customisable though, so there is a lot of things you can do to customise your tentacles. The game's quality of life is perhaps one of the best aspects. Still, I feel as if the engagement is boring, and it's less of a game and more like an AV, which is what these types of games are aiming for I guess. 0.18/0.36 stars.
OVERWORLD: Outside of engagement, the game is really, really great! As I said earlier, the game is heavily customisable. Which means you can customise tentacles, how they piston, how they look and all that. You also can enable and disable status effects to your liking, customise the heroines looks and emotions, her sensitivity, camera settings and you have a ton of stats to track your progress, and even titles for people who want to 100% the game. There are so much more customisable things that I wouldn't be able to list here, which is a good thing. There is also a shop that gives you more tentacles and customisable options to use on the heroine. 0.36/0.36 stars.
LENGTH: The game doesn't take too long to complete, probably like four or five hours of total playtime to 100%, even less if you know what you're doing. For a simulator game where you can basically do nothing and still progress, and compared to the content the game gives, I'd say it's a pretty fair wait and doesn't take too long. You'll be unlocking content often enough to still be somewhat interested, which works, but it's not great. It would be better if the game was a little shorter at the start, because it takes a while to get the ball rolling. It would also help if the game was more expanded upon during the mid-endgame because that's when the game becomes trivial in how fast you unlock things. 0.2/0.36 stars.
PERFORMANCE: The game is compressed in file size, only 300 MB, which is very welcome. The game has clearly has been playtested well with zero bugs and very minimal issues with framerate. 0.31/0.31 stars.

ART QUALITY: The game has great art quality, with good anatomy and impressive detail. Both the adventurer and the tentacles are high-quality. Not really much else to praise about it. It would be difficult to improve the art without completely changing the artstyle, but settling on this is still appreciated. 0.9/1 stars.
SCENE QUALITY: The one scene this game has is really high-quality, with animations, diverse sound effects and the like. The only problem is that there is only one pose. If there were a couple more poses for the adventurer then this would've been better. 0.5/0.6 stars.
VARIETY: The game fulfills an average amount of tags for a niche-type game and executes them all well, with no tag really being left unrepresented. 0.5/0.5stars.

DIALOGUE: none
TRANSLATION: This game has an official publisher translation, which is obviously very good. 0.25/0.25 stars.
VOICE ACTING: The adventurer has a wide range of noises she makes. The thing is, these are only really moans. Still, this is a simulator game, and the adventurer does have no dialogue, so the standards are really low as compared to a visual novel. 0.45/0.65 stars.

Like everyone else has said, there's not a lot going on in this game. It's a classic point-and-click tentacle game. But it is very well designed. The girl is cute, you can customize her and her facial expressions, it's smooth as butter (most of the time) and the animations, expressions and feel of the game is incredible. Very well polished.

Really good simulator game. You can customize pretty much every aspect and animations are pretty good, including facial expressions and reactions.
It doesn't do anything necessarily new as far as tentacles, it doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, but it sells you a really good wheel.

It also doesn't waste your time if you don't want it to.
Progression is very fast, but even this can be adjusted by controlling sensitivity in the menu, but admittedly, I enjoyed it at the default amount.

TLDR
You pay for the art and good live 2d animation
Not really as a game

Gameplay
A simulation of you rubbing her out of her mind

Story
You are a tentacle monster
and a succubus teaching you how to be one
with free unfortunate adventurer Chan that you can customize

Sex scene
Almost of everything you would see from tentacle rape genre.
Except gore, stuck in a hole, and nerve paralyze thingy.

Not usually my type of game but the animations are excellent and the light corruption system gives it a nice spice. Unlocking everything is a bit too easy but it doesn't get stale that way.

I was really surprised by how much customization there was in the game. You can change basically anything about her expression.

A truly amazing experience.
...For about an hour or so.

The sheer level of character detail and expression, as well as customization, is pretty much unmatched. But that's about it...

I really, really hope that is this used as a framework for a fully fleshed out game/story in the future. All it needs is an actual purpose for it to be the next best thing, but for now it's just feels like an (admittedly great) proof of concept.

It looks good, it sounds good, it has customization, and it has almost everything a tentacle game could want.
But it's really short, even with the arbitrary shop system being obsolete because you get literally hundreds of times more money than it takes to buy EVERYTHING before even getting a single orgasm.

I dunno how to rate this one.

On the one hand, it's exactly what it says it is. A touch the girl game, but with tentacles. It has a fair number of kinks within that niche like egg laying, hypnosis, bad states. aphrodisiacs and tons of cum. The art is really well done, the voicing is good, there's some minor customizations and her expression changes as you train and corrupt her more.

On the other.. it's not much of a game, even by touch the girl standards. The progression is blazingly fast, where you'll be constantly getting notifications of some status effect happening. You go buy an upgrade to see some new tentacle or effect and by the time you've looked at it for like 5 seconds you have enough currency to go and buy more stuff.

So it's basically just a really well animated tentacle scene where you get to click some buttons to get different effects with a singular pose. For trainer type games like this Fallen Shinobi or Unholy Torturer are more enjoyable imo, but this does have a niche as only tentacles. I guess you could do worse.

Great animations, lots of customization minus clothing options. There is not a lot of content overall, but the content that is available is very polished. One of the best of the simulation genre in my opinion, easy 5 stars.

I don't even need to explain this great game. Takes 5 minutes for you to find out yourself. Just download, play, if you like it, buy it.
The only thing bad about it I can say is the breasts don't look very natural and the injections that supposedly can change their size don't work.

Didn't expect to see this sort of hentai tentacle sim that is this good. I think of myself as a tentacle hentai connoisseur and this ticks basically...everything I want, I guess? From a tentacle hentai, of course.

The lower body and mouth/throat interactions seems satisfying, but it could do more with the chest interactions. Personally I'd love to see more breast sucking and nipple tweaking or flicking or whatever's related but like I said, this has mostly everything I want. I would love it if this game has more characters to simulate with or broaden the character customizations even more, or maybe even allow the community to contribute to the contents. Just from its base alone, this game really seems well made, albeit short in terms of its variability. Some new voices for the Adventurer-chan would be nice too to be able to express different sort of personality.

There are some more out there that are tentacle-related that is not in this game, of course, but I guess at that point it will be the extreme ones, which I'm not exactly really into. By far, this is the best tentacle hentai game I have ever seen. Yours, a fellow tentacle hentai doujin reader.

My first thought about this game is that it's a one trick pony, since there is really just one animated scene, but my god is it one great scene. There is a good amount of compatibilities to satisfy your tentacle fetishes, the voice over is great, the animation and art quality is easily one of the best out there.

The flaws of this game is about everything else. There is no story (would be neat to have some dialogue from the girl). The gameplay is short and repetitive. It's too easy to fly through the progression and corrupt system. The UI feels too clustered and unrefined(?) to navigate through. It also be great if there are more than one sex position, although quality over quantity would be the counterargument there.

As an overall game it's probably a 3. But as a fap mateiral for tentacle lovers, it's a 10.

Really good sim that doesn't waste your time with any grind. Sfx and voice acting are good, and there are plenty of settings to mess around with. Only complaint is that I was hoping to have a little more different in the tentacle settings, but I can't complain since we tentacle enthusiasts have been in a famine recently. I hope they add more customization in an update .

tl;dr: this is a pretty "meh" h-game with some seriously wasted potential. It's held back by a terrible progression system and no way to reset progress, as well as the use of a single female character with limited customization options.

The good:
-Some great art, and appeals to a few different sub-fetishes, such as hypnotism and brain-fucking.
-A fair number of customization options.

The Mediocre:
-Really, really short. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as not every game needs to be an 80 hour grind-fest, and I appreciate a game that knows what it is and respects the time of its players, but it wasn't handled particularly well here. More on that later.
- With the fair selection of options to interact with the female character, it's a shame that none of them go too deep. Your options for vaginal are "fuck with a tentacle", "fuck with an ovipositor tentacle", and a clit stimulator. Your options for oral are a tentacle or a tentacle that feeds her slime. She then gets a swollen belly until you have her shit the slime out, which is... A choice.
-Hypnosis involves an eye stalk staring at her, and for some reason preventing any other interaction with her face such as using the oral tentacle. The hypnosis tentacle also doesn't really make it clear that it's doing anything other than preventing oral, at least until you've had it sitting there staring at her for a while. As someone with a hypnosis kink, this is a bit disappointing.
- There is a decent number of customization options for the female character such as hair color, eyes, etc, and you can buy her stockings and gloves, but that's it. The deepest you can really go is having the same character with different color eyes and hair, and make the hair slightly shorter or longer. It would have been nice to have more options on body shape, skin tone, hair style, clothes, etc. The game makes it look like there are broad customization features by making the menu full of ways to customize small things in a lot of ways - for instance, I found myself asking why I have 6 different ways to change her pupils, but no way to make her tan or change her nose?

The bad:
-The UI is not great. The game is largely based around status effects (i.e. increased sensitivity, cum addition, mind-broken, etc) but the icons themselves don't say what they are. There are around 40 of them, and you can turn them on or off on the fly. The problem is that each one is just an icon, and doesn't list the name or effect. To find that out, you have to go to a different sub-menu that lists those debuffs, then go back and find the icon that matches the list you had just looked at. The icons themselves are pretty non-descript and don't do much to help you figure out what they can do - for instance, multiple icons are just a series of hearts of varying numbers, sizes, colors, and arrangements, which correspond to completely different effects.
-I touched on the game's length earlier, but a big issue is the rate of progression. You earn currency by reaching certain milestones, leveling up body parts up to a max level of 5, and causing orgasms. The game lets you manually move your mouse back and forth to move anal and vaginal tentacles, and you get the currency ridiculously fast by moving your mouse rapidly. It also features an auto-thrust feature for those who aren't looking to have a mediocre H-game cause a repetitive stress injury, and even using that you get money so quickly that the in-game "shop" is really more of a way to turn on upgrades than any kind of a progression gate.
-Along with there being only one female character, there is also only one position. I'd imagine that it would have been a challenge to implement more, but it's still a real shame that there isn't any variety there.
-The biggest miss here is the lack of replayability. For a game that took less time to 100% than this review took to write, you would think they would have a "new game" option, but the only way to start over is to find and delete the save data for your game, which is actually insane to think about. You can use the hypnosis stalk to lock her sensitivities to level 1,and you can go and manually click each icon for status effects to disable it (why do japanese H games love repetitive stress injuries so much?), but to re-progress her status effects you would need to go back and re-enable them one by one. Which is to say that there is basically 0 replayability on a game that, even taking is as slow as possible, would take roughly 20 minutes to fully complete.

I don't know how to rate this, there's only one very well animated tentacle rape scene, you just select the tentacles and then click on auto, you can adjust the speed, size, etc... and that's it, it gets repetitive after 3 minutes. The people rating this a 5/5 are delusional and have no criteria to measure the best games on f95.

Short but on point, i would argue about giving it 4 stars cus game is too fast and too easy, you can unlock everything very fast and after that there is no much else to do, however animations are pretty good, there is a lot of customize options and facial expressions, so for what game is it deserves a 5.

Short but really good game. With awesome animations, lot of options and simple but entertaining gameplay. I also love art, voices aren't annoying like in most of simlar games. It's must-play for any Tentacle Lover

One of the best tentacle sims I've ever played. The emotion system is well done, but you gotta use the hypno mouth tentacle to change it. make a backup of the expressions.json in userdata, since it's easy to over-write emotions accidentally.

For 1.0.1, please add tooltips to the buffs. Hard to see what does what at a glance

Possibly the best tentacle game that I've ever played this year! Despite it's one scene simplicity that's all it needs to pack as much polish as it needs. Features, Customization, Auto function (So you can play with one hand) It's a great a H-Game.

IT IS THE BEST, it has different tools, different expressions and it has an achievement system.
The only thing is that leveling up is very fast and obtaining tools is very fast.
I think it lacks a level of difficulty and maybe different poses.
But since it is SO GOOD I see a lot of potential in it.
