Editor's Rating
Story - The game's premise is undeniably intriguing, however, players often find themselves meandering through a complex web of quests that sometimes push the story into the background, leaving it feeling episodic and lacking coherent direction. The main character maintains a level of charm, but the context in which they operate can lead to jarring moments. - 61%
Visual - Ah, the eye candy! Though it may not revolutionize the genre, *Dying Dream* offers visuals that strike a balance between appealing and mediocre. The designs capture a certain gritty charm that fits the game’s thematic undertones well. Character models are sufficiently detailed, and the environments have enough character to immerse players in their distinct settings. - 70%
Engagement - Engagement is a slippery slope in *Dying Dream*. The initial thrill of exploration quickly sours into a grind fest that can turn even the most dedicated players into mere echoes of their former selves. Players have expressed frustration over the sudden introduction of tedious mechanics that require grinding for skills and attributes. - 49%
Core Loop - The core loop of *Dying Dream* finds itself spiraling into the realm of mundane grind. The balance of narrative choices mixed with mechanics feels off-kilter; players want to dive into the juicy narrative but often get stuck in the quagmire of resource management and repetitive tasks. While there are nuggets of fun to be found, these are often overshadowed by grinding mechanics that demand too much. - 55%

i like this a lot… as expert of playing different eroges, visual novels, and dating sims since i have memory of live haha… i hope a new update come soon, the soundtracks, the history, and everything is cool, its remind me when i play Being a DIK, and Shrift that are a like this one… i dont say Persona, Until Dawn or compare with Baldurs Gate and Pathfinder they are differents type… this one deserves 8/10 because its was too easy… saying more will be spoil, i want to tell more but it will be a lot of text, and i dont comment much only when its too good and i like it so much…
The game says two things: Skip mini games and B) SKIP FIGHTS!!!
Guess what the fucking water gun FIGHT is you abject retard dev!!! (No one moves as fast as the second round… so you’re literally going Neener Neener to the player you fuckwit) Yes, I did just see in your hints section above that there’s SUPPOSED to be an option to hide behind sheryl = Where the fuck was that supposed to even be??? There was a take cover behind a planter wall for me. Again: Minigames are NOT OKAY… MINIGAMES THAT INVOLVE TIMING ARE DOUBLY NOT OKAY!
That’s point one.
Point two is the fact that you have a HAREM game – and you STERILIZED the fucking player. Do NOT do that.
Point three: There are too many things you have to do – and you STARTED THE FUCKER SCREWED OVER!!!
You want to make me fat and have to work out – fine. You want to make me have to not fail a test – Fine.
PICK WHICH ONE YOU WANT ME TO ACTUALLY DO!!! (Also fuck you for the fat guy will never get laid but his sin is LUST bit) * That’s just you being an ass. You cannot “just train regularly” Why? Because the fucking teachers screw you by saying if EVERYONE ELSE in the remedial class fails – you fail automatically! Why. Just, why the fuck would you be that level of dick; and then make it worse by making two of those assholes take THREE WHOLE DAYS to actually convince. If I have to go jog every fucking day to get anywhere here’s a tip: MAKE IT SO THE GAME GODDAMNED ALLOWS ME TO DO TWO THINGS IN THE EVENING FROM THE FUCKING START!!! Problem solved. It’s not that hard.
RPG is about predominantly two things: A) Building your character (read: The MC) the way you want, and B) Having all the time in the world to MAKE the character the way you want. Fuck time pressure. Fuck detrimental “balance” bullshit. It’s where Wrath of The Righteous and Kingmaker fail (I like the concepts – but there are SO many things wrong with those games that bork any replayability – I should know, I’m STILL trying to beat even one of them, once. Years after they came out – which ironically is supposed to be their draw) You want to tell me it will EVER be a harem; then GIVE ME THE TIME to do things MY way. And don’t make the girls insulting assholes from the start. There’s only so much attitude ANY guy is going to be willing to take before we WILL tell X girl to fuck right off and be done. Ellie should be aware of that, and Sheryl needs to fall off a damned cliff for what she’s pulled in game. Captain Narcoleptic is just rape waiting to happen… come on man.
There IS such a thing as too much RPG when the RPG bits you choose to focus on are BULLSHIT. I don’t need fifty freaking personality types genius; I need the option to not have to wait until my balls freeze off to see whatever the hell you cooked up as a SEX scene (by which I DON’T mean foreplay >.< Foreplay NEVER counts as a SEX scene) and by the way if everyone at the fucking school hates Joe outright = Why the fuck should the player even remotely be interested in saving the world??? Come on man, use what little you probably have (maybe) for an actual brain. You NEED to give players a VIABLE reason to want to invest in this game. In these characters, and I've said it before and will again: It's NOT JUST ABOUT HOW THEY FUCKING LOOK. How they act and how they treat the MC specifically will count for a FUCK TON more. There is NOTHING in this game that makes me think the world IS worth saving. So call me when you're willing to ACTUALLY take things seriously.
boring,really
Has anyone figured out how to get level 3 agility?
Well, this is an obvious overkill in the number of mechanics of the game why so much extra in a porn novel in the end just got bored and you delete it for what to suffer sex scenes, even some are terrible!
Even a turbo retard like you should be able to figure out how to open a menu, but apparently even that’s expecting too much from you.
I bet if there was some cuck shit in there you’d miracle that bitch open, amirite? 🤣😂
