Others - Completed - Aurelia [v1.0.1] [Mirthal]

★Chef's Kiss: top-tier unique art and good gameplay content - an adult game done right, A MUST PLAY

Pros:
+ God-tier pixel art
+ Dayum this art, can't stress it enough
+ Gameplay (minigames) is fun
+ Decent writing
+ Achievements
+ A good balance of vaginal/oral/anal amounts of scenes
+ A variety of LIs
+ Subtle but good humor in dialogue
+ Epic-NPC-Man song

Cons:
- A bit too grindy, but not that annoying
- Character personalities are cliché, but it's a porn game so this gets a pass
- Some quest progressions are bugged
- Some minor grammatical and text errors

Overall, the pros outweigh the cons by a landslide...and the cons aren't even that bad to begin with. Again, a MUST PLAY. The game is still in development but it already shows great promise and potential for more scenes, etc.

Love the art.
Gameplay is a bit directionless at first.

Took time away from titties to read a ramble about bees. One of my eyes tried to roll, while the other tried to cringe.

5/5 for gifting me that new experience.

This game is all around just very, very, very good. The art is amazing, the animation, although are short loops, are very well animated, all the girls looks amazing and there is a great variety of different fantasy races so there is something for everyone, and I feel like that quests aren't so obscure that you need to ask for help on the forum or look up a walkthrough.

The one nitpick I have is with the minigames because although the are not too difficult, they seem to go on for longer than they maybe should to pad out the play time. Again, this is a nitpick and doesn't really reduce the overall enjoyability.

One of the beautiful if not the most beautiful pixel art game out there, even if you take away the porn, the game is riddled with gorgeous artwork that you can screenshot for your wallpaper, the mini-games is also pretty decently made to boot and doesn't overstay it's welcome in the game, so you don't have to worry about anything.

Even if you have something against adult vn, you can't deny that the pixel art that exist here is a true art.

Love this game. It's not long right now (around 15 hours) but still pleasant and feel satisficing.

Girls are cute and lively, have characters and kinks. They're integrated in fantasy setting and every sex scene has some uniqueness.

Minigames are actually very fun! First time for me that I spent so many times on them inside of erotic game.

I like how this game differentiates itself using it's art, quests, and dialogue. Very reminiscent of old rpgs. Sometimes I get lost as what to do next, but it is kind of fun exploring around over again. Can't wait to explore the new areas.

As I keep finding many kinds of Adult hentai adventure games with a medieval fantasy setting. Aurelia is the "Near" Perfect game no one has even expected. Not even me.

You play as a "Nameless" Adventurer and was given a key and house by your proud father. You find a shiny amulet and meet a woman sorceress named Ivy, as you try to find out what the heck is happening in this place.

There are 3 Gameplays. One is a point and click adventure, and the second is a quick time event RPG. and 3 are fun minigames. You explore the map as find things to do to get money, and some events. You can be a bartender, and archer, a defender, harvest plants, fishing, play blackjack, and fighting monsters in a realm. You also have a level up mechanic and stat attributes that can make the gameplay minigames a lot easier.

The hentai/adult scenes are stellar and artistically animated. You can easily tell when the hentai scene is coming. There are currently (V23) 12 women that you can romance and have sex with. They range from human and hybrids of elves, slime, plants, monsters, bunnies and soon much more in the future.

Of course everyone is going to have their favorites. My favorite human woman is Scarlet, as she gives a femdom and adventure vibe . Crystal is my favorite halfling elf that bets on her clothes in blackjack, and Amber a Dark elf prostitute/stripper and give a lot of exciting dance .

Is this game fantastic? Yes! Does this game have issues. Of course, to follow the branching path of that specific woman you romance is very complicated and you can easily get lost and keep going aimlessly trying without a guide, sometimes
There was a bug when talking to Janet (Shopkeeper), there will be no text and it'll freeze the game. The game is very grindy when you need a specific items that sometimes will and won't give you the item you need, from the minigames at the Tomb (fighting monsters), fishing, or defending.

You won't experience or find a hentai scene for a long time until the 10-20 minute mark, when you stumble upon one. (This is not an issue if you play this game for the story.) It is VERY Slow to get all of the features and when you get all of them, they're amazing.

Overall, an amazing game. People play this for the "Plot" but the highlight is the "Plot" itself. I played this from beginning to end and didn't stop when I reached the recent updated version content. Obviously a great recommendation. Maybe if they add a defeated hentai scene when lost to a female monster girl in the Realm minigame, This game would be a perfect hentai game.

The short of it is that this game is worth your time. It's not perfect but pretty darn close. The writing is excellent, the art is excellent, most of the mechanics are good. I like that you can easily access previous scenes.

What I don't like is the mini games. They are fine in and of themselves but there is just too much of them. For example Karos' defense: the mechanics are solid, but it doesn't really get more challenging after level 4, and you are expected to play for 20 levels. Similarly the dungeon is also much too long. I initially thought there were 4 levels, which I felt like was a lot already but there are many more levels and they get larger too. They don't get more interesting, just larger. You can easily spend over 30 minutes whereas 5 minutes already feels like too much.

Another issue is that you have no questing journal (at least I couldn't find it). You can have many active quests at once so it's difficult to remember who you should talk to when and what things are needed to progress the story. The wiki walkthrough is almost a necessity if you want to complete everything there is to do.

Some parts are strangely repetitive. If you want to use the garden you have to wake up Ivy every morning, which plays the same scene every time. The scene is nice, but after a few times I wish I could skip it.

Another issue is that of the magical items you can get there is, in my opinion, one item that is by far the most useful one in any situation. The other items don't come close in their usefulness.

These are all flaws I can live with so this game still gets full marks.

It's unique and it's great. Which is all I really want to say. Everything that I want to say has already been said in previous reviews.

I guess just a note for those looking to try this game. From a gameplay perspective, it's a bit like Mario Party. Rather than there being a real core gameplay element, it sprawls itself out into a bunch of minigames. This helps counter any feelings of grinding or boredom. However, it also makes the minigames shallow since it spreads itself thin. There is nothing in-depth about any of them. There's nothing bad about this mind you, but it may feel like there's not much to sink your teeth into, which hurts its replayability. As such, once you complete things up to the current content, make sure to keep your save around.

Wow, can't believe this has flown under my radar so far! Great artstyle, a lot of content for being only in v0.2 as of right now, and interesting characters. Definitely give this one a try! It'd kind of a rarity to have a game not built on renpy or RPG maker and with honey select models, being something different alone makes this one worthwile.

I've seen it said about other games here before, but this is the first game I've played on F95 that I would have enjoyed even without the NSFW. However, the sex scenes are truly works of art. It's very impressive what is done with pixel art. The animations are jaw dropping. Seriously, though, the game part of the game is also pretty sweet. I lost track of time playing the tavern bartender.

Version Played: 23.1 Public
I just reliased I've never put out a review for this game, which is disgraceful on my part, because this game is amazing.

Characters: Absolutely ace. The characters are all great, everyone is clearly distinct from each other, and getting to know them and their stories is genuinely entertaining. A question I ask myself in my own projects like this; would I want to play this, if there was no porn in it?

For Auerlia: it's an easy yes. There would be a bit less to do, and hopefully that would be filled with more content in such a situation, but I would play this game almost as it is as a clean version, with no knowledge of such filth, and I'd enjoy it. To keep the record straight, I'm very happy it is a lewd one, but yeah, it's fucking good.

Renders: Ace. This game puts the art into pixel art. Beautiful scenes and characters, all lovingly rendered in a damn high fidelity, and unique style. 10/10

Story and Writing: It's good. Perhaps the weakest part, If I really had to pick, but it's captivating enough, and enjoyable even without the porn, as mentioned. But the porn is fucking great though.

The Sex: Amazing. Scenes easily replayable and findable, bountiful gallery of gorgeous scenes. I didn't mention it in graphics, but the animation in this thing is just *chefs kiss*

Mechanics and Gameplay: Perhaps the other contender for the weakest part. There is a fair amount of varied gameplay here, if you consider the mini games - but the enjoyabilty is going to vary from person to person. I'm a fan of the tower defence and Melkors tomb as it's improved, but the running game really didn't do it for me.

The majority of the game is pretty classic VN/Point and Click - the graphics really making me think of clasicc point and clicks, even though I didn't play many of those. This part is done fantastically.

Closing Notes and Thoughts: I normally write longer reviews, and go a bit more in depth... but I've barely a bad thing to say about Aurelia. My criticism, constructive or otherwise, is entirely limited. Basically, you should stop reading anything on this forum, download this from Mithrals Itch page, and have a blast. I'm not currently supporting anyone on patreon, but Mithral is one of the devs I did support - and will again once I have more spare cash.

Amazing game. One of the best I've ever played truth be told. The art and animations are top notch, minigames aren't a pain in the ass and the writing is pretty good. Overall I haven't found a single thing to be upset about. It's worth playing and I can't wait for further updates.

Among the best games on this site. It gets enough things right that it makes up for the things it gets wrong. My theory is that grind is a feature not a bug when it comes to porn games. Think about it, you can easily just look up content online to fulfill your needs, but I believe many people actually want to suffer a little bit in order to get their reward. You can easily unlock the gallery with the full save or cheat, but somehow doing so does not feel as rewarding as having to grind for it. That being said the next step for games like this would be to have gameplay that is as engaging and difficult as it would be for a regular non-pornographic game. I believe that one day porn games will have as good of gameplay as non porn games but we are seemingly very far from that point still.

Just discovered this gem and honestly it became one of my favorite games. Why is it special?
First the pixel art is just on spot. Masterfully done. Gameplay is quite unique, and this is one of the first games where I LIKE the mini games.
I have seen many complain that it is grindy, but I think it is just the right amount of grind, nothing to overdone.
All characters are interesting every lady is unique there are no copy pastes both in look and personality. Some girls are really really adorable personality-wise. I can't name favorites, they all have their unique charm.
Gameplay is very innovative. There is no questlog, the mechanic with the lizard is just genius. Yes, sometimes one can get stuck, but never in a game breaking way.
What was most surprising and what a nice surprise is the dungeon combat.
Honestly the rogue like part outdoes most AAA games. Combat is really fun. It has just the right amount of interactivity, though still rpg syle. Many AAA games on consoles or PC could learn, where nowadays the typical rpg fights are all real time action game mashfests. This game balances it out perfectly. I was quit amazed, how much fun I had in the dungeon.
And since this is an adult game with quite a bit of lewd content: this part is really good. Variety, great animation and art and well thought out poses and scenarios.
All in all, I have to say this is one of if not the best game I have played for a while and I am counting console and big AAA games as well. Keep up the great work, I hope it will be even better than this by the time it is completed.

- Great pixel art retro aesthetic
- Interesting in-game world, story and characters
- Intuitive interface and gameplay, most the quests are linked and don't really need guides for it
Highly recommended

What a fantastic game almost close to being perfect.
Good:
This is an actual game, once you start playing hours pass as you forget this is just for fapping unlike your regular VN where you skip everything to watch the sex scenes.
Great Art style and nice pixelated animations.
Story is not that great but Ok.
Bad :
Did not like the UI at all, almost didn't even notice that I had to manually increase my stats because of all the cluttered and weird colored Inventory menu.
No proper hints to guide player except the lizard which is very vague and confusing

This game has:
1. Fantastic Art direction
2. Interesting gameplay
3. Actually fun minigames that could be used as standalone games
4. Great dialogue
5. Great story progression
6. The characters are fantastic as well
7. Last but certainly not least the sex scenes are A1

Go play this masterpiece and support the artist on patreon! I know I will!

The game itself is OK, lots of point and click puzzle stuff, if that's your thing you'll have fun but for me it was a bit monotonous. The art, however? That elevates this game straight to a 5/5. This is seriously some of the most talented art I've seen on F95 - and some of it's animated, too. I would pause and just admire the detail in some shots, the art is just that good. It would stand by itself even outside of a porno context. Definitely give it a try.

The artwork is top-knotch! As with most of these WIP games, there can be times where you don't know what to do next and the in-game quest tracker doesn't give you any help. But the mini-games are all fun, and the story is captivating. Each of the girls has a personality that comes through in the art even if you speed through the text, which isn't very dense.
