Description

There was an extremely baffling incident at a certain apartment building where all four of its residents were found deceased, with their stomaches cut open and internal organs removed. The dense miasma in the building suggested that there was a spiritual influence behind it all. Since the police was swamped with cases, the young onmyouji Haruhisa was instead dispatched to conduct the investigation.

At the same time, the demon Anneliese arrived from England to partake in the otaku culture that she admired, and agreed to help him in exchange for permission to stay permanently in Japan. However, she was more interested in his lower half than solving the case. Her fierce advances made him feel uneasy due to his lack of experience with women.

Thus begins a cohabitation life in a cursed apartment between an onmyouji seeking to solve a mystery and a demon who just wants to make out with him. Will Haruhisa be able to shake free from the temptation or give in readily to it?

[From Hau~ Omochikaeri!]

<report>First off, before playing this be aware that only main girl has character sprites, all other girls are limited to 1 CG only.

Regardless, this one has everything you could ask for in a VN: An intriguing plot, great art, a killer opening, and a reasonable length. Sadly, what it really lacked was a proper ending: It felt very rushed and extremely anti-climactic in it's final moments... It's like the devs hit their budget at last minute and panicked.

Still, everything else was so well done that I just had to give it a 9. I just wish we had a bit more closure at the end.

The UI/menu can be a bit buggy, so fair warning: DO NOT open the CG viewer before completing the game. I'm not sure if this is a common bug, but all CGs were unlocked after my first run/ending, and I was spoiled.

<report>Some eroges are good because they have a compelling stories. Others are good thanks to their fantastic art. Others are good because they have quality adult content. But great eroges are the ones that can pull off the three at the same time, and those that do are few and far between - which is why I'm ranking this one near the top.

Let's start with the story. You're put in the shoes of a paranormal investigator who meets a love-starved devil girl and work with her to dispel the curse of a haunted apartment complex where a horrible mass murder occurred. To do so, you have to collect clues about the stories of the victims and the events that led to their gruesome death. It's not just a... Read more »

<report>Kimagure Temptation was OK. I didn't really care about the porn; I was only in it for the murder mystery - which I'm glad to say was worth picking this game up for. There were a few flaws, though. For instance, it was a bit predictable to anyone who has read just a single mystery novel before. It also gave off the illusion of being a detective game when in truth, it really wasn't. You don't have to figure anything out by yourself; you just pick the correct dialogue choices (all of them are unrelated to the mystery) and eventually everything will be explained to you. In addition, the whole eroge aspect of this game just felt out of place. It felt like the artist designed all the characters... Read more »

<report>The title artwork of this VN is pretty misleading: You'd be expecting some nukige/sex-focused VN, but instead, it's actually mainly a supernatural murder-mystery detective type of plot that got some elements that aren't for the faint of the heart. And that's really cool!

Similar to Nanairo Reincarnation, which was from the same studio/creators, underneath the fun part there is an actual interesting story. The only sad part is that Kimagure Temptation is pretty short - there is only one girl with whom you can... you know, and while there are some bad ends, good ends and a 'true' end, the endings are still rather similar.

Another criticism would be that the true end ends pretty quickly and... Read more »

<report>Spoiler-less review

TLDR: Decent supernatural murder mystery with plenty high quality H-scenes, sudden twist, ok music and overall a very decent character-focused VN that deserves your attention.

I decided to give this VN a go because of the poster girl... just look how cute and sexy she is! I guess you're questioning if you should try it out as well and if this will be just one of those brainless nukiges about one single heroine with an average playthrough of 8 hours... the short answer is... YES, this VN deserves your attention!

First off - this is not a nukige with no plot, it's a plot heavy eroge that is not just your typical slice of life/ dating sim moege but a supernatural murder... Read more »

<report>Kimagure Temptation

- Synthesized impressions
Kimagure Temptation is a mix, between what you would expect by looking at the girl in the cover and what you are not expecting, by just reading its synopsis.
Having a dual nature is no guarantee of quality, but Kimagure Temptation is adept at establishing a contrast between these two realities, while also connecting them, in well executed ways.

The star of the show, Anneliese, has her behavior and nature perfectly justified and the more you read Kimagure Temptation, the more you feel like things are falling into place.

- Context of the review
This time around, my reason for reading Kimagure Temptation (Kimagure from now on) is rather unique... Read more »

<report>Part 1: A Game in a Bottle

I found this to be a really interesting game from a conceptual level, and I haven't really seen anything quite like it in the VN space! Curiously, I'd describe Kimaten as being very similar to a "bottle episode" of a television series - being a work that is extremely and purposefully narrow in setting and scope (allowing for extreme cost savings!), and leaning heavily on its other storytelling elements to still deliver an engaging and satisfying experience. I feel like this description fits Kimaten to a tee; the entire narrative of Kimaten takes place within the claustrophobic confines of this small six-room apartment complex. The backgrounds are incredibly drab... Read more »

<report>The maim heroine has nice chemistry with protagonist. Animated heroine is awesome even if a bit scuffed with that vtuber motion capture. The art is par for the course except in who has Anne has super special treatment. Iquite like rosy and specially cooley design. You can tell a design is good when it makes you want to keep staring at it. Good voice acting further elevates the heroine. VA really brought her character to life. She is pretty much better than Sora from 9-nine in every way unless you are blinded by incest.

Normally i don't like this super moe stuff but her gimmick about being quirky mostly works even if it does seldom skirt the line into the territory of being annoying.

<report>In short, this game, Kimagure Temptation, is highly recommended; it is an extraordinary nukige-ish eroge which does everything that should be done, are wanted to be done and unable to be done for an eroge. It is a game whose value estimated by quality substantially exceeds the price on the label. It is definitely not an absolute masterpiece, but it is a miracle of energy-saving-ism.

First, the wonderful graphic performance makes it able to overshine a lot of competitors. The game animated all H-scenes and the spirit of the heroine. The spirit of the heroine has a lot of body language and detailed expressions. This makes the narration vivid and vital and grants hentai parts significant... Read more »

<report>As of 1:38AM 03/05/2023, I have finished the game 100% (meaning I've unlocked all scenes and ending). It took me three nights to complete. My experience playing visual novels has been limited thus far - previous games had too much gameplay for my taste - but this entry completely changed my outlook on the genre.

The animated and voiced content is truly exceptional and keeps players hooked from start to finish as they unravel a complex story that features elements of horror, mature themes, violence, and NSFW material all rolled into one cohesive package. The inclusion of a cute succubus as the heroine adds an extra layer of intrigue to the game and left me feeling captivated from beginning... Read more »
