Detailed Review:

Key Features:
📜 Compelling Narrative: Experience a story centered on love, loyalty, and the emotional struggle of watching your girlfriend face corruption.

🕹️ Exploration-Based Gameplay: Navigate an RPG Maker map with various zones to explore, tasks to complete, and secrets to uncover.

🔞 Explicit Content: Unlock graphic and diverse adult scenes, featuring themes like NTR, corruption, and BDSM.

🔄 CG Replay Gallery: To access the CG Replay Gallery, players must unlock the CG Room (Kai building in the downtown area). This requires completing the statue quest, which involves praying at several statues scattered across the map.

🎯 Multiple Endings: The game offers multiple endings, including four hardcore NTR endings and one normal happy ending, depending on your choices and actions throughout the story.

🌟Overview:
"Hers'Alms" is an NTR-themed RPG Maker game that immerses players in a gritty, emotionally charged story. Players take on the role of Akatsuki, a hardworking protagonist trying to navigate life’s challenges while uncovering the truth about his girlfriend Meiko, whose good intentions may lead her down a path of corruption. The game blends exploration, time management, and decision-making to deliver a narrative that questions the boundaries of love, loyalty, and sacrifice.

🎮Gameplay:
📖 Player Objectives: Manage time carefully by performing daily activities such as working, reading books, bathing, or even intervening when Meiko is molested. Your actions will directly affect her behavior and the story's outcome.

⚙️ Progression System: Time advances gradually and is influenced by your actions. Key events, such as Meiko’s corruption, unfold over two months, with her behavior and attire changing drastically if left unchecked. Gathering money before the deadline might not be enough unless you also prevent her from being corrupted.

🗺️ Exploration: The game features a detailed RPG Maker map with multiple areas to visit, reminiscent of "Scars of Summer" but with fewer locations. Assets are well-chosen, providing a visually pleasing environment.

🎮 Mini-Games: Engage in activities like the misnamed "Chess" mini-game, where you must align five pieces before your opponent while blocking their attempts. Winning rewards you with money.

📱 Phone Features: The in-game phone evolves as you progress, potentially unlocking applications and tools. Completing the statue quest appears to be key to summoning the "God of the game", who provides real-time information about Meiko’s whereabouts and activities.

📍 Replayability: Meiko’s location is marked on the map with a chibi-icon, represented by a miniature pixel art version of her face, giving a general idea of her whereabouts within a specific zone. Multiple endings and diverse outcomes based on your actions encourage replayability, offering opportunities to uncover hidden content and alternative story paths.

📖Story and Depth:
"Hers'Alms" excels in its ability to evoke a strong emotional response. The story portrays raw human emotions like despair, helplessness, and bittersweet acceptance. However, the pacing is uneven, and character motivations sometimes feel underexplored.

🏆Verdict:
The moment I saw "Hers'Alms" on Steam, I felt an irresistible pull to dive into its world. And let me say, I was pleasantly surprised by the game’s stunning hand-drawn CGs and the captivating beauty of Meiko, the central heroine. The fact that the game is completely uncensored only adds to its appeal, giving it a raw and genuine charm that fans of adult-themed games will appreciate.

The creator of the game, based in Canada, is incredibly approachable and fluent in English. "Hers'Alms" is available in English, Chinese, and Japanese, and the opening scene being written entirely in Japanese is a deliberate choice, not an oversight. While some untranslated text remains in other parts of the game, these will be addressed in upcoming updates. It’s clear that the developer has poured immense effort into this project, even hiring multiple artists and coders to bring their vision to life. However, they rely on player support to fund further improvements.

I encourage you to overlook the minor flaws and support Kai Studio in their journey to refine this debut game. With your help, they can deliver quality updates and perhaps even create future games that build on the potential shown here. Let’s help them turn "Hers'Alms" into a success and set the stage for even greater achievements to come.

Good:
👍 Challenging NTR Themes: Deep and emotional narrative.

👍 Beautiful CGs: Uncensored, hand-drawn artwork.

👍 Multiple Endings: Five outcomes boost replayability.

🛠️ Ways of Improvement:
👎 Unclear Progression: Tasks lack clarity.

👎 Untranslated Text: Some parts remain in other languages.

👎 Repetitive Gameplay: Loops can feel tedious.

@EdenGenesisWs, Thank you very much for your answer and your review. Please tell me. We will find out the code from the PC from the plot? To prevent the events of NTR, do you need to arrive in time to where the heroine is?

@Green_Tea Yes, there is a happy ending in Hers'Alms if you successfully protect Meiko from being corrupted by other men. The key is managing your actions and time carefully to prevent any NTR moments!
