Arcana: Heat and Cold. Season 1 is a lewd visual novel about a young "spellbreaker" that wants nothing more than self-respect, but winds up in a grand adventure instead.

Walk from point "A" to "B" and mash through text boxes. Arcana: Heat and Cold. Season 1 is a linear point-n'-clicker game with heavy dialogue. It's necessary to collect information, items, and to employ one of two "magic" to advance dialogue (by drag-'n-dropping the correct icons into the dialogue boxes.) Don't bother exploring the game if you're not asked to: outside of a hidden nude in Chapter One, you'll only be wasting your time. While it would seem that you have a choice in how the story unfolds, choice is an illusion (and the devs weren't afraid to say so in one of many nuanced, fourth-wall breaking dialogues.) There are a total of eight "chapters" to see, each building on the last — I suggest playing them from start to finish for the best experience. There's a sex-scene for every chapter, and they can reviewed as desired from the "Gallery".

The main character (whom represents you) is a newly recognized spellbreaker, a prestigious class of magic user specialized in dispelling dangerous spells or magic-related illness. Arcana: Heat and Cold. Season 1 follows an adventure he has which starts with a doctors visit, which leads to a surprise encounter with a hidden (and super sexy!) fox tribe, which ends with a narrow escape from the law (or so he thinks!) Nearly every woman he meets winds up stripping down and sucky-sucking for one reason or another — it's safe to say, all of those years studying as a breaker of spells payed off!


The titlescreen and user-interface look great! Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed by the fancy interface (fit for a professional production). You may adjust audio and display preferences using the function keys (as stated from the titlescreen). However, I would have much rather seen a traditional "options" menu in addition to keybindings. You can review sex-scenes from the "Gallery", complete with dialogue. The artwork and interface are bomb, but the in-game sprites fall flat for me; I've seen them before, and as they are not fully original the sprites seldom match the hand-drawn artwork that represents them.

- The Goods-
There are eight sex-scenes to see, each including several panels of static CGs arranged in a comic book-style. I wasn't a fan of the presentation, but the artwork is stellar and the panels look great. Seven of the scenes showcase consensual sex between the protagonist and one of his clients, typically as a form of "payment" for services rendered — there is one rape scene, but both parties enjoy the action (and it's not rape if you like it!) Half of the scenes involve a human lady, and the other half some form of monster-girl (generally a fox-girl, or in one case a spider-girl)

I definitely recommend this game! However, it's important to note that Arcana: Heat and Cold. Season 1 is less a game and more a visual novel that plays like a game. The funny thing is, there's virtually no need for the "game" part at all — Arcana: Heat and Cold could have been a visual novel and virtually nothing would have been lost. The story goes through many twists and turns, and each chapter builds upon the last (leaving one interested in what happens next.) It was a delight touching on previous chapters long after completing them, as previous events were tied together with creative exposition. Full price or not, I think this is a worthwhile buy.
