The Shadow of Yidhra is a lewd action sidescroller about Delta's escape from horny zombies and her quest against their creators.

Gameplay
Go right and shoot everything that moves! Enemies drop “Cores” when they are defeated, which are used to purchase bullets and upgrades (or “accessories”). Ammunition is limited, so it’s a good idea to aim for the head and use the knife for lessor threats. Well, at least for the first fifteen-twenty minutes — after that, you can pretty forget melee exists. Even if you somehow manage to run out of ammo (and Cores), you’re able to force enemies to respawn by returning to previous areas. There are a variety of enemies, each with predictable movement and attacks. Some enemies move quickly, forcing you to carefully time evasive maneuvers (which consume limited “Stamina”). Enemies are deadliest in crowds — don’t get surrounded!

Story
Delta awakes in the midst of catastrophe; a virus has wreaked havoc on the world, rendering nearly everybody as mindless, sex-crazed zombies! Stuck inside a laboratory complex, she battles her way through hundreds of former staff. Along the way she meets Rei, a young girl seemingly unaffected by the virus. Delta takes her under a wing, escorting her through the chaos. As they uncover the secrets behind the zombies’ origins, little do they realize everything is according to plan.

Visuals
The titlescreen looks great! It features an animated, scantily-clad protagonist acting badass (with a panty shot for good measure!) From “Settings”, you may adjust audio, control, display, and language preferences. Unfortunately, the English translation is pretty poor (but you should be able to grasp the story and characters). Provided the adult patch is installed, from the “Gallery”, you may review unlocked CGs (but once you beat the game, the full gallery is unlocked). Unfortunately, the user-interface can’t be hidden when viewing CGs. You’re unable to scale or zoom into animations that are used in-game (which are somewhat difficult to see compared the full-art CGs used for “game overs”).

- The Goods -
There are seventeen animated sex-scenes with dialogue and variations for climax. These scenes are played whenever you lose the game (depending on what killed you). Alternively, you may play only the animation (allowing you to progress and climax by rapidly mashing the mouse button). As you take damage in-game, the protagonist’s clothes are torn away. Sometimes, she is knocked over, allowing nearby foes to rape her. There are a total of twenty-five animations that are used in-game. Thankfully, you don’t damage as they play. In the event you’re forced down (and force [banged]), you’re free to enjoy the show until you mash the appropriate keys to escape. None of the sexual content is consensual: the main protagonist is raped by a wide variety of creatures, including bugs, dogs, zombies and tentacles.

Verdict
What a great big disappointment. This game represents a fraction of content that is available on the DlSite release. In other words, The Shadow of Yidhra on Steam is heavily censored (as if mosaics isn’t censorship enough. . .) WhitePeach doesn’t offer Steam users an adult patch or DLC. Thankfully, somebody published a guide on Steam detailing a way to play the full game I thought I paid for. But that’s not all! This game is broken. I was planning on reviewing this title as a “non-adult” game, but I couldn’t even beat the game. I had to go online to find a tutorial on how to evade a game breaking bug. Not only has WhitePeach screwed Steam users out of sweet, sweet boobies, they’ve also screwed them out of a functional game. When this game is patched (and working correctly), it’s an alright game. It’s repetitive and grossly unbalanced, but it’s kind of fun shooting stuff. It’s too bad the only time you get to see the adult content when you lose — and saves are so few and far between you don’t ever want to lose. Until WhitePeach fixes the damn game and coughs up a patch, they’re on my [bad] list.

As of 4.19 update released on 19th April, the game doesn't need any patch and is already uncensored from the get go.

Saw a DLC patch for this - perhaps it's the adult patch?

That's actually not the "official" patch. Check other reviews in Chinese. Despite the majority of assets being mosaics free, unfortunately the dev still left some censored. You can also get the patch from our group Nukige; we also have another patch to mitigate those mosaiced assets left by the dev. :)

First thought oh thanks they need to uncensored this game
Tusunkus Apr 16, 2021 @ 1:09am 
Thanks for the heads up! I hate that censored shit. Game looks okay but not for 10 bucks if it's censored with no patch.

I saw the post, but if I'm not mistaken it looks like a download of the game, not a patch for the Steam version. It's too bad, because the full game looks great!
