Light and Shadow - Doppelganger is a lewd RPG that follows two different stories; one in which Nora becomes a paladin, a paragon of good; and another in which she embraces darkness as an assassin.

Thus far, Light and Shadow - Doppelganger is a typical RPGMaker experience with light puzzle and stealth elements. The game is quite easy, even on "normal" difficult with only the slightest grinding. Though too easy for my tastes, it's a nice entry point for newcomers of lewd RPGs and a wonderful break from Kagura Games' grind fests.

While the "good" path offers more "hack and slash" gameplay RPGMaker titles are known for, the "bad" path does offer stealth sections. . . but it kind of doesn't. Regardless of path, players should expect to perform some grinding, accept quests and fight, fight fight. Don't be deceived by anyone that suggests stealth is a meaningful gameplay component.

To note, this title does emphasize non-consensual intercourse with "watersports" and uh, just remember the characters are eighteen because the game said so!!! Players disinterested in. . . young characters will certainly prefer the bustier "paladin" playthrough.

The artwork is decent, although it falls shy of "professional" -- it more closely resembles a series of "commissions" than premium content. Sex-scenes are unfortunately repeated a lot, but as long as you actively pursue progressing the story repeat content isn't such an issue. There's only one caveat; you need to lose, lose lose (which is easier said than done when combat is a cakewalk).

Something I love about the artwork is the inclusion of backgrounds, which places the gallery in this game leagues above most lewd RPGs.

I'll be honest, I've barely sunk my teeth into this game. I suspect I'm no more than a third of the way through my first playthrough, and that's just for the "Assassin" story arc! I am currently writing a full length article on this game, but it's a little harder to write about than a typical RPG.

With that out of the way, I'm having fun! Once again, the combat and puzzles are very easy. I find myself holding the "enter" key most of the time, and the puzzles are seldom rewarding. As an RPG, Light and Shadow - Doppelganger is "meh", but I love the novelty of multiple story arcs. The sexual content could be better implemented, but it's a niche combination of content seldom seen on Steam (and uncensored!)

Once again, full review incoming, these are just my initial thoughts.
