The Adventures of HILLS Steam Charts & Stats

S tier game. You can tell they went all out when making this one. I bought it while it was on sale. It'd be worth it even at full price.

This game is great, from a long time consumer of the H type rpg maker games, this is one of the top tier for only 13 dollars. I recommend, there are better games, but if you already played them, this is a great addition to your library. 9/10, great solid entry, keep up the good work, I enjoy'd this one a lot.

high quality in every regard but the game itself, this is a positive review because you can unlock all scenes in the recollection room after one completion

I loooove this game beside the H-scenes. After helping the receptionist to bring supplies to the old guy who still believes in his two sons to be alive...… I need mooooooreee I want to play as an actual adventurer and find the two sons. Needs more quest, needs more monsters, needs more locations especially the location where all three kingdoms tried to subjugate, needs reputation system and being able to have the guild stop the corrupt mayor and lord, and needs bandit subjugations and raids (NEEDS MORE WEAPONS LOL AND BEING ABLE TO LEVEL UP MORE), needs a class system but instead or having skills already built for it you can train with others or train by yourself to get skills and being able to fuse the skills into a new skill. Maybe more H-scenes and being able to access the massage parlor or being able to work there. Bunny Bar... Is there a reason we can't keep working after two days working there? (it was already explained but still want to be able to access and working there). Is that one adventurer in day two Miccoc sleeping? we looked at their gear and the blade glowed? there should be an event trigger for that or something similar. THIS IS JUST MY OPINIONS lol

Going from micoco to this.. maybe the no combat was better, the thing that is quite clear to me while playing this.. is the dev doesn't quite understand hp and damage ratio, you'll slowly get chipped down with any fight you enter and some fights are unavoidable(dune feels.. impossible even after the nerf), on top of the time limits and.. very limiting things you can do per day, i don't think this is a very good rpgmaker game, stealth feels odd as when their asleep it doesn't seem like they actually are and will spot you anyway, there is also no real clear indications of what you should be doing(unless you look at the.. memory crystals to view the conditions for the endings)

[h1]General Experience[/h1] I was initially a bit mixed on The Adventure of Hills. Story is alright and the adult content is some of the highest quality you'll come across, but it's the gameplay loop that gets me; The time limit doesn't really add to the game, as you generally follow the key daytime events and mess around at night. Because of the strenuous time limit, you will not see everything on your first run. The game is definitely built with New Game+ in mind, giving you the chance to do missed events. Because of this time limit, you do not feel the same amount of freedom you would have with actual sandbox games and the playthroughs ending up shorter, getting you 2-4 hours depending on the ending you're shooting for. I still found the game to be enjoyable enough to recommend, especially seeing that the Dev is actively patching the game and addressing feedback. I've adjusted this review several times and they patched away most of my early issues. [h1]Sequel Improvements[/h1] It's not actually a sequel in the traditional sense, but the heroine Micoco has her own game prior to this. It's more of a point and click adventure with puzzles. You can play Hills without touching it, but can explore it if you want a little more lore on Micoco. Hills is improved upon in every way; It has more CGs (they are not animated in Micoco), more gameplay, and more depth overall. [h1]Adult Content[/h1] You do NOT need a patch to access the full game. The adult content is the game's biggest strength and it is of the highest quality. The artwork is top-notch, everything is animated, and all the scenes are voiced. There are 30ish unique animated CGs that match that high-quality, not including the endings or the game-over CGs. There is a memory gallery available from the start, and you can unlock all of the encounters during new game+, however endings and achievements will not be unlocked this way. The Steam page does list what type content to expect, so keep that in mind. On top of that, some of those game-over CGs are brutal (but nothing too shocking). [h1]Complaints[/h1] You have a 9 day time limit, which is quite short, on top of them having only a day and night cycle. Unless you did a great job at managing your economy, it feels like you can only get enough money for the better endings by saving it for new game+. It also doesn't help that some optional events for the main ending are time sensitive; I do not think you will naturally get progress towards the better endings unless you constantly check the Town Guide. Failing to follow the blue-text town guide suggestions will lock yourself out of various endings. [h1]Replayability[/h1] The game does feature new game+ as it's core replayability; Each playthrough is maybe 2-4 hours, with a total of 5 endings to strive for. The time goes down quite a bit if you're skipping dialog, so subsequent playthroughs will end up going by without any issues. That said, they all play the same and you will see all of the story by following the true ending. Anything else is just skipping steps and getting a different ending CG. While it has 5 endings, I don't think you will *feel* like you got something more out of the other playthroughs. You do need all the endings to 100% the game, however. [h1]Achievements[/h1] The achievements require several playthroughs. Each of the 5 endings has an achievement, it should be possible to get the other achievements within those 5. A lot of the achievements are related to the end of various chain quests or repeated events and are not hard to get when you understand the loop. It's a time investment, but the game wasn't that hard to 100%. [h1]Technical Issues[/h1] I didn't have any game-breaking issues. It's an RPGmaker game, so you can expect the usual jank. [h1]Value[/h1] The base game is $15, and at this time it also has a 10% discount for the release. If you just clear the game once and unlock the CGs in NG+, you're going to get like 3ish hours of content and it will be hard to justify the cost. You will get most of your value going for all the endings, but I felt like the playthroughs were too similar to each other to feel meaningful. I do recommend it, the scene quality is phenomenal and the first playthrough was enjoyable.

Overall, as far as these games go, I'd say this one was really good. The story was engaging enough, there was some pretty good plotting and choice elements, and I'd say the characters seemed well designed and interesting enough. I also really, really liked that we don't have to go to some sketchy website for a patch, so that's a huge S+ as far as I'm concerned. While this game isn't super grindy, unless you get to a good ending on the first try (which I sure didn't), you will need to replay at least some of the content and battles, whch can get a little grindy -- I sort of wish battles and events that were already won on a prior play through could be auto won, or that there was an option for this at least. Also, while I'd say the game is good for having lots of little secret paths, another huge plus, while the content in terms of quantity isn't bad, it could be a larger game world . . . but maybe I'm just hoping for a sequel? I feel like we could certainly have that. Another minor critiscm is that while there is a descent amount of fetish adult events, there seems to be no consensual events -- am I the only one that wanted to let Hills go on a nice date or something . . . idk.....but anyway, I can offer minor critiscms and certainly some wishes, but this is a well designed game and it was engaging enough. I also wish Hills could have more opportunities to be a thief -- and more that would not end in bad results automatically It could make a fun mini-game! And also, also, I sort of wish the game+ would be explained in story some how . . . it sort of feels kind of strange that we just restart with a ton of loot and xp with no known reason. . . .but yeah -- If you are looking for a good adult rpg and have free time to play what will turn out to be a bit long, then I'd say go for it 3.5 out of 5 bags of stolen loot.

It's the same as dozens of other games. The same situations. The same events. The same progression. The same story. The same sequence of pictures. The same dialogue. As repetitive as my previous paragraph is, so to is the game. There is nothing new to find here. The typical RPG maker images and maps combined with a painfully predictable storyline, flat uninspired plot and a rinse and repeat of images and events you can find elsewhere in many, many, many other games. I like a lot of this company's games but there is clearly a drought of creativity in the field. Very few devs are willing or able to challenge themselves. Everything looks the same. Stories are not even pretending to be different anymore. Everything follows the same tired formulas. It's like all the devs bought the same guidebook online and are just copying the steps by rote. No one seems to be excited to create anything new and just settle for shaking the dust of what others have done before, then stamping it with their company name and pawning it off. This has all the surprise of a Christmas present wrapped in cling film. It's as creative as giving Dad a tie for father's Day. It's about as fun as going to a museum exhibit where every piece is a variation of an equilateral triangle. It's less entertaining than peeling skin from a sunburn. If you've never experienced this type of game before, or just had one or two experiences, this may still be fresh for you. To me it's just the same thing we've seen before with the barest minimum of changes so it can pretend it's different. A disappointed no from me.

Harassment, bondage, rape, prostitution, and the usual stuff of depravity. Fully animated & voiced. Art style is pretty good, around 30+ scenes. It's up to you how you play the game to let her and her friends avoid sexual stuff or go full down to it via your decisions and actions. Sadly no sex stats. Game is pretty good and I definitely recommend 7/10.

Great game, with smooth and engaging gameplay, backed by amazing art, pretty solid VA, and well-made animations. However, in my case, the overall experience was kinda hard to fully enjoy due to the strict time/action limits and a story that gets quite grotesque (even though the extensive lore is deeply appreciated). It’s crazy how little time you get compared to the sheer amount of things you need to do or collect. If it wasn't for that stress, it would easily be a 10/10. Still, as a big fan of Vanilla, it was incredibly gratifying that despite how difficult the game gets, there is at least an ending where you manage to save yourself from those freaks and get an achievement for it. Tip: If you're struggling with the language at first, the 4th option in the main menu allows you to change it.
