The Seven Districts of Sin: The Tail Makes the Fox - Episode 1 Reviews

I wanted to like this VN based on the premise, but the writing put me off pretty hard. It's quirky and occasionally funny, which is good, but it's also full of little exchanges and exposition that bloat up the storytelling while adding very little value. It reads like amateur fiction that didn't have to go through a good editor eager to put a hacksaw into every unnecessary word and sentence.

If I was to write my silly and very embarassing fantasies into a game, this is would be it. It reads like my daydreams of being a succubus in hell, complete with things you never want anyone to know about. Bad jokes and bad taste. It is voice acted, not too badly. The art is very pretty and... I'm sorry but Luci I can't take seriously in that outfit. I spent the first few mintues of this game laughing and thinking I must have hit my head and passed out. I only recommend it and paid for it out of sick guilty pleasure and...*ahem* "personal reasons" but I suggest a normal person looking for a good VN to stay away. If you're a depraved pervert and want to read subpar daydreamy fanfiction then go right ahead! This game has some good moments but overall I found that jokes went on too long, were cringy, had too much disjointed dialog that was painful to read and difficult to understand where it was actually going. This seriously needs a better writer if they plan another episode. This game is full of wasted potentinal and all the routes are boring and for the price no, absoutely not. Not when there are free games with way better storyline and dialogs existing on steam.

[i]The Seven Districts of Sin: The Tail Makes the Fox[/i] is the first episode of a fantasy/comedy dating simulator; you play as Lilim, a fox-spirit that also happens to be an auditor for the Hell Government. She's designed to investigate a case of "soul laundering" and she must report her results to Lord Lucifer. Will she find the culprit? Or will she find something else? Oh, and this game was made by Reine Works, the same developers of Blossoms Bloom Brightest. This visual novel is focused on humor: there are bad jokes everywhere and funny situations happening a lot. The title is self-aware of its own cheesiness and constantly talks about it. Particularly, I enjoyed that. Sometimes it's nice to play a novel that isn't much serious and has more of a comedy base. But if you don't like those kinds of situations and dialogues, I highly suggest you pick another game; you're going to get angry at Seven Districts of Sin. There are two male (Gaki and Saleos) and two female (Anzu and Kali) routes, each one featuring two endings. There are also two bad endings [spoiler](my favorite one is where a piano falls on your head lol[/spoiler]. My favorite character was Saleos, he's so cute! His route was also sweet. Now I'm very curious about the second episode, I hope it's going to be released soon. The art style is pretty. I got a bit sad that there's just a few CGs and most of them are chibis. The backgrounds were alright, not memorable but not bad. The BGM was good, a bit repetitive after a while tho. This game is also fully voiced and I must say, I've loved the voice acting! It was very charismatic. Also, it only took me 4 hours to finish all the routes and get all the achievements. 7/10. Overall, I recommend getting this game on a sale mostly because it's a bit expensive for a few hours of gameplay. Despite that, I had fun playing this novel.
