~necromancy~Emily's Escape Reviews

No sex scenes for the, well for the entire game since you can't even complete it, there's a box at one stage that you have to move and jump on to but there's two monsters that are always going different directions making it nearly impossible to pass and you can't even get ON the box in the first place. Dying in this game is boring beyond comprehension and just straight up frustrating because nothing actually happens. you just get sent to the menu, there's no system where you have to fight the monster to get it off you like other games like this do, you just get sent to the menu screen. Also climbing ropes is stupidly difficult, most of my deaths were from those dogs where you have to climb the rope to escape from because my character WOULD NOT grab the rope. I've never been so pissed at game that i refund it but this game is so annoying and unplayable that i actually had to. Ps, i feel genuinely bad for the people that wasted any money on this game.

[i]Be sure to use the patch to enable 18+ content.[/i] As far as the art and scenes go, extremely satisfying. The actual game controls are slow and clunky, though they foster a sense of weakness and helplessness that frankly is its own benefit. I wouldn't enjoy this style of control in every game (a more Metroidvania style like UnHolY DisAsTeR or this developer's Summon of Asmodeus are really more my overall preference), but it was an enjoyable change of pace here. On the downside, lack of combat abilities means that the entire game is a stealth mission with the occasional simple or bad puzzle to mix things up. I can't give it as strong a recommendation as UnHolY DisAsTeR and it never receives large sales, but I would still recommend it at full price for the art and scenes alone if you're a fan of the genre.

While the character sprites are high-rez, the animation is lame - basically marionette animation. Backgrounds are high rez... but repetitive, not rich at all. Hiding is absurd. You can crouch down behind a bush, right in front of a mob, and it completely loses track of you. Or if you're on a slightly higher patch of ground, but otherwise in full view of mob -- it suddenly can't see you. And I'm realizing that I really hate games where the PC moves really sloowwwwwlly. (You can sprint, but there's a stamina meter.) Didn't try the patch, so no comments on that.

It's a shame but while the graphics are beautiful, the price is that the animations are woefully lacking. The game over H-scenes are just hi-rez copies of the ingame scenes preceding them. Most importantly however, the pacing and gameplay is borderline atrocious. You will be constantly failing to assassinate, or hide, or heal, or jump, because it's apparently a part of the game to have to spam some of the functions 5 times before they take. And it's, soooo.... slllloooowwww..... ppaaaacccceeedd... omg! Game's full of places where you take several minutes to walk through what should've been 10 seconds only to die to a cheap death yet again, and then waste another 30 seconds waiting to load the animation, then the gameover, then back to menu, then continue the game, and then do the several minute run again. It's a shame, because I really like the idea of the game. The main heroine is basically entirely helpless and just uses healing and stealth to get by, and the atmosphere and music is great. But playing Emily is 10x more aggravating, annoying, and ultimately boring, than it is fun. I mean I rarely rage quit games in general but this? All the time. I just do not have the patience and stamina to do 3 minute runs at snail pace to get to where I left off, 15 times in a row.

so it's certainly unique in it's genre, i'll give it that, some sort of stealth backstabby game. The biggest problem with it, is it takes way too long for a enemy to patrol it's route. so you'll make some progress and then wait, make some progress, then wait. this is extremely dull, it actually gets better later, but considering i've beat the game in 2 hours that's not saying much. it's one hit your dead and back to your last checkpoint type of game play which is not great in and of itself, but add on that, that it takes you back to the start screen every time. some of the checkpoints are severly poorly placed and the controls can result in you throwing yourself off a ledge over and over again, having to see the same scene of a door opening and a person walking to the start position taking a slow walk to pad out your wait. If you've come for the adult content it's fairly well done, I've certainly seen worse, I'd even say the artwork is rather good the animation could be better but again, I've seen worse. but really the big reason I'm saying don't get it, is at this time in steam's history the adult patch can be on steam and should be. no one should have to follow a link placed by someone else out in the web with the added risk that brings. If the adult patch becomes available then i don't mind recommending this game, but only if it's on sale cause it is short.

This game is all about skills and escaping with some puzzle game parts. I got a bit disappointed at first after playing this game, because I got in looking for some "plot". There are almost no direct h scenes, and the game is quite hard. I finished it in 3 hours, There were at least 10 frustration moments I got when playing. The point is, this is a game for people that are patience and doesn't care too much about h scenes.

Decent gameplay for a H game but with the dlc whenever a scene plays you cannot exit the scene and must close the game to get out. Quite a shame as the scenes are well animated.

There are a decent amount of very harsh and negative reviews for this game. That said, having played through it all, I would recommend it for anyone who is interested in a somewhat light survival horror take on the standard side-scrolling platform. As with any review this will be somewhat biased as it is my opinion, nonetheless I would recommend it. Game-play: While clunky and difficult to get used to in my case, the overall game-play was fairly enjoyable in my honest opinion. It largely consists of navigating fairly mediocre platforming segments with some puzzles and a fairly tricky but in my mind enjoyable chase section toward the end. That said, if you are not a very patient player, this game will get on your nerves very quickly as several puzzles and sections require multiple failures to complete and some times just to figure out how you are meant to go about it. There are 2 endings, a good ending that takes a decent bit of effort and is pretty satisfying in my opinion, and a bad ending which is absurdly easy to get once you get to the end. Also, be sure to look through the reviews or to just google a patch for this game as when you get it right from steam, it will not show any sex scenes. Get the patch so that you can experience the game as it was meant to be played. Art-Work: Absolutely wonderful, yet simplistic. As long as you are into darker scenarios in while characters do the deed, you will probably be able to appreciate this art and the simple yet oddly satisfying animation. Replay-ability: Nearly non-existent. If you wanna fully complete it you can go through and find all the hidden notes but otherwise, you likely wont be opening this game unless you either want to try speed running it, or wanna get off... the latter scenario probably more likely. Price: I bought this while it was on sale and in the Pink Peach bundle. That said individually 11 bucks seems fair enough as long as you can stand the game-play. I think it would be worth that price having played it over the coarse of a night, if only for the continent access to artwork. That said, it is better safe then sorry, and if you are on the fence about getting this game, wait for a sale. TL;DR: Wonderful artwork, frustrating if rewarding game-play, and fairly priced in my opinion! Take care, stay safe, and thanks for taking your time to read this needlessly long review of a porn game I like. xD

The game is censored. ...even WITH the patch. ...oh, this info isn't enough for you? Ok then: The animations are stiff and REALLY 2D, the world looks kinda sterile, the controlls are imprecise and have dropouts (on the other hand they can react too quick after each other) and the scripted scenes (not the cutscenes) are bugging if you die over and over (for the cutscenes for example). The whole game feels like in slowmo. I so wished for a fast forward button. Playing by pad is also funny, because the mainmenu is reacting to the paused Character instead of the options. So alltogether it feels and plays like a game-makers Flashgame. Only the graphics of the PC, NPC and cutscenes look good. Payable asian games are such a big disappointment nowadays. I totally admire the culture of playing, fun and beautiness. But what on earth is wrong with their games? Or is it just the cheap by-products they import to the world while keeping the good stuff for themself? I dunno anymore what happened to the art- and conception-heroes of my childhood. But as long I had this game on my wishlist, I regret already having spent almost 4 Euros (while reduced) now. I don't even dare to try to play it without the patch.

The game feels way too slow, but that would't be a problem if you didn't have to time your jumps while the retracting footholds keep messing with your nerves. You can spend hours trying to make it up a cliff and the game makes sure you fall down. After almost making it up and falling down to the bottom again I decided to stop this shit. I'm not a masochist.
