Shiro no Yakata

As I write this Shiro no Yakata is still being worked on so as far as I am aware, more chapters are coming. Still, I came across this lewd action platformer and as it said that it was a “horror game” I knew that I had to try it out. To be honest, the game has something about it that made me want to keep on playing. Was it the hot monster/ghost girls? Perhaps, but I do think that they have something here, especially with the scale thing going on in the combat.

Like A Familiar Friend

One of the things you will read if you look into Shiro no Yakata is that many people do compare this with Forrest of the Blue Skin and while I do see the similarities here as far as the art style and even the combat go. I do feel that this is more of its own thing. Still, I will say that if you did enjoy Forrest of the Blue Skin, chances are you will appreciate what the developer has done here.

They Want Your Life Force

There is not a great deal of story in Shiro no Yakata, but I do think that the premise is kind of fun. We play as a brave little guy who was foraging in the woods with his friend when they suddenly had to seek shelter in this old creepy mansion in the woods. Well, turns out that there are creatures in this place, and what they need to survive is our sperm and they are going to get our sperm no matter if we consent or not. What we have here is a mixture of ghostly like creatures and monster girls and as a lover of both those things, I did get a kick out of the premise. Although, the version of the game that I played certainly had more questions than answers so I hope that the story gets fleshed out in a future update.

The Scales Of Justice

At its heart, Shiro no Yakata is a lewd 2D exploration game. You need to make your way around this creepy place looking for a way to get out. The twist is that you have these monster babes trying to track you down and have sex with you to get your essence if you catch my drift! You have a weird scale thing that allows you to attack the monster girls' “weak spots” and this is what you need to do in order to survive. Sure getting banged by these big boobed chicks is great in theory, but these girls like to go hard and if you just let them bang you, you will be all used up in more ways than one. It is a pretty basic game and wandering around trying to avoid (or not) the monster girls is pretty much ¾ of what this game is about.

Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

The pixel art in Shiro no Yakata is super charming. One of the first videos I saw of this game was of a giant tiddy chick chasing down the MC and then smothering him. That right there made me want to play this game. They say that it is a horror game, but apart from being dark and moody, I would not say it is a horror game at all. The constant sex in the game is fun and due to the high quality pixel art, it has a real charming appeal. One thing that I do think deserves special attention is the sound design. The rain, the footsteps, and the other ambient sounds are very well done and are easily the creepiest aspect of the game. The squelching and sexy sounds are also a lot of fun too!

Pros:

• I found the premise of the game to be fun
• I loved that big tiddy girl that chased me down
• The scale thing is kind of interesting, all be it underdeveloped
• There is a certain charm that the game has which is hard to describe

Cons:

• As I write this, the game is not complete so the story is very unfinished
• While I liked the game, there is not a great deal of depth to it
