TL;DR

This game is an absolute must-try, especially with sound and music on.

The story is being told in an understandable way for the reader, and it keeps the mystery.

The graphics look great.

And the story is really interesting, with it being creepy and mysterious at times.

The girls are also quite cute.

Lengthy review

This is all my opinion from the game.

From first opening the game to the menu, I was already delighted with what I experienced.
Normally I turn down the music, but the choice of music for the menu in this game fit perfectly with the atmosphere the game is trying to create. The little scribble sound when navigating the menu is also a delight to my ears, though it is a bit too loud.

Graphics

The background is absolutely stunning, with its warm yet natural feeling. The choice to make the train scene in the beginning a looping video is a great decision.
Alongside the great sound design, it really pulls me into the experience.

0.1

Sadly this quality doesn't always persist through the rest of 0.1, at other points the lack of proper shading becomes really obvious, making the images look flat.
Or the background will not make use of a blur.

Sometimes you can find rough edges caused by a lack of Anti-Aliasing, or the FOV is too high, or the scene composition isn't done as well.

These tiny things can make or break an image.

Though these are all minor things, it's by far not bad enough for me to discredit the game.

0.2

0.2 has a serious increase in quality compared to 0.1.

Most of the issues I had with 0.1's graphics have been fixed, such as the lack of Anti-Aliasing.

However, the bloom in the beginning is too high in my opinion.

UI

With the decision to only show parts of the full text at a time, it really makes the reading of the story approachable for people who can't focus on large bodies of text, also adds to the mysterious feeling.

And the minimalistic yet drawn feeling I get from the UI is also great.

Music / Sound

The music is great, it's not some NCS bull crap, but proper music to fit the atmosphere.

The SFX, such as the train, is also done quite well, making for a more realistic experience.

One thing I have noticed is that the music doesn't repeat smoothly.

Story

The Story is REALLY interesting.
I have nothing else to say except that it's a great read, it's both creepy and mysterious at times.

Girls

The girls are also really cute, greatly designed.
But the extreme breast size and extreme hair colors can be quite weird at times. Such as Skye's full on yellow hair and breast size at certain angles. (Though this is all my opinion on the character design)

That's all I can really say about it 😅

Conclusion

This is a great game with a really cool story and cute girls.

It is definitely a must-try.

With your screenshot program?

The company behind Honey Select 2 [Illusion] (which this game's graphics is made with) doesn't allow other games made with their game on steam.

Even though the greedy bastards already completely cut off this game from their company and even changed name/identity.

I believe the best solution to this problem to be switching to Dropbox or wetransfer.
Both those solutions don't put restrictions on the downloader, but the uploader (W.M) would have to pay for the service.

And absolutely do not choose Google Drive as the main source, as Google Drive is both terrible for the uploader as the downloader, especially for large items.

I have also yet to figure it out

As of now there are no other download methods, but WM could put it on his Google Drive (which is WAY worse than Mega in every conceivable way, so it's not recommended)

The game size is currently under the 5 GB, so there should be no trouble using mega to download it,
you can make downloading a bit easier by using the mega desktop app (this is not me shilling, it actually made my life easier)

Masquerade has the uncompressed images.
Meaning they are of original size and quality.
Which is a must-have for 2k viewers and great for 1080p viewers
but it comes with the downside of having a larger file size

and the "creator" is just the title of the game, has nothing to do with Masquerade edition

don't forget the 4 bore

You'll never be able to fully change the name,
as it would simply ruin the game and its story.
The creator gave the MC this name for a reason.

In chapter 3 you get a section where you go kinda undercover so you're allowed to change your name there

in chapter 3 you can change your name

This is a common issue on Windows 11,
So I'm going on a limb and say you're running Windows 11.

Extract the game files using 7zip instead of the crappy windows default extractor.

I know that it's not the game's fault as aside from the lack of permissions it all works fine according to other MacOS users

maybe there was a failure in the download process and thanks to that the data is incorrect.
Try redownloading it, and if that doesn't work, then I don't know what does.

I recently had to fix this issue for another user, so I know what to do.
It does not have the proper permission to run.
So you'll have to give it permission with chmod in the terminal like so

chmod a+x [GAME]/Contents/MacOS/*

however, the person which also had this issue mentioned that this works: 

 chmod a+x DOGMA/MacOS.app/0.2+.app/Contents/MacOS/*

And then disable the gatekeeper to open the app.


The reason that this happens is because archiving it in a .rar or any other archive formats removes the permissions from the .app file.

This issue is already known by Dia, but I'm not sure if he'll be able to fix it

It works perfectly for everyone else, and everything you need is in the downloaded package.

  1. What OS are you on? 
  2. What version did you download?
  3. What EXACT steps did you take to run it?

Also, what does "you can’t opera this application" mean?
Since you said it's the exact wording, I'm assuming it's not a typo.

Hmm. I don't own an MacOS/IOS device, so I'm not sure,
but I read online that devices with the M2 chip should be able to run it.

I'll go ahead and tell DiaLive about this issue, maybe he can help, in the meantime can you join the discord server for further possible assistance.

Did you download the MacOS version?

(1 edit)

No way to know at this point. 0.2 just released and that just introduced most of the characters.

But I think it will be harem considering the MC already has 8 girls under his command

This is a VERY RARE, very high quality game.
I love it!
And can't wait for the next version!!

But there are quite a few grammar error's maybe ask someone to double-check the script

i think i understand what you mean now.

Itch.io only allows files up to 4GB, since these files are 4.8GB Caribdis needs to use third-party sites (eg. Mega, Google Drive) to host the game files

what do you mean exactly?

You can just download the update and run it,
and delete the old version.

Saves are saved outside the downloaded folder, so you don't have to worry about porting over saves to the new version.

Just finished this game.
The graphical quality might not be on par with Eternum, but that does not mean it's any worse!

This game is so beautiful, the H scenes were amazingly done, the design of the girls are unique and mesmerizing (especially Lauren, Aiko and Carla 😍),
the story was really well written.

And the ending made me feel quite sad, which is rare to happen for me.

Overall:
how the heck is this not on the popular page of every website!
It's so good.

Just finished playing 0.4.

This has to be one of the BEST R18 visual novels I have ever seen,
you could get away with charging money for this game.

The story, graphics, and character designs are all brilliantly done.
I have never in my life been so immersed in playing a visual novel.

DruidCaell's comment pretty much sums up what I have to say.

Can't wait to play 0.5!

I just wish there is a “Gallery” button in the main menu.
