Story:

When I woke up, there was a woman I didn’t recognize.

I had lost my memory and could only remember my own name.

Then she said:

“Find the Hero Neo.”

“Hero Neo” — the one said to have ended the “Great Calamity” that occurred ten years ago.

A hero whose name is known to everyone in the world…

But I soon find out that he has already passed away.

The journey with the heroines I meet — to uncover the mystery of “Hero Neo” and recover my lost memories —

Gradually transforms into a grand tale that reveals the truth of the world.

Features:

Dungeon Dangers: Tackle procedurally generated underground labyrinths filled with mutated beasts and collapsing traps. Prioritize loot over haste, but heavy armor slows your escape when cave-ins strike.

Moral Choices: Negotiate with slavers masquerading as recruiters or sabotage rival explorers’ gear. Short-term gains like rare gems could lock you into dangerous alliances—or spark vengeful vendettas.  

Skill Trees for Survival: Upgrade endurance to endure poison gas attacks, or sharpshooting to disable traps from afar. A “Scavenger” trait lets you pilfer enemy corpses, while “Charmer” distracts guards with witty banter.  

Naju’s Shadowy Mentorship: Your enigmatic ally Naju offers cryptic advice—follow her leads to expose corruption, or question her motives when she demands risky favors. Her loyalty shifts based on your choices.  

Incident Unleashed: A routine dungeon raid spirals into chaos when a sealed entity breaks free. Fight to contain the breach, or exploit the chaos to steal forbidden artifacts that could alter the city’s power balance.  

Comments:

I actually enjoyed the first way more than the second, but I never really get into the "wholesome headpat simulator" type of HRPGs that a lot of other users here really enjoy (and fair enough, to each their own!). It's just not really my thing, and I honestly found the second game quite dull compared to the first but I do tend to enjoy HRPGs with "darker" undertones.Gran Ende 1 was a mostly depraved slow burn corruption game with a female protagonist who starts off prudish and ends up boning the entire town.Gran Ende 2 was a mostly wholesome headpat simulator with a good guy male protagonist who just wanted to take care of the girls around him.Gran Ende 3 looks like it will be a mostly depraved slow burn corruption game with two female protagonists who start off prudish and end up boning the entire town.It's interesting that the developers have flip flopped between genres every time they've released a sequel to this franchise. Wonder if the second game didn't sell as well or something?IN SUMMARY: If you liked the first Gran Ende but didn't care for the second, I have a feeling you will enjoy this third installment.

I played the Japanese version a while back. It's definitely one of the better Japanese H-RPGs to be released in a long while. You get a lot of choices with the content (and aren't forced into any of it, iirc), a lot of the events 'evolve' as you progress through them, and some of the events even give you a choice as to what you want to do (e.g. handjob, blowjob, sex). Also, most of the events have repeatable versions rather than being the usual 'one and done' type events that most of these games do.The game's biggest problem is that you can see all the sexual content by about the game's midway point. Which means you then have another hour or two of dungeon crawling and cutscenes without any new porn events to look forward to or break up the main plot progression. I kept hoping the developer would update the game with more events for the second half to help with the pacing but it's been months and from the looks of it they're working on their next game instead.

First one was a solid little RPG with decent enough everything. Nothing special, yea, but entire cast was likable and was fun to play through.Second one was a bit different, same general gameplay, but the girl was your party member and it's a very loving....ish, slowburn corruption of her.Generally, both games don't go over the top, nonsense whoring that makes zero sense. Also, all of the titles have had pretty good translations.Really think about it, how many RPGM porn games have good translation, good characters, decent story, decent gameplay? It might look average, but compared to the RPGM genre as a whole... it's not so average.
