STORY
There are rumors surrounding a mysterious tower that if you can slip past the monsters, you can find a highly valuable magic stone! The stone will be perfect crafting material and make her rich beyond her wildest dreams!
There are no other humans in the tower, so there’s no dialogue between characters. Due to the focus on monster sex, most scenes are pure sex without conversation. The story is practically nonexistent. Even after completing the game and finding the stone, the player is only given a two sentence epilogue before the screen fades to black.
The game is mostly about its puzzles. Usually they require action, but sometimes they require logic. For example, if baseball equals nine and tennis equals one, what does football equal? Think about it!
GAMEPLAY
Midnight Scar was created with RPG Maker VXAce, the most common and reliable version of the RPG Maker engine. Use the arrow keys to move. Press Z to interact. Press Shift to run, but only outside of dungeons.
The gameplay is simple. Monster sprites move left and right, or up and down across the screen. You need to learn their patrol patterns and avoid them. This makes for a unique memory game that is super fun. If Lina is touched by a monster, she’ll lose some of her clothing. If she is touched while naked, she gets her ass fucked, and sent back to the start.
At the end of every dungeon, Lina will have to fight a boss monster. Defeating the boss monster will unlock the next puzzle. If you are defeated by the boss, you get a hentai scene.
Whether you’re pushing boulders, or sliding tiles, new mechanics are regularly added to the puzzles to keep things interesting. As you master these mechanics one by one, you’ll start to feel like a real talented thief!
This game had a lot of potential but was too short to capitalize on it. Many mechanics are under-used. The entire experience can be completed in under two hours.
GRAPHICS
The art is drawn in Japanese anime style. Lina is a total babe! She wears sexy short shorts, has gorgeous blue hair, and enormous tits! I only wish she had more than one outfit.
There are 12 sex scenes in total. Each scene employs up to three CGs. There are also 10 pixel animations that feature monster sex. Sadly, the character sprites are too small, so the animated sex isn’t very enticing.
The entire game takes place in the monster tower. Each level of the tower has a unique aesthetic, ie. grassy forest, rocky dessert, etc. The areas are mostly colored with earth tones gray and brown, which does get boring.
Sometimes pixel animations do not play when they’re supposed to. And once Lina enters a horny state, it’s impossible to get her back to standing normally. These weird bugs aren’t game-breaking, but can be annoying.
VOICE ACTING AND SOUND EFFECTS (SFX)
Midnight Scar has no voice acting.
Sound effects are minimal, and most of them stock assets. The entire focus of the game is to avoid enemies, so the silence is quite natural. The few sound effects you’lll hear are absolutely fantastic! From stock library moaning to the rush of cum after a monster ejaculates, the sexy audio in this game is always pleasant on the ears.
MUSIC
The soundtrack has 9 songs. Crafted digitally, each tune makes heavy use of flute and bass guitar, which is common and easy to produce in computerized programs. The music is fine enough, but doesn’t inspire.
HENTAI
There are 12 sex scenes in total, each featuring a base CG and at least one variation. There are also 10 pixel animations, but most of them are of low quality and not very erotic.
Since you’re mostly fucking monsters, there’s barely any dialog. In one scene you can watch Lina get digested by a monster, and in another scene you can watch her rub bugs on her pussy.
The best scene is the orc gangbang! Two muscular monsters double-team to plow Lina. Her tits flop left and right while she gets her filling of dick.
This game could really have used sex stats to track Lina’s sexual experiences. It’s just missing a little something more to make the sex scenes more impactful. Without erotic dialogue, these scenes will be hit or miss for most players.
CONCLUDING WORDS
Midnight Scar is a fun erotic puzzle game with an emphasis on monster sex. The protagonist is gorgeous and the game mechanics are engaging. If you’re looking for a fun little hentai game, this title is the perfect fit.
