You’re a visitor at the Manor of Mystic Courtesans, a whorehouse packed full of busty non-human prostitutes!

STORY

You enter a luxurious establishment and meet a beautiful hostess, named Maria Sainte. She reveals how the manor runs, including its inner workings. I read through all 17 questions the player is able to ask. The information was intriguing, and got me invested in the manor even before picking my first sex partner. The manor feels like an exciting place to visit, not just because of the beautiful girls who constantly engage in pleasurable sexual acts. There’s a ton of activity going on – the courtesans even have cooking contests!

After you’re done asking questions from Maria Sainte, you’re able to pick your girl for the night. The place is known for its wide range of non-humanoid girls you can bed, ranging from “Pregnant Breeder Angel” to “Fertile Silkie Bird Woman”.

And…. that’s it. The game is basically 10 non-animated sex scenes. The game walks you through the whole journey. You get into the room, the small chatter between you and the partner(s), the playful teasing during foreplay, the rough intercourse, and even the pillow talk.

One thing to note though, each scene has a different main protagonist, so there’s really nothing really to follow once you pick a partner, no real romantic/dating elements, aside from a few shoe-horned lines to make the protagonist have a semblance of personality.

After each route you’re booted back into the main menu and you’ll have to start a new game to go through another scene. Each route is about 15 minutes long.

GAMEPLAY

Youma Shoukan e Youkoso is a short nukige visual novel and there are only a few choices the player can make. These choices barely matter, at most they change a few lines of text.

It has the same visual novel features, save/load, skip is all you ever need. But honestly you wouldn’t need to save cause 1 “route” only takes about 10-15 minutes at most, start to finish.

GRAPHICS

Youma Shoukan e Youkoso has a very distinct art style. All the characters have that western vibe going on. And all the characters are dressed appropriately for a brothel. The background art has a very distinct aesthetic, and they are very well drawn, so much so that I argue the backgrounds sport the strongest visuals of the game, as they create a truly intense atmosphere.

The characters share a similar body shape. Most of the girls are curvaceous and have a huge chest. I would have enjoyed a bit more variety, like a flat-chested trap with a huge dick.

There’s a gallery of the hostess, showing her adventures outside of the brothel. These artworks have a slightly different artstyle but they look nice and make for a nice contrast to the other scenes in the game. The hostess’ gallery is one big cocktease since there are no sex scenes involving her tight little ass.

VOICE ACTING AND SOUND EFFECTS (SFX)

The game does not feature voice acting and has no sound effects. The only sound you’ll hear in the entire game is when you hover through buttons, triggering a digitized “toot”.

MUSIC

The soundtrack comprises of passable quality orchestral background music. The sound room has 30+ different BGMs, some of them rarely ever used. Some of the girls have very distinct personalized BGMs, such as the fox girl with her distinctly Japanese style track.

HENTAI

The artists don’t shy away from roughing up the girls. There’s a lot of whipping, sex toys, anal sex, and a lot of cum. I was surprised and sad that the sex scenes never featured any juicy ahegao faces. Some good ahegao would’ve been the icing on this kinky cake of awesome.

There are so many fetishes packed into this visual novel, it is staggering. There are so many different girls, there’s bound to be at least one girl who hits your spot. That is to say, unless piercings turn you off, because all the girls have them. Some of the more hardcore fetishes featured in this game include bukkake, pregnancy, laying eggs, just to name a few.

There are also three futanari in the game, named Claudia, Nina and Ginrei. Their scenes are really something. Ginrei has a super off-putting dick piercing. Fun fact, there’s even a centaur girl! You can fuck a horse girl in the ass!

The sex scenes feature plenty of slight changes to the girls’ faces. Every few clicks, the girl will change her expression. This doesn’t make up for the lack of sexy animation loops, but it’s something at least.

CONCLUDING WORDS

Youma Shoukan e Youkoso is a super short nukige, and honestly feels more like a glorified gallery viewer. As the game lacks story and voice acting, the awesome art is pretty much the only thing it offers. I recommend all anime fappers to watch the animated OVA based on this visual novel first before deciding to fork over the cash for the full experience.

Recommended for serial masturbators with a fetish for slutty anime girls. You can download this game on Steam for $10.00.
