STORY
When her boyfriend is cursed by a mysterious creature, Sarah has no choice but to gather the magic power to cure him! The fastest way to do that, is by gathering sexual excitement from other men!
The story is super simple. Travel to the four magic circles with your loser boyfriend and a muscular escort. The muscle guy is named Valery, and he helps Sarah gather magic. While at first they only engage in simple groping and blowjobs, by the final circle, she gives up her virginity to him and breaks up with Carl for good!
The game features three endings. Will Sarah return to Carl, start a family with Valery, or cuck both of them with a random nobleman? While the third ending is a nice addition, the plot and writing seems to indicate that marrying Valery is the canon ending.
The writing is genuinely good for a netorare title. Because the story is told from a female perspective, you get to see why Sarah chooses to cheat. Valery is smarter, stronger, and always there for her. He rescues her from harm countless times, and easily kills creatures that Carl is helpless against. When she leaves Carl for the better man, it just felt right.
GAMEPLAY
The store page says it best. “This game does not contain elements of items or growing. Battles are mainly dodging enemies”. There are no level-ups or equipment slots, simply sneak past your enemies and you’ll be fine.
Admittedly, the gameplay gets insanely boring. Especially after you cure Carl and have no objective. It’s basically wandering around while avoiding slimes. While this keeps the focus on the sex scenes, it also means the gameplay feels like a waste of time in between.
Press W to hide the text box. Press CTRL to skip dialogue. Your max health will increase as the story progresses.
An interesting feature to this game were traps that either slow down your movement or add more monsters in your path. Most other games would give you a method to locate the traps, but this game expects you to remember them, which was a fun little challenge.
The gameplay is very bare bones overall. There isn’t even a world map!
GRAPHICS
There are 40 scenes illustrated via 21 CGs. Each artwork is beautifully crafted to show off Sarah’s perfect body.
Sarah is the focus of all sex scenes. My favorite artwork showed her wearing a blindfold! It was so realistic and frightening, just a glance at her face lets you experience her feelings of helplessness.
The environmental design is fantastic. You travel across the continent trying to cure Carl’s curse, and each region has its own unique quirks. One town is populated by miners hoping to extract ore for weaponry. There’s talk of a governing kingdom and capital city, which you don’t see until much later. Seeing the paved roads of the capital is a huge change from the mining village where you first heard of it.
If there’s one complaint to be made, it’s the lack of outfits. Sarah is often fully naked, and never even has a stripping scene! I love nude babes as much as the next guy, but the focus on her bare tits is too much! Show me some booty!
Sex scenes offer an x-ray view that show how deep a cock is entering into Sarah’s pussy. This feature can be turned off at any time.
VOICE ACTING AND SOUND EFFECTS (SFX)
Sarah and the Magic Circle has no voice acting.
The sound effects in this game are stock RPG maker assets with an occasional track common only to this developer. Without a focus on combat, the sex scenes are where sound effects shine. Although they are fitting and hot, the sound effects are always the same. Whether you’re hitting it from the back or the front, the pussy always sounds the same. When a game is completely focused on sex, I expect more variety.
MUSIC
The game has 31 stock music tracks. A simple download of the RPG Maker library will give you all of these tracks. You hear a violin, an accordian and a metal triangle. These classic tracks are well known through most RPG Maker titles. The lack of originality is disappointing, but unsurprising.
HENTAI
There are 40 scenes in this game, illustrated via 21 CGs. The demo features five of them if you’re curious to try it.
Many scenes in this game can be missed if you’re not careful. Whenever you enter a dungeon you can find an optional rest stop. I highly recommend you sleep there, so Valery has a chance to grope and fondle Sarah while Carl sleeps nearby.
When it’s time to gather magic, Valery always casts a darkness spell on Carl. This way, the cuck is completely blind, while Valery enjoys himself and plays with Sarah! And once Sarah falls in love with Valery, he lifts the darkness spell so Carl can witness the hard pussy pounding his girlfriend is loving!
Carl is speechless! All he can do is listen in as Sarah begs for more and says that Valery is so much better than Carl! This gets so intense, Carl later confronts her about this, and Sarah says she cannot change how she feels! And obviously she’s not going to date Carl out of pity!
The Valery ending is the best in the game. Sarah gets pregnant and has a child with Valery, meanwhile Carl watches envious from afar. He’s still in love with her, but he’s such a cuckold, his former girlfriend has now gotten pregnant with another man’s child!
CONCLUDING WORDS
Sarah and the Magic Circle of Purification is an amazing netorare game. Its focus on the female perspective is a fantastic change of pace from similar titles. The lack of gameplay is a big negative, but the 40 erotic scenes make this an unforgettable experience.
