STORY

Riajuu Plus centers on the budding friendship and later romance of two childhood friends, Kaname and Kouchi. The game explores their life together growing up and paints a vivid picture of how two people could grow up and fall in love with one another.

The game is divided into three parts: 1999, 2005 and 2007. We first meet Kaname and Kouchi as children. Kouchi makes the fatal error of promising to marry Kaname and is doomed to live with the fact that Kaname will never ever forget the deal.

In 2005 the friendship the two have begin to evolve into something more intimate with typical teenager issues such as breast angst and masturbation coming into play. The situation is made worse by the fact that the two are no longer in the same class together and might end up drifting apart. In 2007, Kaname and Kouchi have matured and are struggling with their feelings for one another. They decide they love each other and agree to date. Dating and kissing isn’t enough. Kouchi whips out his dick while Kaname drops her panties and the two of them bang happily ever after!

The game contains less than two hours of content, but the story is well-told.

SOUND EFFECTS AND VOICE ACTING (SFX)

The game has voice acting for Kaname only. She is also the only other character apart from Kouchi. The vocal performance for Kaname is great. The actress gives a stellar performance and is able to convey a wide range of emotions. She can be cute, upset and sexy at the drop of a dime. Unfortunately the game’s music is often too loud to hear the voice work.

Kaname is very cute when she is having sex. She’s insecure, but secretly likes being dirty. Her vocal performance is awesome with some very fap-worthy lines and moans.

Sounds effects are very limited. I could only hear a school bell and some awkward crickets that felt intrusive in places. There may be more sound effects that have been drowned out by the music’s deafening volume.

MUSIC

Riajuu Plus has excellent music. There are a lot of different tracks for different scenes. Almost every kind of mood has been accounted for with a melody that fits it to a ‘t’. Musical changeovers are barely noticeable. There are also some unusual selections with one track having a very Egyptian beat to it that still felt memorable and fitting.

Other tracks range between silly, upbeat, and bombastic with a good mixture of soft and vibrant beats that invoke happiness and joy. It’s clear that a lot of effort went into making the soundtrack entertaining.

As mentioned earlier, the music is so loud, you can’t really hear the voice acting or sound effects.

GAMEPLAY

Riajuu Plus is a visual novel game. You click the screen to “turn the page”.  The game has basic visual novel functionality. You are presented with choices throughout the game that determine what kind of personality Kaname ends up having. There are plenty of choices to be made. Not all choices have an impact on the rest of the story. Other choices include switching positions during sex and where to blow your load.

There are enough save slots to save your progress. Use the ‘auto’ and ‘skip’ option to play the game and masturbate at the same time. There is also a Gallery where you can view all the sexy CGs and a ‘go to Scene’ button that does exactly that.

GRAPHICS

Kaname has three different sprites. She is the only other character in the story after all. Her appearance as a child is adorable while her middle-school self looks warm and inviting. Kaname’s high school sprite is cute and beautiful. She sports giant tits that’ll make any man hard as a rock. Unfortunately all three sprites have only one pose and a handful of facial expressions.

The colour design is bright and vibrant with realistic shadows, coupled with thin edge lines. I especially enjoyed Kaname’s red, blushing cheeks.

The game features a wide variety of backgrounds that sell the idea that Kaname and Kouchi have had a lifetime to explore the world together. A special praise goes to the developers for adding backgrounds for short scenes as well.

Throughout the game you can see Japanese classrooms, hallways for different schools, bedrooms, living rooms, home neighborhoods, school exteriors, school rooftops, marketplaces and a typical Japanese big city street.

Artwork contains fantastic designs that enrich the world. Each background contains just enough detail to make the location look and feel realistic.

H-scene artwork is wonderfully lewd. Kaname’s huge breasts are gorgeous. Her cute expressions as her cunt gets rammed will get your blood pumping. Camera angles do not move unless the characters change positions. Artwork evolves with the action.

HENTAI

Riajuu Plus takes a long time before rewarding you with a sex scene. The game prefers to build up towards Kouchi and Kaname having sex which adds a layer of intimacy and innocence to it. The artwork is gorgeous, but limited.

During the 2005 segment, a self-conscious Kaname will interrogate Kouchi about whether he likes big breasts or small ones. He takes advice from a pervert friend of his and tells Kaname that if you fondle them enough, they’ll grow bigger. She takes him at his word and lets him touch her chest. Kouchi takes this as an invitation and has his way with his childhood friend’s sweater puppies.

In high school, Kouchi invites Kaname to his room where he proceeds to use his dick to make her pussy feel good. They consummate their love for one another and pop each other’s cherries. Kouchi also enjoys a blowjob at school but is denied the perfect climax when he requests to blast his load down Kaname’s throat.

The sex has excellent play by play. The player can easily believe that these guys are making love as two people who genuinely hold affection for one another. Early sex scenes are layered with insecurity, making them even more believable.

CONCLUDING WORDS

Riajuu Plus is a great erotic story that prioritizes plot over porn. It has great visuals, a wonderful soundtrack and likable characters. It has only two hours of content, but it’s quality content and satisfying to fap through. While the build-up takes a while, the reward is yummy.

Highly recommend romantic visual novel. Download Riajuu Plus Now!
