The Adelaide Inn

I had heard mixed things about The Adelaide Inn, but after playing it I thought I would share my thoughts on this lewd visual novel and let you know if I feel if it is worth your time. One of the main reasons that I feel so many people are willing to give this game a try is that it does not demand a great deal of your time, you can get through it pretty quickly. Also, there is a decent number of lewd scenes in the game. This is made even better by how quickly you come across them too.

Life At The Inn

I am not sure exactly what the point of the story in The Adelaide Inn is, but I can tell you how I interpreted things! The game takes place in an inn (with a somewhat fantasy setting to it all) and you decide that the best way you can make money here is not just by offering people rooms, but also by offering them some sexual services as well.

Each person you interact with has a story to tell, but I never felt that any of it was all that interesting. I have to admit that this is one of those games where I just wanted to get through the dialogue in order to see the next XXX scene.

Lenticular Motion!

Visually, The Adelaide Inn is a bit of a mixed bag. The whole game has a kind of hand drawn look to it all which I really do like. I am a big fan of this art style and while I said the game has a fantasy type setting to it, it is not too over the top, and in all, I like what they have done here with the visuals. As far as the lewd scenes go, first of all, there are a nice amount of them. However, the animation is very, very weird. It is like those trading cards that have a “moving image” on them where you have to move them up and down or left to right and you get an illusion of movement, that is what the animation in this game looks like.

Making Sweet Love And Money

While I would describe The Adelaide Inn as a lewd visual novel, there is a bit more to the gameplay than just reading the text. You do get to make many choices when you are talking to the various characters and I liked how at the start of each choice a certain word would be highlighted, giving you more of an indication of what kind of reaction or event that choice could lead to.

There are also things that you can buy in the game too, this adds a bit more to the gameplay, but there was nothing that felt like it was too grindy which I consider a very good thing.

Pros:

• The game has a lot of XXX content
• Some people may dig the hand drawn art style
• I liked how the game got to the XXX content at a quick pace
• It does not take much time to play through the game

Cons:

• I found the animation style to be rather off putting
• The story is not all that engaging

If you're looking for an adult game that combines the intricacies of managing a business with the emotional rollercoaster of Netorare (NTR) themes, The Adelaide Inn might just be your next gaming obsession. Developed by Ntrman, this visual novel transports players into a medieval fantasy setting where every decision can lead to both professional success and personal betrayal.

Gameplay and Interaction

"The Adelaide Inn" isn't your typical adult game. Here, players are not only navigating through steamy scenarios but also managing an inn. This dual focus on simulation and storytelling is where the game shines. Players must handle daily operations like customizing rooms, managing guest relations, and strategizing to enhance the inn's reputation. This management aspect adds a layer of complexity and engagement, making the player feel like they're genuinely running a business.

The NTR elements are woven into the fabric of the game, creating a narrative where the protagonist's personal life intertwines with the business. Choices made can lead to multiple endings, affecting both the inn's success and the protagonist's romantic and emotional landscape. This choice-driven gameplay is reminiscent of HuniePop, another game that blends puzzle mechanics with dating simulation, though The Adelaide Inn adds a darker, more dramatic twist with its NTR focus.

Visuals and Audio Experience

Graphically, The Adelaide Inn employs 2D CGs in an anime style, which are generally well-received for their detail and character expression. While the art is commendable, there are minor criticisms regarding certain aspects due to its being an early venture by Ntrman in this genre. The audio landscape, however, complements the visual storytelling with a fitting medieval fantasy soundtrack and sound effects, enhancing immersion. Voice acting, available in some versions, adds another layer of depth to the character interactions, particularly enhancing the NTR scenes' emotional impact.

The game does not shy away from its adult content, featuring uncensored explicit scenes that are central to the narrative. These moments are not just for shock value but are crucial to the plot, exploring themes of betrayal, love, and jealousy. The way the game integrates these elements into the broader story of running an inn is both its strength and its most controversial aspect.

Review: 7/10

The Adelaide Inn offers a unique experience in the adult gaming scene, standing out with its attempt to mix business simulation with the dramatic intensity of NTR scenarios.

Pros:

• Innovative blend of inn management with adult storytelling
• Multiple endings based on player choices, adding replay value
• Detailed character designs and a fitting medieval fantasy setting
• Engaging narrative that delves into complex emotional themes

Cons:

• The NTR focus might not appeal to everyone, potentially limiting its audience
• Some minor graphical inconsistencies, likely due to being an early project
• Could benefit from more varied gameplay mechanics beyond management and reading
