Foreword
I received a free copy of this game for review purposes — thanks NSFW18 Games!
Gameplay (4/5★)
Rearrange pieces to assemble an image. The puzzles are divided into twelve “months”. Each month is based on a theme (such as “summer” or “teasing”). There are three kinds of puzzles to solve; untimed puzzles with forty pieces; timed puzzles with twenty-eight; and black-and-white puzzles that use jigsaw-shaped pieces (and despite being “HARDER” are actually easier, because it’s more obvious how pieces go together). As you complete puzzles, you’ll earn money. Money is used to purchase hints (or even skip levels!) I think this game would benefit from a difficulty setting — everybody has their own pace.
Story (2/5★)
Ringsel needs your help; by “help” she means solve puzzles!
Visuals (4/5★)
After the splash screen, it’s straight to the game! Your in-game achievements can be viewed via the “Achievements” pane; I’m glad this isn’t a link to Steam’s Achievements, I can do that myself! Unlocked CGs can be viewed from the “Gallery”. Due to their awkward aspect ratios, none of them can be borderless fullscreened. You may choose to view CGs as part of a “slideshow”, but you have no control over what is displayed (or how fast). The user-interface can’t be hidden within the gallery. Audio and display can be adjusted from the “Options” menu. You can also reset your progress from this menu. You’re able to download the gallery as 4K (3840 x 2160) images — the images are stored in your computer’s “Pictures” folder.
The Goods (3/5★)
There are sixty static bases, with up to six variations for undress or climax. There are one-hundred-seventeen total CGs. Most them include nudity, and some of them sexual content. A handful of the CGs are drawn in a black-and-white comic book style, but some of them appear to be sketchy “works-in-progress”. The artwork is high-quality, but I didn’t appreciate the watermarks.
Verdict (3/5★)
If you like jigsaw puzzles, you’ll love this game! It offers sixty puzzles with some variety and reasonable difficulty. On the other hand, if you don’t like puzzles, you’re gonna hate this game. If you’re interested in erotic content, this game doesn’t impress me. The artwork, though stylistically consistent, is all over the place; the coloring, backgrounds and aspect ratios are almost random. It’s clear somebody’s gallery was dumped into this game (rather than having a commissioned, exclusive gallery). However, I have to give props for NSFW18 Games trying link each image as part of a story. Hentai Day – Ringsel in Trouble is a puzzle game that packs a lot of value, but I’d pass if you want easy (or saucy) hentai.
