  I wanted to play a sexy game and now I'm traumatized for life. The story is really great even if very sad.

  Great VN. Story very captivating and dark. Very linear but you can make some major choices in the end. Good artstyle.

  It is totally my fault for not reading enough about the game, but I definitely should not have bought this. The plot involves a kidnapping and being forced into slavery. None of it is consensual and reading it made me deeply uncomfortable. Regrettably, I cannot recommend it for that reason. The quality of the writing and music are very good. A fair bit of the character art seems unfinished - characters don't have eyes, or there is just a silhouette with no details. Generally the background/environment art was better than the character art. All of the gallery was unlocked before I read a single word, and for some reason the dialogue skip would skip over things I hadn't already read even though it was set not to. Setting my discomfort with the subject matter aside, the game is objectively mixed quality.

  Yes, I would recommend this! I was very surprised by just how much this game tugged at my heart. It was an emotional roller-coaster from feelings of rage to despair at the protagonists (and others!) horrible situation and culminating in audibly begging the game for a good ending.. Do we get one? You'll need to play for yourself and find out~ For the most part the game was more story than choices but, given my mental state mentioned above, I was fine with that.. Though my neighbours may have heard me scream "Please let me kill him!" a few times.. It kept me interested, I wanted to know what would happen next. I was rooting for the characters. For me these are all signs of a good story. Short version: Good game. Good story. Good feels.

  I am technically recommending this visual novel, but barely as I only recommend it if it were on sale, given the current state. In general, I feel like the game is simply unfinished, but what is there is mostly okay. The story might be disturbing to some as it is primarily about the forcible rape of a male slave and his transition into a willing participant. It's a decent 4 to 5 hours but has completely rushed and unsatisfying endings; there are a few, but the choices that determine those endings don't occur until about the final 15 minutes of the story. I'm not convinced the multiple endings added anything of value to the story; particularly with the way it was implemented. The art style is fairly unique and some of it is nice, but much of it is also quite lazy; like they were just quick storyboard sketches thrown in. I did not encounter bugs or crashes, it ran fine; though it could probably use some sort of a chapter select system; only manual saves are available. Overall, I liked the story but I think if some of the images and the ending had a little more time and care put into it; I'd be more enthusiastic in my recommendation.

  Diamond Mirage was a beautiful game! The art is divine, and the story is entertaining and well thought out. I loved the world building, and I'd absolutely love any DLC or other games the developer might offer. The world was so well made, I'd love to play an RPG set in it! The world needs more yaois like this!

  That's an interesting question if I recommend [I] Diamond Mirage [/i] xD The story is quite dark, one should carefully look through the warning list on the store page to check if they are going to be ok with the contents. Such games are my guilty pleasure. Seeing pretty screenshots in my activity feed I thought I'm gonna indulge in some explicit yaoi submissive journey as the story is mostly about slaves. Plus, the main characters are elves, my favourite fantastic creatures ever. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2554580179 And actually the first evening when I was playing the game I got what I wanted. The initial scenes were just perfect, pure pleasure, feast for my eyes and ears. I usually turn the music off as it distracts me from the plot but not here. It fits the story ideally. Sometimes I just left the game idle, was surfing the Internet enjoying the game music as I would listening to my play list. That's just something so rare for me I'm sincerely grateful. And the visuals are exceptionally gorgeous in this game. The elves sprites are so handsome (except one female char) I was practically drooling. Especially the dusk elf. He joined the list of my favourite game characters. When I first saw him I gasped. Simply breathtaking! I applaud to the artist! And the natural backgrounds were so peaceful and relaxing. Contrasting to the main story of slavery. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2554517715 It's not the first game I played where you can experience non-consensual sexual relationship, but besides it's not real I could always justify what was happening, I didn't have any remorse. I could pamper some sadistic part of mine in particular because the “victims” after a while enjoyed that coercion. At the beginning innocent chars despite being forced also succumbed to that natural carnal desire. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2554516229 But quite soon the game stopped being what I expected it to be, what I experienced before. It turned into really dark story full of injustice, despair, pain... I sincerely suffered with all those slaves. That was not what I wanted to get. I wanted to see submissive types forced to accept that kind of hidden deeply but so much wanted desire. Nah, nothing like this here. It was painful and frustrating. It was even funny how differently the story felt each evening I was playing it xD first—BxB sexual content, second—pain and suffering and the third evening—escape and different endings. Anyway, I find it a good thing when a story turns out to be surprising and unpredictable. The game was definitely a unique experience. Though, there were some things I'd like to be done differently. My main complaint is that (and I still don't understand why it was presented this way) all CGs in the gallery are open at the very start of the game. So, I was deprived of an exciting opportunity to unlock all the juicy details. I try to skip the screenshots, reviews, guides of the games I haven't played yet because all of them are slightly spoilerish. I'm especially grumpy when I see a game with a complicated walk-through and the guide is made with the CGs. It spoils all the pleasure. And here.. the very devs did that. Honestly, I'm still shocked and a bit upset about that. WHY T.T The game has lots of tags xD One of them--'Choices matter'. Welp, actually first evening I even thought this is a kinetic novel. You get some options only during the final escaping scenes. And the result is so obvious, as you were said about the safe route, that I find that tag a bit mocking. So this game is mainly focused on slaves' harsh fate. That's presented quite vividly. A dark story indeed, unfortunately without any soothing conclusion. The endings are too sudden, short, abrupt.. Despite some typos and other imperfections (e.g. hyphens instead of dashes...) I really enjoyed how the story was written. Intimate scenes included. That's why btw I felt slightly disappointed not to find any similar content scenes, during their happy ending, for example. And when the chars were still in the mansion and made love because they wanted it, no one forced, some short moments that could be so healing for my wretched soul... Nothing, as if one was offered a choice to skip that and leave only anguish and pain. A question even occurred to me what was the message the devs wanted to deliver, what they wanted to create, for their readers to experience. And I imagined some cunning chuckle and the only purpose is to make the players suffer. Thank you very much I did xD What a waste of pretty art. I'm half joking here. In any case, I'm definitely gonna miss those handsome elves, the whole art in general. Thank you for this unique experience. The game is really one of a kind!
