So i'm reading a lot here that the game is too slow and pacing is slow and all, but tbh, i appreciated it not giving you yet another H-Scene after each conversation or minipuzzle you finished, because in quite some other games that's the case up to the point of them running out of fucking ideas and coming up with two- or three-somes, public stuff and it's still not enough to distract from the fact most of the renpy girls look very similar, especially when it comes to private parts, so after the 12th sex scene it just all blends together in one blur. 

That's why i appreciate the game taking it on slow and fleshing out the girls so much because finally getting them to do what one likes feels much more rewarding and individual than rushing from scene to scene. 

That being said some scenes did stretch out quite a bit, but i'm sure the devs do know about it and will fix that. I liked the locations of the castle, the story was (when last i played) somewhat chaotic at times (some of the girls conversations and quest designs contradicted each other) and all in all i would love to have decisions matter a bit more, but i guess that's rare in any games, let alone NSFW ones like this one. 

Love the art style, like the humour, like the feeling like there's always more to explore or to do. Don't like susan's personality at all, but i guess that's a question of taste. Sometimes it feels like earning money can be a chore. I loved the minigames, finally a game has actually challenging stuff in it and not just a front with "click 6 times and you're done".

Hello! Thank you for your review and for support! 

So I played through Act 1 Chapters 1-3. I really like the setup and I understand that the main concept is a gradual corruption concept which I like. Pacing is slow but I don't mind working for the h-scenes. I myself like learning more about the various heroines, what makes them tick and etc. Dialogue is solid, music is good and the art is superb. However, the chapter skip of 4-5 is a huge turn off for me. Especially since the whole point of gradual corruption is.. well. A gradual corruption. I'm also fairly invested in the narrative so I'd prefer to experience the whole story organically. Based on other comments, I understand the story got a revamp which is why these two chapters are currently missing.

So my main question is, is there an ETA on when Act 1 Chapters 4 and 5 will be ready? 

Hello! Thank you for review. 0.10B with Act 1 Chapters 4 and 5 will be released before the end of the year

Thanks for the swift response. Glad to hear its much sooner than expected.

Oh man. Where to start. There are so many amazing things about this game. But there are also so many not great things.

Pros:

This game probably has one of the best if not the best art hands down in the AVN genre on itch, especially among the ones built with renpy. It's refreshingly unique and captivating. It doesn't go down the classic 3d render route which suffers from characters having lifeless expressions and unnatural looking scenes. You can tell the artist deeply cares about their work. From the girls' facial expressions all the way to atmosphere and lighting, the art style will make you a fan.

Most of the scenes aren't animated in the way you expect, they're just fast slideshows and this is probably due to the art form of this particular project. But there is significant effort to animate scenes and have them move a lot more smoothly using Live2D which is a plus. But trust me, you will still enjoy the slideshow style animation because the art is just too fucking good.

The game has a nice selection of minigames that keeps it fresh. Even though you might just refer to their wiki for some of them, it's nice that they offer different options to keep players entertained and still offer a challenge for those who want one.

The way that the game is built on top of renpy is surprisingly polished. You will hardly encounter bugs while playing and will be properly immersed within this naughty little version of Hogwarts.

Even though I didn't care too much about the story, it seems alright. You certainly aren't going to laugh your ass off or cry with an outburst of emotion but it's servicable enough to have you tag along with the adventures of Marcus slowly trying to corrupt the entire school with his dirty agenda.

Speaking of writing, thank god that the writers and translators have the basic decency to proof read their script or at least put it through a spell checker. If you've ever played more than one AVN on itch, you've probably encountered enough language related issues due to them not being native English speakers. I'm no native English speaker either, but I do appreciate the minimal fucking effort required by Team Sad Crab to put out a script with very few spelling errors.

And thanks to decent enough writing and proper grammar, the characters are allowed to shine. Each of the main girls have a unique enough personality that you feel every interaction is unique to said girl. The banter between other characters is also noticeable so you won't feel like all of the characters are just the same person which can be a big problem in small VN projects with a single writer.

Cons:

Pacing. Oh man the pacing. This has been mentioned time and time again by other commenters. You will be left a frustrated mess while trying to get to a proper naughty scene. This downfall is aggravated due to them currently being in the midst of scrapping their entire plot so if you made the mistake of having your first playthrough with the new plot like I did, you will be confused as to why you didn't get to see pretty much any scene.

The efforts to change their pacing is appreciated which I believe what the new plot aims to achieve when it's complete but the fact that Marcus ends up going through literally hours of dialogue to finally put his penis inside of one of the main girls is simply mind boggling.

Not to mention, several side quests make you do the same thing over and over again 5-8 times only to remove another piece of clothing each time, or put the girl in a slightly different position each time. At the end you finally get to unlock the "true" scene which is usually just a collection of the previous frames with another small animation that acts as the finale. By this point you've probably skipped all the frames that you already saw in a flurry to get to the final animation, which will probably leave you frustrated yet again due to the insane build up of anticipation. I legit yelled at my screen during the Susan tutoring questline only to discover the final scene didn't involve Marcus going all the way despite having his penis literally milimeters away from entry.

In addition to this, your portrait-stuck self constantly teases you about how you've successfully corrupted the girls and you can actually fuck them now but Marcus suddenly decides he's a gentleman and tells himself it's better to wait, it's always better to wait. Teasing your audience is fine, and even appreciated when done in moderation, but I don't think any of us are looking to edge ourselves for 4 fucking hours in front of a screen.

All of this feels like a spit in the face especially after experiencing the glorious start to the game when you get to ravish Minerva which in hindsight is probably put as a bandaid solution to get the audience quickly hooked with the promise of something better if they keep playing. Minerva scene introduces an awesome "stress" mechanic where you constantly have to break down your partner's defenses to move on to the next stage and it provides enough freedom during the scene to allow you to experiment with toys, clothes, and even dialogue. But get this, none of this is ever used in any of the scenes ever again throughout the rest of the game.

To be fair, I didn't unlock all of the scenes yet, so maybe the stress mechanic and the toys/clothes sandbox do make a comeback, but my patience in unlocking all of the scenes has already been irreparably eroded. But I think I made my point about the issues in pacing. Let's move on.

Sonya, oh dear Sonya. Is her name even Sonya? It's hard to remember. Sonya starts with the exciting promise or rather an implication of getting to experience scenes with her as the time goes on. She says you need to keep playing the game to restore her memory and so she can remind you all the amazing times you've had together. You quickly discover this is all a ruse and the only remotely naughty thing you can do with Sonya is to have her play dress up. Underwhelming.

Even though the game feels very polished on renpy, it does at the expense of several quality of life elements that other renpy games usually have, such as not being able to rewind dialogue. You can argue that this is a conscious decision to force the player stick to the choices they make and live with the consequences, but I'm going to save the game before I make the choice anyway, why not make it easier for me?

Not to mention, you can't replay scenes without backing out all the way to the main menu for some reason. Design limitation perhaps?

To add on top of that, the scene and dialogue transitions just feel slow. You will notice the scene fading out, sometimes multiple times, after completing a quest or a frame lingering on your screen even though you tried to skip. Not sure if they artificially slowed things down so you'd play the game for longer or if they bogged it down with their implementation.

Final thoughts:

This game has the potential to be one of the greats. Seriously. I could see my degenerate self spending so many hours "appreciating" these beautifully drawn girls in a carefully built world/story, but at this point it will have to stay in my "come back later" folder.

I couldn't agree more with this. Almost all of the points mentioned in this comment is true and must be something the developers should deeply look into.

Hello! Thank you for review.

About cons:

1.Our game is about slow corruption, so there is a lot of eroticism and teasing without fast penetrations, etc
Some of really slow event will be fixed in future

2. Scene with Minerva its prototype, we spend 4 month for only one scene, so the reviews were mostly bad,  we decided not to make interactive scenes anymore and maybe in the future we will simplify this one by editing and expanding a little

3. Sonya dont have much content and progress of the story at this moment, we are focused on main girls. Will be expand in not near future

4. Rewind of the dialogs broke the game, our game is not kinetic novel. Scene replays - same

5. Dont understand about dialogue transitions. Can you explain?

When is the next update?

August

please! what is the blowjob cocktail for snape? It's deleted and I can only see Heaven's 18, Bitters. I combine it with JF triplesec and I get a cocktail but it is not enough. Does anyone know which is the correct combination or even which version?

Heaven's 18, bitters, irish cream

tank you.!

hello there ,

I have a quick question. If I buy your game now (the android version 0.9.1B) will I be able to always get/download the newest android version of the game or do I just get the 0.9.1B?

So would i have to buy a newer version (I dunno like 1.69) again. I'm sorry for my poor choice of words cause my English is not the best and I hope you'll can even understand my question. 

We think yes, if not, ask itch support

When is 0.10B coming out?

Before end of the year

Hello is my game broken? I did everything in the journals and it said the ep is over but i barely got to see any scenes. After I went to main menu i saw that there were so many locked scenes which the game itself never gave task me to do so. How can i achieve all these scenes in game without using cheats? I played this game on mobile before and there were so many minigames such as giving lessons to daphne, susan etc. , but when i played it on pc, there werent any and the episode ended? (The game made me choose my waifu and said it will be missing, which in mobile i would choose who would be my waifu and who i would want to go missing, so many stuff are missing from the original story?

Hello! Thank you for support! You started the game from new plot 2 act 1 chapter.
You need to start from beggining to unlock scenes and minigames

I can't get the cheats to work, I bought this on here as part of the adult visual novels bundle and I've tried making a file called erecto totalus in the same folder that the game's executable is located with the extension .txt and no new options have appeared in the extra tab

(-1)

Hello! Thank you for support! Check txt file calls code for unlock memories 


Thanks for replying so quickly,  the instructions in the text file say to make a .txt file called erecto totalus in the folder that the game's executable is located and that afterwards a new option appears in the extra tab but a new option hasn't appeared, I've even put the cheat code from the unlock memories file into the erecto totalus file and still no new option in the extra tab

Read first line of text in code for unlock memories.txt

I have the cheat code which I obviously won't post here but I don't know what to do with it or have any options to put it anywhere. Do I put it in the console commands? Is there a cheat code box that's supposed to popup that I put it into? Do I put the cheat code in the erecto totalus .txt file that I have in the same folder as the game's executable?

First close the game if it’s running, then create a file named (code on first line), in the same folder where the game’s executable file is located (Innocent Witches.exe), any extension will do, for example .txt. After that a new option will appear in "extra" -> "extra", which will allow you to unlock the memories. Additionally, when starting some of the chapters via the New Game menu, you will get an option to start it with lots of gold and high stats

If you still have a problem, write to us in discord https://discord.gg/XnFW2Pn

can u tell me from where can I download this file ( code for unlock memories ).......? 

This game be sold on steam in the future?

Nope, copyrights

Hey! Out of curiosity, when do you plan for a V1.0?

Hello! The version number is just numbers for us. We have a lot of plans for the game, it can be end in V3.5.2F or V0.99C

Hey!  I finished 0.8.4B full story, but now I want to migrate to 0.8.5B.  When I go to chapter selection in 0.8.5B,  Only Act 2 Chapter 1 is present, Chapter 2 is not there. So is it yet to be developed? 

I have finished till Act 2 chapter 1 Mind Games (That is i reached end of 0.8.4B) o how should I continue with Chapter 2 now???

 

(+1)

Hello! Thank you for support!If you already finished current game, you dont need to migrate to 0.8.5B its only bugfixes, better migrate to 0.9.1B for chapter 2 (but you need to start a new game) Better to wait until we release 0.10B - fixed gap 4-5 chapter 1 act and etc

Sorry if you've answered this before, but what's the timeline on 0.10B?

Autumn

i have read the changlog where  you added a bug... but you know if people truly want to go as far to bug abuse, why not cheat money?

Hello! Bug abuse broke game and save files, we already wasted a time, on two bugs, that people made by themselves, using cheats and modify the files. We wasted on it 3 working days.

Is the intention to not do a trainer style game anymore? Idk what im missing, i played act 1 and there were no trainer elements like I remembered, act 2 is a slog as well. There are some lewd scenes but the trainer elements seem gone. Mostly just dialogue and adventure game left.

Hello! What the latest version are you play, that have "trainer elements" in the game?

I suppose it would be the last version with the old lore, as I remember it had a lot of minigames for getting the girls drunk, stripping, trying on swimsuits, private lessons etc. I didnt encounter barely any of that this time around. Did everything in the journal but I may have missed a trigger or something along the way?

Its in old plot, you can play on it by starting new game. Old plot will be deleted, all events, quests and other things will be migrate to new plot in 0.10B

(+1)

Are there any plans to reintroduce that content? 

The way the game is right now is not very enjoyable for me. Its a lot of "work" for little reward. Dialogue for hours without much else. 

Dont get me wrong I really like the dialogue, its witty and engaging but you never get a break. 

In the old plot the private lessons etc were like rewards or breaks inbetween plot. Now when that content isnt in the game anymore the game starts to feel very slow.

Yes, we continue cut some dialog lines, that doesn't make sense in new plot
And we add side quests for fill in the time between the main plot.

Summing up all the questions, I ask you to wait for version 0.10 B, where the main problems described to you will be fixed

(+16)

This seriously need better pacing, i've been like 3 hours into the game and literally nothing has happened. The only worthwhile scene is if you decide to finish off the first part with Minerva, but after that, again, nothing happens. This is one of the best looking games in itch.io, but it's completely ruined by the long dialogue (which most simply don't make any sense) and nothing happening. Just my two cents, love the game but it could use some work on the pacing. 

Hello! Thank you for review! What plot are you played? New or old?

(+3)

Not the op, but I agree, I was unknowingly thrust it the new plot, spent HOURES stuck in that fucking office.

I pulled through though, and I was told to jump two chapters, so I went back to the old plot, and it is too similar, and again I am stuck in that office.

Cutting the summer drinking binge all together will help the pacing so much, and hiding the new plot until it is ready (or at least the first act is) will too.

(+4)(-1)

Everyone agree with that because of your pacing like a snail and it will cause bored after some time passed. Also, your hints and marks are really bad that it doesnt even activated in 3rd or 2nd level, totally blank. I get tired after playing for 1 hour and maybe need another week to throw this frustation 1st before continue playing. UI, interaction and control was so bad that it killed the fun.

可以把这张的H动画发给我吗?

This scene in the game has not been animated yet

以后是否可以加入播放直接所有H动画

I didn't understand the question

我的意思是是否可以加入直接观看H动画

You can view all the scenes in the game by opening the gallery with a special code, you can read more here https://www.teamsadcrab.com/innocent-witches-public/

以后会出中文吗

thank you

Personally, I find this game to be a bit too slow. When it comes to the erotic games that I enjoy, the pacing is crucial. When it takes too long to progress to the next point/story/quest, without enough visual/UI/UX queues in semi-sandbox styled games... I end up feeling lost and frustrated. The kind of gameplay offered here, doesn't engage me.

The artwork and music is phenomenal. I'm glad the game exists for players that enjoy the gameplay style, but I'm not the target audience. I wish the devs and players the best in their experiences. I won't offer a bad rating, as I have downloaded the game for free. My experience was an interesting exploration of a genre of gameplay, I've never really enjoyed.

(+1)

Hello! Thanks for review!

Is this animated?

Yes, some of the scenes and locations

if i pay, will i only get 0.9 or does it count as purchasing all future updates?

(-1)

Future updates too, you pay and unlock the download forever.

You can support this project directly at Patreon to access latest versions, otherwise consider itch.io purchases as a tip jar or just enjoy the game for free, although your support is really appreciated.

How to update game in Android

Delete old version and install new

(1 edit) (+1)

I just downloaded the 9.1B and I have to say a few things:

The games feels way slower and heavy then the previous release (I was playing the 0.8.4B before), at least on Mac. 
I tried the erecto totalus,but it does not work. I only get the options to reset game progress.
Do I need to replay the previous chapters to unlock Ginny's Act2/Chapter2 scene? Or I can start from the latest chapter and still get it?

I'll rather restart the game from the beginning if I can't access certain scenes or if I can't use cheats to regain the money and stats that I had in my 0.8B save file.

Hello. Thank you for support! The code is different for new version (check zip for code) 

(1 edit)

yo, this game looks AMAZING. i'm just curious tho, but will the game finish when it reaches version 1 or will it continue beyond?

Hello! Sorry for long answer! Game will continue beyond, next versions is 0.10, 0.11 and etc

sounds good, keep up the great work!

(1 edit)

I am on Version 0.9B and game freezes at scene with Minerva on Android in Chapter 2 in quest "Unforgettable night". How to fix this?

Hello! We just release 0.9.1B where this bug is fixed.

why can't I enter the game, as soon as I download it immediately deletes itself

Ambasing

Are my old saves compatible with new versions? This game takes a LOOONG time to progress or at least I don't know how to quickly. It's a bit frustrating, so I hope I won't ave to do it all over again.

(+1)

Sorry, but saves not be compatible with each number version (like 0.8A - 0.8B - 0.9A - 0.9B) We will fix it, when stabilize plot, but now you always can made special file for unlock all scenes and cheats in the game. First close the game if it’s running, then create a file named erecto totalus, (works only for the public version, patron's only version has its own code that is available on the download page at our website) in the same folder where the game’s executable file is located (Innocent Witches.exe), any extension will do, for example .txt. After that a new option will appear in "extra" -> "extra", which will allow you to unlock the memories. Additionally, when starting some of the chapters via the New Game menu, you will get an option to start it with lots of gold and high stats

Awesome! Thx!
