  [code]This review has been brought to you by the [b]Lewd Games Reviewers[/b]. If you’re interested in spicy games that’d rise err… the room temperature feel free to check out [u][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38444643/]our curator[/url][/u] (we will love it if you follow it too ^^).[/code] Himeko Maid is a visual novel that puts us in the shoes of Suzuka, a lucky girl who gets the opportunity to participate in the Himeko Maid contest and win $500000 if she manages to successfully train a maid in different tasks (and “tasks” ;)). There’s not much to say about the story, but that’s fine because the strength of the plot lies in the characters and their interactions. The characters start as archetypes but they get more and more developed as the story progresses (Alice not so much, but she compensates it with her huge appeal). There’s Suzuka, the innocent protagonist who will discover many things about herself she didn’t know about; Harumi, the cheerful but clumsy girl [spoiler]who is also very scary at times[/spoiler]; Saeko, the super-serious yet awkward when it comes to socializing; and Alice, the perpetually horny secretary of the Tachibana Mansion who is also the embodiment of all the [i]ara ara[/i] energy in the world. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2256179915 The soundtrack is fine and does its job at enhancing the scenes (especially the one that plays during the spicy scenes and 70% of the interactions with Alice). I have to say the track that plays [spoiler]when you win the contest[/spoiler] got stuck in my head and it’s giving me some very silly edit ideas. I wish all the tracks had the same volume though because a few of them were a bit louder than the rest and it made it hard to hear the character’s voices. Talking about their voices, the voice actresses did a great job at bringing those characters to life (Fun fact: For some odd reason Alice’s tone of voice reminded me of Ozen from Made in Abyss. Don’t ask me why). I really liked the art in this game. The characters are really well done, the backgrounds are pretty, and the sex scenes are great. A special mention goes to the game’s interface. The use of a font that fits the story and the addition of background images to the choices in the exploration parts of the game clearly shows how much they went out of their way to make the game as distinguishable as possible from the other visual novels in the market. In short, get this game and play it as soon as you can. It’s a bit short (it takes about 5 hours to get all the endings) but it’s definitely worth every penny.

  Another great lewd adventure from Toffer, already had the Nutaku version but it's a yuri game worth having in your Steam library tho. Great art, super beautiful waifus, two unique routes, and a lot of girl action, if you know what I mean ;)

  A rather short adult visual novel; typical characters and gameplay - no surprises. Graphical presentation is pretty good, the price is okay.

  Nonsensical and boring story, characters that don't behave reasonably, dialog choices that are meaningless, very little artwork, dialog jammed full of annoying pauses ............. ...... ..... ... .. . for no reason. The "contest" the game's plot is based around is completely nonsensical as there is no other character to compete against: they're mentioned, but never show up and no one cares. Most of my playtime has been spent falling asleep while the game is running. I've switched to maximum text speed and enabled skipping new text and transitions(the characters blush several shades uncontrollably a hundred times a conversation). The uniform choices are the only ones that matter, at the start of the game, but the characters don't care which, nor are they relevant anywhere but idle conversation as porn dialog and art consist of everyone getting completely naked as step one. They're also just uniform, skimpy uniform, and lingerie, in the same style. I didn't encounter any technical problems or bugs. So that's a plus. Music was fine but nothing special. Voice lines were short generic clips that characters would occasionally say, not actual dialog. No porn moaning clips either, beyond when you click to finish at the end of each sex scene. I like maids, but this game is a waste of time. There are better choices around in the same genre. With the same theme. Maid Mansion, for example.

  I'll admit, my standards for yuri are always a little higher than M/F VNs (H games included), but I really should know better by now. The good: Cute girls! Maid outfits! Boobs, I guess. Voice acting... I love a good "ara ara" lady in a suit. The mediocre: Everything else. If you want truly mindless porn with a clueless MC and literally nothing else, I guess this is for you. But, personally, I couldn't even get through the first H scene (I went with Saeko.) The premise of the MC going into the mansion and seeing the sexy maid outfits and having everyone hitting on her excessively would be fun and cute, if the premise made any goddamn sense. I would love it if the setting were explicitly made out to be a sexy hostess club sort of thing, and the MC was aware of this from the start-- or if the initial introductions etc leading up to the first H scenes were slightly more slow to develop, or even had an ounce of buildup to make the payoff worth it. Or if the MC had any clue what was going on. It seems kind of unrealistic for her to be this naive. I think it could be fun if a different direction was taken with the premise. It could be a fun self-indulgent thing that I would've definitely spent more time with if the bizarre setup wasn't so immersion-breaking I was too busy trying to make any sense of what was happening to even focus on the erotic stuff, and wasn't so annoyed by the oblivious MC.

  At the start of Himeko Maid you'll have two routes to choose from, Harumi and Saeko each of which have theirs very own LEWD CGS with Suzuka(main character) of this Yuri VN. Apart from that the history dosen't vary much from one route to another in the 4 to 6 hours of duration. Overall is a very decent VN with a couple of distinct enough Maids. Harumi is adorable BUT Saeko is BEST GIRL imo (LOVED HER SO MUCH). Himeko maid is a well crafted Yuri VN made by TOFFER Team and specially having in mind that is their first attemp at this genre. Definitely gonna stick around and see how much this developer learns and improves with their next VN called LEWD IDOL PROJECT which also will be in the Yuri genre. It's a hidden gem worth playing. [h1] 7/10 [/h1]
