So… The art is gorgeous and the world building interesting but the game wasn’t for me and I think it’s mostly because of my expectation when reading the features. I was prepared to have some depiction of sexual violence (like maybe a final battle with murders and rape in the chaos or something...), but I didn’t expect it be ever-present. I played a bit (I think I did around 6 point of view change), and I feel like there isn’t a scene without a depiction of some kind of NPC being sexually harass. It really made me uncomfortable all along, and the fact that all the characters seems sexually obsessed didn’t helped me to feel more at ease. I really had the impression of playing a porn game, even if their is no graphical sex scenes (graphical as in « detailed action and anatomic depiction »). Once again, I expected sex scene, and I love them in general, so it’s not the issue in itself, it’s how much sex is gratuitous and ever-present.

For example (small spoiler) when the ex slave decide to casually masturbate in front of one of the main character ensuing a really weird and long conversation about her hand being clean or not. It just made me so uncomfortable, and feel so gratuitous. Especially since the previous sentences already stated more than clearly she was at ease with her own sexuality and borderline nymphomaniac. And it’s just an example among others... (End of spoiler)

Anyway, I don’t recommend the game for people who like romance with a bit of smut like me, I think the game should be more identify as porn, not only mature...

Hello Ayael, thank you so much for your comment and feedback. We apologize that RoR wasn't for you - we want to make sure that users are aware of the type of story they will be reading and it appears we did not convey the details of the game well enough in our description

Yes, the game is very sexual with frequent sexual conversations. The game is definitely made for those who enjoy sex and romance alike. We will look to update our description to better reflect the tone and story of our game.

Please contact me at doug@basileusgames.com if you are interested in a refund, we want to make sure to do right by you for supporting indie games (whether they are for you or not). Thanks again.

Hello, I appreciate your offer, but I do not wish a refund, it's not a lot of money and even if the game is not for me, there is clearly a lot of work into it nonetheless. 

I really think the content warning is better now, and I appreciate you take the time to modify it after my feedback. If I am nitpicking, I would say occasional should be replace by frequent in this sentence: "and contains occasional descriptions of sexual violence."

I don't know how the games turn afterward, but in top of some scenes clearly mentioning rape like the sacking flashback, on my playthrough I didn't see a single scene on Clodia point of view without a servant being sexually harass or assaulted. The whole concept of sex slave also technically falls into the sexual violence umbrella since they don't have the choice. Occasional really gives the impression it's a one or two time thing, which is not since it really feels like one of the leitmotiv of the game.

Thanks again for listening my feedback, and I wish you the best luck in your future projects.
